POV
Millie
I'm sitting on the guest bed e-mailing Marlene when I'm startled by a loud banging noise coming from Chase's front door.
"Where is she prick?!" I hear someone say, oh my god, no…X?
I hear loud shuffling and doors being opened and closed and then he suddenly barges through mine.
I'm pretty sure my mouth is wide open in shock at the sight of actually seeing X here. He looks like a madman right now standing in the doorway out of breath, hair messy, and looking like he's been lacking sleep, but nonetheless absolutely handsome at the same time. This man couldn't look unattractive if he tried.
I push away my dreamy thoughts, "Wh-what are you doing here?" I say weakly.
"No Millie, the real question is what the fuck are you doing here?" he asks snakily.
Chase comes running through the door, "Millie!" he says breathlessly.
"Get the fuck out!" X says and sears his eyes into Chase, if looks could kill, he'd be 6 feet under right now.
Chase looks at me worried, more for me than for himself, and I give him a nod and a weak smile hinting for him to leave.
He slowly backs away keeping eye contact with me and X slams the door in his face without even looking back while doing it.
I stand up quickly, furious by what just happened, "What the fuck X?" I say with my arms folded across my chest.
"Don't. We're leaving, pack your shit and let's go." he demands.
"No" I say confidently.
"We can do this the hard way, or we can do this the easy way, your choice baby." he says even more confidently than me.
Why does he have to sound so sexy when he's being a dick?
"If you think, even for a second, that I'm going to leave you here with another man you are very sadly mistaken" he says grabbing my backpack off the ground.
He starts shoving things in there and I just watch him do it not knowing how to get control of the situation.
"Please," I beg and I don't even know exactly what I meant by it when I said it.
He comes up to me putting both hands on either side of my face "Baby, I'll make you deal okay? Stay with me, stay in the penthouse where you'll feel safe and no one will bother you, and if after a couple of days you want to leave then I won't stop you." he says calmly.
I sigh not knowing what to do and he senses the inner battle going on in my head.
He gently brushes his lips with mine and says "Please" I look up at his dark green eyes and whisper, "fine" like the weak lovesick girl that I am. With that, he starts packing more of my things and I help him this time.
…
After I make X wait outside, I get out of the room and sit next to Chase who's sitting on the couch in the living room. "So you're leaving huh?" he asks disappointed and it makes me feel humiliated by my weakness.
"Yeah" I say quietly.
"Millie, are you going to be okay? Is that guy safe to be around? I can call the cops and have him leave" he says.
"No, no chase. I will be fine and I'll text you every day to let you know that I am. It's only for a couple more weeks anyway. I'm really, really sorry about all of this, I'm so embarrassed." I say trying to reassure him.
He looks me dead in the eye "If you need anything Millie, and I mean anything, I will be right there." This is making me feel awful right now.
I put my hand on his and say "I know Chase, thank you." And with that, I give him a tight hug and thank him for everything that he's done for me and for being such a solid person in my life.
I say goodbye to him and leave his apartment.
