This is my first comment and I just wanna say thank you so much ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Mike
It was just self-defense..
???
In a manner of speaking it was..but Michael could never hurt me
Mike
If I may ask how do you know each other
The stranger pauses and staring at me inquisitively before his cold mask returns
???
Our father's used to do business together
That's surprising. I haven't seen Michael's father since I was a child.. To be honest I never really thought much of it
Mike
Well, is there something I can help you find!
I study him, the sharp lines of his cheeks and jaw. The dark eyes..he shakes his head
???
Just browsing.. I'm here to meet someone actually
Mike
Oh like a girlfriend or something?
The stranger leans forward, a smirk playing across his handsome face as he gets close
A thrill of heat rises to my cheeks as he stares into my eyes
Mike
What's your type, then?
???
How about you tell me your type first
I swallow, meeting his eyes head on
???
Maybe you should find that out
I response is interrupted by a scream from the alley behind the store
Mike
That's my father's voice!
But before I could even think I was out the door running around to the alleyway behind my store
I stop dead at the sight before me
Two figures in the dark suits surround a man crumpled on the ground, holding him at gunpoint
The crumpled from my father looks up his eyes widening in shock
Thomas
Mike, no... stay back
Mike
*I have to call the police*
Mike take out his phone and hold it's up
Mike
I'm calling the police
Thug
It'll be the last thing you ever do
The man growl's a hand shooting out and grabbing the front of my shirt, jerking me forward
Thug
Get out of my fucking face
something cold presses against my side I glands down to see the barrel of a gun digging into me
my throat went dry as I stare back at the man
Thomas
Mike... please... just stay out of it
Thug
Listen to the old man, kid we're under orders for 'Elias Roux'
Elias Roux an infamous mob boss known for his ruthlessness. They call him the Beast of the underworld
Mike
*we own a bookstore. Why would the mob be here*
The thug pushes me away and I slam against the brick wall behind me
Thug
Last chance. Get out of here and pretend you never saw this.. Is that clear
???
there's no need to bully the poor boy
The low gravelly voice cuts through the air like a knife... everyone freezes and I slowly turn to see my handsome customer
???
There you are...Tom I've been waiting
