Victor Kingston pov

I close the register and get up, tired and sleepy.
My eyes land on my Rolex watch.

2:40 pm

Shit man. I really got late today. Picking up my jacket from behind my seat,I loosely hand it on my shoulder and exit the room. Switching of the lights.

The bar was almost empty, the cleaning staff has arrived and they were doing their work.
Seeing me,they bow in acknowledgement and I nod at them.

My phone rang in my pocket and I already knew who it was.
I was really late, the girl must be waiting for quite some time.

"Vic! When are you coming? I am bored sitting here since last 2 hours."

"I am on my way babe , just few minutes more."

I say looking around when my eyes caught something.
The red dress made me stop as I stared at the bar counter.

What the hell? She still hasn't left?

I turn around to see her head laying on the counter,body ready to fall from the seat any second.
The bartender was pleading with her,while she just dismissed him with her hands,asking him to let her sleep peacefully.

Oh man! Not again.

He sighs.

"Vic? Are you listening?"

" Stel...I will call you later.Bye"

"But-"

I ended the call and made my way towards the bar counter.
Her body was just going to fall down when I take two long strides and hold her shoulders balancing her.

She looks up at me confused and then recognition flooded through her eyes. Smiling at me widely ,she nearly turns around and throws her body at me.

"My hero! You are here to save me?"

She slurrs and I look up at the bartender. He bows in fear.

"Sir Victor."

"What is the meaning of this?"

"My apologies Sir. But this Madame here kept asking for more. I tried but she was persistent."

I look down at her, unfolding her arms from around my neck .
She looks up at me smiling and it was taking everything in me to not scold her here for this stupidness.

"You may leave."

"But Sir you? If you say I can get her a cab and-"

"Just leave"
I order as he nods and scurries away.
Leaving this big trouble hanging in my arms,like literally.

I sigh, making her sit but her body kept swaying from one side to another.

"How many glasses did you have?"

I ask and she narrows her eyes at me. Pointing her finger at herself.

"Me? I don't drink.However I did drink that throat burning thing...it was bad...but I felt good. It helped...me forget...it was good ..so good....where did it go...yes here!"

She exclaims with a child's excitement as she spotted the bottle on the bar counter and grabs it.
I stop her taking the bottle from her grip and she whines like a nursery kid.

I was already having a headache and now this.
Oh God please save me from this girl today.

"Give it....you beautiful specimen....give it back to me!"

I hold her wrists in my grip. Trying to put some sense in her.

"Stop it woman! Are you stupid or what? Getting drunk in an unknown place to this extent?"

She stares at me,her thrashing surprisingly stopping.

"Drunk? I am not drunk!"

I scoff stating at her in disbelief. Making her sit on the chair ,I fill a glass of water and offer it to her.

"Here. Drink this first."

"I said I am not drunk! Stop pestering me!"

Holding her chin ,I forcefully place the brim of the glass on her lips, urging her to drink.
She took two sips, looking up at me with those beautiful eyes and I curse in my mind.

Damn! They look so innocent.

As soon as I remove the glass, I was in for a surprise.
When she throws the water she drank on my coat and I step back from her immediately.

Not this now! Oh man! Why me!

I look down to see my expensive suit all ruined.Anger flares through me and I close my eyes.
Control Victor. The girl is drunk,she doesn't know what she is doing.

Her chuckling in the background aggravated my anger and it takes me more than a minute to calm myself.

"I ...I am sorry......hahaha....but your expression....why do you look constipated?"

She kept chuckling and I have had enough.
Can I just leave her here?

I look around to see some of the workers ongling at her, I harden my stare and they immediately takes their eyes off of her.

And that's when I realised what they were actually looking at.
Her dress's neck has fallen down and her cleavage was clearly visible,did she not zip it properly?
The slit of the dress was much higher as she has pulled up the dress,to sit comfortably on the bar chair.

Damn! She looked sexy as hell, yet so oblivious of it.

"Come. Let's go"

I say pulling her up, determined to take her away from they eyes of other men.
She struggled to even walk steadily and next I know she pulls on my hand, asking me to stop.

"What now? "
I ask a bit agitated and she gives me a sorry look. Asking for just a few seconds.
Bowing down,she struggled with her heel straps and I turn around and curse in my mind.

Her cleavage....fuc* it was showing everything.
Hiding it behind my frame,I look around to make sure no one was watching.

"Done!"

She exclaims and I look back to see her holding her heels in her hand and smiling at me.
Moving my head in disbelief,I just get hold of her wrist and tug her along.

We were leaving.

.
.
.

I was tapping on the steering wheels ,waiting for her to answer.
While she looked lost.

"I remember...wait...I am not drunk...I promise I remember."

I sigh,looking at her ,bored. What do I do with this nuisance now? She doesn't even remember her address.

"It's 3 am girl. I have a meeting tomorrow. Can you please hurry up or I am leaving you at a random hotel."

She gulps, holding her head in her hands. Her humour long gone,to be replaced by seriousness.
She looks at me from below her eyelashes and then finally answers after 15 damm minutes of struggling.

"Sorry... It seems I forgot."

"Wow. Great."

I exclaim , starting the ignition and pulling over to the main road.
She looks outside,sober than earlier and I was thankful for that.

"How can you be so irresponsible. Drinking like it's the end of the world. Where is your sister? Didn't you say you were looking for her? How did you end up like this.?"

She looks up at me and I swear I saw tears brimming in her eyes. Fidgeting with her fingers she lowers her head,to answer in a low voice.

"She left with her boyfriend."

"Okay. So call her. She will know your address."

I suggest and she moves her head in a no.

"Can you please drop me at a hotel. I will manage from there."

It suits well with me , taking a u turn I nod at her. Stel was going to really angry for waiting for so long.But as I stare at the girl beside me, her safety will always come first.

"Fine"

I say and drive towards one of my nearby hotels. I don't think this girl is carrying her Id and without it no hotels will let her stay. Except for my own.

Stopping outside one of my hotels,I see her staring at the luxurious place and then back at my face.

"Here? But this place looks very expensive...I .."

"Just go inside at the reception. They will show you to your room."

She looked unsure, reluctant if I may say.
But then nodding,she places on back her heels and opens the passenger door.

I tap on the steering, waiting for her to just leave. So that I can leave.
This girl already ruined my night.

"Thank you"

I hear her small voice and I look up at her.
Her hazel eyes were staring into mine , and for a second I got lost in them.

Breaking our eye contact,she nods and steps back.

"Wait!"
I say even surprising myself. She stops to look at me with creases on her forehead.

"Come here"

I ask her and she does. A light blush evident on her cheeks, this girl! I was not going to kiss her, so stupid.

When she is just near the passenger seat, I motion her to turn around. She looked unsure but agreed nonetheless.
Turning around.

Crossing over the gear box ,I stretch myself to move towards her, moving aside her hair to her side.
And I was right, her zip was open till half of her back.

Sighing I just close it and my cold knuckles touch her warm skin in the process.
Why is she so warm? Or am I just too cold.

Ignoring it ,I clench my fist and move back.
She turns around,looking down shyly and I look back in the front.

I don't want to give her any hope...I did just because I felt like.

"Thank...you"

She thanks me again and I just nod,not looking at her.
Her eyes were entrancing,I hate what they do to me l.

The sound of the door closing is heard signalling she left.
She can manage from here I guess,I have already done enough for her already.

Calling one of my staff members,I patiently wait for them to pick up.
While I look outside,to see her swaying a bit ,but still managing to walk down towards the hotel.

"Sir Victor! Greetings. How may I help you?"

"A girl will come in a red dress. Let her stay for the night without the formalities."

"Of course Sir. All the rooms are full, is it fine if I book your personal suit?"

"Okay.Just do it "

I say,ending the call and rubbing my tired eyes.
Staring at her perfect figure from behind one last time,I just move my head in a no and change the gear to drive.

Turning the steering, to go back home.
Her Rose fragrance still lingered in my car and I wondered.

"I forgot to ask her her name."
