Worried

Olivia's POV

“Thanks for dropping me by “. I kissed Derick on the cheek and left his car. I got to my apartment and realized I have just few minutes left for work.

I took a quick bath and changed my clothes for work .few minutes I was at the coffee shop. I changed into my uniform and started working.

A few minutes into work I heard the doorbell rang indicating someone was coming in. I look up and was shocked with whom I met eyes with .he looks around the shop with a big frown on his face before he started walking towards me. I bite my lips in fear and tried to move away, but I couldn't.

“We meet again “. He spoke with a big grin on his face.

“How may I help you “. I composed myself and spoke up, and did not want him to see fear in me.

He stared around the shop and chuckled softly

“You still haven't changed a bit”. His voice was rough and cold as always.

I took in a deep breath and stared at him

“Say what you want to say, and please leave”

“Don't tell me you are sending a customer away “.he spoke with a mischievous smile on his face.

“If you are a customer, then make your order “. I composed myself, and wouldn't let him see any fear in me.

“You think you are a tough girl, huh?”. He spoke with a little anger in his voice. I hissed and took in a deep breath.

“If you have nothing to say, then you can please leave, I have customers to attend to”. I spoke firmly.

He chuckled and stared at me with so much hatred and anger. I can see he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

“You think I can't hurt you because of my son “. He spoke angrily.

I look around and noticed few customers were looking our way.

“You are causing a scene here, please you have to leave "

He hit the table with anger, bringing the attention of all the people in the shop to us.

“No one dares tell me to leave when I don't want to “. He shouted in anger. I stared at him and realized he was furious, And I knew he was trying his best not to hurt me.

“What's going on”. My manger walked in and stared at me.

“Nothing, this man was about leaving”. I said those words while staring directly at Derrick's father.

My manager gave me a questioning look before moving his gaze to Derrick's dad.

“You look familiar”. He spoke softly and politely. Derrick's father chuckled softly and stared at me with anger.

“I am who you think I am”. He spoke in a deep, rough voice.

“Jesus Christ”. My manager scream in shock .he pushed me away and stood in front of me.

“I'm truly sorry on her behalf, please forgive her for whatever she said, she is new here and doesn't know how things work around here “.he begged Derrick's father. I roll my eyes and chuckled at his behavior, if only he knew what I have done already.

Derrick's father pushed my manager away and stood before me.

“Don't you dare think I have forgotten what you did to me, I'm Just waiting for the right time to strike you, and when that time comes my son won't be able to save you “. His voice was cold and full of threats. I swallowed nervously and move away .he groaned angrily before leaving the coffee shop. 

The moment he left the shop, all eyes were on me, including my manger.

“What was that “. He asked angrily.

“Nothing, don't worry it won't happen again “. I spoke calmly. Gone are those days I would be panicking because of his threats.

“Don't you dare say that .this man is the most dangerous man in this country, and you try to mess with him “. He spoke in anger.

I hissed and ran my fingers in my hair. 

“Don't worry about me, I will be fine”. I spoke with a smile on my face before going back to work.

I look around and noticed the customers are back to what they were doing. I hissed in relief and continued working. I thought on calling Derick and inform him of what happened today, but I decided to let it be for the time been.

Few hours later, I was through with work and left the coffee shop. I went outside and saw Derick relaxing on his car .he met eyes with me and flashed me a big smile. I felt my heart flutter and smiled back at him.

“You didn't tell me you were coming”. I spoke up .he ignored me and pulled me closer to him and sealed his lips on mine .his lips were soft and warm, and I found myself melting in his touch. He broke the kiss and I felt disappointed. He chuckled softly and kissed my cheek.

“I thought you are shy “. He spoke with a big grin on his face. I roll my eyes and got into the car .he closed the door for me and sat on the driver's seat.

“How was work today “. He asked, 

“Work was fine”. I spoke softly. Something was telling me to tell him what happened today, but I wanted to avoid causing a fight between them.

“Are you okay “. He asked when he noticed I was lost in thought.

“Yeah”. I replied with a smile .he smiled back at me and focused on the road.

Few minutes into the drive I decided to speak up, 

“Your dad, is he still angry with me “. I asked, 

He stared at me with a curious look before looking away.

“Did he say anything to you “. He asked softly, but I could see he was angry

“Of course no, I'm just curious since I haven't seen or heard anything from him “. I lied.

He hissed before speaking, 

“You don't need to worry about dad, he won't dare to touch or hurt you “. Derick said those words with all seriousness.

I smile at him and look away. there was no need of me telling him what happened today.

Few minutes we were in front of my apartment

“Thanks for dropping me off “. 

“You should stop saying that “. He frowned and kissed my cheek.

“Yes sir”. I giggled and came out of the car.

“See you tomorrow”. I smiled at him and went inside the apartment.

Aunt was on a 36-hour shift, so she wasn't at home.

I got to my room, took my bath and changed into my night wear. I lay on the bed and tried to sleep, but my thought was somewhere else.I hissed and move on the bed, but I couldn't get some sleep. I hissed and pick up my phone. I dialed a number, but it wasn't going through. This was strange because his number was away going through, 

I felt panic run through my body and I couldn't sleep anymore. I stood up from the bed and dialed his number again but still, it wasn't going through, 

I hissed and sat on the bed thinking of what might have gone wrong. So many things went through my mind and for some strange reason I became restless and scared.

I walked around my room aimlessly and still kept on calling his lines, but none were going through.

I hissed and ran my fingers in my hair in frustration. All I could think was him and how he acted strange the last time I saw him.

I felt scared and dialed the number again, and luckily this time it was ringing. I hissed in relief and waited for the call to be picked.

“Hello “.came the rough muscular voice, which l knew wasn't Rona's.

I felt my hands becoming sweaty, and I became scared.

“Who is this "

“Olivia, it's me, Mike “. He spoke calmly.

I hissed in relief and spoke up, 

“Hi Mike, where is Rona “. I asked, 

He hesitated for a while before speaking up, 

“He is really busy right now “. He spoke calmly, but I knew he was trying to hide something from me.

“Is Rona okay”. I asked scared, 

“Of course, he is just busy at the moment”. He spoke calmly.

“Mike “. I called out

“Don't worry about him Oli, he is fine, and I will ask him to call you once he is free. Goodbye, I have to hang up now”. He did not let the word finish from his mouth before he ended the call.

I hissed in frustration and threw my phone on the bed. I couldn't believe what Mike told me, something in me was telling me something was wrong and the thought of that brought a sudden fear to me and I could no longer sleep.

I hissed and kneel on the floor and said a silent prayer for rona.

I tried to get some sleep,, but it was far gone from me. I stood up from the bed and went to the kitchen to make some coffee for myself.

I sat on the kitchen chair and The thought of something happening to him made my heart clench then and there I knew I really care for this man.
