BILLIE-HALES & ZEALOUS

Chapter 3

CHAPTER THREE

As I make my way out of the stadium, I suddenly become dizzy again which unfortunately caused me to drop to my knees. It hurt too. Yet just as I'm about to cry, I'm taken by surprise when strong arms wrap around me.

"Easy, baby. Take it easy. I told you not to move, didn't I?"
As he said this, I'm lifted into his arms bridal style. I think he'll take me back inside, but I'm surprised when he sits down on a bench. It's with me and my arms wrapped around his neck. We're so close his beard brushed against my cheek, which made me shiver.

"Are you cold?" He asked and I shook my head, telling him "I'm warm and toasty," making him laugh again. Oh lord, I have to bite my lip just to stop myself from moaning just at the sound.

"You know, people will talk if you're seen with me."
His brows nip together and I watch his lips curve into a grin when he says, he didn't care.
"I don't give a shit about what anyone says or thinks. I'll make my mind up when you agree to come out with me."

My heart is pounding in my chest, and I think he felt it because he's looking at my chest before lifting his eyes to look into mine. Before I could answer, I gasp in shock again when I hear a voice. It's a voice I know all too well.

"Sorry, but that ain't ever gonna happen." Lucius, my dad said.
Only when I turn my head, do I see my other dad too Angelus. Oh, bloody hell. Angelus and Lucius, my dads are standing there. They're there, about three feet away from us. Oh shit!

"Dad, um..."
I'm scrambling to stand up, and luckily Beard-guy, allows me to do so. Only he stands with me making sure I don't fall again. He's holding his hand to the base of my back. Oh hell. I can feel it, it's burning me again. So while my dad's get closer, my heart went nuts.

"Sorry sir, I..." He attempts to speak while sounding very, apologetic, but my dad Angelus cuts him off. He moved for the questions, asking him how old he was. Oh, bollocks, here we go.

"I'm twenty-two, sir."
Wow, he's twenty-two? I would've said twenty-five. I guess the beard makes him look a little older.

"Yeah, well, my daughter is only eighteen, so it ain't happening. Come on Billie, we're taking you to the hospital you need that lump seen too."

My body jumps a little only because I don't want to leave yet. I want to stay here and talk a little more with Mr Hottie here. I also want to go out with him, or at least get his name, but mostly because I can feel him. He's moving his hand to my waist giving it a little squeeze. It's like he's silently asking me not to go.

"Dad, I'll be right there just give me a second. Okay, please?"
I'm looking at him silently pleading with him to give me this. I can see I'm pushing it, so to ease his worries I tell him he helped me. Granted, he'd caused this lump, but it was my fault. I shouldn't have been down there. However, much to my embarrassment, I'm so glad I did.

"You have one minute and if you're not in the car by the fifty-ninth second? I'm coming to get you."

Angelus looks at my dad. He's obviously not agreeing with him, but Lucius just gives him a look. I'm not sure what it means, but while they're doing this, I want to roll my eyes. I really do. Now normally I would, but I'm not gonna push it, especially not when I want to see this beautiful man again.

"I promise dad I'll be there."

Finally, as they walk away, I see they're still taking glances. They're probably making sure, I'm not running off.
