don't think so.... I will remain with my own choices thank you,” I said making my full feelings known.
“That's not an option anymore,” he said moving away as if this was the end but to hell it was!
“Draven, I think you’re forgetting that you’re not my father, my brother, most certainly not a lover and well not even a friend, so I think it’s best if you get a clearer definition of the word BOSS!” I shouted as I was about to leave but before I had chance to open the door he was behind me holding it closed with his hand in front of me. This again brought back memories of that night adding to my anger.
“You don't intimidate me!” I said holding my voice steady which only worked because I didn't look at him. He leaned closer to the back of my ear and blew his scent around me like a cloud of doubt in my words.
“I think we both know I’m more than any of those things,” he whispered and my senses agreed with every word. But I shook it off and said looking back,
“I don't think your wife-to-be would be very happy about that!” And he hit the door with his fist before moving away. I felt the wood shudder next to me.
“Celina has nothing to do with this.”
“What just like Jack's girlfriend had nothing to do with it!” I said regretting it as soon as it was out. He turned around to look at me with the anger back, burning me with his glare.
“Oh, what has your charming little knight been saying this time?”
“He told me how you stole his girlfriend from him,” I said and he let out a callous laugh.
“And you believed him of course! So what, he is scared it will happen again I suppose... by me taking you away from him? Parásitos!” He shouted getting more irate.
“Don't call him that!” I said knowing it to be the Spanish word vermin. He turned around in shock so I said,
“I speak Spanish!” I said with satisfaction but he just rolled his eyes.
“Anyway, he's my friend and I am going to come here with him again whether you like it or not!” But this was like lighting dynamite as he nearly exploded with rage.
“YOU WILL NOT!” He said with burning fury, but I didn't back down.
“You’re saying that I can't bring him in the club?”
“I'm saying that boy is never to set foot in my club again and that is final!” He said folding his arms across his wide chest, once again straining the material that covered them. I gulped at the sight of muscle upon muscle. He was a pure mass of dominant warrior male and I couldn't believe my little self was even here stood arguing against him. Half of me wanted to shy away and just whisper my submission to him but the fighter in me screamed out with rebellious venom.
“Right, well in that case you won't have to worry about it anymore.”
“Good, finally you see sense.” He said prematurely as though he had won a round.
“You misunderstand Draven, it won't be a problem anymore... because I quit!” I said firmly and before I could judge his reaction I grabbed for the door and left him in the room alone once more. I heard an almighty crash from the other side but I just kept going, walking past Sophia without saying a word. I also walked past Karmun at the bar and the rest of the bodies that were all sat around in their usual tables. I don't think I stopped once to take in anything until I made it to my car where I was once again crying. This time thought it was from anger rather than pain. And it soon changed into me swearing like a sailor all the way home.
I was so confused I could hardly breathe. I gripped the steering wheel as though I was going to lose control if I didn't. It made me want to going running into Jack’s arms just at Draven's commands. It was like every time he demanded me to stay away from him, it had the opposite effect, making me want to rebel. It was like saying that even though he didn't want me, he also didn't want anyone else to have me either. But I was still at a loss to understand why. I was too wired to go back home and I didn't want Libby to see me upset.
