Ivy's World

Chapter 20 - Baring my heart

________________IVY_________________

I was abused by my ex. I looked at him to get a reaction but he seems very calm so I continued. I bared my heart to him. Crying in-between and he was patient enough. I was in awe of how could a man like this exist.

So, Mr Archer, I'm a broken girl and you can't possibly settle for someone like me.... I can't....

Ssshhhh.... Hey, look at me. It doesn't matter. I want you and I still you. It's his loss to have treated you like that. You are a rare Gem tesoro and I promise to cherish and stand by you.
I'm not perfect but I can try for you. He said.

I couldn't say anything but look at the creature in front of me.

What's his name? He asked.

Andy Giovanni. I think he's into some sort of hidden stuff. I can't tell but he....

Shhh... Don't worry baby... I'm here for you. Come here...

I scooted more closer hugging him and feeling his heartbeat. I love this man.

Ivy.... He called.

I looked up to look at him.

I think I should get you some security or something. I mean I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. I will be changing the locks by morning and it will be only you, me and Martha that will have the code. I need to be sure that you're safe all the time. Mario will be driving you from tomorrow and he will also serve as your bodyguard too. I will feel more at ease if someone is always with you.

Cas... Calm down, nothing is happening to me. Besides I'm not in danger and I'm doing great on my own. I hate bodyguards or people watching my every move.

Baby I know, I just want you to be safe and besides you left Florida for over five years and haven't returned. Who knows if he's looking for you. And you're becoming a renown event planner, so many people may want to harm you. My business partner that are not happy with me may target you once they knows how much I treasure you. You're mine baby and I want you safe all the time.

I surprised myself when I attacked his lips. He didn't respond immediately but he did kiss me back. Kissing him is now my drugs.

Cas... I know how you feel but aren't you over reacting. Yes he may be looking for me but time has changed. I'm not the same person I was six years ago. Besides I have you beside me now.

It doesn't harm to be extra careful baby. He said touching my face.

I know and thank you for looking out for me. I appreciate but I will be fine. And if I ever meet him I will punch him and I will call you.

Promise? He asked.

I promise. I said, pecking his lips.

Are you going to break up with Ian? He asked.

What? I burst out laughing. I'm sorry but I can't break up with him.

Why? You're mine now and I don't share what's mine.

No Mr. You haven't asked me out and I haven't accepted you as my man.

Why do I have to ask you out when you already know how I feel about you. You're mine tesoro and I can't share you with some stick.

Jeez..Cas you need to take me out on a date and ask me to be your girlfriend first then I will think about it and gets permission from Ian to date you. Now shoo, go and change your clothes I need to sleep. I said pushing him out of the bed. Gosh, you need to see his face.

Ivy, you mean, you need to get permission from Ian first. I think I need to warn him to stay clear around you. Give me his address or number.

I can't, now get out of my room.
