I grab my things and start to walk home through the small town. I'm glad that Jasper is picking Aiyden up from school because I've been on edge after Anatoly suddenly left.

A part of me regrets saving him. It feels as though I'm playing with fire when he's around. I really need rid of him and it's making me rather annoyed that he won't leave me alone.

As I take another step I feel his eyes on me.

Speak of the devil.

"Hello, darling." Anatoly says, falling into step with me.

"What do you want?" I ask boredly.

"You.....to go on a date with me."

"Has anyone ever told you, you're extremely obsessive?"

He thinks my question over for a second. "As a matter of a fact, yes, they have."

"You should work on that." I state.

"I'd rather not." He replies. "Are you free at 7pm on Tuesday?"

"No."

"Liar." Damn, I forgot that he's probably looked at my file and knows my work schedule.

"How do you know I'm lying?" I ask.

"Because I asked that boss of yours, Kamari, is it? If you will be working on Tuesday night and she said you will not."

"I have a life outside of work, you know."

"Fine, if you're going to be stubborn then you pick the time and day." How kind of him to force me on a date. But hey, at least I get to pick the time and date.

"Never and also never." I state. "Why are you incessantly trying to get me to go on a date with you? Aren't there willing girls you can bother?"

"There is but they didn't save my life." He says.

"So you're torturing me because I saved your life?" I ask.

He let's out a breathy laugh, probably over the fact that he acctually tortures people and he thinks I don't know about it. I know everything.

"No. Where I come from if someone does something for you, you do something for them in return."

"Well, I'm not like that. You don't owe me anything at all. I was just doing my job."

"Just let me take you out on a date....please?" He says.

Anatoly King using please? He must be desperate.

"One date and then you'll leave me alone?" I ask because I know he's not going to let this go.

"After one date you won't want me to leave you alone, darling." He says smugly.

I stop walking and he notices straight away and stops walking too.

"After one date I'll leave you alone, unless you want me to stick around." He states.
