BIG things in a SMALL world #wattys2017

Little man runs off as we all slowly turn around and find 4 large and very angry men with their arms folded staring at us.

None of us speak, the air is full of so much tension

"Ladies" Michael speaks first

I hear Lucy sigh as she grabs her bag and walks towards Phillip. Soon after each girl follows suit and they leave, of course Michael glares at me before he drags Michelle out leaving just me and William.

I look at him and he doesn't move, he lifts his eyebrow expecting me to follow but I just swirl my chair around and face the window

I see his figure coming closer in the windows reflection, I feel his energy right behind me

"Annabell"

"William"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm enjoying the view"

I feel his hand on my hip, sparks ignite and turns me towards him. I am inches away from touching his nose with mine.

"This is the second time this has happened in a week"

"I had four okay! See I counted"

He scowls at me

"Oh and how many more would you've had until you couldn't count anymore?"

I suddenly get very angry

"I probably would've kept going until I fell off this dang chair okay. You might be the boss of me inside the office but outside, no one is this boss of me! Not even Michael!" I shout at him

He just stands there twitching his eyes at me

Then he grabs me roughly and drags me to his car yet again

"No! I don't want to go anywhere with you" I try shaking out of his hold

"It is useless to fight me Anna just get in the car before I put you there myself"

"No!"

"Anna don't test my patience, I am taking you back to your apartment. Michael is waiting for you"

"Well I don't want to see him!" Crossing my arms over my chest

"Fine, you asked for it"

He slowly approaches me, I take a step back, his eyes piercing into mine. He grabs my hips and crashes my body against his, I feel his warm breath fan my face as he looks down at me. Inching closer ever so slowly until his lips are half an inch away from mine

"Get. In. The. Car" he whispers

I finally obey his stupid demand and get in his stupid car

*

We arrive at Michaels apartment and William escorts me up. Once Michael opens the door William bids farewell. I walk in and head towards my room when Michaels voice stops me

"Where do you think your going?"

"To my room!" I snap

"No so fast young lady, get here now"

I slowly walk to where he's standing as I hug myself

"How many times do I have to remind you that you need to tell me where you are going? How can I protect you if I don't know where you are? You are lucky that both times we happened to be in the same place at the same time!"

Tears spring in to my eyes

"If we weren't there who knows what that guy would've done huh! New York is most dangerous at night that's why I need to know where you are"

After minutes of silence he speaks again

"Maybe it was a mistake you coming here"

"I'm sorry" I whisper

"Yeah well. I need to think about this" he grabs his keys and walks out the door slamming it.

I run upstairs and lock myself in my room.
