Nine

"G-good evening gentlemen. Can I get your orders now or do you need more time?" I feel those deep ocean blue eyes staring at me.

"Boys,leave the booth..." Was the familiar tattooed man's reply as all the others left.

My eyes found his forearms which were covered in tatooes as expected.

But so were the back of his palms and fingers.

"Have a seat angel..." His voice sent familiar chills down my spine much like to Mr Romanov's effect on me.

Mr Romanov, I wonder if he's OK? I haven't seen him since I came in tonight.

"I...I can't sir. I have to take your orders first.."

"Then I order you to take a seat..." I nodded and took a seat.

"Why did you save me baby prince?..." I looked up at him only to find him looking at me.

"W-what? Is that what this is about?..." He nods and I gulp.

"I didn't want to see you hurt sir. I'm sorry if this weirds you out but it disturbed me to see you hurt like that. It even disturbs me how I cared for a complete stranger so much...." I voiced my thoughts as I see him state at me long enough to know I was being honest.

"Can you tell me your name?..." He asks.

"Something tells me you already know. But you still want to confirm it that I'd be trusting enough to tell you my name, so its Callum. My name is Callum sir..." He smirks at my response.

"You interest me baby boy..." He says making my little side push through but I push it away and focus on task st hand.

"Apparently I happen to interest someone else too..." I say more to myself remembering the words Mr Romanov told me yesterday night and today too.

"Who?!" He growls . oops! Said it out loud....again.

"That's none of your concern Mr...-"

"Coltonovosky. But for short, Coltonov" I nod.

"Can I get your order now...Mr Coltonov?" He nods and puts down his order.

Mostly Italian dishes.

I returned back with a bottle of rare Italian wine he ordered and soon I leave but he gives me his business card.

"If you need anything. Just call me baby boy..." He says standing up after he's done. At the same time,all the other booths emptied.

He pecks my cheek making my face burn bright with a blush.

His warmth and scent of cologne drifts to my nostrils and I almost lean in if it went for the thundering footsteps of .....Mr Romanov?!

Where the hell was he?

"Mr Coltonovosky..." He says as he scowls at him but Mr Coltonov smirks I'm return.

"Xavier Romanov. Good to see you..." Mr Coltonov smirks as the man scowls more.

"Can't say the same for you.." They come face to face and only then do I notice that they're standing at the same height and same muscular physique seen only Mr Coltonov is covered in tatooes while Mr Romanov isn't.

"Callum. In my office,NOW" i nod as I looked back at Mr Coltonov who looks at me before I leave.

I wait in anticipation for what's to happen.

The door opens, Mr Romanov or should I mean Xavier Romanov walks in shutting the door then locking it.

He takes a seat at behind the study desk and curls his finger for me to get closer.

"Come here Callum..." He says and I inch closer by his side.

He pulls me down on his lap and looks at me.

It doesn't feel weird. At all.

My chest starts aching and I lean into him until my forehead is resting on his broad shoulder.

He rubs my back soothingly and the ache in my chest deepens more.

I breathed out heavy and fast.

"Ow..." I whimpered in pain as I clutched my chest.

"What's wrong little one..." He asks as I shake my head feeling myself slip slowly into little headspace.

"Da huwrts..." I sniffled and lean into him.

He looked shocked but stands up.

"Ok baby boy. You wanna bottle?pacci?stuffie?" He asks and I shook my head as I can't control my tears flowing down my pink cheeks.

"Sweep da. Cawum wan sweep..." I mumbled before I feel myself succumbed into darkness.
