I quickly sat down, unable to settle into the couch due to the nerves that were keeping me on edge.
So many thoughts were going through my mind. Why in the world had Danny met with Sebastian King before?
> The blonde haired man stated, eyeing me.
The sound of his voice tore me away from my thoughts, and I jerked forwards, nearly falling off the couch in the process. I could have sworn that I saw a ghost smile shadow over his lips as he made his way over to me. Crouching in front of me, I refused to flinch away from him, not wanting so show him how scared I really was.
>
The guy surprised me by laughing, and sat down next to me, throwing his arm behind me.
«You should have known the same thing about Sebastian King. >>
I internally winced at the sound of his name and bit my lip, growing very uneasy by the minute.
« You're lucky he didn't kill you right then, >> he admitted, turning his head to face me.
my voice was soft and barely audible.
> I snapped in annoyance.
He laughed before shrugging, >
Fed up with the guy, I pushed my body as far away from his as possible, not wanting to be near him anymore.
> I finally asked, after realizing that I had absolutely no idea who he was.
He raised his brow in disbelief. « You don't know who I am? »
> I muttered, shrugging my shoulders like it wasn't a big deal.
his eyes glinted and he leaned back into the couch, obviously happy with himself.
> I spoke quietly, almost to myself as I made the realization.
I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen it before. Mason and Callum were the next in the ranks after Sebastian, and were always by his side, known for assisting him while taking down gangs and finishing up jobs. The three of them were indestructible.
Now aware of whom the man really was, I found myself moving further away, pressing my body up against the arm of the couch.
>
> Callum asked, moving closer and closer. >
Remaining void of emotion, I deepened my glare. >
His lips twisted in a sinister sneer, and he opened his mouth, ready to snap at me and most likely threaten my life.
> I felt the color drain from my face at the sound of Sebastian's voice. Standing up, I whipped around, to face the rest of the guys.
« Danny, mind telling me what's going on? » My voice was cold and harsh, and I found my anger getting the best of me.
>
Danny was never quiet and nervous, and I felt the anxiety building up in the pit of my stomach.
Moving around the couch, I slowly made my way over to Danny, careful to not get too close to Sebastian. Moving past them all, I followed Danny down the hall and into his office. The second the door closed, I allowed myself to finally breathe.
>
> I asked sarcastically, >
>
I faltered, confusion and concern taking over.
Danny looked down, licking his lips nervously. > > Danny's eyes met mine and a pleading look flashed through his eyes.
>
> Danny ran his hand through his hair, looking around the room frantically.
His eyes met mine, >
I collapsed into the chair behind me, a whirlwind of emotions numbing me to the bone.
> Danny whispered, >
My head snapped up and I met Danny's guilty eyes.
