Ivan was making dinner for himself when he heard noise coming from the fire escape outside his window. He opens the window and his eyes go wide when he sees a girl climbing towards him. He was frozen in shock.
She does just that. Wrapping her arms around his waist after he got on. at hearing the engine start she jumps a bit initially but then finds the noise and hum of the bike comforting. she smiled. “Lets do this!” she spoke into the side of his helmet.
He chuckles and takes off onto the street. He weaves down the road, making sure Jinx was having fun and not being scared before they park at his work. “Time to get off.”
She laughed a bit as he swirved through the traffic. Hugging him tight. As they slowed down to park she looked up at him and slid off after he told her to do so. She pulled off her helmet and her hair fell. She looked at him, “that was so much fun!” She spoke.
She turned and noticed people were looking in her direction. “Why are they staring? I thought people weren’t supposed to stare” She asked him.
“It’s probably because I’ve never come to work with anyone before. And because you’re so pretty.” He helps her off the bike with a smiles.
She looked up at him an then st the line. “So you’re in charge of who goes inside?” She asked him stepping closer to the front entrance
He nods. “Yep. I card everyone to make sure dhey all can leagally drink and if not I put an ‘X’ on dheir hand. And if dhere super underage dhey don’t get in at all.” He explains. “Now follow me. We go in through dhe back.”
“What qualifies someone legal to drink?” She asked him. As she followed him towards the back. She almost tripped over a lip in the side walk, however she stumbled into Ivan.
The van from outside the apartment complex had spotted the red head and a man leaving on a motorcycle and figured to follow them. As they were behind them, they spotted them going into the bar. Taking the opportunity to find her inside they parked and two men both lanky in stature dressed in black casual clothes, left the van making a move to go towards the entrance to get inside.
He shrugs. “I don’t actually know.” He opens the door for her and puts her in a spare room. “It varies from country to country.” He hangs up his jacket and stretches.
She walks into the spare room and she looked around, dim lit but comfortable set up. She then turned to look up at Ivan. “What if I need to find you?” She asked. Just for knowledges sake.
“I’ll pop in on my breaks so hold any questions for when I come back.” He pauses. “But she bathroom is across dis hall with a girl on it. Go though dat door.”
She looked at him and nodded, “Okay….I’ll be here then. You promise yiucwabt love me here?” She asked him
“I’ll be back soon.” He smiles before leaving to go do his job.
Jinx watched him leave and shut the door behind him. Leaving her alone. She looked around the room and took a seat on the couch that was in the room.
The men had made it to the front of the line to get in when the bouncers switched shifts. They came face to face with Ivan, “Can we go in we are just looking for a woman.” One of them spoke to Ivan.
Ivan lifts a brow. “I need to see your IDs. No one gets in without ID.” He says, crossing his arms. “So show dhem or move.”
“Sir we’re just looking for the red head woman who came in here not that long ago.” The other spoke. And then they both fumbled with getting out their IDs. “She’s important, She’s on the run. We are just trying to bring her back to where she belongs” one explained.
He narrows his eyes and then smiles. “Why didn’t you say so. I’ll take you to her.” He says, lying perfectly through his teeth. “I put her in a back room. Follow me.”
The men looked up at him in shock but seeming excitement. “Really?” One of them asked. Though as they followed him the taller and broader of the two men looked at him. He started to slow his pace. “So how did you find the girl? We saw her come here with a man on a motorcycle. I can assume that was you….” He spoke and reached for a knife from the inside of his jacket. The other man did the same.
Jinx decided she would go to the restroom. She was on her way back from it and crossing the hall back to the back room when she spotted the men behind Ivan. “No….” she gasped and hurried into the room. Leaning against it.
“THERE SHE IS!” The shorter man exclaimed and they tried to make a move for her.
Ivan touches one of the walls and absorbs the concrete into his hand before walking one of the men in the face. He was much better at fist fighting than anything else. “You’re making a scene. I’m going to ask you to leave only one. If I have to ask again, you’ll be leaving on a stretcher or worse.” He growls.
The man who was grabbed by Ivan saw his abilities and was going to comment before panic set in and he tried to pull away. But as he got punch he gasped, his face bleeding already from the concrete impact.
The other man pushed passed Ivan, he made his way down the hall and forced open the door. Which threw jinx into the ground. As she turned to sit up the man grabbed Jinx by her hair. As he did he dragged her into the hall she tried to reach for his arm. She grabbed onto the door frame. Her grip strength forced the man to stop in his tracks. She managed to turn and use her body slamming the man into the wall. He gasped in pain. Jinx then grabbed him by his throat, “I don’t want to go back” he voice almost a growl she began to squeeze on his neck. Her other hand punched him.
Ivan knocks out the first guy fairly quick. “Hey!” he yells at the man holding Jinx. “You put her down and fight me properly you cheep bastard.” He growls, making both of his hands concrete. “Let go of her!” Ivan grabs Jinx but the waist and kicks the man away. “Jinx. We have to go.” He says, carrying her out to his bike.
Jinx nearly ready to beat the guy herself, he temper had clicked in. But before anything could happen Ivan seemed to cause her to snap out of it. He grabbed her and took her outside. Her hair a mess. “I….I’m sorry” she spoke before without hesitation she put on her helmet and slid onto the bike, and made room for Ivan to take the lead.
He hops on the bike. “No worries. Just get back on. We’re going home.” He takes off and rushes them back home. He parked his bike, gets off, and sweeps Jinx off her feet so he can take her upstairs faster.
As they arrive she stays quiet, taking her helmet off and letting him carry her up stairs back into his apartment. She looked at his chest seemingly lost in thought. Jinx wrapped her arms around his neck to help his supporting her.
He struggles to open the door but once inside he sets her down on the couch. “Are you Alright?” He asks, looking over her.
She gasps a bit as he struggled to open the door. When he set her down and asked her if she was okay she looked over, “I’m alright. He pulled my hair and grabbed my ankle was all” she spoke and looked up at him. Her ankle had the man’s hand print in it, as if it were starting to bruise some. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know they were here….that they would find me….I can leave. I’m sure I can figure things out….” she spoke her voice hitched. She felt guilty for taking his life and throwing it upside down some.
Ivan shakes his head and brings Jinx in for a hug. “Don’t say dat. You’re perfect. And I don’t want you to leave. You’re going to stay right here. I’ll never let them touch you again.” He says softly.
She blushed as he hugged her and let him hold her tight. “Then I won’t leave” she spoke softly and smiled. Feeling herself grow closer to him. “Are you going back to work?” She asked him.
“No. I’m going to stay here with you I know you can take care of yourself but I don’t want to leave you alone.” He says, petting her head softly.
She pressed closer to him and nuzzled his neck. “Will you sleep in the bed with me? I don’t want to be alone….” she asked him.
“Of course.” He says, sweeping her up into his arms again before carrying her to his room. He sets her down gently. “I’m going to change really quick. I’ll be right back.” He grabs some things from his dresser and goes into the bathroom.
She kicks off her shoes as he leaves her and she began to hum to herself. She looked at the bruises on her ankle from the man and she sighed. “Do you have something I can wear to sleep in? This dress is pretty but I don’t want to mess it up” she spoke from the bedroom out loud to him.
Ivan emerges in just some plaid sleep pants. “Sure. You can wear some of my boxers and one of my shirts. That’ll probably fit you.” He says, putting his work clothes on a chair as he goes to find something for her to wear.
“Thank you Ivan….” she spoke softly. She stood and went towards him while he searched through the dresser. “Are we still going to go out tomorrow?” She asked him curiously. She felt as though tonight may have changed his decision.
“If you want too. Daylight and lots of people might retire them.” He says, handing her some clothes. “Here. You can change in the bathroom.”
She gives a soft smile, “id like that. A lot” she spoke before she went to change. This time though she didn’t shut the door completely she did close it more then the last time. It was cracked while she stripped from her dress and slid on the shorts and T-shirt.
