Amy's POV:
The ride was fairly short and the majority of the time Mia & Liam were extremely pre-occupied with one another.
Mr. Anderson took a couple of phone calls on the ride there and I just stared out of the window looking at the streets as we passed by them.
I made myself a mental note to respond back to my text messages tomorrow morning and to hop on my MacBook that Mr. Anderson gifted me so that I can start looking at what flights may look like for the holidays that are coming up. I figured by the time that Christmas rolls around I'd at-least be able to take off if possible.
Suddenly the car comes to an abrupt halt due to the traffic in front but the driver radios in that we have arrived.
Mr. Anderson opens the door once more but this time he extends his hand out to me.
I place my hand in his as I look at him while I'm getting out of the car.
He stares intently into my eyes, as I thank him.
When I'm finally out of the car he repeats the same action to Mia, who also thanks him.
Once we're all out of the limo, I can't help but look up as to see where we are and notice the immensely long line that is formed outside of the club.
You can hear the music blasting from down here. The building has a beautiful archway entrance with multiple security guards standing outside, next to a podium that reads "Rooftop party, top floor."
Mia makes a giddy sound and seems excited as we all start to walk closer to the entrance.
I notice that Liam walks close enough to Mia and hugs her on her waist while pulling her closer to him. I can see her blush and I can't help but feel happy for her in that moment.
As they walk in front of us, I notice that we are let in immediately upon them noticing Mr. Anderson.
As we are walking through the entrance I notice how packed the hallway is. It's filled with a bunch of guys clearly walking fast towards the elevator that's straight ahead down the hall.
I instantly feel a little bit nervous at the amount of people in front of us but try to remain calm while walking in.
Suddenly the unexpected happens.
Mr. Anderson grabs me by the waist and pulls me in towards him, he's half behind me and half next to me.
My heart starts to beat faster because I can't believe at how close we are together.
Before I can even react Mr. Anderson and Liam exchange a few words about the VIP elevator that's waiting for them around the corner.
I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach at the proximity of our bodies being so close together.
Suddenly my mouth is dry and I need a drink fast!
He drops his hand from my waist and grabs my hand as he pulls me towards the direction in which they're walking in.
Mia is so enveloped in her conversation with Liam as they walk closely together behind us that she's barely looking at me to notice how flustered I am in this moment.
Mr. Anderson is holding my HAND!
As we reach the elevator he takes out his phone to call someone with his right hand while still holding my hand with his left.
"We're downstairs." He mentions over the phone, and just as quickly as he called he hangs up.
The elevator doors open and we're all walking into the elevator cart. The elevator is small, Mr. Anderson steps in first to stand on the left side of the elevator and has his back is facing the wall while he's facing forward towards the entrance of the elevator.
Liam walks in the same way and Mia steps in to get close to him. She mentions to all of us how excited she is for this club and I nod in agreement with her, just as Liam is explaining to her that it's the most exclusive event in town tonight.
I walk in and am somewhat in the middle and face the elevator doors in front of me with the "instant couple" being behind me to my left and Mr. Anderson behind me to the right.
Just as the elevator doors are about to close a man all dressed up in a white and gold suit barges in, which I might add is definitely a tacky outfit, however somehow the Rolex on his arm lets me know that he has money he just simply has no taste for style. As he entered I can't help but notice that as he's walking in to the elevator he starts to smile while looking at me in the most disgusting and vile way that can only remind me of one person similar to him. Mr. Anderson quickly grabs me and pulls me towards him as he has now traded places with me. I was suddenly in the back of the elevator cart with my back to the railing while Mr. Anderson's broad back was standing right in front of me. It all happened so fast I barely had time register what happened.
"You ever look ever look her way again and I'll make sure to put you in the fucking ground that you stand on." He says to the man with a deepness to his voice that I have never heard from him before. It brought shivers down my spine with the way he spoke to him. I would hate to be on the other end of that conversation.
Suddenly Liam walks up next to Mr. Anderson and I expect him to break it off but instead he stands right next to him almost as if ready to stand off to the guy.
"The fuck are you waiting for? An invitation?" He says to him with just as much power in his voice.
The man albeit clearly drunk finally catches who he is talking about and suddenly his eyes scream fear.
I swear I hear him mumble "I'm sorry Mr. Anderson" before he hastily runs out of the elevator cart.
Mia and I exchange a quick glance at each other. One that transcends between the both of us, the clear nuance understanding of how hot this was to experience; and seeing these men defending us in that way definitely changed us.
Granted I understand I am not anything to Mr. Anderson but to see him become so primal in that instance it made me realize how dominating he truly is.
He exudes power, command and authority. It drips off of him in a way that I cannot fathom how any woman on earth can resist him. And I too, am realizing that sooner rather than later I would be no different than these women.
The question remains.... How long can I keep myself from falling for this man?
When all of a sudden as the elevator doors close, Mr. Anderson turns to me and asks me:
"Amelia, are you okay?" His eyes are searching mine and his tone softer than ever, touched something within me.
I couldn't believe how quickly he transformed back into this man who is now concerned with how this interaction affected me.
His eyes are searching my face and I quickly nod my head up and down signaling that I am okay.
And right there just in the light I can see him visibly relax and only then as he's staring deeply into my eyes do I realize; not long.... I can't hold myself for long until I fall for him.
