His Property

Ch. 7

Elijah.

That name kept circling my head in motion as if it were a tornado. Such a beautiful name yet it didn't seem to suit him.

My gaze never left his. He looked devastated. For some reason, when this guy had said his name, the first thing he had done was look at me as if expecting a reaction.

"Hey man you alright?" Who ever this guy was seemed to annoy Elijah. I could tell he was sending him deathly glares. However though, this guy didn't seem to give a flying fück.

I turned my attention back to the girls and they seemed just as confused as I was.

"Yeah I'm fine. Did you finally manage to take care of what I asked you to do?" I heard Elijah tell him.

Take care of what?

Alex leaned into mays ear and whispered something causing her to roll her eyes in annoyance and turned to jack.

"Oh Damon. I completely forgot. These are my new friends." Jack pointed to the three of us. I just simply smiled and he seemed to fake a smile.

"I'm Alex." Alex stood up from her seat and took her hand out for Damon to shake.

Surprisingly enough he shook her hand. His glare to Alex was intense for a second there I thought she would've died.

Before she sat down, may told us to go dance with her. What she wanted was to get away from them for a bit and let them solve whatever they needed to solve. It was pretty obvious they had a lot to talk about.

I followed them.

As we got closer to the dance floor, the smell of perfume and alcohol floated around and I cringed a bit in disgust. It was way to much.

"Well ladies I dont know about you guys but I really need to Dance after all that tension back there." I agreed. We definitely needed to loosen up. Whatever the guys had to talk about wasn't our concern at all.

I took a quick glance back to Elijah and his eyes met mine. It was obvious he had been staring soon. He just flashed a smile and I quickly turned around.

For some odd reason I felt my whole body heat up. That human being sure did have such a gorgeous smile.

Crying in the club by Camila cabello started playing and this was honestly a really good song. I heard it a couple times and liked it.

May started moving her hips to the slow yet keeping up with the beat. Alex danced along behind may grabbing her waist. Just girly things.

As much as I felt embarrassed to dance, the beat of the song got the best of me and before I knew it, I wasn't in control of my body and I started swaying my hips away.

A bunch of bodies soon engulfed all around us. I didnt mind. I felt really free in the moment. I used to dance all the time when I ft stressed out or mad. It was like my favorite thing to do. Me and the girls were a pro at this but soon stopped because each of us had time consuming work.

My butt was on Alex and we just laughed our asses off at our actions. The three of us kept moving not caring whether we were doing a good job or not. We bumped into other people but we were to busy having fun to even say sorry.

The song stopped and was immediately replaced by another one.

I felt sweaty but I didnt want to stop. Although my feet were saying otherwise.

Alex seemed to notice my exhaustion.

"You tired already?" She seemed a bit surprised. I dont ever get tired but these heels did really ruin the night.

"No. These heels are too tall and I can't dance well with them."

"Be a smart one and simply take them off." Alex wasn't wrong. I could just take them off but I didn't want to hold them and I couldn't risk leaving them unprotected. They were way to expensive.

"I can't just leave them around here. Do you know how much these cost??" Talking to her was always difficult yet she always found a problem to the solution. Always.

"Well why dont you go leave them off over there with your lover. He wouldn't mind." She gave me a wink and started dancing again with may.

"First of all he is not my lover." She didn't even listen to me.

It was no use staying here like a burden for the rest of the people who were actually dancing so I made my way back to where the guys were.

They all seemed very tensed up and lowered their voices when I was near.

"Don't worry guys I didn't come here to butt around on whatever you guys were discussing." I sat down and tried to take of my heels but remembered I didn't have anything under me besides my underwear and the dress I was wearing was very short.

"I came here to drop of my heels."

"It wasn't hard walking in them huh?" Elijah was looking at me with a satisfied smiled sitting on his face.

"Whatever. Just come help me take these off. Please?" I slowly raised one leg up making sure to use both hands and pull down my dress from revealing anything the naked eye could get.

Jack and Damon started talking once again about some files while Elijah started approaching me.

"You are sure having some fun out there. Nice moves." He bend down a bit in order to reach my legs and as soon as his fingertips made contact with my feet, I got this really weird feeling. A weird but good feeling.

"You were looking at me dancing? Hm I feel flattered." I tugged a loose strand of hair behind my ear and bit my lip while looking at Elijah get my heels off.

"Its hard not to notice honestly. You should give me some dancing lessons." He took the other heel off slowly and made eye contact with me.

My breathing got caught in my throat. I had seen his eyes but not up this close. They were truly beautiful.

"Well why dont you come and dance with me. I can show you right now." He grabbed both heels and placed them on the floor behind the stool.

"Let's do it then. I'm just saying, I really hope I dont step on your feet so be careful." He held out his hand for me to grab and with his help I got off of the stool.

My feet made contact with the cold tiled floor causing me to get goosebumps.

I told jack to take Care of my heels and he nodded.

I walked in front of Elijah and I heard him laugh.

"What's so funny?" I stopped and looked back at him. Turns out I was facing his chin so I had to look up.

"You are really short without your heels."

"I may be short compared to you but I at least manage to walk in and out the door without ducking down you giant." I slapped him hard and started walking again.

"ouch. And a bit feisty too." I just smiled and continued walking.

I would show him what feisty really means.
