Caught In The Middle

Angels singing

I was officially a rebel, I didn’t sleep at home.

I allowed Marcus to convince me that it was better if we spent the night together (not sexually of course, I still wasn’t giving up my V.card) to calm my nerves. Arianna was more than willing to cover for me with my mum and she told her I was spending the night at her place. I also called my mom just to put her mind at ease and know that I was really ok, lately I could never know for sure what was going through her mind.

Marcus had the most comfortable bed, and he made me wear his Pyjama top which was more like a medium sized dress to me. 

“You look ravishing” he said biting my neck and I giggled

“Thank you” I said

“Sleeping will be extremely hard for me tonight” he said 

“Oh, I can put my jeans back on if it would make you feel better” I said and he shook his head

“No, for you I will wait for as long as I need to until you are ready” he said and I blushed “you are worth the wait” he added kissing my hands

“How am I so lucky to have you?” I said and he kissed me on my forehead

“i think am the lucky one” he argued and I chuckled

We can argue about luck some other time, I think we should sleep tomorrow will be a long day...at least for me” I said resting my head on his chest as he lay back and I immediately drifted off to sleep.

MARCU’S POV

I hadn’t slept so well in a very long time, holding Sabina in my arms the whole night was the best feeling I had ever felt. I woke up with a sore arm because no matter how much Sabina had tried to change her sleeping position, I kept bringing her back into my arms. In a way I felt like this spoke volumes to my unexpressed fear of losing her...if I was every faced with the possibility of losing her I would go totally crazy and that was a fact.

I of course woke up early the next morning as usual, I always woke up at 5am to go to the gym and break a sweat, looking this good was hard work.

After working out, I was surprised to find Sabina had already bathed and ready for the day. She still had on her clothes from the previous day and I had already asked Piet to get her something to wear. Sabina looked so beautiful, if she always looked like this in the mornings, I knew I wanted to see and experience her like this every day. And now that I had seen just how beautiful she was in the morning I wasn’t sure how I would survive any other morning without her. Without make up masking her beautiful skin, Sabina looked like an angel. She had a beauty spot right at the top of her right eyebrow and to me... that made her even more beautiful.

“You have a beauty spot, how come I never noticed that before” I asked as I sat on the bed next to her “morning” I said kissing her

“Morning my love, and yes I do have a beauty spot and you have never noticed it because I hide it with my make up” she said and that baffled me because in my opinion it enhanced her beauty.

“But why would you hide a beauty mark? If you ask me that beauty spot is the cherry on top of your beauty” I said and she blushed and pushed a fly away hair from her face.

“So Piet went to get you some clothes and am sure he’s back with them right now. I will ask Mrs Stewart to fix you breakfast and bring you the clothes.” I said and her face lit up

“But how did you know my size” she asked and I laughed

‘I estimated” I said and she shook her head

I left her and told Mrs Steward to make her some breakfast and give her the clothes that Piet had bought while I went to the office to prepare for our trip. We were not going far but meeting a man like Alex, I knew that I had to be ready...in more ways than one.

“So are the guys ready and have they been briefed?”I asked Piet when I got into my office

“Yes they have, we will be following and watching you guys closely” he said

“Yeah I don’t want the same thing that happened last time I met Alexander to happen again” I said giving him a stern look.

“I have too much to lose this time” I said and he nodded. A few minutes later Sabina was in my office, wearing the short denim dress that Piet had got her. If I hadn’t approved it, and if Piet wasn’t my closest confidant I would have had him killed the moment he sent it to me asking for approval.

But I had been dying to see that figure in it and those legs too.

“Am ready” she said and I nodded at Piet

“You know what to do” I said to Piet.

I took Sabina by the hand and led her out of the house unaware of what I was setting myself up for.

SABINA’S POV

We drove out of town for about 30 minutes and finally stopped in another mansion that resembled the one Marcus had. Clearly this Alex guys was also very rich and <Marcus seemed to have a certain history with him. I couldn’t imagine what business my father had with rich people like that.

“Are you ready?” Marcus asked as the car came to a halt and we hesitated before stepping out. For some reason Marcus had chosen to drive and refused to have anyone else drive us. It looked like we were all alone in this place and I felt like a sheep being led for slaughter.

“Yes I am, let’s do this” I said nervously and Marcus kissed me, bringing me a much needed comfort.

We walked slowly toward the huge beautiful mansion; it looked like a lot of people lived there. Outside the front of the house there were a lot of men and women that looked very strong, and they watched us cautiously as if we were their prey. Something about this didn’t sit right with me but I didn’t dare say that to Marcus, I didn’t want him thinking I was chickening out.

When we finally got to the huge double doors the two men told Marcus to leave any weapon he had with them.

“We need to search the lady too” the tall scary guy said in a cold raspy voice

“No you don’t” Marcus said giving the guy his own stern and serious look

“She can’t go in then” the guy said in finality and Marcus laughed sarcastically

“It’s ok, you can search me if you must” I responded trying to save us from the bubbling trouble

“Absolutely not, I will not be disrespected of have my woman disrespected like this” Marcus said in a deadly voice

“What is going on here” I heard a voice come from behind me and it felt and sounded like angels singing

“They don’t want to be searched boss” said the big guy

“It’s ok John they are my guests, and Marcus knows better than to try anything” he said still standing behind me, Marcus had turned to face him but I couldn’t because my heart was beating unusually fast at this point.

“But the lady...” the other guy was stopped mid-sentence

“The lady is with him and she must turn around so that I can see her face” he said and I looked at Marcus who nodded. I turned around slowly afraid of what my eyes were about to see. And what my heart was already feeling.

The minute our eyes locked, I was lost in a trance and my head was pounding as if someone was screaming loudly in it. I kept thinking of the word ‘mate’ over and over again, soon I was dizzy and the last thing I remembered was the angel telling Marcus to catch me because I was about to pass out and me wondering if he could really read minds.
