Let's go dancing

Bella

I went to hang out with Jace as planned. He was unnecessarily touchy and was acting like we were lovers or something. I just let it go, he was trying to be sweet. I should feel happy about it but I was not. I was feeling so uncomfortable but I tried my best to hide it.

It seems like he was trying to spend as much time with me as possible. I did not have much free time. I had a story to write and today is the third day that will go by without me writing anything but since he has always been so sweet to me. I decided to make the little sacrifice.

When the time was 6:35 pm I told Jace I needed to go home. I was not allowed to keep late at night. I only made an exception for Friday night since I will be with Carl in the company of a bodyguard.

The agency has offered me a bodyguard but they followed me from the shadow because I still wanted to live a normal life. There is a possibility that Mrs. Wisdom may still try to hurt me. She may not kill me but torture can be in different forms and it was best I did not even have to go through any.

Also, I could not keep the late night as it is more dangerous. Luckily the road to my apartment is very busy otherwise I would have to move to a busy road where it is more difficult to get kidnapped.

Come on Bella it only 6:36. Can't we spend a little more time together? Jace asked looking very sad. I would love to but tomorrow is Monday and I need to be in school early since my weekend was busy I need to make some preparations I said.

I understand but how about we go dancing before you leave? He suggested.

Dancing! I asked looking a bit confused.

Yes, Bella let go to a club.

No, I can't I need to be on my way I said getting up from the chair to leave but Jace stopped me and held my hand. What with him and all the unnecessary body contact I thought to myself. Just stay with me for another one hour please he begs.

Okay, I said and sat back down. No Bella let take a little walk there is a bar across the street. Bar!. What with Bar and club today I asked.

Well, I just felt we should do something different. You don't have to drink all you need to do is sit with me. I am not a good drunk so trust me it just one drink. I looked at my watch it was 6:40pm. I could stay for one more hour. No matter what I would be on my way by 8:pm because I had to be home by 9 pm for my safety.

We walked across the street to the bar. My first problem is I did not come with my car. Jace picked me up and I am not allowed to take a taxi since we could not underestimate Mrs. Wisdom. someone keeps an eye on my car when I park it. If Jace still wants to stay after an hour what will I do?

Jace orders one drink as promised but suddenly my heartbeat increases. I began to feel very uncomfortable. Something just felt wrong. I thought to myself why was I having this feeling. Maybe it was because I have had a lot of stories, of how a man can become a beast under the influence of alcohol. I took a deep breath maybe that why I was having the feeling. Would you like something to drink? Jace ask. No, I answered. Jace is behaving very strange today I thought. Is everything okay with you? I asked from nowhere. I could see Jace was surprised by the question but I just had a feeling that something is not right with him.

Not really I am just worried about you he said. Me? I asked surprised. what could make him worry about me I thought.

He took my hands from across the table. Bella, I know Carl is like every girl's idol but we both know that he is not a one-woman man. Oh…. I said. This is about Carl, is it possible he is jealous I thought.

You don't have to worry about Carl he is a very nice guy. Besides he has not said anything about a relationship I said.

Oh… he said I could see the surprise in his eyes. He got up from his chair and walked to my side. He touched my face in a very intimate way and his face was uncomfortable too close to mine that with a little move from any of us our heads will hit each other.

The touch irritated me so much that I slap his hand away from my face before I thought about it. He went back to his sir without saying anything. An awkward silence fell between us. I watch him order more drinks and glue a full cup in one go. What the hell I thought. I can't be in the same car as this guy. What can I do? I look at my watch and I was shocked by the time.

It was already 7:50 pm how did one hour finish so fast. Jace, I need to be on my way I said. He pauses for a while. Okay, let me use the restroom and then we can leave, he Said. I was surprised he did not talk like someone drunk. Even when he walked away he seemed like he was in perfect control and the alcohol had no effect on him. I took a deep breath and relax he seem fine.

15 minutes later Jace was not back from the restroom. I need to leave this place I thought. I can't be out in a bar by this time of night. It was still a bit early but it was already late for me. I looked around the room wondering if my bodyguard in the shadow was there.

Then I realized I don't even know what the person looks like. I have to know my bodyguard. How can I send a signal to him when something was going on but I couldn't talk right now because the place is so noisy.

An idea finally comes to mind. So I took out my phone and texted the guy from the agency, Mark. I sent my address and ask him to send someone to pick me up. As I press the send button. Someone drag a chair to my side and sat beside me. The action made my phone slip down from my hands.
