Amara POV
…..
” You shot him! ” I yell at Dimitri.
Hearing Sadie cry from inside the bedroom. I rush inside and walk over to her crib. I pick her up and hold her to my chest.
” Shhh, it’s okay baby.” I tell her as I gently bounce her on my hip.
Dimitri walks in and shuts the door behind him. ” I shot him because he touched something that doesn’t belong to him. ”
I watch as he places his hand gun on top of the dresser. ” I told you before I don’t belong to you! I am my own person.”
” No, you are mine. How many times do I have to say it?” He gets back on the bed and lays back like nothing just happened.
” You just shot someone and now your going to sleep!” I snap at him.
” Yeah? Sleep is important. ” Dimitri tells me as he gets comfortable and places his hands behind his head.
I walk over to the bed and gently set Sadie down. She sniffles and crawls over to Dimitri. I watch as she pokes Dimitri side, ” Dada! ” She says sniffing at him.
I watch as Dimitri moves his right arm from his head and pulls Sadie close. ” It’s okay just lay down.” He tells her.
I watch as Sadie lays her head down on Dimitri chest.
She has really grown attached to everyone since we have been here. She really loves Dimitri and I do want her to be happy.
I climb into the bed and lay down with Sadie in the middle. ” So, you are actually sleeping in here now?” Dimitri asked as he gently rubs Sadie’s back.
” Yeah, I don’t want your men walking into my room again. Especially when I am naked.” I blurt out.
Shit! I wasn’t going to tell him about that part.
” They what!” Dimitri says instantly sitting up in bed with Sadie leaning against his right arm.
” Relax, I was under blankets and they didn’t see anything. Would have been nice if they knocked but it was fine. They respectfully left the room. well, one of them did. The other guy you shot.” I babble away to him.
” Are you trying to convince me not to kill the other guy?” Dimitri says smiling at me with amusement in his eyes.
” Yes, cause the other guy was actually nice, respectful, and told the man you shot to leave me alone.” I tell him.
” I won’t kill him. Now will you go to sleep.” He tells me softly.
” Only if you lay back down.” I tell him.
I watch him lay back down and Sadie lays her head back down on his chest. I can’t help but laugh mentally at watching her with him.
Dimitri is an unstable asshole, but I know he won’t hurt her. Although him saying I belong to him is annoying. He been saying that since middle school but always dated slutty girls.
” Stop over thinking and go to sleep.” Dimitri says breaking me out of my train of thought. I look over at him to see he is staring at me.
” I’m not over thinking but there is one thing that is bothering me.” I say sitting up in bed. ” You been saying since we met in middle school that I belonged to you. Yet you would date and have sex with every girl at school. Yet you chased away any guys that would try to ask me out.” I say to him.
” That’s because you are and still are mine. As for all the girls at school. I never dated them I only fucked them for a few weeks. While you are more wife material and were a virgin at the time. I wanted to keep you safe and make your first time special.” He says with a smile.
I roll my eyes, ” Yeah, cause that makes a lot of sense, and what makes you think I am going to marry you?” I question him with a raised brow.
He smile widened, ” Because I get what I want. Now can you stop being jealous. I’m not even dating anyone. All I want is you.”
I scoff, ” I’m not jealous!” I tell him.
Why would I be jealous?
” Than why are you glaring at me?” He questioned back with a soft laugh.
” You shot someone in the hallway!” I whisper yell at him.
It’s a good thing I noticed Sadie had fallen asleep again. I almost yelled a little too loud.
” Your still going on about that?” He groans and rubs his free hand over his face. ” Will you just go to sleep. I have an early morning and your arguing over dumb shit.”
” Dumb! You shot someone. You dated pretty much everyone at school and banged the whole cheer team!” I whisper yell at him again.
Dimitri starts laughing which takes me by surprise. As I stare at him in shock.
” Can you get over me shooting the piece of shit? And for your information it wasn’t the whole cheer team. It was only four cheerleaders and it wasn’t the whole school. It was the entire twelveth and eleventh grade.” He points out to me.
” Yes, cause you telling me that makes this conversation better.” I tells him as I let out a huff. I lay down and roll over so my back is facing him.
Dimitri laughs more, ” Stop being jealous.” He tells me again.
” I’m not jealous.. Just shut up and go to sleep.” I tell him as I stare at the wall.
I don’t think I am jealous.
It just makes me mad that he claims me, but he always fucked, kissed, or held others girls. Than after so many years he decides he wants to marry me.
Wife material my ass.
….
Waking up to the sun shining in my eyes. I roll over to see Dimitri and Sadie are both gone. Looking over at the alarm clock sitting on Dimitri nightstand I stare at the time before letting out a loud groan.
It’s two o’clock in the afternoon!
I throw the blankets off of me and get to my feet. I walk over to my bags that have my clothes inside. I never did unpack when I got here. I guess it made the maids job easier to relocate all my stuff into Dimitri room.
I sit in the floor and dig around in bag, until I pull out a clean pair of green shorts with a matching green tanktop. I even grab a black bra and matching black laced panties.
Think I am going to take a quick shower. It has been a few days, so I am sure I stink. Getting up off the floor I walk over to the bedroom and go inside.
I shut the door behind me and lock it. I strip out of my clothes and turn the water on so it can warm up. Once the water is the temperature I want it. I climb inside and and pull the shower curtain close.
As I am wetting my hair I hear the door open. I peek through the curtain to see it is Dimitri.
How did he?
” I locked the door for a reason!” I yell over the sound of the water running.
” So, it is my bathroom and If I wanted to see you naked I would have pulled the curtain open.” He yells back to me.
I pull the curtain back and poke my head out and stare at him in disbelief. ” You wouldn’t dare!” I says watching him wash red stuff off into the sink.
Is that blood?”
” Are you washing blood off?” I asked him.
He looks at me through the mirror reflection. ” Do you really want me to answer that?” He questioned me.
I guess that answers my question.
I don’t say anything back I just move away from the curtain and get back to wetting my hair. Once my hair is complete soaked I grab the shampoo bottle that was already on the side of the tub.
Since I left my shampoo and conditioner in my bag. I am sure Dimitri won’t mind if I use his stuff.
I pour a good amount of shampoo into my hand. The smell is so strong I can smell it without holding it up to my nose. It has a strong male scent and smells like forest rain mixed with ax body spray.
It was strong but it smells good.
I rub my hands together to get the shampoo all over my hands before putting it in my hair.
I slowly work the shampoo into my hair until it is fully lathered before rinsing. I than do the same with the hair conditioner before rinsing it out of my hair.
I than quickly wash my body. I can still hear Dimitri moving around in the bathroom.
What the hell is he doing?
” Since your hanging out in here. Do you have a razor I can use?” I yell out to him.
I hear more movement before hearing a drawer open and shut. A second later a gray and black razor is places on the side of the tub.
” Thanks.” I tell him before I hear the bathroom door open and shut. I peek out to see Dimitri had left the bathroom.
I quickly shave my legs and armpits before getting out of the shower. I see a gray towel on the bathroom counter.
I didn’t put that there.
I guess Dimitri must have gotten it for me.
I take the towel and began drying off. Once I am complete dry I get dress.
Once dressed I step out of the bathroom to see Dimitri sitting on the bed smoking a cigarette. His knuckles have cuts like he had been punching something over and over again.
….. ~ Dimitri POV a few hours earlier ~ ……
I was sitting in the basement watching Lucia beat the shit out of the guard. That I had told to follow Amara last night and keep her from falling asleep in any bedrooms.
I didn’t tell them to pick the lock or barge into Amara bedroom. They were just suppose to bang on the door until she came out.
I even heard all the shit that asshole said from the security cameras. I even watched him chase Amara down the hallway. I don’t regret shooting him dead.
The only reason I am not killing this man is because he was respectful and did warn the other guard to leave Amara alone, but he didn’t stop the other guards from chasing after her. I only know all this because of the security video Liam showed me this morning.
So here I am making sure he gets the beating he desperately deserves. So he doesn’t repeat the same mistake twice.
” She is just a whore!” The guard snaps out in anger as he spits blood onto the concrete. He was standing against a wooden piller with his hands handcuffed above his head. His left eye was swollen shut, lip busted and blood coming out of his mouth.
” A whore?” I question him as I take steps towards him. ” You know last night that whore was defending you and asking me not to kill you.”
I ball my hand into a fist and punch him hard in the abdomen. I listen to him cough and watch as he spits out more blood onto the concrete.
” To think she defended someone so damn ungrateful!” I says angrily as I see the regret on the guards face.
Yeah, you fucked up now.
Amara is a lot of things but a whore isn’t one of them.
I punch him hard again into the abdomen, before punching him over and over again in the same spot. I keep going until my knuckles start to bleed.
” Dimitri! If you keep hitting him. You will actually kill him!” Liam says pulling me back.
” No! He is dying now!” I snap out of anger and reach behind my back for my gun that is in my waistband.
” It’s hard to find good help Dimitri.” Rex says as he enters the basement with Sadie in his arms.
I remove my hand from my gun and glare at him. ” Why did you bring her down here? Are you trying traumatize her?” Walking over I start to take her.
” No!” Rex says pulling her away from me. ” You go wash your hands first.” He tells me and looks at Liam and Lucia. ” One of you shoot him in the leg and take him to get patched up.”
I roll my eyes, ” Why did you bring her down here?” I asked him again.
” Because I wasn’t going to leave her upstairs alone. Kir and lev had some business to attend too, and I don’t trust the new maids you recently hired.” He says as he starts walking away.
Looking down at my hands I let out a sigh, ” I guess he is right about me needing to clean up first. ” I watch as Liam shoots the guard in the leg.
He let’s out a painful cry as Lucia uncuffs him and gets two other guards to help carry him out of the basement.
” Will you make sure Sadie is dressed and ready to go town? I was going to take her and Amara to the store.” I tell Liam as I head out the basement doors.
Liam nods as he walks beside me, ” Yeah, I can do that.” He says before heading towards the living room.
I head towards my bedroom and when I enter I don’t see Amara in the bed, but the bathroom door is shut. I turn the knob to find it is locked.
Really? She locks the bathroom door but not the main door you use to get into the room.
I shake my head and pull out my pocket knife. I jam it between the door and the door frame. I slide the knife under the lock and add a bit of pressure. Until I hear it pop and push the door open.
Steam hits me in the face as I enter and I shut the door behind me.
” I locked the door for a reason!” She yells over the sound of running water.
” So, it is my bathroom and If I wanted to see you naked. I would have pulled the curtain open.” I yell back to her.
I walk over to the sink and turn on the faucet. I rinse off some blood first before I put some soap into my hands.
In the reflection of the mirror I see Amara poke her head out and stare at me I’m disbelief. ” You wouldn’t dare!” She says staring at me hard for a few moments before speaking again. ” Are you washing off blood?” She asked me.
I make eye contact with her through her reflection before answering. “Do you really want me to answer that?” I question her.
I watch as she says nothing and closes the curtain to get back to her shower. As I clean the blood off my hands I realizes I now have blood all over my sink.
Fuck me!
I walk around looking for stuff to clean the sink with. I would normally have a maid clean this up, but I don’t feel like looking for one.
I look under the sink and find paper towels and a bottle of bleach. I start cleaning the blood out of the sink and off the counter. I even rinse off the pump handle to the soap container in the sink, and make sure I get all the blood off of it before I put it back down next to the faucet.
I throw all the blood soaked paper towels into the trash can. When I hear Amara speak, ” Since you are hanging out in here. Do you have a razor I can use?”
I take the trash bag out of the trash can before opening the counter drawer on my side of the bathroom. I pull out a new gray and black razor. I shut the drawer and walk over to the shower and place the razor on the side of the tub.
I notice she doesn’t have a towel. So I grab one out of the bathroom closet and set it on the counter for her. I grab the trash bag quickly and leave the bathroom.
I shut the bathroom door behind me and open the bedroom door. I stop a maid and hand her the trash bag, ” Throw that out.” I order her before shutting the door.
I walk over to the closet and change out of my blood covered clothes into black sweat pants and a white t-shirt.
I walk over to my nightstand and open the drawer and find a box of cigarettes. I shake it to make sure I have the right box and not the ones with nicotine gum inside.
Hearing the cigarettes bounce against the box I open it up. I take the cigarette out and place it between my lips as I get the lighter I have the box out.
I light the cigarette and take a few hits before tossing the box onto my nightstand and sit down on the bed.
Hearing the bathroom door open I watch as Amara comes out. Her hair is still damp and tangled together. I stare at her shorts and freshly shaved legs before making eye contact with her.
” We should go to the store to get you more stuff.” I tell her as I let out a puff of smoke.
Amara nods, ” Sounds good to me. I need to pick up a few things anyway.” She says walking over to her bag and digs around before pulling out her hair brush.
I get up and grab a gray pair of socks before getting my gray tennis shoes. I put on the socks and shoes before walking towards the door.
” I will go see if Liam got Sadie ready and I will be waiting down stairs.” I tell her before leaving the bedroom.
Shopping should be a fun day out together. Let’s just hope Liam got Sadie ready and didn’t let her go outside to play in dirt.
