Dark Green

Chapter 8

POV Quinn.

"I told you to stay in the car" I tell Jared as we walk to the station.

The rain has stopped falling. The sound of the water hitting my shoes and Jared's sound underfoot. The boy walks beside me with hands in the pockets of his jeans.

" Anything's going to happen"

Sure it will happen, and I can feel the tension and we haven't come in yet. I push open the heavy door with all my body and enter the indoor followed by Jared. Marge is focused on the computer screen. It seems that her game of solitaire is more intense than she expected. I stand in front of her but she doesn't notice my presence. Jared is standing behind me without making a sound. I clear my throat in a gesture to get her attention and her eyes are focused on me. She looks at me through the glasses with a smile in her thin lips.

"Back in here, honey? What do you need now?" she asks me.

I take the brown carpet out of my bag and leave it on the table. I feel more relieved when i don't have the documents in my hands anymore.

"My father asked me to bring him this, I leave it here and go"

She gets up from her chair and looks at Jared behind me. She smiles slyly after analyzing the blond boy and I can't help but blush.

"Do not worry, he's with someone but it will just take a few minutes"

Just at the time I'm going to reply, a well dressed man leaves the hall where my father's office is. He botton up the only button of his gray jacket and directs his eyes to the woman behind the table. This blinks flirty when a seductive smile appears on his lips. Jared takes a step closer and stands right behind me. I turn my head with a frown and I can see the tension in Jared's face. When I look back at the man, he's watching at me with a lot of interest. The gleam in his blue eyes intrigues me and scares me.

"Jared" he greets.

A half smile appears on his lips before approaching us. Jared changes his position and stands next to me. He makes a feint to surround my waist with one arm but he drops it to one of his sides. I don't understand what is happening. This seems a struggle to see which one is more tough guy, I have the feeling I've experienced this before.

"Dan" he says back.

Dan? Who is Dan? I think i've never seen before. I don't know Jared's friends so how can i know this one?

"You're with such a beautiful girl, aren't you going to introduce us?"

The man is standing right in front of me. He is really attractive... What do these guys eat to be so handsome? I don't know how I run into many men in these last days, I think my luck is changing but not in a good way.

"Dan, Quinn  Quinn , Dann" he says, hastily .

His smile gets wider. I don't know whether to feel scared at the fact that this small gesture remembers me of Harry. Before we've time to say something else, my father appears in the same hallway and stops to watch the scene. His face changes from concern to anger in less than a couple of seconds. As always, this is getting better.

"What are you doing here?" he questions.

I can't tell if he's asking me or Jared. Anyway, by the tone of his voice, I should be worried. He repeats the gesture of lputting his hands on the belt to show his ​​dangerous weapon. I roll my eyes but I don't move from my site. I have to show him that I'm independent and I can be friends with whoever I want.

"I brought this" I reply taking the document from the tablie and hitting his chest with it.

My dad frowns and grabs the documents just as I withdraw my hand. I cross my arms over my chest and look attentive. Dan squints beside my father and watches the folder with more interest than he should.
