His Love

Chapter 19- Sudden Change

-Alaina-

Hooking my arm around his, he looks at me.

"I'm not sure about this, A, if he threatens me, I'm a scrawny bartender who can't fight."

I roll my eyes at him.

"Look, he would hurt someone, but never in front of me." I pat his arm before taking a step into the cheapest, but nice restaurant I could find.

I search the room, because if I'm honest, I know for a fact he would find where I was going.

And I was right.

He sits in a booth in the corner, his eyes glued to Kai, jaw clenched.

Knew it.

"We will be lucky to make it through 10 minutes of this dinner, so don't worry you'll be able to make it to your real date."

"Good, he's hot, Alaina, and I'm here with you risking it, so feel lucky." he winks at me, making me laugh.

I look over to wear Dominic sits, his legs spread apart, his gaze directed at me.

"So which one is he?" Kai looks around until his eyes meet Dom.

"Oh. That one. You know, I get why you like him." He nudges my elbow.

"Kai." his head turns in my direction. "Kiss me."

"Fuck you, I don't have a death wish, look at the way he looks at me just for being here with you."

"Trust me." 

He hesitates before grabbing my face and leaning in.

But I don't even feel the contact before I'm ripped away.

His hand grips onto my arm, dragging me away.

Kai throws his arms up, leaving me to my own defences.

Throwing up my middle finger, he laughs before sitting down again.

I'm trapped between a body and the wall, his breath fanning my face.

"I'm going to kill him." he mutters, looking into my eyes.

"Not on my watch."

"Then look away, Alaina." he lifts off the wall.

Stopping him with my arm, he glances back at me.

"Stand down, James Bond, you know you aren't capable of that."

I think.

He scoffs, dropping his head between his shoulders.

"Lord give me patience, or an untraceable handgun." his fists clench and unclench.

"I don't get you." I mumble, looking at the floor.

"You break up with me, no contact for 2 months and you somehow worm your way back into my life but don't let me live without you. Why break up with me if I'm not allowed anyone else?"

"I told you, my feelings never changed, you just have to to trust me this is for you, not me." his eyes close as if in pain.

"Trust me, this is doing me no good, it's is quite literally torture watching you walk around with a guy that isn't me. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have to." his eyes hold this sadness I can't explain.

I let out a soft laugh before pushing past him to walk out.

"Alaina please, just listen to me."

"No, I'm sick of listening to your bullshit, I've been sat sulking over our breakup and I'm finally figuring it out and recovering, and you're here trying to keep me 'safe'? Fuck you, Dominic."
