His eyes traced her face and his memory was taken back to that night in the club where he was scheduled to meet the lawyers but then exactly this same girl knocked onto him.
His hands were protectively wrapped around her small waist as she leaned her frontal completely onto his for support. She forgot the pain of the pieces of shattered glass pierced into her foot sole.
His eyes were on hers...her eyes were on his and it felt different to be close to a man like that. Her hands clutched onto the collar of his coat.
Their moment was broken off by the guards who reached the next instant and their voice of interruption made Ryan pull away from her and Alister fell back onto her feet completely and she screamed out in pain as the pieces of glass stung.
"We are so sorry sir..."
"Ahhh....ouch...ahh.."
They were interrupted by her shreik and Ryan again turned to look at her and noticed that the glass pieces had pierced right into her foot sole.
Her eyes watered as she did not know how to stand still. There was blood on the floor and more was coming out from her injured sole.
"Sir...we are sorry. We tried to stop her but she did not listen. We will clean this mess right away."
One of the guards said and strode forward to grab her. Alister could not run away anymore from the guards and looked in Ryan's way for help. Her eyes were pleading him to take her with him.
Was not it was obvious that she had come for him?? Was not it clear to him??...that she was his blind date??
But she could not help but think that why he was just standing there staring into her rather than acting and strode forward , bend down and carry her up, bridal style, leading their way of the dumb restaurant.
Ryan checked her for one last time and nodded his head approving the guards to carry on with their action.
Alister's mouth hung open as she could not help but feel why did she even think of him to carry her up or how could a maybe so insensitive not to bother even asking if the injured woman right in front of him was alright or not.
And it was at that moment, Alister realized why Blake had hired her to get an impression of the will because his brother was one insensitive, authoritative jerk.
The guards strode forward to hold her and she did not even know why she did what she did next. It was in the heat of the moment. Nevertheless, it was to help her too and help Blake in the process because now she was eager to get him his share of wealth.
"No..no..Ryan..Ryan....listen to me.."
Alister yelled out as she struggled to get away from the hold of the guards on either side.
That made Ryan stop once again but by now he was annoyed to no point. He did not even know who this stupid crazy girl was.
"No...no...Ryan..do not leave...don't leave...Ryan..."
"And who are you to order me around huh??"
Ryan spat striding forward, his eyes screaming bloody murder and that made Alister's heart thump against her chest.
He looked scary as he did not stop instead kept moving closer and closer and stood right in front of her leaving only a threadlike distance in between them.
"So who are you to order me around huh??"
He threw back his question this time right onto her face. She could feel his hot breath hitting on her overly heated face from their proximity.
"Who are you huh?? How dare you appear from nowhere all the time only to ruin my moments??"
Ryan continued as he grabbed ahold of her chin harshly. Alister did not look away from his eyes and that irked him more as nobody could dare to look into his eyes the way she was doing at the moment.
"Who are you?? Speak!!! Damnit!!"
His voice roared in the hall and that made her jerk back in fear. His eyes were deadly staring into hers. She had never come across someone like him...someone so spiteful and angry like him ever and that scared her.
When he did not get any answers, he took a step back, letting go of her chin. He then ordered the guards.
"Throw her away from whichever hole she crawled out from."
"Right away sir!!"
The guards gave him a salute with their other hand as their right hands were holding her tight on either side.
He turned back to go and the guards started to drag her away. She did not know what to do at that moment but she sure as hell wanted to make this bastard payback for treating her as nothing but like some earthworm who had no value of its own.
She felt the fire...fire to avenge her dignity. She had never been humiliated like that ever in her life and now she could also see why Blake, his own brother had to hire her to get his part of the wealth as this bastard too full of himself.
So she did what not even she could not have even thought of doing it. She broke away from the holds of guards and ran up to him without caring about her wounds...he was not too far yet.
She moved in front of him. He was taken aback by her presence yet once again but she did not give him any second to act as she pulled his face closer and hiked up on her toes and crashed her lips onto his.
It was that moment everything came to a halt....the moment froze. She held onto his hairs on the back of his head, as she pushed her lips more onto his warm-shocked ones.
When she pulled back, Ryan was looking at her and so was she. She had lost her first kiss to him and did not know how to feel about it.
The moment was cut short when the guards again caught ahold of her and she struggled again to free herself.
"Don't leave...I love you, Ryan Del Cardoso..."
