943 Words
August unlocked the door and was pulled in by a strong set of arms and pinned against the wall.
She almost screamed her lungs out but when she saw who it was she got angry.
James looked into her eyes and let his heavy breath pour on her face.
"What are you doing in my house" she asked annoyed,
"What are you doing with Edward" he asked back,
Both staring at each other dead in the eyes.
"Since when did you start monitoring me" she asked,
"Stay away from him" he warned,
"And who are you to tell me what to do" she scuffed,
"August do not test me" he raised his voice,
"Look here James, I don't care why you are here but could you leave, I need to rest" she replied,
"Did he touch you, did he harass you" he asked,
"You are harassing me" she sneered.
Realising what he was doing, he left go of her and she threw her bag on the chair then folded her arms to look at him.
"You don't know who he is" he turned to her,
"And you do" she said,
"Yes, just stay away from him" he calmly tried to reason with her,
"I'm sorry but I can't do that" she replied,
"Do you like him?" his hands shaked a bit, his heart pounded like crazy.
"Thats none of your business" she looked away,
"Tell me" he said,
"I ain't telling you nothing" she shouted,
"August" he roared,
"Could you keep your voice down, it's late" she reverted,
"Then why were you with him" he asked scared,
"What the hell is your problem?" she yelled, tired of him asking her dumb things.
He didn't have a specific answer, he couldn't tell her that he was worried about her neither could he say that he was scared because of Edward.
"Nothing, just stay away from him"
"Why" she asked,
"Do as I say" he ordered,
"Not a chance" she answered.
He got mad again and pinned her to the wall, he looked at her soft delicate lips and abruptly kissed her.
She pushed him off and slapped him,
"Get out"
The anger that she dissipated was terrifying and he knew it was his queue to leave.
How could he have lost control like that, he feared so much that Edward must have touched her or even worse kissed her, her body being close him made him extremely hot.
He squatted behind her door after she had slammed it shut and ruffled his hair.
She was surely making him lose his cool and Edward was tempting him.
"That obnoxious i***t" she wiped her lips clean, "How dare he kiss me" she ranted out her frustration.
Seeing him in her apartment was a surprise but kissing her was more shocking.
"What can't he just stay the hell out of my life.
Of all the places, it had to be Barcelona that he would come to"
She took a shower to shake the scent of him off her body.
"Finally clean" she sighed.
She picked up her phone and called Anabel.
"Hello" Anabel said,
"Hello Anabel" she replied,
"August, how are you, why didn't you call earlier. I was worried" Anabel showed concern,
"I am so sorry, I was very busy" she apologized,
"More busy than your family" Anabel asked,
"Sorry, it will never happen again" she said,
"Hope so" Anabel replied,
"Where is Dylan?" she asked,
"Taking care of work as usual" Dylan was more studious with work than ever.
"And Kadmiel" August missed her little nephew,
"He is sleeping" Anabel replied,
"I was hoping to talk to him" she said,
"Are you sure you are okay, you know you can talk to me" Anabel notice the change in her voice,
"Am fine, it's just some jerk that annoyed me this evening" she vented,
"How does it feel to be a star" Anabel asked, she had heard how famous August was in Barcelona.
"Not great, so many ups and downs" she breathed,
"You will scale through, I trust you" Anabel encouraged her,
"I miss you guys" she pouted,
"We miss you too" Anabel replied,
"Bye"
"Bye"
A feeling of loneliness engulfed her and she held her pillow tightly, she missed them so much and wished she was with them.
So much had happened to her in a length of five years and today happened to be the worst of them all.
If she were back in Rome then Dylan and Anabel would have protected her and nothing would bother her.
They may not be her real family but they made her feel at home, Anabel's warm nature and Dylan's cold but protective nature would always put her to ease.
James drove back to the Shire Mansion but parked far from the entrance letting the downpour of rain soak his body.
He was so confused on what to do, he was hurting so much and couldn't fix it.
Kathy tried pulling the curtains down when she saw him walking slowly in the rain, she called Lucious.
"What is he doing?" Lucious asked immediately he saw James,
"I don't know, but he looks broken" she replied,
"Hmm, he has been feeling like that since the party" he said,
"Do you think it is still connected to that musician" she suggested,
"I think so" he nodded,
"He looks wasted" she was sad,
"He better sulk up, because we have a big meeting tomorrow,
why don't you take care of your son while I rest" Lucious retired to the bed,
"So now he is my son" she asked,
"You know what I mean" He closed his eyes and slept off.
