Chapter 16.TMI
QUILL
"What?" I loudly screamed in the shock, all the guys from outside standing looking at us, when he kept his hand on my lips, pulling me towards him, looking outside, his alcohol stinking, with his mind and head focus on what was happening outside, he then looked at me back, "They will get the wrong idea. It's a dangerous place, one wrong word and everyone will assume things and kill without hesitation." He informed me shocking me, as he looked at the strange position we were standing in and distant, looking at the floor.
"What do you mean?" I asked him again. Slowly this time when he sighed and looked up, your brother and I was really good friends, and he have always been really friendly with each other, he had high trusts in me. He use to talk to me about everything of you between his talks. Knowing from little to little of you, I went to the cafe once he told me, you are working at, and that's when I first saw you, I won't say I fell in love with you at first sight but knowing everything about you already, I fell for you even deeply. If course your brother found it, and promised me with this ring. In the market he brought immediately, and said he will give this to you when he takes you to show his new house. But before anything could happen, this happen. I had no other choice but follow you around only looking at you from afar. Look at the fate though," He explained me everything in one go, making me dumbfounded, standing there.
He looked at my face, and kept his warm, big and rough hands on my cheeks, the stiffness and roughly touch from him kind of tickled me in my stomach, as he stared in my eyes, "I love you for a long time," His sudden confession really caught me at the moment, as he lips approached nearer mine, he was getting closer his even though stinking breath hitting me, had my heart beating at the twice of its speed and his eyes, that were resting on my lips were asking to close the distance between us. But loud cheer and people's voice got us out of the moment. As he turned his head to look outside.
He exhaled in frustration, when he pulled and sad laughed, "Sorry! I am not pressuring you. Just telling you what he said." He explained me and was not meeting my eyes while he kept staring here and there. "Umm, Romeo," I called him when he stared up but took his eyes away, "If my brother took this with him at the house, why did he have it under the pillow?" That question clouded me the next moment I was thinking straight and not by my hormones.
He froze, he stared at me and then the other way again, "Just," He hesitated and sighed in frustration and chuckled, "I was there with them. I brought it all back." He explained it to me, making me shock. "You killed him?" I asked him taking steps away from him, but he shook his head. "No, I was in the house, when he was killed too. He wanted us to meet. I was in the balcony." He said that straight with no hesitation in his voice.
Was he stating the truth?
"Really?"I again took confirmation from him when he nodded. Whole we were here, the cheering and screaming outside got more loud, when he gestured me to walk ahead, asking me to walk towards front, I did. Walking towards the door I got out of the door with Romeo but my steps halted staring at the person on the chair with others, The Asshole Capo!
I sighed, but he was shocked looking at me with Romeo walking outside of the room. His eyes halted at me, while he stared in my eyes. And no I am not scared of him to look in his eyes. He didn't broke neither did I. Not blinking. I can feel and see all the uneasiness rising in the room around us. Everyone were staring at me being bold enough to do that with the Capo, while the Capo was too doing the same back from there. After all I was just a mere pawn for him to get what he wants. Why would he act out like that?
Right?
"What are you doing Quill, break it!" I heard Romeo beisde me speaking when I didn't listen to him and instead kept staring at the Capo. "He can give me orders to kill you. Don't!" He gritted when I just ignored him. But the glass broke between us making me blink. And tears falling off that were filled in my eyes. He stared at Romeo, but back at the glass he was holding. "You should be in the Den! What are you doing here?" He asked me and waited for me to reply him back but I just ignored him. I am not obligated to reply. Am I? I just went over the chair and sat on it, pouring myself a drink,"We brought her here! She is Romeo's woman!" Oone of the soldier replied but before I could drink, Romeo caught it,"You should not drink! The den is not safe." He again repeated when I just sighed. "I'll be fine! Just let me?" I again asked him when his eyes were telling me to not. I agreed his words and just kept it down, when he stood behind me with his hands resting near my shoulders over the chair's edge.
"Romeo's woman?" He asked and looked up at the blonde guy. "Yeah! That's why you were in the cafe where she use to work!" He recalled and drank a sip. "Yeah! Jade promised her to him becore his death." the same guy joked again everyone laughing. Except me, Capo and Romeo. "Enough! Lex! TMI!"
Sland word!? Are they even aware about them?
Rare!
I wondered to myself, "Thats good. Romeo! If you want her to be safe and not in den. Tell her to hand over the USB. Or I won't spare her life just because she is your woman." The Capo threathen his own man. But Romeo kept his hands on my shoulder. "I am no one to tell what she wants to do. And if it's about safety. I'll protect her as far as I can." He replied him, with strength and righteously. When I look up at his face, his sharp jawline looking way more handsome then it already was. God must have created him separately.
" Quill, let's leave. Its time for you to go back. " He said, asked me to stand, when I did sighing. "Yeah!" I said back and stood walking away from everyone, "Bye! Beauty!" Everyone screamed at me from behind making me laugh. "Yeah! Bye!" I waved them all bye when I finally looked at Romeo walking with me. "What? Where are you going?"I asked him back," Just dropping you back to your place. "He said when I couldn't help but giggle.
Dropping me?
" It's just here! "I said as we were already near the back door. He looked at my face,"Go in!" He said, but I didn't turn. "I will. Go back." I replied when he stared at the group. And back at me. "Actually no!" He said and took my palm in his, and started to drag me inside,clutching on my hand tightly. "Where are you going?" I again asked back but he wont reply, as he took me towards the den gate. Everyone watching me, the people at the den shocked at the sight of me and an soldier. He took me towards the gate, when I walked inside but he didn't. He just glared at everyone from a far. Like a warning to not touch me. Since I belong as his woman and that is against the rule. He warned all. And turned leaving me.
I went towards inside everyone screaming his name. Loudly. I didnt know that I was closed enough to others for them to scream his name and be trying to tease me. But they did. "Wow! You got another soldier!" I heard the top dog yell, as he took a step closer to me. And raised a high five at me. "He is just a friend of Jade!" I cleared myself when they laughed. I ignored them and walked over to the table sitting there with, Jake and James. They looked at me not that pleased. "Really? Romeo? Come on dude! He is the -" James halted, and stared at Jake, "Best!" And screamed, loudly. Trying to give me high five by both his hands. But sat back dissappointed."Whats wrong?" James asked me, when I said nothing.
"Just. It's not like what you all are thinking." I replied him when he nodded, "Do you not know if you are serious about him or not?" He asked me back when I shook my head. "Things are complicated." I stated and stood walking towards the guys playing carrom, and sat on the chair. "Can I play?" I asked him, when the nodded giving me space. They put there hands up front so it doesn't gets touched. "So? Is Romeo and you, really a thing?" The man asked me, someone breaking the bottle behind us, drunk men. Lauging and chit-chatting. "Why? Wanna put your hands on me?" I asked him hitting a two shot in pool. When he laughed, "No, you are a soldier's sister and soldier's daughter. Your mom was a royal blood. How can I think about touching you?" He said making my eyes shot open.
"What?" I asked him back, but he didn't say anything. And hit on his shot. "Nothing! What?" He asked me back instead, and awkward laughed.
"My mother was what?" I asked him when he just shrugged and stood, David walking inside, with like usual bunch of girls. Okay! So the men I was talking to nod all this while, will turn out to be bloody monsters. Trying to eat a woman alive, hurting them.
They watched David, while he stared at me. "Ms. Quill," He asked for, me, when the crowd excused, and made him have a sight of me. "What?" I inquired back, but he just stared at me and then the crowd behind me. "You are going in the Chamber with Capo today." As soon as his words finished everyone gasped and turned to stare at me in shock.. Eyes settled at me. What do they mean by Chambers? Everyone's eyes at me. Worried. They looked at me horrified when the girls walked inside. And he asked for me to follow him. I turned to look at James and Jake who were torn looking at me.
What's wrong? What is Chambers? I wondered alone as I walked towards them instead of David. "What is a chamber?" I queried them when they just kept looking in my eyes. "Chambers are where Capo goes with his woman for night." They explained me. As I made a oh from my lips. "So, he is taking me to Chambers. That sounds so irritating and something I will never do with him" I spoke and turned to walk behind David who was still waiting for me at the door of Den. The rest man already in beast. I walked over towards him as he asked me to follow again. And I did. Daniel staring at me.
But I had no worries. As soon as I was around Daniel I murmured in his ears, "Tell about this to Mileva anonymously." I asked him when he was just shunned. Yeah! If that woman knows she will. Never let this happen. She will nearly kill his husband instead. And also.
It's time for me to check on people I have tried to made my ally so far. If Daniel comes and protects me. It's crystal clear. That I score on One
