LUXURY APARTMENTS
LOS ANGELES
"Jenna, how was the date?" Kate asked Jenna was cooking dinner while on Facetime with Kate. She called to get details on the date and to gossip about something that went down at work. "It was okay, not what I expected, but it was good," she said truthfully.Jenna was used to over-the-top dates. Arias never let her forget a date. He made sure every day was different and a night to remember. "What happened?" she asked. "I got to the restaurant; he didn't get me anything, no flowers, nothing; he talked about himself the whole night. Every time I did try to talk, he would cut me off." she felt that night was more about him than him getting to know her
"And when it was time to go, he tried to kiss me. I told him I wasn't ready, and he told me to give him a chance. I just walked away," she said, cutting up an onion. "The next day, he showed up at my apartment," she said. Kate's eyes widened. "How did he know where you lived? You didn't let him pick you up, did you?" she asked, worried. "No, I drove there myself. I think he followed me but thank you. My building has around-the-clock security," she said, adding the onions to the pan.
"That is creepy. Has he been back?" she asked. "He came by earlier, but I didn't go down there, though," she said. "He didn't leave till now. The front desk lady had to threaten him with the cops," she said, rolling her eyes. She didn't understand why he couldn't take no for an answer.
"Babe, are you ready?" Kate's boyfriend said. I got to go, and Matt is going to the movies. Talk to you later," she said. Jenna said bye, and they hung up. She finished cooking, ate, and showered after she changed into leggings and a long T-shirt. She looked at the time noticing it was time for Nova's walk
She went looking for her, and once she found her, she put her collar on and leash on. They both walked to the door. She opened it and walked, making sure she locked up. She walked past Arias's door, looking at it. Before heading to the elevator, she pushed the lobby button.
The doors opened, and they both walked out. They walked a couple of blocks. "Jenna?" she heard from behind her. She turned and was met with a smiling Dustin. "Dustin? what are you doing over here?" she asked, confused. She knew Dustin lived near the gym on the upper side of LA; she didn't understand why he was there.
"I was coming by to see you; you haven't been returning my calls and texts," he said, walking a little closer to her. "I've been busy, Dustin, plus I told you I wasn't re-" he cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "Jenna, I don't want to hear that bullshit excuse," he said in an annoying tone he moved closer and grabbed her by the hand tightly. "You don't get to walk away from me," he said. "Let go of me!" she said. Trying to get out of his grip, he tightens his grip on her.
"Let me go, Dustin! you're hurting me!" she said, trying to get him off her "I'm sick of you ignoring me you can't get rid of me!" he said yelling into her face he raised his hand, and she blocked her face, but when she didn't feel his hit, she looked at him, and an angry Arias was standing behind him holding his hand she looked at him "which hand did he grab you with?" he asked looking at Jenna with pure evilness in them....
SAME NIGHT
LOÑDONO RESTAURANT
LOS ANGELES
"Hey, Mr. Maluma, how are you?" The new hostess asked, "I'm fine," Arias said as he returned to his office. "Beto is asking when we are shipping out more beads," Óscar said as they walked into the office. "Next week, make sure you check everything out," Arias said. He didn't need a problem like last time."You got Maluma," his worker said as he walked. Arias sighed and looked at the picture of Jenna on his desk; he picked it up and looked at how happy she was in this picture. He could still hear her yelling for him to stop taking pictures.
His smile dropped when he remembered the day he was arrested and broke her heart forever. He sighed and put the picture down. He started working on something to get his mind off Jenna for the night.
"Hey, boss, we are all closed up," Lauren said. Arias looked at the time and noticed it was 2 a.m. Alright, I'll lock up and get home," he said, stretching. He did one last thing before logging out and leaving the office. He locked everything up and set the alarm before walking out back. "Take me home," he said to his driver. "Right away, sir."
The car ride home was fast. He tried and was ready to sleep. He walked inside the lobby and walked to the elevator. He started having a bad feeling but pushed it to the side. He tried to make it, but he couldn't fight this feeling. The doors opened to his floor, and the feeling got worse. "Why do I feel like this?" he said. He turned down the hallway and stopped in his tracks. "LET ME GO!!" he heard Jenn yell. "NO, YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM!!" he listened to another person. "Let go of me, Dustin, you're hurting me!" she said. He saw Dustin raise his hand. His eyes darkened
Arias approached them, grabbed Dustin's hand, and looked at a scared Jenna. She finally looked up and noticed Arias standing behind Dustin. "What hand did he grab you with?" he said, looking at her like he was ready to kill. She pointed to his right-hand
Arias pulled Dustin towards the stair's doors; he opened the doors. He grabbed his hand, sat it on the door frame, and closed the door on his hand "FUCK!!!!AHA!" Dustin yelled in pain. Arias did that twice and pushed him out the door. "If you ever in your life show up to her place again, it won't just be your hand that I will fucking break," Arias said, leaving a hurt Dustin on the floor in pain.
He walked back to Jenna. She was leaning against the wall when she noticed Arias come back, and she walked up to him. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to bring you into my mess," she said, looking down. He chuckled whenever she was nervous or shy. She did this. He picked her up. "You are too beautiful to be looking down," he said before walking to his door. "Good night, Jen Bear," he said, calling her the many nicknames he had for her. She smiled and walked into her place
