CHAPTER TEN
🥀 JULIAN HART
PRESENT DAY
______

The next day at work was awkward, Dante kept calling me into his VIP room. Every time I went, he made me dance till my body gave out, no breaks or nothing. He didn't touch me at all like a few nights ago, I don't know if I was angry at that or happy.

I didn't like him, I swear. It's just...I don't even know, maybe it's just him. And the size of his dick- okay, let's focus. I put my shit in my locker and sighed, grabbing my bag. "Heading out?" Evan's asked me. "Yeah..need some sleep and my body is so sore." I cracked my neck and Evan's nodded. "Well, okay. Next week though redhead throwing a party. You should go," he offered.

"It's his party and I'm not going if I wasn't invited." I said. "You want to go?" Speaking of the devil, he popped up behind me. Startling me a bit. "Uh, sure?" I shrugged. "Okay. You're invited then." He turned and walked away. "See, now you're invited. I'm going to be there, so you won't be alone." He said and I nodded.

I'd rather go with Alex to be honest, nothing was wrong with Evan's but Alex was my best friend and I had no idea of replacing her, at all. "Okay." Was all I said and walked off, leaving and going straight to the curb so my Uber could know where I was.

It was getting chilly around this time, I hugged myself and looked at the gps of the driver, they were 15 minutes away. I rolled my eyes, too long. With all this money I'm making, I could start saving up for a car but here's another problem: I didn't know how to drive. I know, I know, I know but it's not my fault, I was never taught. It was really embarrassing.

Suddenly a black charger pulled up to the curb and rolled down its window, showing dante. "Oh God no.." I whispered to myself and looked away. "It's cold." He said and I didn't answer. "It's warm in my car. Instead of waiting for whoever you're waiting for, I'll take you home. Free of charge," he said and I really didn't want to speak to him. He's been making my legs sore for the past few days.

"I don't believe you. They're almost here anyways," I said still not looking at him. "Julian." He said my name and I could tell his tone changed. I still didn't look however. "Dante." I said back and I heard him chuckle. Suddenly his car door opened, I looked and he was wearing a long sleeve shirt but his sleeves were rolled up and his tattoos were showing.

That definitely didn't turn me on. He didn't turn me on.

"My Uber is on their way ." I said and looked at my Uber gps, I hope they hurry the fuck on. They were still in the same spot as before. "Cancel it." Dante said and held his car door open. It did look warm and comfortable in his car. I looked at him then my phone and sighed.

I cancelled it and got in his car. The warmth immediately hitting me, the seats even had their own warmer. His car smelt amazing, almost like him. "Put your seatbelt on," he said and I rolled my eyes but did it. He closed his door and turned the air up a little bit more.

"I could end up killing you for making me dance till I pass out, be careful." I told him and he looked at me, leaned in to me and then smiled slowly. Some of his grillz showing. "I'll remember that," he said and clicked my seatbelt on then backed away. I let go of the breath I was holding and tried to relax.

We finally made it to the apartment and I was about to thank him when I realized I never gave him my address. "How'd you know where I live at..?" I asked suspiciously. "I'm the owner of the club, I know all of my employees addresses." He said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at me. "Yeah right." I mumbled and was about to get out before it began to pour down raining.

"Not tonight. Fuck..!" I said and sat back in the seat. "I'll pull you around to the front," he said and I looked at him. Why was he being so nice? And why is my heart beating so damn fast? He pulled me up to the front, and I was about to get out before my dumb ass mouth moved before anything else. "Do you want to come in?" I asked him and immediately regretted it.

This wasn't even my damn house. He tilted his head at me and then looked past me. "Worried for my safety? I could get home, don't worry love." He said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not worried about you," my heart is just soft, I thought.

He looked at me and smiled. "Okay." He said. "I have an umbrella, I'll park and be up." He said and I nodded. I got out the car and immediately speed walked into the building. Why would I do that? That's not even like me..

I went to open the door for him and he came in, putting the wet umbrella by the door. He looked around the place and smiled. "It's nice," he said and then looked at me. I closed the door behind him. "You can sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the couch," I pointed to the couch and he snorted. "What type of man do you think I am?" He asked.

"I'll sleep on the couch, you have your bed." He said and took his shoes off and walked all the way in. "I won't feel right letting you sleep on the couch." I admitted and he looked back at me. "Then I'll sleep with you," he said nonchalantly and I didn't even know what to say.

"I'll just sleep on the co-'''

"Julian. This isn't my home, this is yours. We can share the bed if you feel uncomfortable with me sleeping on your couch. It's not a big ass deal, don't make it one." He said and pulled his phone out. "But-'''

He pushed me to the wall, "Stop." Was all he said and we stayed like that for a minute, I finally nodded and we went to my room. It wasn't messy but it had clothes all on the chair and bed , I moved the clothes off the bed to the closest. "If you don't like how my room look then you're free to the couch and I wouldn't care," I said as I looked at him as he watched my room.

He didn't say anything, so I just got in the covers. "You wanted me in here, don't change your mind now." He said and took his shirt off, folding it and then getting next to me in bed. I sucked in a breath and turned the other way. "Don't touch me," I told him and he snorted.

"Don't worry, I like consent." He said and turned the lamp off.
