Little Angel and Big Bad King

2. Save Me

Eleanor mind occupied with accident three days ago, its just out of her mind that Xavier King took interest on plain her.

She knows where she's came from, her mother used to tell the story about her family, how she can come here, leaving her perfectly nice and humble family behind in southeast Asia country to chase her dream.

But luck is not on her mother side, having her is surely surprise but her mother always said that she was the reason she survive, her only hope for keep living, despite their disadvantages, also her mother that has to face cancer and died because of it.

Eleanor keep thinking the one that disturbs her though is when her alarm start ringing and she curse silently that she just waste 5 hours of her sleep time for something useless. Thinking about the past.

• • •

Her day was exhausted, her lack of sleep and ten hours shift is start doing her body funny.

She walk lazily to her apartment, hoping that her body can move faster but she didn't think her body is aware about how dangerous go home in this pace.

When she heard something rustle from her behind, its like slap in the face to her body, out of nowhere she run fast toward her apartment, she heard curse behind and heard pounding steps.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. You die bitch, officially die, the fuck you thinking about strolling around in this fuck up city.

You either die or die, no other choice.

When she heard that the footstep become far, she didn't stop, because that's what they told you about danger in this city, you curious you die, you nice you die, everything lead you to death, you just have to be creative enough to avoid it.

When Eleanor think that she'll able to avoid death, the stinking man, slam his body onto her so they sandwiched on nasty wall of old building.

"You bitch think you can avoid me" he started claw her neck but before it drawn blood, she felt the pressure take away from her, her breath laboured, she praying to every gods out there to save her.

When she about to scream the pressure on her body seems to lift off, her closed eyes is open seeing the stinky man being punching bag, when a reality hit her, she stand up and run without looking back, once she's in her apartment building she not so dumb to use lift and use stairs, she never slow her pace until she have to open her door, put her code and turn off the electric safety and come in.

She put every lock that attach to her door. Put her head on the door, "what the fuck Elle, what th--"

"Stop cursing young lady." The voice startled her, she look at the source and see Xavier King sitting on her couch like a freaking king himself.

"Wha-- how.." Her brain?! Where that useless thing when she needed the most.

"That i can come in? Easy, and smart i applause you for choosing this building" she know, she have to, when Eleanor said that you have to be creative for living in this 'lovely' city, she meant it, thats why she choose to live in one of many Xavier property, and work indirectly for him, at least people would think twice about harming 'something' that belong to Xavier.

"What do you want?" She ask cautiously, she never leave her sight on him.

He sigh and stand. "Well now you have to follow me first" he walk to her, her already stiff body move closer to her front door.

"Don't be afraid babe, you know my bite is harmless, you already know that" he smirk walk closer.

Xavier look at this girl in front of him, she close her eyes and muttering that this is not real, that the asshole not really in her house, 'cute' he thought.

He take her wrist pulling her closer to him, he almost groan when her front meet his.

"Relax baby, I'm not going to hurt you. Yet" he put tiny kisses on her cheek to her small lips that she's hide inside her mouth.

"Please.." She said, but her pleading is cut when his rough lips meet her soft and pinkish lips, she moan softly, Xavier almost didn't heard it but being who he is, he is to sensitive to every small sound or movement.

Catching both of her hand in one hand behind her back, keeping it cage and another hand caress her soft neck.

He pull himself from her. "Come" he said hard, he take one her hand and pull her to her bathroom.

"Wait wait, why bathroom.." she try to resist but his strength is unmatched to her.

He take off his jacket and then unbutton his black shirt, Eleanor notice so many scars on his body can only silence and then she notice a new wound the blood seems to already dried but the wound is not tended.

Xavier lean on by the sink and then knock on emergency kit twice, signaling her to tend his wound.

Eleanor reach to the box unsure, "why you didn't treat it right away?" She open the box and take out stuff that she needed.

Xavier didn't answer her question just continue looking at her, he observe her closely.

He know what happen to that scum, the one that touch her just before, he can clearly see his mark on her slender wrist.

She look frightened when she hurriedly lock her door, and more alarmed when she heard his voice but calmed down when she know it was him. He's questioning that behaviour, Why is she so calm when she noticed the one that trespass into her apartment is him.

Her move is delicate, not once she look at his face, her brows is creasing when she noticed that the wound is quite deep.

"It needs stitches" she said, try carefully not make many movement.

"Then do it" she froze and then look at him.

"I can't.." she move her hands away from his wound, before her hands get far he catch it.

"Do. It." His voice is not something that you can argue.

"What if I hurt you more?" She's not trying to let go off his hold, she genuinely concern about it, and Xavier feel anger build up.

"You're not going to hurt me" he said roughly, "I've been in much more worse condition than this, just do it I know you can" he pull her closer so she stand between his legs.

She look unsure, but then she's getting the stuff to do it.

•••

She tidy up her bathroom, his wound now bandage neatly and he look at her silently, when she finished, he take her hand and move to the little sofa in her living area.

Plop himself down and pull her into his embrace.

Eleanor scared that it'll disturbs his wound, but decided not to move also cause she doesn't want to stress him up.

"I kill that scum" he said buried his face into her neck, her long hair that been in the bun is now free, framing her face.

"I know" her answer make him hold her tighter.

"He deserved it" he said, breath in her scent.

She caress his hair softly, "He is" she murmured.
