"What will it take for me to be the only thing on your mind?" He asked, tentatively pacing... slowly, dominantly up to me with a face full of unrecognizable emotion and his eyes deeply concentrating on mine.
Not much, I thou...

"Mr Pierce, please tell us who is this lovely lady with you right now? Did you come to bail her because you were alone when you entered." Some guy shouted as he tried to grab Felix's attention. He kept pushing people out the way as the cameramen kept following us.
"Are you in a relationship with her?" Another guy yelled, "Im sure a lot of men would want her" he added almost as if to provoke Felix to answer him, but he didn't. We got to his car and he opened my door and went to his.
"Sir , there is a rumour that you were just attacked recently by intruders at your home. Anything to share?" A lady asked just before he put the car's engine on and we drove away. We were nearing his house so I thought I had to say something.
"I'm very thankful for what you did for me. I'm sorry it caused a lot of problems though" I said softly. He sighed and swiftly turned to the left before driving into the driveway of his house. He wasn't speaking though. He just kept quiet which made me feel worse.
"Please say something, anything. Shout at me if you want to" I said again facing him with a pleading look on my face. I knew he had a big reputation, not only because of his lifestyle or his type of work but because of the paparazzi that kept asking him questions. Had he been a regular man, they wouldnt have cared but they did.
"Shhhh" he whispered and i sighed. He was angry and i should listen to him. He was lucky though cause had it been under any normal circumstances, I would have gone ballistic at his attitude and him shushing me. I stepped out of the car and followed him into the house.
We both walked upstairs and since I thought i was going to have to leave and go to my room, I turned but he grabbed my wrist, pulling me with him. He took me to an office, I suppose. It was really big and well furnished . It had a television, on the other side and a desk and chair upon entering it.
There were some pictures like the Mona Lisa , on his wall which shocked me cause I didn't think he would like that kind of art. He closed the door and stared at me with an unknown rage in his eyes.
"Why did you call the police ?" He asked simply and i squinted my eyes, staring at him with the most confused look ever. "What do you mean?" I asked. He sighed and closed his eyes.
"Why?" He stated much more forcefully than before.
"I thought there was an intrusion and we needed backup. Was I not supposed to call them?" I raked my eyes over his face , looking for any type of emotion, since within a second he had become a brick wall.....unreadable.
"I could handle it! I don't have guards working 24/7 just for you to call the police for such a minor issue! I'm in an excrutiatingly tight position now. I am all over the news as well. Why do you have to be so adamant! " he whisper shouted.
I heard everything but blocked most of it out,My head went all dizzy and i felt my throat dry up. My hands became so sweaty and my forehead became a sprinkler of sweat. My vision was blurry from both the lecture.
Why was he so angry? I mean, i should be used to him shouting, but now it seemed somewhat different, more personal for one.
"A reputation so fragile, now in turmoil. I wish you would have left it to me and...my men. I'm not as unefficient as you'd like to believe you know. Your protection was my first priority"
The tone of an enraged individual, ready to thrust knives into my soul for doing what i thought was right, what i thought was being helpful. I hadn't even realised that he had continued speaking because of all the stress I was feeling until his fingers snapped in front of my eyes a couple times. I jumped back, breathing heavily.
He tried to reach for my hand but i moved away from him. I couldn't help do anything right i suppose...not in his eyes at least.
