Sweet Little Bumblebee

Ruined date

Daisy

I've walked ahead to get a grip of my heart beats before I go crazy. Why am I such an i***t?! A bet of teasing each other? You clearly haven't thought this out Hina... Ancestors hear my plea, helo me get out of this misery!!! I suddenly felt very hot with my hair down and searched my purse. Luckily I have this with me! - I thought and with a quick movement I put my hair up in a bun and fixed it with a hanfu hairpin I got from my grandma. I loved it because it had a tiny daisy at the end with a few golden colored leaves. Luckily it matched the dress I ended up choosing. I stopped at the door and checked my reflection in the window. The dress was a copy of Andie's dress from the movie "How to lose a guy in 10 days" with a little modification, it let my back almost completely revealed. I can't believe Sonia made me buy this... Although, I do look hot! Driven by a sudden wave of confidence I've glanced over my shoulder to see if Marcus was also coming after me. I wasn't prepared for the sight in front of my eyes. He was standing still where I left him, as if a lightning struck him. His blue eyes were gazing me from head to toe and my poor heart started to race again. If it continues like this I might end up developing Cardiac arrhythmia. I took a deep breath and looked into Marcus's eyes. I nodded to him and he tilted his head. I sighed and after rolling my eyes I walked back to him.

- The play had ended. Thank you for tonight, I really enjoyed it. I guess I'll see you tomorrow in the office. - I said and turned around but Marcus grabbed my wrist.

- Where are you going? - he asked and I giggled.

- Home? I thought our date ended since I was left alone. - He looked a bit lost. What is going on? This man is a serious businessman. I see his partners going to his office sweating and all nervous all the time. Why is he acting like a shy teenager now? I couldn't help but chuckle.

- Could it be...? - I asked and with my free hand I walked my fingers up from his abs to his shoulders, and to his face before I finished my question.

- That I already won? - Marcus's expression suddenly changed and I got scared a bit. He seemed dangerous and not playful at all. I tried to step further but he grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him.

- You seem tired, I'll take you home. - he said and holding me to his side he stormed out of the opera theater. He opened the door abruptly and after I sat in he shut the door and hurried to his side. We left the parking lot with screeching heels and Marcus drove into the traffic pretty over the allowed speed limit. I grabbed the handle and fastened my seat belt.

- Mr. Kane... If I've overstepped my boundaries I'm really sorry. But please let me go. - Marcus didn't answer to me but he kept glancing at the rear view mirror and cursing in Italian. He turned his phone on and connected it to the car. He called Max and started to talk with him in Italian.

- Hey Marcus! Is the date already over? - I heard Max voice and he seemed cheerful. I suppose he is only grumpy with me...

- Max, I'm being followed.

- Take the shortcut.

- I can't. She is still with me.

- Oh f**k. Cam you loose them?

- I'll try. But get prepared just in case.

- Got it! - they hang up and Marcus's glance wondered at me. As if he remembered of something suddenly he cursed out loud and his expression hardened.

- s**t. You understood everything. - this wasn't a question. He knew I could speak Italian.

Marcus

I saw Daisy fixing her. She looked so good in her yellow dress. I should go and tell her that she looks really pretty. When her hair with some magic turned into a little bun at the top of her neck, I noticed that her dress revealed her bare back and holy lord... She was absolutely stunning. I might have made a mistake with this bet... But let's see how it ends. It could be a good thing as well. Daisy checked her reflection and looked at me, she nodded slightly but I've noticed a slight movement from the other side of the street from a black car. Two guys were keeping an eye om Daisy and these weren't my Father's men. I was thinking about how to get away when Daisy came to me and said goodbye. Nope. If she leaves now alone, she is going to die. I stopped her and technically forced her into my car. I hit the gas and left hoping to loose these motherfuckers in the traffic. I laughed at my old man or going everywhere with at least three of his trusted men, I'll have to apologize. I called Max for reinforcement and as soon as I hung up the phone with Max I remembered of the night a couple of weeks ago when I took Daisy home. She spoke Italian fluently. I looked at her terrified expression and hated my selfishness for a moment. I was the one who dragged her into this mess.

- Mr. Kane. What's going on? - she asked and tried to sound carefree, but I could distinguish her "I'm brave" and the normal cheerful voice after all these years.

- It's none of your business. - the less you know the safer you are. I thought that Daisy will stay silent but she suddenly cursed something on the mother tongue and turned to me.

- Since I got dragged into it it's my f*****g business as well! I get it that we are in trouble. Tell me how can I help!

- If you can't make us invisible, you won't be able to help. - I said laughing and suddenly it came to my mind.

- Go to the backseat. Pull the middle one and hide in the trunk.

- Excuse me? - Daisy asked and was looking at me as if I was insane.

- That part is the safest right now. I'll try to loose them but I can't guarantee that they won't shoot at us. Hide there, it's reinforced.

- I won't ask why the trunk is reinforced. - she said and did as I asked. Soon I lost the guys following us, I made a turn to one of the side streets, where Max could come to our rescue. I stopped the car and opened the trunk to let Daisy out when the black car appeared in the other side of the street. They got out of the car and pointed guns at me.

- Mr. Kane! Or should we call you Revenant?-I stood in front of the truck of the car and crossed my arms in front of my chest.

- It depends of who I'm talking to.-these two idiots laughed with their guns still pointed at me.

- Don't bother yourself with it pretty boy.- the one who drove the car said and one with the gun asked.

- Where is that sexy bich you had with you?- he had a disgusting face and golden teeth. I tried to look for tattoos or anything that could help me identify who sent these imps.

- I dropped her out a few blocks away. - I said and they laughed.

- At least she won't see you beg for your life and bleed out like a f*****g dog! - the driver said and they put their fingers on the triggers. They all had pretty expensive soundproofing on their pistols. With the noise of the city and those gadgets, no one will hear the shoots. Out of nowhere I heard the sound of a shoot, one of the guys got shot and fall back lifelessly on the ground. The other two started to look around frantically. When, boom, another one down. There was only one remaining. He aimed at me but failed when he fall on the ground with a loud shout. He was bleeding from his knee and Max walked to me.

- It took you quite long! - I pat his back and Max looked at the third guy.

- Did you have a gun? - he asked and I shook my head. Max looked around.

- Where is Daisy? - I have opened the trunk door only to see Daisy, laying on her stomach with a tiny gun, aiming at the head ot the last guy. She grinned and greeted Max without taking her finger off of the trigger.

- Hey Max! Thanks for coming! - she said cheerfully and the driver guy looked at her in pain and with anger.

- THAT b***h SHOOT ME! - he shouted and Daisy kneeled uo in the trunk, keeping the gun pointed at him.

- First of all it's milady to you, only my close friends can call me b***h. Second, you ruined our date, third, where I come from we say, " Thank you for not shooting off one of my balls!" - Max whistled and stepped on the injury of the driver with a satisfied grin as he hissed in pain.

- Who sent you? - he asked and I put my hand on his shoulder.

- Wait a second Max. - I grabbed his hand and broke his fingers saying.

- You heard the lady, apologize and say thank you.

- YOU ARE NUTS! - he screamed and spit towards Daisy saying something in a language we couldn't understand. But Daisy got out of the car and walked to him. She said something in response and stepped between his legs. We exchanged a painful glance with Max as we could definitely hear something pop before the dude lost consciousness. I looked up at the sweet, little, innocent Daisy and I remembered a fun fact of Bumblebees.
