Oye stood in front of her apartment waiting for her ride. She’d been given a packet with the information she needed and was currently leaning against the iron gate that surrounded her apartment complex. She flipped through her new profile to pass time. She was supposed to play an empty-headed model/bartender, great.
Good thing Lanias had packed her bag that sat ominously at her feet. She was similar to Sabina in fashion taste as they both believed that simple was better. She liked her jeans, boots and cropped shirts. She only changed her style when it got colder. The door to her apartment suddenly slammed open.
“Jessie. I already told you it’s over.”
A woman screamed, as she shoved at a man who continued grabbing at her arm. “Stop, let go.”
“Come on, Becca. Give me another chance.” Jessie apparently, wasn’t getting that the woman wanted nothing to do with him. “I swear she was no one to me.”
They reached the landing, and Oye tried to feign ignorance; she really didn’t want to get involved with her neighbors.
“No,” Becca voice warbled slightly, as she jerked her hand out of Jessies. “I am done, I can’t do this anymore.”
She turned to walk away, and once more Jessie proved too stupid to let go. “Dammit, Becca, listen to me.” He grabbed her wrist and jerked her around, she winced. “Listen to me.”
She pulled at her hand, “Owe, let go. You’re hurting me.” She cringed as he closed the space between them.
He reached up to touch her face. Oye grabbed his wrist, stopping his movement. “She said you’re hurting her.”
Oye really hated getting into the business of humans. Now she wasn’t like Lanias, who looked at humans with disgust. But she typically left them to live the life they wanted.
“Who the fuck are you?” The man’s face was red, as he attempted to jerk his hand out of Oye’s hold but failed. Obviously pissed, he couldn’t break Oye’s grasp. He roughly let go of his girlfriend who staggered back.
“Are you not going to let go,” he demanded threateningly.
Oye ignored him and turned her attention to Becca who was rubbing her wrist. “Do you want me to let him go?”
Seeming to be taken aback by Oye’s question, she gave a jerky nod. “Y-Yes.”
With a short nod, Oye released his wrist while shoving him. He let out a surprise yelp and fell back two steps. “I don’t care what you do in your apartment, but don’t do shit like this where people can see it.”
She then looked at Becca. “Love is nice, but either stay with him or leave him. You’re just as much to blame for this as he is.” The woman lowered her face, clearly embarrassed.
Shooting one more glance in the direction of Becca’s boyfriend, she went to walk away.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?”
She’d barely turned back around when a rod lifted between her and Jessie. His fist slammed right into it.
“Jessie,” Becca yelled as he fell to the ground holding his wrist in pain. “Baby are you okay?”
She glared at the man who now stood between Oye and her. “What’s wrong with you?”
The man’s blue eyes were filled with amusement as he lowered the metallic rod to the ground and brushed a be-ringed free hand through his blond hair. “Why nothing darling, I just had a hypothesis that needed answering,” he said playfully. “Would your boyfriend’s wrist break or sprain, after he slammed it into a metal rod?” He lifted said rod and waved it back and forth, “Apparently I was wrong in my thinking. My goal should have been to break it.” His voice turned rough as he lashed out with his foot, kicking Jessie square in the chest.
Becca released another scream going to his side. “Stop, just stop.”
Oye who’d been in shock finally acted and grabbed his shoulder. “Castian, that’s enough.”
He tensed at her touch and slowly turned his attention to her. His eyes were filled with the desire to do more harm. This time she didn’t retreat, “It’s enough.”
He searched her face, before a voice that was devoid of anything, but possessiveness spoke.“Beautiful.”
Taken aback by his words, she released his arm abruptly. “C-Castian?”
He straightened, the vicious intent disappearing from his eyes as he retreated a step from her. He looked from the rod to the male on the ground still cradling his wrist. “If I ever see you attempt harming her again, I’ll break every bloody bone in your body. Savvy?”
With that, he spoke to Oye with his back still to her. “My cars out front, let’s go.”
