An Unwanted Encounter

Aslan's POV

He was in his office when he received a call. The number was not known but the caller ID said it was Derek. He picked it up.

“Shoot.”

“Wish I could shoot you, but Ah! Me and my wishes. I know you can’t change your ways but at least protect what’s yours.”

He had no idea what Derek was talking about. “Derek, I don’t like puzzles.”

“Your woman. Protect her.”

“I don’t need orders from you.”

“Yes, you do. Besides, she is one hell of a woman. A precious woman, huh? You know better not to leave her alone. Have you already forgotten my charming smile that can disarm women?”

“She won’t give you a second glance.”

“I beg to differ. Your woman, quite a slut she can be. The other day….”

“Shut the fuck up, Derek, and mind your tongue. I won’t hear a word about her. She is mine; respect her and I know how to protect her from people like you and I will”

“You better or I will whisk her away from under your nose.”

Aslan hung up and threw the phone away, but the damn phone wouldn’t break.
