Chapter 29
Angela was so fast, that Leo couldn't get a hold of her...he couldn't catch her. Why was he still after her? She asks herself.
She runs as fast as her tiny legs could carry her, her heart thumping hard against her chest as though it might jump out at any time.
There's nothing in this world as scary as fear. It encompasses so many things and make you do what you ought not to ordinarily.
The mere thinking if it alone is enough to drive one crazy.
Just as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, there are other things that has their different impact on people as well as how people react to it.
Is it that she's scared of him or is she just trying to get away from harm?
Just as luck would have it, she runs into Dimitri while still trying to get away from Leo. He stopped her from running and turned around with her to face Leo when he sees him.
He was her saving grace.
What would she have done if he hadn't showed up right at that moment?
She was feeling weak all over. Her body ached, her heart ached, her muscles all ached and so did her head.
Her legs wimble as she hid behind Dimitri, using him as a shade. Her tiny legs were trembling behind him also.He's quite tall so she wasn't able to see Leo anymore. It's better than way for her and gave her time to relax
Her breath rattled and her body shook while she tried to catch her breath and regain herself.
She preferred it that way and wished he would just go away, but that wasn't so.
Leo stopped too, with a wide grin on his face as he stepped forward majestically to come meet Dimitri face to face. His bold and cold aura always dintinguishing him, as he gives off the bad boy aura...the bad boy that he is.
His cold gaze hovering all around the both of them. She has hidden and he couldn't see her. Her small fragile figure hid behind the one she knew was her saviour from th monster that had been chasing over her. Leo knew he's that monster.
He's like a nightmare and a bad memory she wanna get rid of so badly. He's tormenting her and making life not so worth living for her...unbearable even.
He's a nightmare and somehow, she knows she's surely gonna wake up from it someday, maybe that day was closeby or maybe it was here already.
She thought about it all as she stared at Dimitri and then Leo
" I can see you're trying to act like some sort of superhero, but I have to warn you, stay away from Angela. She's mine and mine alone to have" he said sternly, sending the message as a strong warning. His eyes and tone were stern and his face was as hard as a rock.
Angela doesn't seems to understand what he really wants to her?
Hw claims to want her, then why is he hurting her so much? Why's he being so cruel and heartless to her?
Boys are usually very kind, caring, and tender to those they love, especially the woman they love.
Why's she even thinking this? Not hat he loves her, but then, what exactly is it that he feels for her? What exactly is it that he wants from her.
Does she owe him something and he's trying to make her pay, or does he just take pleasure in seeing her suffer so much, if that is the case, then why?
What has she done to him to deserve all this mean and ill treatment from him? What...just what?
She reminisced over all this things, but still, what Leo said, didn't scare Dimitri or do anything to shake the strong hold he was having on Angela's hand.
He smiled in return and laughs too, as he stepped forward to give his reply
" She's mine now, and am now her man. There's nothing I can do about it" Dimitri replied in a demeaning tone, as he laughs over it.
It wasn't that funny, he just wanted to piss off Leo...to piss the hell out of him
Leo has a temper and that would surely get to him, and it was right as this got Leo so angry, then he threw his already fisted palm to Dimitri's face in an attack despite his injury, but Dimitri was fast enough to dodge it. A fight broke out which Angela tried by all means possible to separate as she couldn't watch them
" Stop, please stop" she screamed at the top of her voice, hovering all around them like a little hawk.
Her tiny voice could only yell out not to loud, and she had to yell and scream at the top of her voice.
She bickered and tried to separate, but how can she possibly make two grown guys to stop fighting.
Do they really have to fight all the time...anytime they meet? It's gradually becoming an habit..one she didn't like
How can she like it when it's because of her.
She doesn't want them to keep getting into fights because of her.
She struggled and did her best to make them let go of eachother
Dimitri and Leo paid dead ears to her screams and pleas. They had no intentionally of stopping anytime soon, as they are so caught up in the fight.
Angela didn't stop trying to make them stop, she didn't want them to fight and did everything possible to stop it, they never listened to her but when Leo saw he was losing, he backed off and left.
That was a good choice though, and he seemed a little bitter about it.
He could have lost and that would have brought down his ego. He sure did a good thing walking away like that.
How else would the fight has ended? Neither of them wanted to think about how the outcome would have looked like or even imagine it.
Like the saying goes " there's always an end to everything that has a beginning" , be it good or bad.
But then, we have a choice to make the good one stay and that it never ends. Good things are meant to stay in people's lives and not to be gotten rid of .
The look on his face was something else and he definitely looks like someone that could kill anything or anyone that cross paths with him. He looked dangerously angry and out of control, both Angela and Dimitri feared for him.
They feared he would harm himself or worse, harm someone else, but there's nothing they can do about that. Not like they can follow him to prevent him from doing anything out of the ordinary or anything rash
Alot has been going on in Angela's life lately and the thoughts of him keeps on popping up, not in a good way and not because he's too good or make her feel good, it was actually the opposite. He makes her feel horrible and scared.
That's no way to make a lady feel, it's so absurd, that any time she thinks about it or any time her mind goes to him, her body always react in a strange way to it.
Her body always cringe and there's always this cold air that washed through her, it wasn't anything..She is scared, scared of the monster that has only one motive in mind for her - to hurt her and make her life miserable.
There's no way she would give in or succumb to that, even though; it would have been difficult still for her, for the fact that she would have to deal with him alone, but now, she's no longer scared; she now have Dimitri and the thoughts that he's ready tod fight Leo for her any time, any day, only endears him more and more to her heart.
He's willing to fight and sacrifice alot of her. He doesn't seem to be scared of Leo and the rugged look he always have on, this made her even more happy, as she have absolutely nothing to worry about, for as long as she have Dimitri, then she was safe to an extent.
He's her knight in shining armor, and the thoughts of him always bring butterflies to her belly, and she always want to sing out sweet songs in excitement and happiness.
Is this love?
Jeez! Whys she even thinking of that in a situation like this?
She snapped her mind out of it and returned back to reality.
So..when Dimitri has calmed down, he turned to Angela and embraced her, making her cool down a bit.
The moment has been tensed and exhausting for her and she really needed the hug.
It's like Dimitri had read her mind as he was quick to act that way, and relax her of the hassle she just went through. She didn't have the will and strength to nag at him for getting into a fight with Leo.
She wanted so much to nag at him, yell at him and ask him why he did what he did, but as soon as he hugged her, she lost the will to do that, all her anger dissolved and melted for him, as all she could think of was his scent that filled her nostrils.
She didn't even wish for the hug to end again. She kinda like the way he engulfed her, and the way he softly caressed her body.
She relaxed in his arms and they stayed that way for sometime before breaking off the hug.
Dimitri offered to escort her home and they set out on the journey to her house.
He held her hands and they walked along the lonely path to her house. They walked for a while till they finally got there.
On getting home, Angela went inside to meet her mom who had been so worried.
She got up immediately Angela walked in, and hugged her immediately
Angela was taken aback by her actions.
" Oh dear, where have you been?. I was so worried?" she asked in a calm tone as she seems to have relaxed a little bit.
" Where are you coming from?" she broke off the hug and asked again.
Angela looked at her with a smile.
" I was at Debbie's house. I'm so sorry I didn't call to in...."
" Debbie? Which Debbie? I contacted all your friends and none of them said you were with them. They were even worried sick as I was when I told them you weren't home" Becca said, looking at her daughter's eyes to fathom what the problem really is.
Time seems to stop ticking at that time and seeing that she has been caught and had no other reason to lie, Angela still couldn't bring herself to tell her Mom she had been abducted by Leo.
Hell would surely break loose and she's gonna avoid that at any cost. She decided to think and come up with something fast to tell her and convince her mom with.
She thought for a while and suddenly came up with an excuse while racking her brain.
" Uhm...I slept over at Dimitri's place as I couldn't come back home when we got back late" she lied, hoping her mom would buy the lie she has cooked up
Becca's was silent for a minute or so before she finally spoke up
" This Dimitri of a guy, is he your mate?" she asked her daughter the question that has been on her mind ever since
" I dunno yet mom. I dunno if he is" came Angela's reply
Becca heaved a sigh before turning to look at her daughter in the eyes again
" Look at me Angela. You have to be carefully...very careful and stay off whosoever is not your mate and act careful too, alright " her mom said in an advice which Angela forcefully accepts.
