Mine to Keep

Chapter 5-Questions?

"I wanted to get some fresh air. It was getting hot," I said turning around to see an angry face.

"Come here, now!" I slowly walked over there and stood by him. "Next time you try to sneak off, come up with a better excuse. But you wanna know something? There won't be a next time."

At that moment his mother walked in. " I know I didn't say that we were done and I thought I told to get rid of her. I want her out of this house right now."

Now's my chance to escape.

"Well I guess that's my cue to leave, huh. I'll see you never." I said starting to walk backwards. He grabbed my wrist and I could feel the tingles again.

"Mom, I've been really nice for a while now but I think you have forgotten something. I am your," he glanced at me," your superior and you will not talk to me like that. I don't care if you are my mother, if you don't respect my partner then that means you don't respect, and if that's the case then there will be a problem. Are we clear?"

She glanced between the two of us. "Are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure," he said.

"OK fine she can stay." She walked away but I still heard her say," I can't wait until he goes back to his house."

"So what was that excuse you made earlier? You know the one about you wanting to go get some fresh air," he said raising his eyebrows.

"Umm, I think I've gotten enough fresh air for today, but now can ask you a question?"

"Sure, come and sit down." He led me over to one of the couches and sat on the coffee table in front of it.

"When am I going to leave?"

"Never. Next question."

"Why?"

"Why?"

"You can't answer a question with a question," I said getting frustrated.

" Actually I can I'm technically answering your question. Now you don't want to waste your answer time arguing do you?" he said with a smirk on his face.

Well his handsome face. Wait did he say answer time?

"Answer time, since when was there a time limit?"

" Since now, I don't want this to take too long. I still need to show you around."

"OK what did you mean when you told your mom that you were her superior?"

"What I said. That I'm her superior what's confusing about that?"

" It doesn't matter anyway. Will I be able to at least go home and get a few things?"

"There would be no need for you to do that, my men have already been to your run-down apartment and gotten your items."

Run-down?

"For your information my apartment is not "run-down" ok just because it's not as big as your house doesn't mean you can call it that. You know what I'm done asking questions. Just take me on your little tour, then take me back to my room."

He then smiled really big. "What," I said with a look of irritation on my face.

"You said my room. Now let's go."
