The Unforgivable (Book One)

Seven - Unexpected

Mia's POV

As we rode out to the bar I filled Addison in with all the details of my time with Alexander and she agreed he sounded like a dream. All she wanted for me was to take things slow and make sure I really wanted him. That's if he even wanted me.

We made a deal to not speak about him for the rest of the night since I wanted to just forget everything. It seemed like a dream that he would be interested in me. The nerves and emotions had me stressed out. As soon as we walked in the club I knew it was all I needed to loosen up. I immediately ordered drinks and began to dance with Addison.

After a couple drinks and various songs I began to feel a little tipsy but I kept on having fun dancing anyways. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around to find a tall guy with jet black hair and dark blue eyes. He seemed to be a bit drunk as he tried to talk to me.

"Hey angel... Where'd you fall from?"

I was about to come back with a witty comeback when I felt an intense stare and I looked around until my eyes met a pair of bright green and very angry eyes.

Now the guy in front of me seemed very interesting. If I could just hide behind this guy then Alexander might think he didn't really see me and leave? I knew it would be a miracle but I had to try.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Dance with me?"

"Of course beautiful" he slurred.

We began swaying to the music and I looked around for Addison but she was already dancing with a very handsome Latino looking guy.

"What's your name gorgeous?" He asked as he pulled me closer against him.

"Mia, yours?"

"Miles." He said that then moved his hands lower down my back and I could feel things getting out of hand. I tried to push him away while looking for those bright green eyes when all of a sudden a threatening loud voice said "back off the girl, she's obviously pushing you away."

I turned around to see Alexander looking like he would punch someone any second now. Miles looked like he debated whether or not it was worth it to fight but then raised his hands up and walked away.

I was still a little bit tipsy but I could take care of myself. "Thanks. What are you doing here? I was just dancing with a friend"

"That's not what it looked like."

I began to walk away when I felt him grab my arm tightly. "You're hurting me Mr. Kingston."

"Don't call me that. We're not at work."

I said nothing and kept trying to pull away but he wouldn't budge. He was scaring me because he looked so angry and hurt.

I was saved by Addison's voice which said, "hey Mia this is Taylor" then the Latino looking male named Taylor looked at Alexander and said "hey man you already met Addy's best friend Mia?".

Great. Just what I needed. Addison and Taylor seemed to hit it off great which meant now I would have no one to spend the rest of the night with unless I became a third wheel.

Alexander finally let go of me then looked apologetic and said "I'm sorry that guy just got on my nerves."

I lightly rubbed my arm knowing a bruise would form there tomorrow and began to leave the club with Addison tailing me. Surely she had already exchanged numbers with Taylor.

"Please don't tell me that's your boss?"

I stayed quiet and she looked at me waiting.

"Say something"

"You told me not to tell you he's my boss and he is so I couldn't say anything..."

"Oh my god he is so hot!"

"Exactly! Im so out of his league I don't know why he acts like he's interested in me. Come on Ads it's time to leave."

"Alright.. But oh wait I forgot, Taylor has my phone in his pocket! I'll be back in a minute!"

She ran back inside the club and I rubbed my arms up and down due to the cold as I waited. I closed my eyes for just a second when I felt a presence near me.

I looked around and realized it was just Alexander walking towards me.

"You shouldn't be out here alone you know? It's dangerous."

I looked at him as he got closer and closer so that his body was pressing me up against the wall and his hands were flat on the wall next to my head caging me in.

"I can take care of myself" There was no way I could escape his enthralling stare.

"You shouldn't have to" he said as he leaned in closer and I could tell he had been drinking. I looked at him and his eyes showed me he was definitely drunk as he brushed his nose up and down my neck softly.

"What do you mean?" my voice sounded shaky as I stayed still. There was no way to describe the electricity running through me.

"Just let me take care of you, I have never felt like this about anyone... I know it's just been a couple days but I feel like I need to be around you..." he said as he lightly kissed my neck then my jaw.

My mind was becoming clouded and in a couple seconds I would no longer have any self control.

"Mia?" Addison's voice interrupted us and I jumped slightly as Alexander moved back. "There you are Mia... And company I see."

"Let's go" I grabbed her hand and quickly got in the car then sped all the way home leaving him standing outside the bar.

Alex's POV

Dang I had been so close to having her agree to be my girl. I just needed a couple more minutes but her friend decided to interrupt. I had to admit that she was starting to convince me that maybe I was wrong. She seemed too good to hurt anyone. But after tonight when I got to the club and I saw her dancing with that guy after I had kissed her in the car I saw who she really was. She probably just wanted to get money out of that guy while she got close enough to take it away from me.

Taylor hooked up with her friend and that could work to my advantage as well. If Taylor dated her he could have some leverage and speak well to her of me. Then her friend would like me and surely that would help my case with Mia.

After I got home and laid down in my bed I looked at the family portrait. It was taken a couple weeks before my birthday and we all looked so happy. I wish I could go back to that time but since I can't I will make sure I get justice for my dad's death.
