THE GUARDIANS

where the hell have you been

CHAPTER 21

We drove for a while before he pulled up to a bikers bar that looked scary has shit. I really didn't want to be here but my thirst for answers pushed away my fear, plus if any one tried anything I have powers that could put them out flat in a second.

Parking my car near his bike I saw a few men smoking outside the door with women who were definitely prostitutes or dressed like one salute Nicholai has he came down from his bike.

Getting out the car my phone rang and I looked at it to see my mum calling me, probably worried but I cut the call has I walked over to Nicholai side ignoring the wolf whistles and leers directed at me.

Has I came to his side Nicholai removed his jacket and tied it to my waist covering my high waist shots and pulled me into his arms and I felt safe and protected has he directed us into the bar ignoring the hoots and cheers from the men. entering the bar it smelt like beer, sweaty men, and cigarettes but I paid no mind, he greeted a man behind the bar who was cleaning a glass cup and seemed in need of some serious shaving considering the beard he was spotting, he had a big protruded stomach, pale skin and also seemed in need of a serious bath or maybe its the smell of this place.

I ignored the leering stares of a few men who seemed in the same condition has the man behind the bar only drunker, enjoying myself tucked in Nicholai arms I snuggled deeper into him inhaling his scent and he chuckled lowly probably at me clinging to him while sniffing his body but I could have cared less in that moment, because he smelt of strawberries, fresh water and roses. Why the hell are they all smelling like that and how the hell I could tell the difference. He directed me to a door leading towards a small hall that hard many doors on each side.

He stopped in front of one of the doors at the ending of the hall way and unlocked it with a key before opening and leading me inside. It was a bit dark in here and that's when I registered I followed a complete stranger into a bar with gross men and right into an empty dark room but before my fear could grow he switch on the lights and I was shocked by what I saw in front of me.

"welcome to my humble abode." he said has I moved further into the small room going straight to the kitchen well am guessing since I can see some plates, cups, oven, and a gas cooker with the fridge in one comer while in the left side there was a couch and a wooden table, a flat screen tv mounted on the wall with play stations, an electric guitar with speakers and a shelf with an assortment of books in the corner.

There were two doors facing each other which I could see from where I was standing and am guessing they lead to his bathroom and bedroom.

Even though the place was small it looked well furnished with and decorated, everything from what I could see and tell from the little I know about electronics and furniture were expensive which is kind of confusing me has to why the heck he is staying in a neighborhood like this.

"do you want beer?" he said bringing me out of my thoughts and I faced him mumbling a yes. He nodded then pulled two beers from the fridge and pulled me over to the couch and we sat down has I collected one from his hand.

"why the hell are you living in a place like this?" its clear you could afford better. He chuckled sipping his bear and leaned back on the couch and I followed suit sipping my beer also.

He shrugged nonchalantly I "guess I like the neighborhood." I shook my heard at his answer and dropped the topic knowing I would go nowhere if I continue to question him.

"so who sent you to protect me?"I asked and he smirked has he looked at me his eyes darkening.

Someone of importance and who regards you has very important to him. I shiver fearing the look in his eyes but ignored the warning bells in my head.
