Save Me

Chapter Eighteen

Justin stopped the car in front of an unfamiliar warehouse. It was dark but clearly wasn't empty as to all the cars in the front. I reached for the handle to get out the car when Justin grabbed my wrist. I turned and looked at him.

"Stay by my side.. The people in here can be rude and just plain perverted." He muttered. I nodded giving his hand a light squeeze. I got out the car walking towards Justin. I intertwined our fingers as he walked through the doors of the apartment building. Justin opened the door and we were instantly attacked by the smell of marijuana and liquor. We walked down hallway to a room that was quarter by two large men. Justin nodded to them and they opened the door.

We made it to a room where a man with short curly hair, dark fair skin, light brown eyes, was sitting at a desk. He stared at Justin then at mine and Justin's fingers laced together. Justin sat me down in a chair and walked over to the man.

"Jaden." Justin said quietly, giving Jaden a soft nod. I picked at my nails staring at their body language towards each other. It friendly yet very cautious. Justin say down in front of Jaden and they hit down to business. I couldn't hear much but whispers and occasional loud words here and there. As they sorted business I looked behind me to see one of Jaden's bodyguards. He gave me a wink followed by him pervertedly licking his lips. I gave him a disgusted look and turned away. Unbelievable of how one look can simply make you feel violated.

I looked at Justin who was looking at me. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and he sighed. He shook his head at Jaden making him shrug.

"That's what I want." Jaden said standing up.

"You can go to hell." Justin hissed stepping closer to Jaden, which made his guards make a hesitant step towards Justin. Jaden waved them off chuckling.

"Minnie is it?" Jaden asked walking towards me. I nodded remembering Justin's instructions not to speak to anyone. "You can talk to him Minnie." Justin sighed putting his hand on his hip his other running through his bronze quiff in frustration.

"So what would you say to working for me?" Jaden asked playing with a strand of my hair. "W-What do you mean?" I asked softly my eyes widening. Jaden smirked grabbing my hand making me stand up. His eyes roamed my body making me feel weirded out.

"You're fit. Any man would desire a girl with a body like yours." Jaden bit his lip looking at my rear. Justin came up to us snatching my wrist away from Jaden pulling me behind his back.

"She's not some kind of trick you find on the fucking streets Jaden." Justin growled tightening his grip on me. I out my hand on his shoulder indicating that I was okay. But he was pissed off you could see it in his eyes. The hazel brown was gone an complete darkness covered his eyes.

"Who said she'd be working on the streets? She'd be mine. Want my help give her to me." Jaden laughed fixing the cuffs to his button down shirt with a smug smile. "You're disgusting. As if I would ever sell over her body for information. You obviously forgotten who the fuck I am!" Justin's voice started to raise. At this point the circulation in my damn wrist is getting cut off by Justin's tight grip on it.

"No Justin I didn't forget who you are. You've forgotten who you are. Challenging Selena for this girl.. A nobody.. Just a fuck bag to toss around. This isn't you.. Unless.. You've grown some attachment." Jaden's eyebrows raised with curiosity. I tried to get out of Justin's grip but he pulled me closer to him. I looked at him but his eye contact was glued on Jaden.

"Ah! So what is it? The sex? The way she looks? The way she cooks? Just to have her there?" Jaden laughed but Justin hasn't even flinched. He just had the same pissed off expression.

"It's none of those.. Jaden you wouldn't know anything. Cause you don't have a heart. You're heartless. You don't know anything. And you won't ever. So here's the thing.. You can take your information and shove it up your ass. Cause none of those nor anything in this goddamn world will ever and I mean ever make me give up this girl." Justin said squinting his eyes slightly. He pulled me towards the exit. What Justin just said kept playing in my head. So he does have feelings for me.

We got in the car and Justin started down the rode squeezing the steering wheel his jawline hard. I rubbed my wrist. "Now what?" I asked looking at him. "Now... You need to sleep. I'll figure out what to do tomorrow." He sighed pulling up to my apartment building. I sat there looking down. He rubbing his face scratching his jaw.

"Thank you for defending me.." I muttered playing with the button on my shirt. "It was nothing short stack. Just go upstairs and sleep." He whispered placing his hand mine. I nodded getting out the car. We exchanged 'goodnight' and went our ways. I kicked off my shoes laying on my bed.

After everything I've been experiencing in the past three weeks that I've known Justin. He's different. And I know for a fact I like that he's different. But I can't quite wrap my finger around what's happening between us.

Are we friends or more?
