Tinder Date {18+}

Protector

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹'𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘃:

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist before leaving the bathroom. I looked at the two empty beds and sighed. "Lauren?" I called out but no answer.

I threw on my Tommy Hilfiger sweat shirt and some red sweat pants to match.

She could have at least told me that she was leaving.

I sat on the bed and rubbed my face roughly. I was so frustrated with her and angry but I refuse to let it out on her. The video of her on top of Stephen replayed in my head like a broke record. I didn't hate her, I hated him. He took advantage of her while she was vulnerable...while she still had a soft spot for him.

The feeling consumed me. I reached over on the night stand and grabbed the lamp. In one swift motion I held it up high and smashed it to the floor.

I haven't been this angry since Justin disrespected her at her party in the summer. My mind immediately changed to the thought of Justin. Everything he did to her. He liked her and couldn't have her...or did he even like her?

I walked to the balcony and looked out at the night sky with my body leaning against the railing with my hands resting on it. My eyes drifted down at the alleyway below. "Fucking dump" I mumbled to myself. There was garbage bags and dirty trash cans against the brick wall. It smelled like piss.

I never wanted to bring her here and the second Janet and her husband are out of my apartment I'm taking her back and keeping her safe. I continued to look at the alley way in disgust.

A couple stumble into the alley...Or maybe it was a man with a prostitute. I was about to walk away not wanting to watch whatever was about to go down with them. That was until I heard the girl try to scream. The man in the gray hoodie covered her mouth and held her throat as she fought back. I stood their in shock. The man turned his body trying to unzip his pants and that's when I saw her face.

"Lauren" I said lowly to myself. Her tears glistening on her face in the streetlight. I slammed my hand on the railing and ran out the hotel room. I promised to protect her and I'll be damned if she gets hurt by a man again.

I ran through the hotel lobby and out the front doors. Then took 2 sharp turns until I saw them in the alleyway. Before the man could even touch her with his dick I ran up to him and tackled him.

Lauren dropped to the ground coughing and gasping for air while I punched the man repeatedly until his face and my knuckles were bleeding. I grabbed the scumbag by his hoodie and looked at his face.

"You fuck" I yelled as I saw Justin's swollen face. He let out a strained laugh and coughed. "Lauren and Kandy ruined my fucking life so now I'm going to ruin there's. I already handled Kandy but I'll never stop coming after Lauren." He said in a raspy voice.

"You're going to leave them alone you sick fuck. You did enough to Lauren. If you never let Kandy bribe you into being a bitch ass punk you wouldn't have lost your scholarship. Your actions had consequences" I said loud and clear,then slammed his head against the concrete.

"I'm going to fucking kill her, if it's the last thing I do" he mumbled. I held my fist in the air, ready to give him one last punch that was going to cause his soul to leave his body and go straight to hell.

Police sirens were heard in the distance and Lauren grabbed my arm and pulled me back on to my ass. "Baby please, we have to go". She said tugging on my sweat shirt. I got up and took her hand and started to run. I glanced back at Justin who was laying on the concrete slowly trying to get up.
