Alexi

I stood there more shocked than anything and struggling to find words to reply with.

"I-I found her o-on her own and I was W-worried about her, so I t-took her with me incase s-somebody tried to take h-her" I rushed out all at once hoping he would at least catch what I was saying.

"Is what this woman said true?" The man turned and said to his little sister.

"Yes!" Elizabeth cheered whilst she licked her ice cream, getting it all over her hands and face.

"Michael, Michael Sanders" The man in front of me spoke as he help his hand out for me to shake. As my hand met his a shock of insecurity hit me almost telling me to run from this person but I couldn't will my legs to move.

"Alexi" I say whilst studying his features. I knew his face from somewhere. I was too caught up in my though process to realise that he had started to walk away from me, leaving me standing on my own. Rude.

Pulling out my phone I pulled up Jenna's contact and messaged her.

"Hi Stranger, what are you doing today?" Meh. Pressing send I pushed my phone back into my pocket and made my way to the bank.

 Might as well do some shopping. Walking along the busy streets of Hells Kitchen I felt a sense of insecurity hit me, Jenna always had her phone in her hand. It never takes her this long to reply.

Remembering mine and Jenna's conversation about me having to move out she was determined to convince me that she would be able to keep up with the rent payments.

 I knew she could but I hate to put that commitment on somebody, her parents left her quite a lot of money when they retired from running one of the most wealthy companies in England.

Heading over to the west side of the city I turned the corner to my apartment and frowned at the sight of a black SUV parked outside on the road. I picked up the pace entering the block and jogged up the stairs taking two at a time.

 By the time I got to the top Im Pretty sure I looked like a sweaty mess. 

I defiantly should start working out in my spare time. Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door it opened to reveal a very powerful looking man dressed in a fitted black suit, taking in his appearance I noticed his lack of hair on his head which made me smirk inwards towards myself.

"Can I help you?" He asked noticing I had been standing staring at him for at least a minute without saying anything.

"Erm.. I was just looking for Jenna is she home?" My voice was shaky and small compared to his.

"Babe what's wrong?" Jenna's voice spoke out from behind this freakishly large man with a scary voice. Poking my head around the man Jenna spotted me and squealed.

"Alexi!! I'm so glad you chose to come back I've missed you so much." Before I could even get a word in she turned to the man and started talking really really fast and I'm sure by the look on his face he didn't understand a word she was saying either.

"Jenna darling, calm down I cannot understand a single word you are saying" Darling? Where the heck did that come from?

"What I said was this is Alexi that I was telling you about and how your asshole friend fired her". She spoke a it slower placing her hand on his bicep. Raising my eyebrow at her actions both of her eyes widen. 

"Alexi I don't believe you've met my boyfriend, his name is Wilson, Wilson Fisk".
