Dov Adalbern
I'm to the apartment and back with some god damn clothes for 'Benny' in record time. Because regardless of what little miss fucking pain in my ass thinks. I woke up to find her nowhere in the god damn apartment. I knew she planned on going to the shop, but not while it was still fucking dark out. No five foot four female should be walking alone in the dark, whether it's early or late. So I shot my ass over here to make sure.....make sure she got here okay. When I saw some fucking dirty homeless bad standing in my shop, and unable to fucking speak or tell me where the fuck Aurelia was, when her purse and phone were on the fucking counter. I was second away from make a bloody mess and bashing his skull in. Before tiny little Aurelia screamed blood murder, spilled her coffee and made me unhand her adopted fucking homeless man.
"What are you even doing here anyways?" she hisses quietly after giving my clothes to Benny, and i listen to the faucet run as she cleans the coffee she dropped earlier.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I woke up and you were gone, and it was fucking dark out, and ....and you dont need to be fucking walking in the god damn dark Aurelia" I say angrily. Because how could she be so fucking stupid?
"It's two blocks Dov, and I fucking survived." she says, wiping angrily at the display glass.
"Next time...fucking wake one of us up. We'll walk you." I growl.
"Oh please, I don't need to be babysat for two fucking blo-"
I shut her up when I reach over, grabbing her by the jaw.
"You fucking listen to me Aurelia....you're not to walk in the dark alone...ever...again...not in this city....not even if you're going one fucking sidewalk square from our fucking apartment....you dont fucking go outside at night...or early in the fucking morning alone....you got it?" I say, my teeth gritted so hard they might break.
She just blinks, those pretty fucking green eyes staring at me in shock. She gives me a single nod.
"Got it." she says.
"And you dont fucking invite strangers into the fucking shop alone with you" I growl.
"He was cold" she says, and he fucking brown knit together, ready to argue with me on this.
"I dont give a fuck. I dont give a fuck about Benny, I dont give a fuck about any fucking stranger, they can all freeze their fucking nuts off, you DONT, INVITE them INSIDE when you're fucking ALONE" I growl at her. I grip her jaw.
"Tell me you fucking understand Aurelia." I say angrily. She grabs my hand and pushes it from her jaw.
"I understand, DOV" she bites out my name and my nostrils flare. The bathroom door opens and Benny peeks his head out and looks to us, shame heating his cheeks as he holds his soiled clothes.
"Black is your color Benny" Aurelia chirps as she walks over to him and takes the soiled clothes.
"I'll wash these up for ya, your coffee is right over there, and your bagel. " she says and Benny nods as she walks away. Standing right where she left him and he wont even meet my eyes.
"I didnt mean to cause no problems sir." he says and I scowl. Because I fucking know he didnt. I can tell he's just a man who is exactly what Aurelia said. Cold and fucking hungry.
"I'm sorry for...." I clear my throat. "for ...whatever" I say not good with apologies. But, I did feel like shit for making the poor guy piss himself. Did I regret it? No. Not when it was because I thought he'd done something to Aurelia.
"I aint planned on stealin from you neither" he says.
"I know." I say and gesture to the coffee and bagel on the counter.
"She's gonna yell atme even more if I keep you from eating or drinking your coffee." I say and Benny gives me a slight smile and step away and walk to the couch on the side of the room and take a seat.
Benny stands, sipping his coffee, closing his eyes, and I wonder when the last time he had a decent cup of coffee was. A hot anything.
Aurelia walks back out, her jeans and white cable knit sweater, and little cream colored boots, that blonde hair now swept up into a pony tail high up on her head.
"how's the coffee Benny? Is it hot enough?" she asks and Benny nods.
"It's good , real good" he nods and takes another sip.
"sit" Aurelia says, and gestures to one of the seat with the side tables near it.
"The remote is right there Benny, I'm gonna be doing some stuff in the back, but you just sit there, let me know if you need more coffee, or want another bagel...mine is in the bad if you want it." she says and Benny shakes his head.
"This, this is enough, more than enough, thank you Aurelia" he says with complete adoration for his little five foot four guardian angel.
"Dov, can you help me with something?" She asks, walking away before I can even ask and sighing as I heave myself up and follow after her.
"What?" I ask once I'm in the back.
"Nothing...I just dont want you staring at him the ENTIRE time he's eating, you make him uncomfortable" she says and crosses her arms.
"I already told him I was sorry." I grumble.
"Arent you going to be late?" she asks.
I cock my brow. "Late for what?"
"for the convention..dont you have to leave like....now?" she asks and I cock my head slightly.
"I'm....not going to the convention." I say, thinking that she had known that, thinking that she'd chosen not to go with Gavin and Bruin specifically because she wanted to stay here and annoy the fuck out of me, and drive me crazy a bit more.
"What you mean, why not?" she asks, her brows pinching.
"I never was going. Bruin and Gavin always go, I don't like going to those things." I answer her.
"Oh." she says. then looks away, chewing her lip.
"I ....I thought all three of you were going. I was....trying to be a good room mate....and not intrude on your trip together...I assumed you were going." she says and I nod.
"Guess you probably wish I would have went then" she says and I say nothing, I just stand there waiting to see what she'll say next.
"If I had you couldve had the entire apartment to yourself with Dominica all weekend." she says with a casual shrug. And I have to fight the little twitch of a smirk. Because now we BOTH knew what the other sounded like while fucking.
"Nah, she was only in town last night." I say and she looks at me and I know that's not what she wants me to say. It's not even the truth, but I also don't want her to know that I'd woud not rather be fucking Dominica than arguing with her or having her around without fucking Gavin and Bruin up her hot little ass all god damn day.
"So, you what...hook up with her whenever she is in town?" she asks and I cock my head.
"Is it really any of your business who I fuck, or why, or when?" I ask her and her lips tighten and she growls.
"No, I just...this is the first time you're fucking talking to me for more than two seconds and I just...that's the first question that popped into my head!" she throws her hands in the air. "forget it, just...go back to the apartment and-"
As she walks by I grab her arm.
"Yes. I fuck her when she's in town."I answer her question. she looks at my hand on her tiny arm in her sweater and looks up at me.
"How often is she in town?" she asks.
"Enough." I say with a slight shrug and drop my hand from her arm.
"And....she's the only one you..."
"No." I shake my head.
I watch her swallow.
"I have a few...women that I see occaisonally." I say honestly.
"Do they all look like Dominica?" she asks and I cock my brow.
"And how does she look?" I ask.
She rolls her eyes. "Like a hot tattooed super model."
My mouth threatens to twitch into a grin.
"All tall with long legs, and piercings and covered head to with art on their skin" she says.
"Most are tall. They usually have piercings or tattoos or both. Yes." I say and she nods.
"Great. Good for you." she says and then starts to walk again, I fight my smirk, and I turn and grab her arm again and she stops, turning and looking back.
"what?" she asks.
"Tall, tattooed pierced women....aren't my only type." I say, with a look, my eyes glancing down for the briefest moment and flicking back up and she swallows.
I'm so god damn frustrated sexually, last night with Dominica has done nothing to erase the night after night, of listening her get her god damn brains fucked out by Gavin or Bruin, or last night fucking BOTH. God, listening to her fuckin scream and get fucked while I buried my dick inside Dominica. It was the best fuck I'd had in awhile, but not enough . Nope my dick knew what it wanted, and it wasnt at all anything tall or anything pierced or tattooed.
"Tell Benny to be ready in an hour after his clothes dry" I tell her.
"What, why? No Dov, it's cold outside and-"
God the way her eyes instantly tear up, jesus she was so fucking sweet she made my fucking teeth hurt.
"So I can take him to the store. buy him some clothes that fit. I got a friend that's a barber, I can take him to get his hair cut and his face taken care of." I say and her eyes open, her brows lift.
"really?" she asks.
"yeah, I'll be in the office." I say. Because like hell was I leaving her here with him even if he seemed innocent enough. I didnt care, I wasnt going to leave her with a stranger no matter how good of a guy he seemed.
