I fell in love with the purple devil

Part 25

~Ann's point of veiw~

After a rather interesting meal the restaurant began to slow and get ready to close. He wanted to make them stay open so we could talk but I insisted I needed to get home..god Jessica must have been worried, I hadn't told her I was back in town yet, and I left rather suddenly, in lamin terms, she was going to be sooooooo pissed...but I had been preoccupied with Kilgrave to think about too much else..that can't be good..I stand and straighten my dress clearing my throat feeling like an awkward teen, which to no surprise I had actually been.."Th-thanks for the um...f-food.." I mumble gathering myself and starting off, 'Wait!' I heard him call and growl as I was stuck to the spot..I heard his chair scrape the ground as it was pushed out and he hurried over, 'it's dark..and late...at least let my driver take you' he looked down at me with what might have even been concern..it made my cheeks feel kina hot and this strange uneasy but not unwanted feeling. "I'll be fine" I grunted my usual defiant self and clear my throat for him to move. He stood only a moment in which I thought he might not, before stepping to the side and letting me leave, that however didn't mean he looked happy about it. I was slightly wobbly due to the fact that I not only was in heels but maybe. Just maybe! Well...might have had a few too many glasses of wine...I wasn't a big drinker. Messed with your head and the ability to think clearly, gives someone else the advantage, two things I would never do..I held my little clinch making myself keep going and not look back at him as I walked out, instantly assaulted by the chill in the air..I pulled my small shall closer which did jack shit, but I had to keep the allusion, just in case he could see...I walked down the almost pitch black but not at all quiet streets of Hell's Kitchen taking the chance to be alone with my thoughts..the farther away from him the less I could feel his powers..there was something so...well different about him, even just from a few years ago..I took a short cut to my apartment through an alley not noticing the figure following me until I was grabbed and slammed again the wall with a painful yelp...
