As we walked into Aziz's building Parker runs up to us. "Aziz!" He says running.
"Yes?" Aziz asks sliding his hand down my back and resting it on my lower back.
"I've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?" Parker asks. We all get on the elevator and Aziz presses floor number 17.
"I had to take today off. Amberley had an appointment." He explained to Parker. I felt his thumb move circles around my back and I looked up to take a look at Parker. He has unkempt facial hair, along with his normal hair. His blue shirt is wrinkled and partly untucked while the last three buttons are unbuttoned. Why is he looking like this in a professional building? He looks terrible.
"We need to talk," Parker says before turning to me "it's about him" him? Who's him?
Aziz only nodded and once the elevator door opened we all got off and walked towards his office in silence.
"Angel, could you go in while we talk? It's a little important, it's about the business" Aziz told me once we reached his office. I only nodded respecting his wishes. I didn't want to intervene their conversation, who knows it could be about joining two businesses together.
I walked into his office and it was the same as before, except for the stacks of papers on his desk. Sometimes he has those because he's trying to figure out whether or not he should take a deal with another business or something big like that. I wonder what they are talking about? Who is that he guy?
I sit down in Aziz chair behind his desk and put my feet up. I giggle at the thought of me being the CEO of this business. "you! Go get me coffee!" I say pointing to nothing, pretending its someone.
"and you!" I point at another nothing pretending its a person. "go get me cinnamon rolls with pickles!"
"yes, ma'am" I hear somebody say. It made me jump in the seat and drop my feet. I look over at the door and see Aziz leaning on the doorframe with a smile on his face. "anything else Ms. CEO?"
I giggled and set my feet back on the desk. "yes, go get me those cinnamon rolls and pickles. Oh! And don't forget the hot cocoa" I tell him and place my hands behind my head.
"cocoa?" he asks pushing himself off the doorframe and walking over to me with his hands in his pockets. "I thought you said coffee?"
"coffee? What are you talking about? I didn't say coffee?" even though I tried to have a stern face on, I couldn't help the smile that peaked though. I knew I was lying but how would he know? Right?
"Well, see, are out of cocoa," he says leaning up against the desk right next to me. "how about a hot cup of...." he starts while tapping his chin. "kisses?"
I nodded my head eagerly. I loved his kisses. I mean who wouldn't? He's by far the best kisser ever!
Aziz leaned forward and lightly placed a kiss on my lips. It was as light as a feather, I almost didn't feel it. But as quickly as it came it went away. No! Don't pull away kiss me more! I hear him chuckle before taking one of my hands and pulling me up from the chair. Well then.
He takes a stack of papers on his desk and then takes my hand. He kisses my forehead before we walk out of his office. I peek down at the papers and I see the word DEM and under it, it says HUNT, but the rest of the words are covered up with other papers. I wonder what it could be?
When we got to the first floor to walk out of the building, I see my father. Why is he here? He's standing at the front desk asking the old lady something. You can tell he's angry, he's leaning forward and pointing a finger in her face.
I tried to hide my face by hiding behind Aziz, but of course, he sees me. "AMBERLEY!" he yells while walking over to me. I feel Aziz's arm go around to protect me from him.
"stay away from her" Aziz tells him in a calm voice.
"give me my daughter back!" my father tells Aziz pointing a finger at him.
"I'm sorry I cannot do that," Aziz says bring me around to the front of him as we walk towards the door. He keeps me shielded from my father and I couldn't be even more grateful for that.
Before we could reach the glass doors Aziz's arms are ripped away from me. I turn around to see Aziz on the ground but getting up.
Aziz stands up and throws a punch at my father's nose. That could leave a big mark, especially with the amount of blood dripping from his nose from just one punch.
"You took my daughter," my father says to Aziz.
"she ran away from you," Aziz says in a matter-of-fact tone. "and all you did was sell her to men to have sex. You sat back, drank, and pretended nothing happened as the money came rolling in. So don't call her your daughter when you treated her like a prostitute instead of a human being."
My father tried to throw a punch at aziz, but Aziz catches it in his hand. How? You only see that in movies, but that's fake, you can't do that. Can you?
Aziz twists his hand so much that my father does a full turn around his arm. Okay, that is not possible. What is going on?
"you.." my father starts through his breath. "you're one of them"
"amberley, go to the car," Aziz tells me as he throws the keys to me. I catch them but I see my father run to me. No!
I quickly run out of the building and towards Aziz's car. I hear Aziz yell something as I fiddle with the keys trying to get the key into the keyhole. Once I did I was grabbed by my waist. I started to scream and thrash around as I'm being carried back into the building. Why is my father bring me back in here?
I started scratching at his arms and anywhere I could see his skin. I couldn't let him take me away. He pushed me through the doors of the building and all I saw was blood drips on the floor from my father.
"Aziz! Aziz! Help! Aziz!" I screamed still scratching at his hands.
"where the hell is he?" I hear my father curse under his breath.
All in the split second I feel myself being pulled away by something else, my father being thrown and a chair flew towards him. But here's the catch, I see nobody. What the hell is going on here?
I see my father flinching and moving in weird angles as if he's being kicked and punched and being beat up. I crawl backward till my back touches the front desk and watch the scene unfold. Where's Aziz?
After god knows how long I watch as nothing becomes Aziz. What the...
Aziz walks towards me but I could see that it wasn't Aziz. Everything about him was there except for the eyes. Those black eyes.
"let's go," Aziz said angerly. I pushed myself more towards the desk, afraid of Aziz. Never in my wildest of dreams would I see this happen. I shook my head no while my breathing became shallow. I don't know who to trust anymore.
"Amberley," Aziz says in a strict tone. "get your ass up, we are leaving."
I flinch at the last part and I hug my knees. I could feel my eyes tearing up and my throat closing from the everything that happened. My breathing is becoming very shallow and I watch as Aziz's eyes go from black to his normal silver color.
I watch as he runs towards me as the world starts to turn on its side. Why is this happening?
Right before Aziz could reach me the world goes black.
