Sweet Little Bumblebee

Self defense

Daisy

I woke up to the sun shining on my face, but when I tried to stretch I felt that my movements were restricted. I've opened my eyes and saw that my ankles were tied together with a scarf, my wrists with a belt and there was something in my mouth. For a moment I've panicked. Did someone r**e me? Or kidnapped me? Oh my f*****g God I knew I should've stayed at home! I looked around and realized. I was at home. My glance wondered at the body next to me and if my mouth weren't covered I know I would've gasped out loud. Marcus was half leaning, half sitting next to me. His arms were crossed on his chest and he was still sound asleep. Okay so I'm at home, tide like an Easter Ham and Marcus is napping next to me. Just what have I done?! I didn't dare to move but I was getting very thirsty so I spit the sock I had in my mouth out and untied my wrists with my teeth. Once my hands were free I got rid of the scarf on my ankles and sneaked to my kitchen. I poured some water and drink it. My head hurt and I literally had no idea what happened last night. I wanted a coffee and some painkillers but I didn't want to wake Marcus up. I searched quickly for my phone and when I found it and read through the messages it was time to curse out loud.

- I'm definitely fired. Fantastic! - I pat myself on my shoulders and said.

- Nice job Hinagiku! Wonderful! Maybe you should start to search for a new job or just I don't know... Flee from the f*****g country! That's it! Let's go back to Japan! - I've started to collect my stuff as silent as possible while Max and Caroline gently bit the bars of their cage waiting for their breakfast and morning tour around the house.

- Sh! I cannot let you out now! - I said and their tiny noses twitched in frustration.

- Hey! I know I'm to blame but in my defense I have no ide what happened! So instead of complaining why don't you act like those little animal friends in Disney movies and help me out of the trouble!

- I don't think a new dress sewed by those rats would help you out of this. - a deep voice said and I turned slowly back only to meet Marcus's sleepy gaze. His hair was messy, his clothes wrinkled and I've never been so attracted to him ever before.

- Good morning Mr Kane! May I make you a coffee? - That's good! Let's pretend that nothing happened! Your boss and crush sleeping in your bed, you waking up tied up and him leaning against the bedroom drop frame like a book boyfriend is COMPLETELY USUAL! Just a Friday morning! As always....!

- A coffee sounds the least you can do. - he said and sat at the counter. I hurried and prepared his usual coffee in silence and placed it in front of him. I held my own mug with trembling hands and when Marcus drank his coffee he elbowed on the counter in front of me and rested his head on his hands.

- So... Daisy... I think we need to talk. - he said and I felt like my heart was trying to break out of my chest. I swallowed and bowed but I calculated badly the distance between the counter and my head hitting my forehead directly into it. I collapsed to the floor and Marcus jumped up to check if I was still alive.

- Daisy! Are you okay? - he asked and I just laughed.

- Taking the situation in consideration I think I'm where I should be! Please go ahead, I'll stay a bit longer here. Am I fired immediately or do I have two weeks before I have to leave? - Marcus shook his head. He got up and walked to my freezer, getting a bag of frozen peas out and wrapped into my kitchen cloth. Once it was done he crunched next to me and put the little bag against my forehead.

- First of all calm down. Second, you are not fired but punished you'll be and you are prohibited to go to any kind of clubs in the future. - I've blushed and felt so embarrassed.

- Mr. Kane... Could you please tell me what happened and how did I get home? Why were you in my bed and why was I tied down? - Marcus chuckled and nodded.

- I picked you up from the club and brought you home, but someone must've out molly into your drinks because by the time I got you here, you literally attacked me. - My eyes widened when I saw the hickey on his neck. I felt as I got red by embarrassment from head to toe...

- Regarding being tied down... That was self defense. I stayed because by the time you fall asleep I was too damn tired to leave.

- I'm so sorry. It'll never happen ever again! - I said and Marcus smirked at me.

- I'm sure of that, since you agreed to help me out yesterday in exchange of not firing you.

- Whatever I agreed on being drugged and drunk I accept it if you can pardon me that way and not tell to my grandparents!!! - his smile got wicked and Marcus caressed my face. I felt my jaw dropped as he said.

- I'd never betray my bride!
