My eyes feel so heavy I can't even open them. I feel something jump on the bed and start licking my face.
"Apollo, stop"
"Apollo, I swear."
I finally get the strength to open my eyes. I go to push Apollo when I realize I'm not in my room and that dog is not Apollo. Holy shit where am I?
I get out of bed and try to remember what happened last night then it hit me. The guy at the park, he was outside the bar. He was so handsome and tall and...He told me I wasn't special. I must have blacked out. Holy shit did he kidnap me? I still have my clothes on so nothing happened. I walk down the hallway and follow the sound of music. I peak into the kitchen to see the guy from yesterday. He was only wearing sweatpants and he was singing along to the song.
"Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that..." he turns around and freezes.
"How much of that did you see?" He asked traumatized
"Is the big tough guy scared that I saw his dancing." I laugh
"What ever did you sleep ok." He says. He looks down. He was just so happy, what happened?
"Yeah I did.Thank you for letting me stay here." We stood there in silence.
"Prin... what is your name." He finally looks up at me and I can see that he's hurt, but I don't know why.
"My name is Genevieve. I go by Gen. You never told me yours ether."
"Maddox. I'm sorry for what I said last night. It was rude and I shouldn't have said that."
   "It's ok. I was the one who went off on you. I guess we are both at a fault."
He laughs and I can't help but smile. Even his laugh is perfect. He turns around and grabs a beer from the fridge.
   "Beer for breakfast?" I ask
   "Why yes. Very nutritional beverage you know." He says in a fake British accent. As we start laughing again there is banging at from what I assume is the door.
   "Shit,"He says "you need to hide." He pushes me into a near by closet. What in the world is going on. Is it his girlfriend. Why does he sound scared? I hear the door open and male voices.
Maddox POV
I pushed Gen into the closet. I can't let them see her. She can't be dragged in this. I grab my gun from behind my couch and head to the door. I look in the peephole to see three guys who I recognize easily. I open the door and they all look up simultaneously.
   "Maddox, long time no see how have you been." The biggest man said. The men walk passed me into my living room.
   "I'm good Razor. What are you and the boys doing here."
   "I got a job for you kid. I need you to take care of someone. Not kill him just scare him. Nothing you've never done before." He says with a grin.
"Yeah sure Im in. Can we meet this week to go over details." I say with confidence. I've been in this business for a long time. I know what is expected of me.
"Alright then we will contact you." With that all the men left and left me standing by myself. I'm freaking out. Not because I just got told to beat someone into pulp. I can do that with my eyes closed. I'm freaking out because the prettiest girl I have ever met is in my closet and just heard the whole transaction go down. She is a witness. She is now apart of this world.
