14 Who are You 4.4

I feel her body go heavy on me, "Mal I don't feel so feel so good." I hear her little whimper. My lower brain now deflating I wrap my arm around her waist and rush her through the crowd of dancing drunken idiots, thank god I have been here many times before but I was facing a new problem. I couldn't take her into the men's rest room.

"Mal," I hear her groan and start gaging.

"Crap," I mutter, flinging open the girl's bathroom. I storm in not bothering the gasps and looks as I hurry Jenny to the first available stall. The floor was wet from spit drinks. And smelled of booze. Christ their bathroom is as bad as ours. I look around while I hold back her fiery red curls from falling in her face as she throws up all the alcohol in her system. Which amazes me because she hadn't had much. This woman really couldn't hold her alcohol.

Then it hit me, fuck she probably skipped meals running to and from different job sites Miranda it seems books her solid where she never has a real break. That was the first thing I noticed on my first day of the job. I had brought her food that first day forcing her to eat on the drive, however I said nothing about the importance of eating, if that's how she wanted to live her crazy ass life it was none of my business. That's what I thought, but tonight I brought her out hear forgetting that.

"Hey you. You can't be in here." A girl risking to get her face rearranged spoke up trying to sound brave. I glared at her.

"Get out, I growl. The color on her face fades she backs away slowly he and few other girls hasten toward the door. Jenny sat up a little, I hand her some toilet paper for now to wipe her mouth and face off with.

"Thanks," she mumbles her cheeks flushed. She dabs at her mouth, and tosses the cotton paper into the toilet. I flush it for her.

"Can you stand." I extend a hand offering to help her up. Her eyes were still glazed over, she took my hand. I stood holding onto her for second time tonight. This time she was wobblier as she stabilized herself. I couldn't help thinking how cute it was, she was like a little lamb learning to stand for the first time. When she got fully upright, she turned to walk toward the sink and stumbles falling into my chest. I chuckle softly. I kiss the top of her head bracing her. She looks up at me, her eyes wide with shock. Her shock makes me realize what I just did. I take a step back my hand over my mouth.

"Shit, sorry Jenny, it's the alcohol. I'll wait outside if you got the rest of this from here." I watch her nod; I couldn't tell if she was uncomfortable or confused from the alcohol. I turn and head out, the sound of the sink faucet turns on I look over my shoulder getting a glance at her. She slashes water into her flushed face. No matter how pretty a woman has ever been I have never been this messed up mentally unable to control my actions. I close the door behind me. I lean against the wall next to the door thinking about Rens words. This wasn't what he was thinking there was no way I was falling but I can't deny I was sexually arouse by her now. She might just be the wild card I need.

Thinking about it rationally if she has a stalker maybe if we pretend to date this might this might be the quickest solution. He might act rashly and show himself. The babysitting job will end and I can go back to hunting down tyrant overlords who deserve to be put out of their misery, well least the ones I'm paid to put out of their misery. I have nothing personal against them especially after serving under Ren though he was loyal to those that where loyal to him. Still this he was a tyrant as well he didn't show mercy and personally, I liked that. No bullshit. Let your guard down and they will stab you in the back. I sigh thinking up a plan to make her agree to pretend to be my girl just till we can find whoever is harassing her. I'm sure she knows but she's too afraid to say it so next best thing is to make them appear. Then I'll deal out a punishment befitting the crime.

****

I don't know what the hell's happening my heads spinning. I cup my hand Rinsing out my mouth with the water. Tastes horrible, but it helps relieve the cotton feeling in my mouth. Risking to swallow a few gulps I gag it tastes so gross but my throat doesn't scratch as bad now. I reach out for a paper towel from the dispenser hanging on the blue wall to my right. I dab at my face. I toss it in the hole between the two ceramic sinks with floral patterns and chrome faucets. I look toward the door where Maliki is waiting. I touch top of my head remembering the gentle kiss, my fingers trail down my hair. Somehow it felt so different from before thinking of him holding it back for me. I glance at the three stalls. I bite my lip. I can't believe he saw me like this. Yet he was so gentle. I glance back at the door I can't hide in here forever I don't want to make him wait after he's been such a gentleman. He even held back taking advantage of me.

I step forward reaching out to open the door to find the first man I ever thought I could truly trust. I hope I not making a mistake. He's a mystery I want to know who he is and everything about him.
