Promise Letters

CHAPTER 11

GIVEON

I observed Evans, wondering if he had a death wish or something, coming here to speak such nonsense.

But then again it was more important for me to get the information I needed than to let my emotions get the better of me.

" And why is that?"

He frowned. "You don't need to know. I am sure she is going around trying to pitch herself. She said she was going to come to you and prove me wrong after I dared her ...kinda ...dared her."

He pushed his table closer." So you have to agree to this. Our team is on the line. If this goes awry it could affect me yunno. Besides I know you don't care about her."

" Who told you I don't?" I raised a brow at him.

His eyes widened and his mouth dropped, then shut back. " You are joking right? There's absolutely no way you are interested in Dahlia. You are a fuck boy. A play boy. That is always who you have been."

" You aren't wrong. But that was just some form of escapism. The one person I wanted ...belonged to someone else." I narrowed my eyes." So I kept counting the days till I would have her for myself."

Anger raged on Evans face, his hands clenched " You cocksucker. What did you do to my girl?"

" I got to feel how wet she could get for me. My fingers caressed her soaked pussy, back in my apartment. And we would have had sex if not for ...."

Evans pushed the glass off the table, and it crashed to the floor, shattering into fragments.

The noises in the bar stopped.

Everyone turned to see what was going on, curiosity and surprise on their faces.

Evans stood, kicking his chair to the ground as he rushed me and grabbed my collar.

I could have handled him here and now if I wanted to.

But two things were involved.

One, my punishment would probably be increased tomorrow.

And two, I would miss the chance to ensure I prevented Evans from messing with Dahlia.

If he wanted to sabotage her career, then I had to do something about it.

And that included making sure Dahlia HAD A JOB.

But that was the thing. Dahlia was acting foolishly, and being stubborn.

Dahlia didn't want no job with me.

But wasn't that the exciting thing about the thrill of the chase?

It was my mission now to ensure she had one and I would do what I could to make it so even though she was being unreasonably emotional and naive about what was going on.

The bar man came around. "Gentlemen, I am afraid you'd have to leave my bar. You have broken the rules."

"Are you blind?" I asked. " Didn't you see him stand from his chair and assault me just now?"

He cleared his throat. " Sorry about that. Evans you'll have to leave or I am calling the cops. I don't think that would be good for your hockey image."

Evans muttered an inaudible curse and let go of me.

I arranged my collar back into place. "We could still talk about your offer yunno. I'd like to know what plans you have in mind, to make her jobless."

"Like hell I'd tell you," He said

"I could still help you. She has refused to work for me. She doesn't even want to talk to me. So right now we are in the same situation. What I expect from you isn't emotion, but sense, and logic. If making her work for no one else will help my cause, then why won't I do it?"

Evans seemed to muse over my words. "And how am I sure you aren't trying to make her be your specialist?"

"I am more interested in making her my woman. Besides I'm already with the team's pr department."

"Leave, Evans. You can tender an apology,and a promise letter to desist from such behaviors if you wish to come back to the bar."

Evans scoffed. " To this measly bar you mean."

"Ouch," I said.

"Okay, that's two apology letters, and two promise letters." said the bar man.

Evans gave him the middle finger and sauntered away.

EVANS

When I stepped out of the bar, I spotted Lily hanging around.

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw you walk in with the coach. I could ask you the same thing." She fought back, mistrust all over her face.

"My business is none of your concern Lily." I started walking forward and she followed.

"Oh now it isn't right? After everything you told me ... everything you promised. You were so sure about me. About us. Now Dahlia catches us and you've suddenly lost it?"

I paused, trying to fight back the anger that had been boiling inside me.

Taking a deep breath and unclenching my fists, I turned and walked to her.
