Dale
“Dale, I can’t… what if he came here, there’s Mable … I can’t put her in harm’s way…” her voice was strained, she felt so comfortable in my arms, I didn’t want to let her go.
“I’ll hire private security on the surrounding premises, I will get the best and I actually think it’s best if she stays, so he will get tempted to show his face. Then the agency will deal with him accordingly. You said it yourself this has to be resolved quickly, and the police had not made any improvement.” I told him firmly, Aiden was a reasonable guy. He didn’t oppose my idea instantly, but he didn’t agree to it either, and he was definitely giving it a second thought.
I never like giving out my family’s name as a prove of my social standing and worthiness, but I couldn’t lose her. I need her to stay by my side, where I know that she would be safe.
“Amanda you’re an adult, your parents will have no control over your decision. I know they would’ve wanted you to come back. But it’s your decision. Look, I really got to hand over this evidence before lunch hour, what if I call you back once I’m done at the police and I’ll swing by here?” Aiden said to her a bit too chummy for my liking.
She looks so tired when she nodded at him, they hugged one last time before he left for the police.
“Come on let’s get you upstairs, and get you settled in…” I took her hand and kissed it.
She was still too quiet when we got to my apartment. I told Tom to be on the lookout after I give him brief information about what happened to Amanda earlier.
“Why don’t you sit down while I call the security company, then I’ll make us breakfast.” I seated her on the breakfast stool, while I took out my phone and called my old friend.
“Hey Bruce it’s me Dale… yes, Richardson… good, look I need you to come to the coffee shop right now and bring one or two of your men, I need them around. It’s a level two domestic issues. Okay, see you soon.”
I hang up on him, Bruce was one of my college buddies. I dabbled with his company, for a short period of time. But it didn’t suit me very well, the job was too intense for my liking and the hours were too grueling for my taste. We parted in a good term when I decided to end our partnership.
She jumped when her phone vibrated. I could see the nervousness when she looks at the caller ID and sighed when it was Angelica calling.
“Hey… yes, I’m at Dale’s … no, I already called Aiden and he’s taking the note to the police as we speak, uh-huh… okay, yeah Dale already called the security company. I think so… okay, bye Angelica, thank you for this morning…”
I was finishing up on my bacon and eggs and start plating it while waiting for the toast. She was drinking her coffee while looking at me, I couldn’t believe that a simple look was making me stiff.
“Hey… it’s all going to be fine, come on you got to eat your breakfast.” I caressed her face and kissed the tip of her nose.
“Who’s Natalie?” she suddenly asked me.
Wait, how did she know about Natalie?
She was fiddling with her hands, looking a bit nervous… no, did she look at my texts?
“And you know about Natalie how?” I smirked at her, knowing she must’ve looked at my phone. I never knew she was that kind of woman. I usually detest that in a woman, but somehow she makes it look adoringly cute as she makes out to be the possessive one towards me.
“Erm… I might’ve looked at your message as it buzzed and the writings were visible. I mean… if you… if she, then … we shouldn’t… then this… maybe we should…” she was struggling with her words. She was so cute, I couldn’t take it anymore as I pulled her in for a deep kiss.
“She’s no one, I already texted her back… here…” I hand her my phone, showing her the text. She sighed and then blushed realizing that she was caught peeking at my phone.
“I’m sorry about looking at your phone, I shouldn’t have…” she was biting her lip, making me want to pick her up and throw her to my bed and fuck her hard.
“So, that’s the reason why you didn’t text me back and didn’t answer my call?” The realization just reaches my thoughts, I cupped her face and kissed her lips again. God… such sexy lips.
“Oh… Amanda, you’re going to be in so much trouble for this.” I licked her neck, then sucking her throat gently. I could feel her squirming in my hand, she was holding on to my t-shirt gripping it tightly as she let out a low whimpering moan.
“Dale, I… please… I need more…” she breathed out her plea, while her hand trace under my shirt touching my lower abs making me groan.
“Amanda, Bruce is coming here… patience baby, we will play later… now, eat your breakfast.” I let her go and she bit her lip and crossed her legs together. Goddamn!
And as if he was summoned, my phone buzzed and his name appeared on my screen.
“Bruce, come to the back office I’ll be right down.”
“Come, baby, let’s meet Bruce then we can continue with breakfast and when you’re finished I’ll let you have your special dessert.” I pulled her up and kissed her hard and showed her my erection, as I squeeze her ass and pushed her flat to my groin.
We broke the kiss breathing heavily, her cheeks were tinted pink, her lips plumped from our brief and sexy kiss. I kissed her temple then took her hand in mine and walked down to my office.
“Bruce, how are you, buddy?” I gave him a big hug, making him laughed at me.
“I’m good, we’ve missed you back at the office. The coffee is just not the same without you.” He mocked and slap my back playfully.
Bruce could always make you laugh, I never knew how he copes with all the things he had seen on the streets. Doing what he has been doing, even before he started the agency with me when he was in the army. I know he got deployed several times and had lost a few of his closest friends on the field.
Paid security services weren’t all glamour as people may think. They didn’t always cater to celebrities, sometimes they cater to deranged wealthy clients that were just too messed up for this world. At times Bruce would end the service, and some he pushed on the legality issues and not took the job. He would talk about his job sometimes when he was in the neighborhood saying he needed some coffee, while in reality, I knew that he needed to unload.
“So, this is Amanda… she’s my newest conquest, kidding baby. She’s mmh… I still don’t know, I just wish she would stay with me longer. Is it safe to call you my girlfriend? I don’t want to scare you away.” I gave her my sexiest smile, making her nod at me smiling shyly.
Oh, that smile, that sexy lips…
“Okay then! Bruce… my girlfriend Amanda, shake her hand with caution, I’m watching buddy.” I teased him, making her let out a small laugh.
He laughed at me and took her hand but instead of shaking hers he kissed her hand and winked at her. Obviously toying with me, and made me laugh harder at his antics.
“Okay.. enough with the jokes, now sit down please and let Amanda tell you about her story.” I let Amanda sit on the sofa while Bruce was sitting across her. I stayed and rest my ass to my desk, I was too nervous to sit down to hear her side of the story.
I was patiently waiting for her since she hadn’t revealed the whole thing. I got bits and pieces from Aiden, telling about her house, and the ex-husband’s wealth making him able to stay hidden. I was definitely not ready when she said that he had abused her for years and that it was her nanny that finally inform her parents, as she was too scared to tell them. Fuck!
Bruce was looking at me, while she was still telling us about Troy. My knuckles were white from gripping the end of my desk too tight, while my body rests casually to the table. But Bruce knew me too damn well, he knows that I was about to explode if he didn’t interrupt.
“Okay Amanda, I think It’ll do for now. Dale here is going to go hulk on us if you continue, but I get the picture, I have his name and his details. We will dig him out, and in the meantime, I got Jack and Jill in the coffee shop, Dale… they will be your new temps until this matter is settled, I will introduce you on my way out.”
