The Assistant(123)

“Go to hell,” I spat, trying to worm myself out of his grip.

“Not without having my way with you first.” His other arm began to encircle itself around my waist as he trapped both my arms in a death grip with one hand.

“I’ll try not being too rough.” He chuckled, before I felt his stiff lips come into contact with my neck.

I instantly began to wrench my way out of his grip again, making him pull away with a frustrated growl. “If you try to f*cking move one more time, I’ll use more than my hands to keep you in place.” He snarled, before I felt a stinging pain pulse through my right cheek.

I let out a pained scream before my lips became muffled by a pair of stiff ones. Tears instantly sprang to my eyes and David’s lips forcefully moved against mine in an attempt to get a response back, but I pressed my lips tightly together to keep them from touching his and to help with keeping the tears as concealed as possible.

David pulled away, looking even angrier than before, before his phone began to vibrate in his suit jacket pocket. Unexpectedly, he shoved me against the wall; making my head bang against the tough brick roughly as he pinned me down and answered the call. “What do you want?” he snarled harshly into the phone.

Muffled voices spoke at a rapid pace before David’s pissed-off expression transformed to one of worry. “I’ll be there in 5 minutes. Stall them.” He pressed the ‘end call’ button and shoved the phone pack into his pocket in frustration, before meeting my eyes again. “Looks like it’s your lucky day, Sunshine. I have to go and take care of a little problem downstairs. I’ll be back soon.”

He forced another kiss onto my lips before roughly pushing me back against the wall and leaving the hotel room completely.

I stared at the door in shock for a few moments before the tears I had been trying to keep in for the past week instantly burst out of my eyes; forming a puddle on my cheeks as the sobs took over my body entirely.

I slid down to the floor and pulled my knees into my body as I tried to control the overwhelming feelings of sadness and defeat that were controlling the tears coming out of my eye sockets. What would Adrian think or do once he finds out?

A loud commotion suddenly sounded from the other side of the door; making me scramble to my feet instantly in fear as all my thoughts were put on hold in the back of my mind already.

Was he already back? My mind instantly set into panic mode as I backed away from the door as far as I could as the silver knob twisted.

He walked in with an angered expression that instantly dropped once his gaze settled on me again. My heart stopped beating and I blinked back in shock.


“The name’s Bond. James Bond.”

“Adrian,” I breathed in disbelief, looking him over once more to make sure his presence was real.

“Come on, Shortcake, you could’ve gone along with it! You know, since I actually did some investigating and all.” He sent an arrogant grin in my direction before stepping out of the doorway.

“Actually,” a new but familiar voice added, “I did all the investigating while you were an annoying, whiny little brat that was sulking about not having Emily around the entire time,” Allen brought up flatly.

“Shut up mate,” Adrian replied, flipping Allen off before bringing his attention back to me. He lifted up his arms and raised an eyebrow. “Well? Don’t I at least get a hug? Honestly Shortcake, I’m feeling like this whole missing each other thing is really one sided at the moment; and we all know how false that statement is.”

“This is the part where Emily rolls her eyes and says ‘still the same egotistical *, even after just finding his hot girlfriend after a week’, and then we all agree, and then you two kiss and we get out of this creepy hotel room. Seriously it looks like it was taken out of the Victorian Era and placed into the 21st century. Does this guy have any decent taste in furnisher?” Another familiar voice asked in revulsion.

My eyes left Adrian’s smiling face as they found their way to Amy’s disgusted expression as she poked at the flower patterned sofa she was standing beside. She looked up at me and her expression instantly fell into a lazy grin. “Hurry up and hug your boyfriend before he starts whining again.”

Allen groaned. “Don’t get him started on that. He’ll start describing how he hugs her again and what parts he squeezes just to make her gasp and get turned on which initially leads to them having sex.”

“He did what?!” I exclaimed with wide eyes, looking over to Adrian with a mortified expression.

“I missed you?” he tried with a sheepish grin.

I felt the corners of my mouth pull up into a grin before running into his arms, wrapping my legs around his hips and pulling him in for a long, lingering kiss on the lips.

Allen and Amy instantly began groaning at our kiss, and we pulled away laughing.

“How did you find me?” I asked curiously as Adrian’s grip tightened itself around my waist once we pulled away.

“That f*cking idiot left his location accuracy on when he sent a super creepy photo of you sleeping before we found you. We tracked it straight away and walked in just as David left.” Adrian scoffed arrogantly as we both tried to get our breathing under control again.

“Thank you.” I breathed, tightening my own grip around his torso as I buried my face into the crook of his neck
