Claire's POV:

After a while of reading, I finished the book, so I decided to take a shower.

Hopping into the shower my mind wandered to a pair of chocolate brown eyes. He might be dangerous but he made me feel oddly safe today, wrapped in his arms. His-

Wait! Why the hell am I thinking about him!?

I quickly shook the thoughts of him out of my head and hopped out of the shower wrapping a towel around me.

Walking out I gasped aloud as I saw a tall figure standing by the bed with my book in his hands. Hearing me he turned around and looked at me and his eyes widened.

"Gosh, I'm so sorry!" Derek said and covered his eyes turning back around.

My cheeks went red in embarrassment "I-its ok" I said and rushed towards the closest, but my luck I slipped, because of my wet feet landing hard on my butt as a groan left my lips. That hurt.

"You ok kitten?"

"Yes yes I'm good, just don't turn around!" I rushed and got back on my feet running in the closet without falling this time.

I looked around at the dresses that Chloe landed me since she couldn't fit in them anymore because of her baby bump.

I pulled out sky-blue jeans put them on with a white button-up shirt and tugged it into the jeans.

I walked out to find Derek still facing the wall as I left him. I chuckled as he looked around and let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, thank god you're fully clothed now" Derek said chuckling. I laughed at the look on his face.

"Anyways I came to take you shopping" he said smiling as I knotted my eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you mean to take me shopping?" I asked confused.

"Well your stay here is might be longer than we expected, so Xavier asked me to take you shopping for clothes and other necessities" he said shrugging his shoulder. How long is he planning to keep me here exactly?

"Do I have a choice?" I asked with hope as he shook his head.

"Nope kitten, Xavier's order" he said pouting slightly making me sigh. Ofc his orders.

"But I don't have any money"

"Don't worry your head about that, we taking his card" he said waving a card in front of my face. Why does he wanna spend his money on me? This man really confuses me a lot!

"Well since I have no option" I said defeated and Derek went to open the door.

"After you m'lady" he said bowing down slightly making me giggle.

I thanked him and walked out of the room with him right behind me, we started walking downstairs and unconsciously I skipped a step and was falling, I closed my eyes tightly ready to feel the pain but it never came, as a pair of arms were wrapped around me stopping me from falling. I looked up to see Derek smirking at me.

"Someone's clumsy today" Derek said chuckling lightly making my cheeks go red.

Someone cleared their throat grabbing our attention as we looked at the top of the stairs. Xavier was standing there with his hands in his pants pockets.

"Am I interrupting something?" He asked glaring at me and Derek with his jaw clenched, I was confused at first then I realized what position we were standing in, my hands were on Derek's chest and our faces were awfully close. I quickly pulled back steadying myself.

"Nah brother, she was about to fall, I just helped her, right kitten?" Derek asked looking at me.

"Y-yes" I said looking up at Xavier as he was looking at me and Derek angrily.

He then started descending the stairs with his hands still in his pockets and stopped right by me and looked dead in my eyes making me gulp hard, he was staring at me so dangerously.

He leaned in and whispered close to my ear "Try to run and I promise to become your worst nightmare, that is if I am not already" he muttered roughly making a shiver run down my spine.

I nervously bit my lip as he straightened his poster.

"Understand?" He asked with a serious tone.

"U-understood" I said nervously as my palms got sweaty. He nodded his head as his eyes lingered on my lips for a second, he soon averted his eyes and walked away.

I let out the breath I was holding and placed my hand over my chest as my heart was beating dang fast. See how confusing he is? One moment he saves me and the other threatens to be my worst nightmare.

I sighed and looked up at Derek to find him smirking at me with a weird look in his eyes.

"What?"

"Oh nothing at all kitten, nothing at all" he said still smirking mischievously.

"Come on, let's go" he held my hand and pulled me downstairs and out of the mansion after weeks of me being held imprisoned in there.

Walking outside he led me towards a limo.

"We going in that!?" I asked shocked

As we reached the limo a man dressed in all black opened the door for us.

"We sure are kitten, get in" he said and I hopped in. I'd never been in a limo before and goddamn it was beautiful from the inside, it had different containers for juice and I assume alcohol as well.

I sat on the seat as Derek entered as well and sat beside me and soon the drive began. I looked at Derek and he still had that smirk on his face.

"What's with that smirk of yours?" I asked squinting my eyes at him and he chuckled.

"You're just so innocent kitten"

I scoff at him

"No, I'm not that innocent" I mocked him and he laughed.

"Sure kitten"

I roll my eyes at him and he chuckled.

Soon the limo stopped moving as the door opened. "We're here sir" the man said holding the door open for us, I stepped out and thanked him as Derek walked out with me.

We were at a mall, I'd never been to this mall before.

We walked in and Derek dragged me to the first clothing store he saw.

It had pretty dresses but when I looked at the price tags my eyes were about to fall out of their sockets.

"Kitten, don't look at the price, pick whatever you like, and don't worry about the money" Derek said taking the dress out of my hands that I was about to put back.

"But Derek this store is way too expensive, 2000 dollars for just a dress is a bit way too much"

"Kitten it won't even scratch Xavier's bank account" he said chuckling.

"But-"

"If you refuse, I'll have to shop for you kitten and my choice in girl's dresses is bad bad"

I shook my head and sighed "fine"

~~~~~~~~

After shopping for straight 4 hours we decided to sit down for a while, Derek here dragged me to every store that had any female stuff in it, and we got a bunch of clothes, shirts, skirts, dresses every kind of clothing a girl wears. Makeup, body lotions, shampoo, face wash, and other stuff. And now we have 2 guards with us holding the bags because we couldn't carry them all by ourselves.

To say I was exhausted won't be fair because I'm way beyond that.

"Hey we didn't go in that store yet" Derek said pointing at Victoria's secrets.

My cheeks went red as Derek dragged me into the store with bras and lingeries placed all over the store.

"Welp" he said nervously making me chuckle.

"I guess I better wait outside till you buy what you need" he said and quickly walked out making me laugh.

Walking around the store my eyes fell on a very cute yet sexy set of black lingerie. I hesitated but still put it in my bag, I might not wear it but it was so eye-captivating!

After buying a few more bras and panties I walked outside to find Derek waiting right outside the store for me.

"You sure got all you wanted from that store?"

"Yup all done"

"Let's go eat something then because I'm starving" he suggested and I nodded in agreement, I was hungry as well.

We walked towards the food court and Derek found a table for us. We both sat there and looked around the food stores to see what we were gonna eat.

"What would you like to eat kitten?" Derek asked

"Hmm, pizza!" I said excitedly and he chuckled getting up.

"You wait here I'll get us the pizza" he said and walked away. I started looking around.

It's been 10 mins since Derek went and I was getting hungrier every passing second.

"Claire?" A familiar voice grabbed my attention as I looked back just to find Jay standing there looking at me with shock clear in his eyes.

I abruptly stood up in panic, if Derek sees him with me he for sure will tell Xavier and then God knows what Xavier will do.

"Is this really you??" He asked taking a step closer.

"H-hey" I said nervously.

"Oh my god, it is really you!" He said and out of nowhere hugged me leaving me in shock.

He soon pulled back and looked at me.

"Are you ok? Where did you vanish for weeks? Do you know how worried Skyler is for you?"

He said as tears started to gather in my eyes at the mention of Skyler.

"Is she here right now?" I asked trying so hard to hold back my tears.

"No, I came here to get food for her, she has been so worried for you Claire, even I was worried since you never came back to the club that night. Were you in trouble Claire? Who are you here with?" He inquired with worry clear in his eyes.

"She's here with me" my eyes widened as I heard Derek's voice from behind me.

"Who are you?" Jay asked glaring at Derek.

"Someone you don't wanna fuck with" Derek said dangerously and held my hand "let's go kitten"

I slightly nodded and let him drag me away from the confused Jay.

We walked outside the mall and towards the limo. Sitting inside I kept my head low as tears were pooling in my eyes, my heart was aching, I miss them so badly!

"Kitten, you ok?" Derek asked concern lacing his voice.

I nodded slightly not daring to say anything because I was afraid if I try to talk I will end up crying.

"Who was that guy?"

I knew he'd ask that, I have no option but to tell him the truth.

"Jay, he's Skyler's cousin" I mumbled lightly.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"No I only met him once, well twice now" I said and Derek nodded in Understanding.

After 20 minutes we reached the mansion. Walking in I ran towards the stairs. I couldn't see properly because my eyes were getting blurry with the tears.

Running I bumped into a hard chest, but before I could fall 2 strong arms wrapped around me holding me tightly against him as his cologne clouded my brain.

I slowly raised my head to look up at him, he seemed annoyed. An involuntary tear rolled down my cheek.

His eyes soften looking into my teary eyes as he knitted his brows together.

"Why are you crying?" He asked as his minty breath fanned my face.

My lower lip trembled as I tried pulling away from him but he only tightened his arms around me keeping me in place.

"I asked you something!" He raised his voice slightly as more tears escaped my eyes.

He sighed and closed his eyes taking a deep breath.

"Did Derek do something?" He said gritting his teeth angrily.

"N-no he didn't d-do anything" I mumbled softly.

"Kitten!" Derek called out for me, catching Xavier's attention as his arms loosened around me, I took my opportunity and freed myself from his hold and ran upstairs to my room, and closed the door behind me. Great, I can't even lock this room!

I went to the bathroom and locked it from the inside and broke into tears sitting on the floor.

I miss my best friend, she is my only family. She probably thinks I abandoned her. God knows what Jay will tell her.

After hours of crying, I stood up from the floor and went towards the sink, looking at my reflection I scrunched my nose. I looked like a complete mess.

I sighed and washed my face.

Walking out I found Ella sitting on my bed with a concerned look. I walked towards her and sat beside her laying my head down on her lap as she started running her fingers through my hair.

"I miss them" I said keeping my eyes closed.

"I know love I know" she sighed as she kept massaging my head softly. I let out a yawn since I was tired and exhausted from crying for this long. I snuggled in Ella's lap and drifted off to sleep.
