Fascinating Danger novel Chapter 7

Louise Bertie was one of the seemingly endless swarm of sluts that roamed this building. She believes that I have a thing for her, even though she has a huge thing for me.

Right now, she was leaning threateningly towards Addison and was holding a claw-like finger at her neck. "Marco! I wasn't expecting to see you! I was just-" I cut her off, walking over to them.

I handed Fabian to Addison and pushing her towards the door. "Miss Bertie, I believe you have some packing to do. And it's Mr De Luca to you" I said and slammed the door in her face.

I turned back to Addison to see she was bouncing Fabian up and down, tears pouring down his face. "It's okay, little guy. There's no need to cry. Aww. Shush" She hushed him and he stopped crying and cuddled her.

Addison looked up at me and gave me a small smile. I smiled back at her, and slowly walked forward. "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded, "Yeah, just a little shaken"

"What happened? Why was she in here anyway?" I asked. "I was coming in here to find a file that Mr Collier asked for me to find. I think she followed me in, I just turned around and she started foul mouthing me and threatening to kill me" She said frowning.

"She threatened to kill you?" I asked. "Um...Yeah. But, I mean you don't have to do anything drastic. I can sort something out-" I cut her off and stepped forward.

"No. I'll handle it. Your safety is important to me, Addison. I'm not going to let some delusional woman threaten your life"

At this point I was a few centimetres away and had my hands on her cheeks. "Why are you so concerned?" she whispered. Her breath flew past my cheek and I smelt peppermint.

"Because" I whispered back. "Because why?" "Because I like you" I said it so softly, I wasn't sure she heard it.

Addison Carter POV

"Because I like you" He said it so faintly, I nearly missed it. Fabian was on my hip and Marco was standing right in front of me. He looked serious and vulnerable, at the same time.

"What?" I asked. "I like you" He said it louder this time, and stronger. "You...You like me?" "Yes, very much so" Fabian giggled and wrapped his arms around my neck.

I turned to him and pushed a lock of hair behind his little ear. He looked up at me and I smiled at him. He is just adorable. Marco put his hand over Fabian's head, and flattened his ringlets down.

Marco stared at me and I stared back. He leaned in slowly, and I found myself leaning in too. His lips found mine and we stayed like that for what seemed like twenty minutes.

Fabian started bouncing up and down in my arms and we both pulled back to look at him. He waved his arms at us and grinned.

"Fabian, be quiet. We're busy right now" Marco playfully glared at him and Fabian made an angry face. Marco laughed and turned back to me.
