Chapter 6 No one is going to touch what is mine.

My smile turned into jealousy when I saw that another man suddenly put his hands on her waist and made her turn around in a way that was too rough for my taste, I couldn't see the face of that fucking asshole, but I noticed that he was hurting her. She was screaming at him to let her go.

When I saw that that fucker started to take advantage of her, I couldn't hold back any longer; without realizing it, I was already walking towards them, and I went on top of him just when the son of a bitch was about to kiss her.

I stepped in between the two of them, with my hand on her waist I tried to move her behind me carefully to protect her, and without thinking twice I hit that prick in the face, he fell hard to the ground and that's when I realized that that bastard was Nico.

My face reflected the anger that ran through my body; I wanted to kill him with my own hands, for having touched her and for trying to steal a kiss from those lips that are mine; I was furious I had never felt that way for any woman, the only thing I knew was that I had to protect her.

"You didn't hear her dickhead, that you don't touch her. Are you deaf or stupid? If you ever lay a hand on her again, I swear you will fucking regret it," I shouted, looking him in the eyes, daring him to hit me so I could kill him right then and there.

"Stay out of it Marcus, she's with me or that you like her too," he told me with a smirk on his face, my hands clenched into fists hearing how, he would say to her like she was an object or a random and I wasn't going to let him.

"Nico, when are you going to learn how to treat a lady you respect? You better get the hell out of here," I said and walked up to him, we were face to face, and I wasn't going to let this jerk intimidate me; he knows me well enough to think I'm going to run away from a fight.

"What! Is that your new conquest Marcus?" said Nico, to my face.

I laughed at his words; I put my hands on his shirt collar and pulled him closer to me, "She is no conquest, and you are going to respect her; how about we go outside and finish this" I said and pushed him...

"Keep her; I can get me another slut anywhere; it's not like it's something special," he said and left the coward.

When I saw Nico leaving, I turned around, but she was gone; I looked at Jason confused and looked everywhere, "Where is she? Where did she go?" I asked him, pulling him by his shirt.

"Ivana took her; she said she wasn't feeling well; she was a little dizzy," Jason told me, and I ran to the entrance of the bar to catch up with her.

"No, no, no, not again, I can't lose her," I thought as I ran to try to catch her, but it was useless; I could only see her when the car was driving away, her head was leaning on the window glass.

"Wait," I shouted, but it was too late; I was left standing in the middle of the parking lot, watching the car disappear and my chance to meet her.

As Jason came out of the bar, agitated and yelling at me, "Marcus, what the hell is wrong with you?" he asked me.

"That's her, Jason, that's her," I kept telling him, and he was listening to me like crazy.

"Who are you talking about, her?" he said to me, confused.

"The woman I told you about, my ghost, remember her?" I said in desperation, SHIT!" I yelled loudly.

"Marcus? Do you mean that girl that enchanted you so much? I thought you were hallucinating and that she was a ghost?" he said surprised, "Then she exists; how crazy is that but calm down," he said.

"How do you want me to calm down? I lost her again, now how the hell am I going to find her" I told him.

"It's Ivana's roomie; what was her name?" said Jason and moved around, trying to remember the name.

"The name Jason remember for god's sake, what's her name?" I asked him.

"Daniella!, she's the girl Kenny was going to introduce you to, and you didn't want to meet her, remember," Jason said.

"What? she's the friend Ivana was going to introduce me to, and she was on the dance floor dancing with someone else, is that her?" I said, confused, "are you sure?" I asked him.

"I even have Ivana's number, I can call her, and you can see her again, don't worry," he said.

"Perfect, call her right now, let's go see her; I need to know she is ok," I told him and started walking to my car.

"Marcus, see what time it is; we can't just show up at her apartment. I don't even know if she is on campus, calm down, let me call her first, ok, let's go and on the way the frame, we have to give them time you get there," Jason said and took out his cell phone.

When we arrived at my penthouse, I was already desperate to hear from her, we went inside, and I poured myself a shot of whiskey, I couldn't calm down, and that alone was going to help me at this moment.

Jason sat on the couch, and I looked at him anxiously, waiting for him to dial Ivana.

"What?" he said, looking at me.

"You're waiting for the stork, a convention or something, dial her for god's sake, can't you see I'm a nervous wreck," I said, rushing him.

"Damn Marcus, who knew I'd be like this for a woman? You're worth it, buddy," he said, laughing.

"You're such an asshole, don't make fun. I don't even know why I'm behaving this way; I know I need to know she's ok; dial her," I said, and he finally did.

Jason pulled out his cell phone and showed it to me; the idiot enjoyed seeing me like this.

"It's ringing already; hold on," Jason said.

As I paced back and forth and was about to sit down, I stopped again from the excitement of hearing it answer.

"Hello," I could hear a voice answering it.

"It's her," Jason said, "Ivana, hi, I'm Jason, sorry for the hour, but we got apprehensive about you guys; I mean my friend Marcus and I, are you ok? Did you get to your apartment?" he asked.

"Jason, I wasn't expecting your call, but don't worry about the time, on the contrary, thanks for worrying about us, we are already in our apartment, Dany didn't feel well, it seems that her blood pressure is a little low, but she is resting, and I just saw that she fell asleep," Ivana told him.

"That Nico is an asshole; if I see him again, I will tell him his truths, Dany brings a bruise on her wrist, and it hurts even though she denies it," Ivana said, "please, thank Marcus for defending."

"Don't worry, Marcus made it very clear to Nico that he didn't want to see him near your friend," said Jason.

"I hope she gets better. Do you think we could see them tomorrow? Marcus would like to know she's ok," Jason told him.

"I don't know; I think it depends on how Dany is feeling; I'll ask him and call you, do you think so?" said Ivana.

"It's perfect; I'll wait for your call, have a good rest, Ivana." 

"You too, Jason; see you tomorrow."

"So, what did she say? How is she?" I asked anxiously.

"Ivana says that her blood pressure is a little low, obviously because of what Nico did and it's not for less, besides she has a bruise on the lower part of her hand and it hurts a little, but she is resting, and a few minutes ago she was already asleep."

"so calm down; apparently, she's better now," said Jason.

"Better!, that asshole Nico left her a bruise, I should have beaten him until he asked for forgiveness on his knees, but this is not going to stay like this," I growled.

"Marcus, you need to calm down, or tomorrow when you see her, you're going to scare her, and I don't think you want that, right?" said Jason.

"No, of course not!!! then we'll see them tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Yes and no," he told me.

"What do you mean yes and no?" I asked.

"It all depends on how Daniella is and how she feels, but Ivana promised me to ask her in the morning, and she will call me and tell me," he said.

"Ok, well, that's a breakthrough; it will take me endless hours to see her again," I said excitedly.

"You have no choice, and since it's late, I'll stay in the visiting room; excuse me, I'm already sleepy; see you in the morning. Have a good rest," said Jason.

"Have a good rest, and Jason, thank you," I said smiling.

"You're welcome, stop it, friends, go to sleep; you're making me desperate."

Tomorrow I will be able to see her and be near her, which is crazy; I feel anxiety and fear at the same time, to see her face to face and talk to her.

Never a woman had awakened this in me since I saw her. I can't stop thinking about her, first I thought it was a hallucination, but now that I know she is real, I don't plan to lose her or move away from her.

"Daniella!" what a beautiful name for a beautiful woman, I don't know what I have to do, but she will be my only mine; I won't let anyone come between us.

"Tomorrow Daniella, our life together begins."
