Knight
When I said I was there to protect Cassandra, I meant that I’d take her home once she got drunk so she could sleep and get over her hangover the next day but I didn’t expect she would be taking the stage to perform.
There was a professional band performing on stage but cassie hijacked the stage mid performance. They let her do her thing but I had tried to stop her, instead, Cassandra hit my chest as hard as she could in her drunken state then she tried pushing me away with her weak hands.
I had to let her be as the crowd began to cheer her on. She began to sing. I watched her and really did tried not to laugh but her entire act was funny to everyone who saw her perform. I made a video of her secretly so that she’d see herself in the morning.
“I feel like I’m about to fall.” She says holding her head and staggering. I become alert and move closer to her.
“Cassie, please come down now. It’s time to go.” I plead with her but she looks at me with a smirk then drops the mic.
“Catch me if you ….” A scream erupts from her mouth as she falls in my direction. I’m quick to catch her in my arms and she begins to laugh. I sigh in relief, she must really feel safe in such state.
She continues to mutter random stuffs which just makes me laugh even more while the crowd kept cheering.
“Show time’s over people.” I say more to myself than to the crowd. I carry cassandra to the car and drive us back to our hotel room.
I placed Cassandra on the bed then take her shoes off before changing her into something more comfortable.
I take a shower and when I return, I find her searching the bed. I stop to observe her even more.
“Knight…. Knight….” Her voice cracks out and she vegins to cry. I chuckle feeling amused. I was surprised earlier that she didn’t cry this time when it was a usual habit of hers to cry whenever she was drunk and here she was proving that it was a habit.
I hurry up to the bed when I noticed she was sbout to fall off. I wedged her and pulled her further into the bed then I lay beside her. With teary eyes, Cassie touches my face and I smile at her
“Don’t leave me…. Please.” She said and I hold her hand on my face. I kiss her palm then move closer to her.
“Never… I’m right here with you princess.”
“So did Angel catch him?” I got confused for a moment by her question.
“Catch who?” I ask even though I had my guess. She looks at me as if I was supposed to know what she was talking about.
“Sparrow.” She mutters and I’m taken aback. Were the ladies still insecure about the outcome of the operation? Or was it that Cassie’s casual comment a subconscious revelation?
“You’re safe. There’s nothing you need to worry about when I’m here.” I said pulling her into my arms.
“I hate it when you leave.” She says hugging me like she was afraid I’d leave. I kiss her forehead and begin to rub her shoulder to calm her. I hated the fact that I made her worry.

Cassie
I woke up from sleep to see knight squatting before me and caressing my cheek. He had the warmest smile but I was confused for some seconds before getting flashes from the previous night. My lips form a circle in shock. I didn’t have the full picture or detail but I knew I messed up.
“Don’t tell me….”
“You had the best time princess.” Knight said and it just confirmed that I indeed embarrassed myself. “Don’t tell me you’re regretting.” He said in teasing tone.
“Knight….” I call in frustration.
He laughs and stands to sit on the bed with me. I sit up as well but my head feels heavy from a hangover.
“You should have stopped me.”
“I tried but you hit me hard.” He said but I scoffed knowing I did no such thing. He does look serious and I’m shocked that I actually did.
“Forgive me my love.” I apologized while searching his body to check if I caused any visible harm but he points at his lips asking for a kiss instead. It brings a smile to my face and I move closer to kiss him but then found my back on the bed. Knight had just flipped me over the bed. He came above me pinning me down.
“Knight my head hurts.” I said touching my head.
“Fuck….” He said and looked like he was cursing himself within. He leans down and begins to drop kisses in different spots on my head.
His chest was pressing hard against my breast and I tried to adjust my breast but Knight’s eyes followed my hand and he adjusted himself instead.
I feel shy suddenly as his eyes still remained on my breast. He looks at me and I look away. I cover my breast with one hand but he pulls it down and sucks my nipples.
“Naughty girl.” He whispers against my nipple causing me to blush hard.
He spanks my ass slightly then stands up from the bed.
“Lets go freshen up and get something to eat. He said lifting me up from the bed as well. He puts me on my feet, comes behind me and grabs my breast. He kept squeezing it so sweetly and dropping kisses at the back of my neck while we walked into the bathroom.
While we brushed, I noticed a mood change in Knight but waited untill we were done to question him.
“Tell me, what is it?” I ask and he seems a little surprised.
“How could you tell?”
“Tell that you have something to say? I know you Knight. I’ve known you my entire life so spill it.” I said.
“Damian called several times.” He said and I let out a sigh.
“Oh….” I muttered.
“You should speak with him.” He said.
“No, I’m not calling him. Not now.”
“If this is about me….”
“No Knight … I’ll call him after we are done taking all that I need from my room. I know what he wants to talk about.” Knight looked at me like I just finally realized he was telling the truth about Damian.
“Are you not worried?” Of course I was worried about how Damian would react should I turn him down. Well, that’s if I was right with my guess about what he wanted to talk about.
“Damian will be fine. Besides I need to know for certain that you are right about him having feelings for me. I need to clear him if that’s the case.” I said.
“You’ll be fine too, I promise.” Knight said pulling me for a hug.
We have breakfast that morning and head to my apartment later in the day.
We begin to pack my stuffs into different boxes. I noticed Knight was quiet for a minute so I turned to see what kept him that way. To my shock, he had pictures of him and notes that I had kept of him. I had left them in my drawer.
“Knight?” He turns around with the notes and pictures and looks at me with guilt filled eyes.
I move towards him and take the notes away from him then I look at him apologetically. ” I didn’t mean all those things.” I said knowing the notes were full of hateful things I wrote about him when he left me heartbroken a year ago.
“I hurt you so much.” He said but I tore the notes right in front of him.
“And just like that, it’s gone.” I said.
“Cassie….”
“I have you now knight. Let’s not dwell on the past. I have you. You have no idea how much you mean to me my love. You’re here now, nothing beats it.” He careesses my cheek and smiles weakly. A knock suddenly lands on the door distracting us.
“Must be another neighbor.” I said going towards the door. I already had a neighbor check on my room when she had some noise coming from it. I open the door but I’m enveloped by shock the moment I see Damian in front of me.
