Kill me

4. Rubin

When I arrived home with Arianna, her door was unlocked when I opened it for her, so I walked around the back and that's when my heart sank to my stomach. The back door was also opened, like wide open, someone was in the house, Arianna was in the house. I ran through the house careful not to make noise so she wouldn't hear me and that's when I saw the fucker. In her living room, watching her walk upstairs, I've seen her friends and he wasn't one of them.

This guy was tall, not as tall as me but taller than Arianna, he was pretty built but I could take him. He turned around and he froze "Boo" I said and I tackled him, he tried to get out from under my arms as I strangled him and he ended up knocking a vase. I finally got him on the ground and I picked the shit out of him, who knew what he was planning on doing. I dragged him into the kitchen and I grabbed my gun pinning him to the kitchen counter.

I yanked him by his arm and I pulled him outside so Arianna wouldn't hear us. I beat the shit out of him, but just as the guy passed out, I felt a hand grab mine and I turned my head around. Arianna was standing behind me, she was in an over sized t-shirt that just covered her thighs, I let go of the guy and stood up. I scanned her body making sure she had no cuts and I didn't see any but she looked terrified, I asked if she was okay and she nodded. I sighed in relief before looking back at the guy, she had no idea who he was. Whoever he was, who knew what he was gonna do to her.

I called a couple of my friends and they took the guy to the nearest hospital and I went inside, Arianna was cleaning the glass and I bent down to help her. "Be careful of your feet" I said and he looked up at me, she smiled before looking back down "Sorry about the vase.. And the table" I said in a low tone. She stood up and walked to the garbage and threw away the glass, "You saved my life Rubin... who knows what he would've done if you weren't here" she said, bending back down to clean up the rest. We finished cleaning and I walked back into the kitchen, to find her holding her foot. She has a shard of glass in it, it wasn't big but I could see it.

I got her a chair and she sat on it, I placed my jacket on her legs because the shirt would rise when she sat down. I checked her foot and she winced, "Sorry" I said in a low voice. I grabbed paper towel and something to pull the glass out. "Do you have tweezers anywhere?" I asked "In the bottom drawer.. Why?" She asked as I walked away "I need to pull that out" I said and she looked panicked "It'll hurt for a second, I promise" I reassured and she nodded.

I placed the tweezers around the glass and she winced, I slowly pulled it out and she groaned in pain. I got the piece out and placed the wet paper towel on it "There.. Done" I said applying more pressure. Her face was red and she looked exhausted, "You should get some sleep" I said and she nodded. I helped her upstairs and into bed before shutting the back door, locking it and leaving to go sleep in my car. I didn't want to but I had to, I can't get attached. She's just my client.. She isn't mine
