New Mexico
Novah's POV

I was really shaken up. He had to be out of jail. He was coming after me and the money I took to escape him. How had I ever thought I was ever going to be free from this man? He was criminal.

Dangerous.

I sigh as I shake my head. Marty had thrown the flowers into the trash can for me. I was shaken. Marty looked concerned as he was telling my brothers over the phone what was going on. I was sure neither one of them cared about it.

But Marty did at least. For some reason I felt safe when I was around him. He was more then a big brother. He was like a best friend. Someone I could count on. I had a feeling to stick beside Marty. He would know what to do next. He could keep me safe.

I have had my brothers look out for me with things like this before. But not now. Maybe once they listened to Marty maybe then they might care. Maybe Marty was right about that. I could only hope on that note. Marty gets off the phone then makes his way over to my side. He sits beside me.

♥☆♥

"Are you okay? I am supposed to go to a club opening tonight. But I can call it off" he offers.

I shake my head no. "Do not do that on my accord. I will be fine. The flowers shook me up. He knows I am here. I left the postcard back home. He knows whenever I get in messes that I run to my brothers. He is smart" I mutter as I glance out the window at the bright sunshine outside with the birds flying freely out there in the open skies.

I wish I was like that.

"The twins can do the club for me. I do not need to be there to. I don't have a good feeling about leaving you alone Novah. I am staying here" he argues.

"Marty no do not do that for me" I state sternly.

"Novah, I mean it" he says to me. "your my friend. I care for you"

"I know you do. But you have business. And my brothers are mad at me as it is. I do not need them to get pissed off about this" I tell him.

"Then come with me to the club" he orders.

"Fine, that I can do" I offer.

"Be my date for the night. It will look like we are together. The more press that gets maybe then Victor will back off you if he thinks you are with me" Marty thoughtfully plots up a plan.

"I like the way you think" I giggle. "I would be proud to be your arm candy" I joke.

♥☆♥

We all get ready for the club. During the day the guys were free. But they changed things around for me. I knew they were sticking by my side for a reason. Even my dumb stubborn brothers. They had to care still.

I was their little sister.

That would never change. Later that night I take a shower. Do my hair and make-up. Change my dress. I wanted to look good for Marty. He deserved it after all he had done for me lately. I owed him. I come out from the steamy bathroom looking like a million bucks.

"Do you like?" I ask Marty as I turn around for him. He was so cute all wide-eyed staring at me.

"I like it yes" he softly says. "you look stunning Novah. I love that peach color on you"

"Thanks Marty" I say. "you look handsome tonight as well" I point out. He looks pleased.

"Thank you, Novah," he gratefully says.

The twins meet up with us and we are soon getting into a limo then heading into town. The night was beautiful. A clear sky. Dark sky. The moon was full shimmering up above us.

Marty and the twins were talking softly as they enjoyed a drink in their hands. I knew they had to be talking about me. I glance out the window ignoring it. I hoped Victor was not here in town already. But he probably was. 

When we arrive at the club the lights were flashing outside it. Club Flamingo. It was small but cute. There was a long line of people waiting to get inside. We are let in because of my brothers and Marty of course. 

I go back stage with them. They sing a few songs. "Please Don't Go" and "Bonita" I loved hearing Marty's voice live. He kept glancing over my way to make sure I was safe.

That I was still there. He was so sweet. How was it I never really noticed Marty before until now? Maybe because he was my brother's best friend maybe? Or that he was not the bad boy I was always getting into a mess with.

That had to be it.

After they were done Marty makes his way to my side. A flock of girls surround the guys. I am pushed to the side a bit as they greet fans there. Girls were fighting over my brothers who looked pleased by the attention. 

♥☆♥

"Marty, can I have a dance? Please just one?" begs a very pretty girl. She touches his arm. I feel a pang of jealousy running in me for some reason.

"Sorry hun, I am on business here. And I have a girlfriend. Come here please Novah. She is the twins sister" brags Marty. I go to his side. The girls groan. Looking utterly disappointed.

"Hello..." I answer. He places an arm around my middle.

"Sorry ladies I am spoken for now" chuckles Marty. Most of the girls take off.

"Sorry Marty" I laugh.

"No thank you" he sighs. "I would rather date local girls that I have a real chance with. I am not really into one-night stands, I can be old fashioned"

"Have you ever dated a fan?" I wonder.

"No, but if one came around that I had a lot in common with I would give her a shot" he says to me.

I nod. "Good to know" I giggle.

We are seated at a table. We get chips and salsa. No sign of Victor. But that did not mean he was not there. I kept feeling like a pair of eyes were on me at all times.

Like I could not relax or have fun. Like I could not be free. Maybe if I sent his money back would he leave me alone? Victor was not like that. I was his prize. He claimed me already.

♥☆♥

"You alright Novah?" whispers Marty in my ear.

"I am on edge" I admit. "I feel like I am being watched"

"Just the jealous girls" he teases.

"I can't shake the feeling" I worry.

"Do you see something or someone?" he asks me.

I shake my head no. "I do not" I say.

"I can take you back to the hotel. We are done. We do not have to stay" he offers.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Sure" he says with a nod.

He tells the twins we are leaving. They are going to stay and dance with the girls. Have some fun. I head back with Marty. I was tired. And scared. I was trying not to show it.

But I could tell Marty could sense more. He was my angel really. We get back to his room. I get ready for bed. Wash off my make up. Have my bra on of course. I did not want to make Marty have to take a cold shower that night. Then I was ready for bed.

When I step out Marty is staring at me.

♥☆♥

"I am still wearing a bra" I laugh.

He laughs. "No, no it is not that" he chuckles.

"What?"

"How is it you look even more beautiful without makeup on?" he asks me.

No guy had ever said something so sweet to me before. Victor always preferred me to sleep with my make up on. But that was what he liked of me. 

"You know I used to have a thing for you back home. Sorry, I was always that dorky guy you never noticed back then" he chuckles. "I do not mean to make things weird for you"

"No not at all. I am flattered. That is so sweet to say" I tell him. "thank you for making my night"

"Your welcome"

"Marty?"

"Yes?"

"I knew you had a thing for me. I can always tell when a guy has an interest in me. I never thought you were a nerd" I softly tell him. "I was flattered" I say. "sweet dreams"

"Sweet dreams Novah" he tells me. He smiles back.

I feel my heart thump faster in my chest. I head to my room for the night.

I felt so safe there with him. I soon was allowing my eyes to close and go to sleep for the night. Thanks to my protector. Marty.
