perfect disaster - Raya Arona (classic romance novels txt) 📗

once again plunged deep. The man no longer made sounds. He just bled and ripped apart under Fox's knife.

Fox's thoughts returned to me, I stepped back  all I want is to protect myself  from this creature, I don't know this man, this is not the Ice King, this, not Fox ....this is monster    

"stop" I paused don't really know what to say I'm shivering panting like crazy, "don't, just don't"

god, I can't believe that I killed this man, yes he was an ass, but he didn't deserve to die like this, and that wouldn't happen if I didn't stab him, but I would be dead

ough

I can't stay here any longer, my feet take their way to the door. now, I know the source of the blood drops that hummed, the bodies were thrown behind the door bodies of bodyguards for that man

the air packed with a foul metallic smell, the smell of blood, The feeling of nausea seemed to be difficult to break. Difficult to push back and forget

I needed air. My lungs are crying for some air

"wait" his voice came from behind, and as usual calm and cold, as if nothing happened

He grabs my hand and drags me forward before I can protest that he's touching me. "let's go."

Not this again. "Where are we going?"

"We are leaving this place." 

even in this miserable situation, Fox being Fox, no one can get a straight answer from this man, He drags me along behind him down the hall, and we make our way to the back door, it was locked, but not for long 

"Wait here."

I turn my head and watch him stalk out the door, He's moving like a hunting cat grabbing something. and then I hear a snapping noise. A man slumps to the ground at Fox's feet

how did he know that we had company?

looks in my direction and gestures quickly, impulsively, for me to follow him. I do, neatly stepping over the body. "Where are we going?"

 

"to hell"

 

chapter 24... Your Man

My brain felt clogged.

 An hour later, we still hadn't spoken. Isolation fueled the depression I desperately tried to push away. The blahs tend to multiply when you are silent for long durations. I counted the bug splatters on the windshield to pass the time

I don't want to talk to him I don't know if I am angry or not with him, but what I'm sure of is that I don't want to talk to him, and for important is I don't want to review what happened there.  

but what the most itching my tongue is his name 'Chort', it sounds like short but with rich with that accent, I have never heard anyone but that man call him that name, I mean if that his real name why he hide it and you Fox instead, beside that name not American if I am right that means Fox, not American that explains why he is so fluent and natural with Russian

maybe the best is to shut it down

I have to get away from Fox, but I didn't know how. He manhandled me every time I didn't do something he asked, which, now that I thought about it, should've been a red flag  

This guy had more than anger issues.  

 he was leaning against a payphone outside my door with his back to me.  left the stolen car running and the air conditioning on, which explained my icy-cold skin, goosebumps, and hard nipples. I turned the air conditioner down a few notches to keep from getting hypothermia and cracked open the window. 

Stolen car ... not the first time and not the only thing

That's when I heard Fox talking, "yeah, but she doesn't have a bullet hole in her head. At least not yet."

What did he mean yet?
"well, we aren't exactly on friendly terms at the moment," Fox commented. "She trusts me, though. and I'm good at this."

yeah, pretty much

He paused for a second, listening to the person on the other end. "it's her call if she wants things sealed"  

yeah I can believe that as if he giving me chance to breath

"No, nobody knows anything about her, whereabouts or where she's going"

  Who the hell was he talking about?

 "yeah, Probably in another couple of hours," Fox said. "C'mon man, She's a live one. We may have to draw straws to see who gets to shoot her first." 

Then he smirks

Since that smile appeared then nothing will be good, fear jolted through me like a high-voltage shock wave. Jesus Christ. I thought for a moment that I was safe, and I was wrong, He was going to let me die. That shrewd, double-crossing bastard!

 I knew he was a weasel  

he hung up the phone and slid into the driver's seat. "Do you need to use the restroom while we're here? We have a few hours to go before we get there."

This was my last chance to escape. "Yes, I need to go," I told him, trying to keep my voice even.

"Come on," he said, undo the car wires. "I'll walk you over there."

Shit. I hoped he'd leave the keys behind. "No, that's okay. I can walk myself."

"no", He stepped out of the car and waited at the front for me to join him.

Pressing the issue would only make him suspicious. I couldn't risk him wondering what I was up to. If I managed to get away from Fox, it would be a small miracle. He had the car and, chances were, he'd come after me in the car once he figured out I was gone. I wouldn't have much of a head start unless his fresh wound could slow him down. 

Hmmm. he was too busy scoping out the area to see what I was doing, As soon as I opened the car door, the heat slapped me in the face. It was like stepping into a hot oven

"Where are we...Hell?"

"Close.Texas"

okay.!!!

I shaded my eyes and surveyed my surroundings, mindfully planning my escape route,  We inside together and stopped outside the entrance to the ladies' room. 

"Men piss faster than women do. I'll be out" Fox said

 "I want to splash my face with some water while I'm in there. so  it'll take me a few extra minutes."

"Two minutes. Don't make me come in there to get you."

His threat irritated me, but I smiled agreeably. "Okay" 

 I walked into the bathroom but stood by the door listening to Fox's shoes clomp away. When I could no longer hear him, I peeked out to be sure he left.he was nowhere in sight, I scuttled out the door.

The moment I got outside, I sprinted for the highway. Traffic zoomed steadily by, and I had to wait for an opening to cross. I looked back and saw Fox come out of the building. He looked my direction, spotting me.

Gulp. It was now or never.  

I had an overwhelming sense of imminent danger, I shot across the highway and climbed over the concrete divider, but had to stop and wait for more vehicles to pass. that idiot made it out to the highway quicker than I did but still had to wait for his chance to pass. 

Without wasting any more time, I ran away, A white car headed straight for me the car barely slowed, zigzagged around. I rushed to the shoulder of the road and observed Fox jumping the concrete divider.  

He caught up quickly, tackled me to the ground, and straddled my waist. I immediately became eager to fight, swinging my arms and trying to scratch out his face, but he captured and pinned my wrists above my head. His red face lit with fury, his eyes filled with hostility.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"you"

I pulled my head up and tried to bite his arm.

Fox flicked me on the nose. Hard. "Damn you, if you don't stop trying to bite me, I swear I'm going to cut off your head"

all i heard is he wanted to cut off my head. "Help! He's going to kill me! Help me! Help—"

Fox muzzled me with his hand over my mouth, he seemed confused. "What the fuck's your problem?"

I started to cry, which shocked him into removing his hand from my mouth. "Please... don't kill me!" I begged.

"Is the heat fucked up your brain?"

sniffled. "You said you were going to shoot me."

"What?" Fox relaxed his grip on my wrists and allowed me to pull them free as he eased off me. We both dripped with sweat.

"listen if I want to kill you, you won't breathing now and from a long time ago, okay" 

I pull my eyes to him, he was creepy calm and no longer angry which is weird usually his temper  like a bomb fuse 

"and that man in the bath-" 

"he deserved it" like if he doesn't want to bring this subject up, that explains the silence all this time

"Look princess, I have never pulled the trigger thoughtless or without caring about the consequences of an action"  

"so why I'm here then" he grunted in annoyance declaring a dead end, He rubbed at his temples, then ran his hand through his unruly hair. "Come on.  not again"

"No"

"I need to know why you took me if you don't want to kill me or sell me or whatever your hobbies were, so why you took me in the first place, we need to put this on light because I'm losing it and feel like I'm going crazy I can't handle-"

"because someone hires me to do this shit"

blink

what was the hell's that?

"come again"

"your dad hired me"

Eyeing Fox with uncertainty.

Blink'

once'

twice'

I burst into hysterics, breaking the serious pause, he looks at me and like that poor girl lost her mind god, he paints that serious face how he does this

"That was really good I will give you a star for it, okay enough let's go I need to pee I didn't pee" and get up ignoring his face

"What's so funny?"

"man, I could never think about something good as 'my father hired you'" I paused and stepped back to him, I don't want to mess it to you but you don't know me, us or my dad, we can't hire chicken for eggs"

with that I gave him my shoulder and walk back to the building, I'm more upset, I mean seriously, what he was thinking that I am five and I will go with that lie, yes maybe I'm naïve stupid simple but not that much to go with everything.

"How can you live with this shitty brain?" , his voice came from behind, full of annoyance, welcome to the party then.

"Coexistence, as doing with you"

 

*************************

 

Fox was already outside the bathroom look around taking a shot hopefully can find a phone, I need to call Mathew he is the only one I trust and the only one can get me out of here, but still can't find any, the one in the reception the old lady was about to shoot me. and there's no supermarket I am in the middle of hell. no even gas station, he chooses this place on purpose. 

when I came out he was already out. Guess his theory was right men do piss faster than women do.

What caught my eye that he wasn't alone there is a man in his middle age and tanned, I stopped watching, Fox slipped under the vehicle for a few seconds. Then he slid back out and popped open the hood, while
