The air hit my face instantly. The cold made my nose start to run, but anything was better then being in there. I needed to get home, to my own space. What about work and my apartment? I really couldn't be here I couldn't afford to lose my job. The door closed behind me and I jumped a little as the Loud sound echoed around me.

"Why are you out here? It's cold, come inside." Neiko said putting his hand out for me to take.

I shook my head "I'm good out here. I think I'll stay."

"No." he said monotone. His voice just got angrier as he continued "We are eating now come in. We eat together or not at all."

"Well I'm good. So go inside, with all your people."

Neiko moved closer to me, and pulled me to him.

"Annamira, why are you acting like that."

"Like what Neikolas. Like fucking what." I said rolling my eyes at him

"Is this about before. About that girl, because if it is, it's not what you saw."

"I don't care it's not my business."

His face fell a little at my comment,but it was the truth. I shouldn't even be here I hardly know these people.

"Please just come in. You can take your food to your room if you like. I won't make you stay down here if it really bothers you that much." He said turning away from me to go back inside.

Still I stood there. I honestly have no desire to go back in there. I just want to go home back to everything I know. Not in some unknown crazy big house full of men I don't know. They still haven't told me why I'm here.

The time seemed to fly by as I sat there on the stairs leading to the door. It was peaceful out here by myself. But the dark rolled in quickly, and an unknown car pulled up.
Trevor stepped out and tilled his head to the side as he looked at me. He grabbed a case from the seat and walked towards me. 

"Why are you out here. You're crazy it's freezing, come on inside."

"I'm fine out here. Thanks."

"Annamira, lets go I'm not leaving you out here. Neiko called me hours ago, and here you still sit. I thought he would come get you. Guess not." He said irradiation laced in his voice. "Can you just come inside. I don't want to be worrying about you when I take my son to eat." Trevor finished and held is hand out to me.

Not wanting to make him angry, I did as told. I followed him into the house and made my way to my room.

*Neikos POV*

"Neikolas get in here." Trevor yelled

I stood from the table and excused myself. I quickly walked to him hoping there was no problems with the pick up.

I walked into my office, Trevor was definitely mad. About what, I have no idea.

"Why did you leave her out there!"
He said shaking his head at me.

"I tried she wouldn't come in."

"Obviously you didn't try hard enough or did something wrong because she came in for me."
He said walking out.

I guess I had hurt her but I hadn't even done anything wrong. I tried explaining that,she wouldn't listen to me.

I walked upstairs to her room. I knocked softly. I heard Mira's low voice say come in.

"I brought you something to eat." I said placing the chips down next to her on the bed.
"Thanks, where's Trevor I need to talk to him."

"He left with Keegan. Is there something I can do for you?"

"Nope...Actually you can leave."
She hissed at me anger spilling off her.

"Annamira, please just let me explain."

"There is nothing to explain. Now go back to whoever that whore was. Okay?okay!"

I couldn't help but smile at her. She was jealous of a women who meant nothing to me, who forces herself on me every chance she gets.

"Why the fuck are you smiling ass hole." Mira said getting angrier with me.

"Mira that women is nothing to me. I don't want her. It's more the other way around. I swear Annamira what you saw was nothing. She came in the room minutes before you. She forced herself on me as you walked in. She has a man in this house though, that's the only reason she is still her. Not because I want her."
I moved closer to her and moved her face till she was looking at me. Her cheeks were stained in tears and all I wanted to do was comfort her.
"She'll never be you. Never as beautiful as you or as kind as you or caring. I'll never want her like I want you."

She quickly pushed herself away from me.

"You don't even now me."

I sighed knowing she'll never understand. Not until she knows the truth, But it wasn't time yet.

I moved closer to her small body and pulled her onto my lap. I wasn't leaving her here like this. Not when it was my fault, not ever.

I held her to me as she quited down. Soon enough she fell asleep in my arms.
Her head on my shoulder, arms and legs wrapped around me. That was perfectly fine with me as long as she wasn't upset and crying I didn't care. I could sit like this all night and just hold her. For years I looked over her from a distance and it was the worst pain I've felt. From the day I met her I new I had to have little Annamira. I was never supposed to fall for her. But just as Trevor had with her sister, I fell hard and fast. She had never even known, she had become my obsession. I kept my distance but I still watched over her, made sure she was safe. I kept her away from anyone that could hurt her. She became my whole life. Business, my family, and Annamira were all that mattered to me. After her sisters death I made sure someone always had eyes on her, where ever she went. I promised to keep her safe and that's all I planed to do.
