Chapter 28 ARMED MEN
ANMELA’S POV
After that, we cooked in the kitchen. We went back to the couch. An hour of cuddling and laughing. Like the movie, our time together had ended.
“I’m leaving.” Laurent walked to the table and grabbed his bag.
“I thought you were going to sleep here?” I pouted, the plea was in my eyes. I was wishing that my cuteness would make him stay.
He came over, bent his body because I was sitting on the couch. He kissed my forehead.
“See you tomorrow, I have something to do.”
It seemed like my overload of cuteness would not convince him, so I had nothing to do.
“All right, tomorrow, promise?” I stood up and enveloped my arms on his waist.
“Tomorrow.” He moved his head up and down.
My hand leaned on his chest down to his belly. I had no idea why I loved to tease him.
“Why are you always naughty, Baby Girl?” His forehead was frowned as always.
I raised my hands and wrapped it on his nape. Then, I tiptoed and moved my face closer to him. “When you say naughty. It is like this.” My lips touched him. I sipped his soft lips. It was tasty.
I thought he would not respond, but he responded and pressed himself on me. He kissed me back in a gentle, romantic way. I could feel the thrill and the butterflies in my stomach. Before the kiss deepened, he removed his lips on mine and gave a distance to our bodies.
“Okay. I will always remember the meaning of naughty to you.” A wide, handsome, perfect, attractive smile formed on his lips that made me blush. He had a perfect feature that even though he did do something he was still nice looking.
“I have difficulty leaving you.” He grabbed my hands and put them on his shoulder. Then, his hands were enveloping my curves.
I noticed that his smile was getting more frequent. It was good news.
“Let’s go?” Laurent held my hands. I just nodded.
We came out with intertwining hands. My smile never faded until we reached the parking lot. We were close to his car when we felt that there was someone else in the place.
We were shocked when there were men standing a bit distance from us. They did not look like good people. That was why my body quake. The fear was gradually forming in my chest.
Laurent immediately hid me behind him.
“Anmela Eris, go back inside.” His voice was almost a whisper. I held the hem of his shirt.
I glanced at the men. My fear became extreme when I saw that they were armed people. They had long guns. I never seen that kind of tool before and that made me anxious of what would happen to us tonight.
Laurent just smiled as if he was not scared of these people. He stood as if there was no fear crawling all over his body. He looked at them like a normal stare, like a casual as if there was no danger.
How can he do that? Standing like a mafia boss with powerful looks.
Laurent acted quickly when he saw that they were approaching us. He ran and pulled me back inside. We were about to reach the door when my whole system froze, there was a man blocking us while pointing his gun at us.
“What’s happening?” I was stuttering, my body was shaking.
“Shhh, quite. Just trust me.” His voice was soft, soothing my feelings, but no matter what he said, he could not ease the fright in me.
“Your girlfriend?” The man asked. The smirk formed on his lips.
How I wish that this moment was just a nightmare. I could not take this, I might have a heart attack or black out because of too much tension.
I hid behind Laurent when I saw that he was looking at me from head to toe, observing my whole feature. I hated that way of looking when it was not Laurent. It was rude to me.
When I stared at Laurent’s expression he was calm even his hand that was holding me had no sign of fear.
The gun was still pointed at Laurent, but he did not seem nervous or what.
“If you look at her again. I’ll get your eyeballs.” Laurent’s voice had authority, power and threat. He was standing like an army, straight and cool plus his features were perfectly handsome. “Understand me?”
The man let out a burst of laughter.
“Oh! You seem possessive, sounds like a jealous person.”
I glanced at the man again. He was scary because he had a gun, but Lauressa was scarier than him.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“What do you want?” Arrogant, forehead raised, and calmed Laurent said. I tightened my grip on his hand when I felt the fear making me more vulnerable.
What if they do something bad to us? Can we run or survive this night?
They had guns and according to their appearance, it was obvious that they were not doing good.
“Your life.” The man stared sharply at Laurent.
My chest heaved recklessly. I was so scared that was why my tears flowed. I did not know how to hurt people, how can I help him if they do something harmful?
“Don’t cry,” Laurent said calmly as he squeezed my hand.
“Sweet!” The man with the gun laughed again. Suddenly, his face became serious.
“If you didn’t invade my territory, maybe this time you are happy, enjoying your love life, but sadly, you have something to pay.” He shook his head and tightened the hold of the gun. “Do you know how many dollars we lost when you rescued that child?”
Child? Saved? What is that? What did he do to make them like this?
I could not understand what they were talking about. It was true that I did not know Laurent well. All of it was a secret. This thing was unexpected. They were dealing with a big thing that made me curious.
Is he involved in the dark market? Or any illegal doings? I hope not. He would not be. But what if he is? No, no!
“We lost the profits when you ruined the plan!”
“I don’t care.”
My jaw dropped when Laurent answered him like that. As in he answered uninterested in what he was saying.
This man was really unpredictable. He was so cold.
