Avoid

Chapter 14

I was really busting and I'd broken the seal, I kept needing a wee. Just when I came out of the little girls room the same wall of muscle from earlier grabbed my wrist pulling me to him.
"Look I'm sorry, like I said I'm not interested."
  "I don't take no for an answer little lady." He said in his croaky voice.
    I felt dread take over my body, I'm going to be sick! I shook my head. I tried to pull away but he was too strong. No one was even paying attention to him man handling me.
"You've had too much to drink babe." He said acting like my boyfriend or something.

God I could feel sick rising higher in my throat I swallowed it back down. He pushed open a fire exit door and shoved me against the wall outside. I was shaking with fear.
"Please don't touch me!" I begged as I held my hands up trembling.
"I'm going to fuck you and you'll enjoy it, you teasing bitch in that dress."
He started pulling a strap down on my dress then started to pull my dress up but I tried to hold it down tightly so it tore.

The fire door flew open smacking against the brick wall.
"PLEASE NOOO!! I don't want to. Stop touching me..." I begged, my whole body shaking.

"Get the fuck away from her. NOW!"
Mateo's voice boomed out in a deadly tone.
God was I grateful to hear his voice.
"Fuck off and mind your own business." The creep spitted next to me.
The man continued to try pull my pants down. Mateo grabbed him by the neck pulling him away from me. Then his fist connected with his nose with a loud crack busting his nose. Mateo then dived towards him taking him down. They were both rolling on the floor. He continued hitting him.
I was frozen scared stiff.
Danny and Tom ran out seeing Mateo scrapping. They pulled them apart.
"That fucker was going to rape her." Mateo glared he was raging with a murderous look on his face.  Then tried to go for him again but they pulled him back.
"Serious Teo?" Danny asked.
His jaw tense, he nodded.
Then I was even more shocked when Danny turned and smacked him in the face too.

Lisa ran towards me.. "Oh my god Lacey are you alright? When I couldn't find you upstairs I asked if anyone had seen you. We all went looking for you." She hugged me tightly.
I just stood frozen.

"She's in shock. We need to get her home." Danny said.
"I'll take her." Mateo said scooping me up into his arms. I laid my head on his broad shoulder. He smelt good and this comforted me a little. I felt safe.
"Maybe I should come back." She sounded worried.
"Lisa I'll get her home safe and keep an eye on her, I promise. No point us all crowding her. Just don't go about on your own stay with Danny. I mean it."

They called us a taxi.
I must have fallen asleep during the drive because when I woke up I was leaning on Mateo and had dribbled on his shirt. A big wet patch.
"Ooh, I'm sorry." My voice barely audible.
He chuckled and shrugged, "You can wash it for me at some point."

We got out the taxi, he asked if I could walk. I could but it was just my shoes were hurting me. I complained so he bent down in front of me. He was like a gift from the heavens kneeling down in front of me, unstrapping my heels. He carried them for me. On the way to our room my ankle nearly gave way, so he wrapped an arm around my waist catching me to support me. I was secretly revelling from his touch he made me forget about how scared I was not so long ago from all that had happened.
We finally got to our dorm. He plonked my heels down in a mess near the door. He must of seen my disapproving look.
"I'll put them where I want."
I chuckled and plonked myself down on the sofa. He put the tv on, then started unbuttoning his shirt. It was like a strip tease. His defined chest and abs sent my mind wild, I licked my lips imaging myself ever getting to kiss him everywhere over his delicious body.

He hung his shirt over the chair, sighing.
"Lacey. Your doing it again." He said in his raspy voice rubbing the back of his neck.
Wow for the first time he said my name, and it sounded good rolling off his sexy lips.
I flashed him my best smile.
"You said my name."
His eyes looked down at the ground, he looked like he'd been caught off guard. He couldn't hide his smile it tugged at the sides.
"Yeah. Your probably hearing things." He joked.
I slowly moved my head from left to right.
"Nope. I'm pretty sure you did." I grinned at him.

He bit his lip, he looked nervous for once.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Hmm. Okay if you say so. Can I pick what to put on?" Trying to change the subject.
"No."
"Yes. Pass me the control." I whined, pouting.
"Your never going to be in control." He laughed.
I got up to grab it from him, then ran with it.
He chased after me around the sofa.
I was walking backwards and tripped on the soft rug. Just as he'd grabbed me we both fell onto it. Rolling over fighting for it. He'd prised it out of my hand, and had a tight grip on it. Before I could even think what I was doing, he was laid on his back and I had somehow ended up straddled on top of him.
We were laughing hard. When he started to lower the control from above his head, our eyes had locked.
Now I was sure I could definitely see lust and desire in his eyes, but most intriguingly a look of wonder. He licked his lips in the hot way he does as he sticks his tongue out and those lips rolled over it.
He put his arm around my back keeping me in place as he sat up, took my wrists and put them round his neck. Then leaned back on his hands looking at me with want.
I felt brave from the alcohol my fingers ran through his hair at the back.
He closed his eyes briefly, and made a deep noise of appreciation. One of his arms wrapped around my waist bringing me closer.
"If you want to kiss me. Kiss me."
I want much more than that, but your so experienced and I'm not.. that's what I wanted to tell him. He'd probably laugh at me.

We both leaned in, his lips brushed over mine.
"That lipstick really suits you." His hot breath on my lips made all my muscles clench.
Then we slowly started to kiss, testing each other giving each other time to pull away, but we didn't, he slowly introduced his tongue teasing mine to join in. I felt lost, like he'd ignited something in me I never wanted to die out. His lips were soft and delicious.
I felt a heavy ache down low.
"Thank you, by the way." I said in-between kisses breathlessly.
He pulled back a little looking confused "What for?"
"For saving me from that guy at the club."
His whole body tensed. He let out a deep breath.
"You should of never been left on your own in the first place."
Now he sounded pisssed, back was Mr Moody. He shifted lifting me on to the sofa. I missed and craved his touch already. I should of kept my mouth closed.
"He could have..." His voice trailed off.
I could see anger in his eyes, as much as I didn't like to see him like that, it made me glad he cared. He brushed his hand down his face.
"But he didn't though because you stopped him."
He turned his muscular back to me.
"Yeah Lacey. Look if you come out again, all I'm saying is don't and I mean don't go off on your own no matter what."
"Okay, I won't."
A minute past before he spoke...
"You should go to bed."
The sting of rejection, it felt like now he didn't want me near him.

I walked off silently embarrassed by is dismissal.
