I'll Never Let You Die

4 - Introductions

I felt a hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes. Staring back at me were the most  beautiful forest greens. I looked back to where the other man was but the hand on my shoulder moved to cover my eyes. 

"Let go of me please" I begged not ready to be held at gun point again. 

He simply let go and then handed me a tiny booklet. I opened it and there was a picture of him. God damn this man was beautiful. I then noticed it had his name. 

Augustus Denali.  

This legit was the cherry on top. I have to give props to whoever named him because it just added to his hotness. 

UMMMM?? You don't know this man at all or his intentions and you're already drooling??? Inner me questioned. 

Below his name it read: Executive Protection. What was that? 

I look back up to him confusion evident in my face. He outstretches his hand as if wanting me to take it. 

I do it. There was something about him that made me think we weren't in danger anymore. Although he shot the creep and his voice was rough he was being gentle. 

He takes me out of the cafe and into an all black Lamborghini parked at the entrance of Cafe Pari. He opened my door and I got in. This car was stunning. The interior was smooth and blacked out with tiny traces of silver here and there. I have always wanted to get one but I end up deciding against it and investing that money into a charity for abused women. 

He gets in and the engine revs to life. He drives off to our unknown destination. I couldn't help but study him. His strong hands gripping the wheel. His hardcore concentration on driving. His beautiful curls that, to be honest, look even healthier than my wavy hair. As if he felt my eyes on him he looked at me through the corner of his eye causing me to quickly turn away. A blush crept up my neck and into my cheeks. 

I forced myself not look at this man anymore out of embarrassment and focused on the New York buildings. They pass by swiftly. Eventually we make it to a sky-rise building. It was gorgeous as well. 

Augustus comes around to my door and opens it for me after checking the surroundings. He extends his hand in order to help me out. 

We walk inside and I was blown away by the elegancy of everything. The carpets were a deep maroon, the walls were marble-like gold and the entrance  desk was made of clear glass. People were rushing around in tuxes,  tight dresses, and even training suits. 

Augustus exchanged looks with the receptionist and she simply nods pressing a button on the phone. We continue to walk and take the elevator to the forth floor. He then leads me to an office at the end of the hall that opens with two French doors. 

Inside there was a man that was about forty years old. He looked up as soon as we entered and smiled. 

"Ah my dear. My name is John Carandas and I'm chief of Executive Protection. I'm sure you have a lot of questions and we have a lot to discuss. Please take a seat" I listened and looked back to Augustus asking him if this was okay. He nodded and I sat in the clear glass chair. "Augustus why don't you go ahead and take a lunch break. Be back at 4pm to resume your position" He simply nodded again and exited closing the two doors. 

"What is all this?" I asked him. 

"We are a protection agency aligned with the federal government. The police tells us you have been consistently reporting threats made against you for the past year and contacted us." 

"But I haven't been reporting any other incident except for today at the Cafe" I stated confused. 

"I assume it was your secretary, Jenny Burling?"
