I had no idea what type of aura Frank possessed but the men all ran off as soon as they saw him.
Frank pulled me to my feet and brushed his hands through my hair, "are you okay?"
I shook my head negatively and he pressed my head against his shoulder, "I'm sorry these men treat you like this." He heaved a sigh.
There was no amount of words that could accurately describe the peace I felt just by being in Frank's arms, everything about him felt heavenly, like all my worries and burdens were gone.
Frank and I stayed in that position for a while before we finally decided to pull away. "I got your text, no one comes in here, the cafeteria is basically just the dummy of this site."
"I figured." I sighed, "let's just hang out together somewhere else before the break is over."
Frank and I spent the break talking about the work he had to do and how he was intentionally
"What in the BDSM shit is going on? I'm a dancer not a sex slave." I reminded him in case he had forgotten."I paid you for this service, you're supposed to deliver everything I want." He raised one eyebrow. "There's no contract binding this agreement and so we can basically do what I want."I stood up sharply, "I'm sorry Neil, maybe we should have talked about it more. I'm going to take my leave now." Although I was using this as an excuse to leave, I'd been uncomfortable and feeling bad that Frank did not want me to be here."Wait, I paid you, you can't just leave like that." He held my wrist, stopping me, a deep frown on his face."Um..." I tried to hide my fear of him, "I need time to process it if we are going to be doing any of that, how long is this supposed to last?" I realised just now that I'd not asked as many questions as I should."Just five hours." He smirked,
Surprising myself, I was able to trace the exit out of here. While Neil was still coming after me, he was slowing down because he was out of breath. I called Frank's phone with shaky hands."Where are you?!" He called with worry."I'm trying to leave this mansion, where are you?" I asked him. "Frank, Neil is literally running after me because I refused to do something that he asked for." I called into the phone, scared and out of breath."The fuck?" Frank said and I heard slamming doors in the background. "I'm coming for you just hold on, I was parked in front of his- I see you! Keep running straight ahead." I looked away from the phone and found Frank running towards me.When we caught up with each other, I forgot all about how scared I'd been of Neil. I dissolved into Frank's warm embrace instead. I knew it wasn't the right time but there was no where else I would rather be in that moment. Frank pulled away and set me so I was standing
I widened my eyes, my heart beating fast in its cage wondering if maybe Neil had somehow managed to catch up with me. I was snatched into an isolated corner when the hand finally let go.I must have been distracted by my fear to realise the manicured nails but the hand belonged to mine other than Leni.'"What the fuck?" I frowned, "what on earth do you think you're doing, bringing me here, have you lost your fucking kind?" I snapped at her."Oh shut up, you know why I'm here." She spoke in an equal toxic laced voice, "It's about Frank. I heard what happened. He brought Bee over to the hotel and left to get a new job and my daughter, she told me everything." She folded her arms across her chest"I don't know what it is you've done to him but Frank would never choose anyone over his daughter so I know he didn't plan on losing his job for you when he has a human to feed. I will never let my daughter suffer for someone else's sake." She shook h
I sat in front of the bathroom mirror, caking mascara unto my eyelashes, when a knock came on the door. I rolled my eyes. It was probably the fifteenth knock in the last ten minutes."Um Jane? I really have to go." That was Ed, my roommate."I'm almost done." I called back at him, hurrying my makeup for his sake. It had been two months since I saw Frank last, since I left his house and since I moved in Ed.I hated having flashbacks to that night. Dan had hung up on me immediately I called him and so there was no hope for me in that area. I'd broke down at the bus stop, missing every bus, just sitting down with my bags by my side, crying my eyes out.Ed had been kind enough to ask what was wrong with me and my mental state had not cared that he was a complete stranger, I'd just went ahead to tell him every little aspect of my life and how was I homeless."I just moved into my apartment, it's not far from here. It's a two bedroom and I'm
"Are you okay?" He repeated again as if it wasn't strange just bumping into him here."Yeah I am." I mumbled under my breath. It felt unrealistic to bump into him, yes we lived in the same city but far from his street. I'd wanted nothing to do with him and in that short period of time where we had stopped communicating, I could almost swear that I had lost the feelings I had for him but seeing him here now, his hair grown much more, his tan darker and the presence of more tattoo on his arms and chest area, I could see from his short sleeved shirt. His eyelashes were curled upwards and he had tweaked a few of his eyebrow hairs off.I didn't know how engrossed I was with watching him until he broke the silence, "you said you broke your ankle, hop in I'll take you to the nearest hospital." He offered, still speaking in that tone that made it seem like we'd never met before."No." I shook my head. My head was already tight and I couldn't even breathe in such a
"You could catch a cold," he was pulling his jacket off with his free hand and handing it to me. "Take it.""I'm already wet, I'll just soak it regardless." I sighed."Where are you headed?" He asked."Home but the bus isn't here snd I'm just trying to find somewhere warm to wait by. I wanted to ask him why he was here or what he was doing but I decided against it, not wanting to come off as too inquisitive."I can take you to my place." It seemed he had figured I did not want him knowing where I stayed. On the one hand, it was a good idea to get me warm and out of this hell of a place but on the other hand, I was trying to heal from him not add salt to my wounds.He took my hand before I could respond, "You're coming with me, you're not going to fall sick under my watch." If only he knew what holding my hand was doing to my body, he would refrain from so doing.I didn't bother to argue, I just went with him, craving for warmth m
It wasn't a dream when I woke up tge next day.Frank planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and it felt like the past two months had not even happened. It was when my phone beeped where it was on the bed that I snapped to my feet.It was Ed."Where on earth are you?" He called."Good that you care now, even though I was literally gone the whole night." I rolled my eyes."I tried to call you but it wouldn't connect. I was worried but glad to hear that you're fine." He said and clicked his tongue."I'll be home in the matter of a few minutes, make breakfast for me." I called into the phone and then hung up."Is that a new boyfriend?" Frank said from where he was sitting beside me."Maybe," I decided to tease him, "why would you care?""I don't." He shrugged one shoulder, "we are nothing but friends with benefits, at this point, we are not even friends. Just with benefits."That caused my heart to s
I didn't stop to think as I left the house, driving on full speed to the hospital. I kept glancing at my phone to see if I had missed any calls that could tell me she had been identified, and was alive."Sir!" A nurse called behind me as I ran towards the emergency room of the hospital. She was coming after me but I didn't care. All I wanted was to see Jane safe.She was backed up by two security men that managed to catch up with me. "Sir you can't go in there." Ohe of them held my sleeve."You don't get it, I need to find out if she is okay! Let me go you motherfuckers." I was panting heavily, fear overwhelming me."I'll deal with it on your behalf." The nurse assured me. I tried my best to stay calm. I didn't want to be sent away from the hospital and not be able to see her."Okay fine, I just want to know if she's fine. Her name is Jane..." I paused, realising that I never bothered to ask her what her last name ever was and then I'd
