Chapter 5 – Take You To My House

Third Person POV

His jaw tightened as he watched her slim and fit body move in the slow music, how she graze her fingertips on her fair and delicate skin, her hips swayed, he just can’t take his eyes off her as if Kiara’s movements were hypnotizing him. And her eyes, he can now clearly see them since her eyeglasses were removed and she is wearing clear contacts, her beautiful face, he just can’t stop himself to marvel at her. He sipped on his glass of rum and continued staring, taking all her actions in registration in his mind, getting pulled with her seductive moves.

But he hate it. He hate it that she is doing this job, he hate it that somebody else were seeing what he sees, that somebody else might be thinking of rubbing themselves on her delicate body. And that thin piece of clothing that barely covers her, does she have to wear that? Phoenix was not used to seeing Kiara wear such a type of clothes since he always saw her in school with body-covering clothes, tee shirt, sweatshirt, hoodie, long sleeves, cardigan, casual tops and blouse, and tight jeans, tho there was one time that she was looking so stressed with all her plates and papers on her hand and she entered the school in her sweater and sweatpants with a pair of sneakers and a messy bun, very carefree. She just does not care about her appearance that much since like she said, school is a place to learn and study and not a fashion runway.

One drunk man stood up and went to the dancing ladies, and then all of a sudden, the man grabbed Kiara’s arm and pulled her closer to his body. It was against the rules and Kiara does not want it. Her only duty was to dance and not to do what the man’s lust wants.

Kiara pushed the man away but it did not work.

“Hello dear, want to come with me, tonight?” the man whispered.

“Let me go!” Kiara said sternly, pulling back her arm and the other ladies also stopped on dancing already.

“Sir, that is not allowed here, please let her go.” Lea interceded since she is a bit older and experienced in the job than Kiara.

But the man did not listen and threatened them instead that he will have them fired if they meddle. He tried to drag Kiara out and go to a room, and Kiara fought but it was futile. Lea gestured Hila to go call for Madame to sort the problem while Lea stays with Kiara inside.

“Come on, Miss, we will just have some fun.” The man said again, pulling Kiara’s arm.

“Luke, she does not want you. Stop it.” a man from the couch uttered while the others did not bother.

“She just needs money anyway. I can pay you more than what you are getting here in a year.” The man named Luke offered, but Kiara glared at him, wanting to slap him so bad but she fears that she might get fired for hurting a client.

“Hands off me, Sir.” Kiara warned sternly, thinking that if this man make a wrong move on her and touch her other parts of the body or force her to do something, she would not hesitate to take off his high and pointed heels and slam it on his head. She knows that that would hurt so much considering the length of the pointed heels and the elevation of the front part of the shoes. She might even be able to make his head bleed with a right force.

“Oh really? What would you do?”

Even before she was able to bend and remove her shoes to threaten the man, Phoenix already stood up from his seat and placed his glass down on the table. He came into the light of the dance floor and then Kiara turned to the figure approaching her.

Phoenix grabbed her arm and glared at Luke.

“Alright, she is all yours, man.” Luke said and surrendered putting his hands up.

Kiara looked at Phoenix and immediately recognized him, her eyes widened in surprise as her body went frozen, her dignity completely shattering to the floor, and she was then engulfed with shame.

‘Why? What is he doing here?!’ She asked in her mind hysterically.

When she had the guts to move already she tried to pull her arm away from him, but Phoenix gripped it tighter and warned her through his glare to stop protesting. He dragged her out of the room and Lea was not able to say anything anymore since she was also shocked to see the bachelor.

Phoenix’s steps were wide and fast, and Kiara was struggling to catch up because of her high heels as she was getting dragged by the arm.

“S-sir. It hurts.” Kiara complained because of the tightness of his grip on her.

Hila and Madame looked at Kiara and Phoenix and she was about to stop them thinking that Phoenix was forcing Kiara to do something.

“I know her.” Phoenix just uttered to Madame Tel so she did not intercede anymore as she just looked at Kiara getting drag. And since Kiara was not screaming for help, Madame Tel thought that she is in good hands.

“Where are you clothes?” Phoenix asked Kiara.

“Sir, I need to go back to work.” Kiara said.

“WHERE. ARE. YOUR. CLOTHES.” Phoenix asked firmly.

“I-in the locker, sir.”

“Go get changed and I will take you to your house.”

“I have to work, sir.”

“Go get your things and we will talk… Or do you want your school to talk to you instead?” Phoenix threatened and Kiara went stiff.

“Please, sir, no. Please. I need this.” Kiara pleaded, not wanting the school to know about her job because if they do, they might take away all her credits as an outstanding student and an officer of the student council, which she would need after graduation because they are additional proof of excellence.

“Just let me work for now, sir.”

“No. You are going home.”

“I am 22, sir! I am not a baby! I will go home when I want to… All I am asking is for you not to meddle in my work.” Kiara said, firmly.

“Fine then, I will take you to my house.” Phoenix uttered and smirked at her as he immediately scooped Kiara and placed her on his shoulder, carrying her like a very light sack of goods.
