up. The bartender was making some weak ass drinks, which is why I was still fucking sober.
I watched closely as she attempted to shrug the guy’s arm off her shoulders and trying to move around him, but he wasn’t letting her go.
Decision time came for me quick, and I thought about the ramifications if I intervened. This could end badly for me in more ways than one. Georgia could go off on me and leave with this guy, making me feel like an idiot, or this guy could make a scene, which I would have to show my true colors and beat the shit out of him, and she leaves with him anyway disgusted with my behavior.
Or this could be exactly what I think it is, and I would have to save her from God only knows what.
Seeing him drag her, and then practically carry her to the door made the decision for me a no-brainer, and I started moving quickly to the exit and to Georgia. I knew it was important that I caught her at the door where there were plenty of bystanders. If he makes it to a car, shit is going to get ugly real quick because I knew a guy like that wouldn’t be traveling alone.
I made it outside the club in seconds and just in time before they were out of my reach. Georgia was still being held or practically dragged as she tried to fight but didn’t have the strength to. I immediately gripped her other arm and yanked hard, releasing her from his grip while saying loudly, “Georgia, baby, you can’t be that pissed I made you wait for me.”
I was hoping she wouldn’t fight me, and she didn’t. In fact, she wrapped her arms around my neck and gripped her fingers tight together.
Feeling her being pulled away from him, the guy swiveled and charged up to me. Now normally I don’t let anyone come this close to me, but I had to be smart and play this right. Clearly it seems I wasn’t the only one playing it smart. Instead of invading my personal space, he looked around at the people walking around and trying to enter the club, and then smiled at me.
“Uh, I think you have the wrong person. Her name is Maya, and she’s clearly with me.”
I smiled back moving Georgia behind me so I could defend us if I needed to. Georgia kept her arm around my chest and rested her head on my back. I backed up slightly, putting the wall behind us instead of the door to the club, and said to my opponent, “No, actually I think you’re the one that has the wrong person in more ways than one.” I then squeezed her arm and pulled to get her attention. I asked, “What’s your name, baby?”
“I hate when you call me baby,” she slurred.
I chuckled and said my tone a little softer. “My mistake. Tell me again what it is.”
“It’s Georgia… Are you going to take me back to my hotel?” she asked.
I didn’t reply; I just looked over at him and waited for his next move.
He didn’t disappoint. He moved closer to me and said, “It would be in your best interest to butt out of my affairs.”
The man was two inches shorter than me and had a leaner body mass than I did, so his intimidating stare did nothing to me. I don’t get intimidated, and I have a pretty mean stare myself.
I looked at him up and down before saying, “She happens to be my affair. As a matter of fact, she happens to be mine…”
“No, I’m not!” she piped up. “And what’s that poking me?”
Without missing a beat, I added, hoping no one else heard that last part, “And since she belongs to me, I suggest you move on.”
“You wouldn’t even say hello to me…” she mumbled.
The man in front of me was joined by two others that happened to be bigger than me in body mass and height. Since his backup arrived, he figured he’d grow a set and said to me, “You clearly don’t know who you’re fucking with.”
“Oh no, I know exactly who I’m fucking with; unfortunately I don’t really give a shit. You aren’t taking her anywhere. As a matter of fact, you will stay away from her from now on.”
“Are you threatening
