The nerd that attracted the bad boys

Chapter 11

"Damien, I don't think I should be here." I looked up at him, there was no doubt that I was scared, and I bet that Damien sensed it as well. Just the look in my eyes could give it away.

"Look Emma." He turned to face me as he lowered his view to mine. Placing both hands on my shoulders. "I would never let anything bad happen to you, do you trust me."

He looked deep in my eyes, not facing away from me.

I couldn't help it. In a weird way I trusted him. I don't know what it was, but in that moment, I trusted him with everything that was me.

"I trust you." I didn't break eye contact with him.

This gorgeous boy, no man was still holding me, comforting me in a way. Telling me that I was safe in him hands, no reassuring me.

"Ok." He nodded once and started walking forward, weird thing was that before he took a step forward, he took my hand in his and interlaced our hands.

I couldn't help but feel a small spark at his small gesture.

I mean yeah, Chase would hold my hand too but this, holding Damien's hand felt different that it kind of scared me. I felt a sort of comfort with him. I felt like it was just right.

Almost like it was meant to be.

It made me wonder if maybe, just maybe what if he felt that spark too, what if it wasn't just me.

Come on Emma, you are overthinking things again.

Damien looked back down at me, as we walked, he gave me a small smile which I returned.

"I'm here to talk to Jace." Damien spoke to the two men.

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Hot stuff." One of the guys said mockingly.

"Who's the chick?" The other guy gestured to me.

I instantly felt Damien tense up and pulled me behind him.

"Just let me give Jace what I owe him, and we can be on our way, how about that." Damien said with so much authority. The way he presented himself. As if he wasn't scared.

I on the other hand was trying not to pee in my pants.

The guy on the right opened the door and just grunted.

Fat moron.

Damien then pulled me in front of him and wrapped his arms around me keeping me close. My back was pressed tightly to his chest. I could feel my breathing adjust, finally feeling calm.

Looking around the place was a mess.

We had walked down a hall where more men stood talking and eying Damien and me. And the girls that were here, I felt sorry for them.

Once we approached a metal door the man in front of it opened it. I couldn't help but notice the tattoo on the right side of his neck spider that's what it read. He was also missing a side tooth as he grinned at me causing Damien to notice and place me behind him once more.

I clutched onto the back of his jacket. He with his other hand wrapped it around his back, holding me close to him still.

"Damien what bring you here. Came to visit an old dear friend."

I peeked from behind Damian.

This man that spoke sat behind a desk with a very slutty woman on his lap. Not like the ones that were in the hall, no she looked clean. I managed to see that the guys had a scar on his left eye. And a golden front tooth from when he spoke.
