Criminal in love

Chapter 16

    This chapter is dedicated to all those who takes their time to read my book. You inspire me a lot.

Thanks so much.

Ken McAlister loosened his tie and climbed into the limousine. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, just as the driver pulled the car out of the driveway.

He leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes.  The opening ceremony of Ted's hotel was over but he couldn't wait for refreshments. The large crowd suffocated him. He was being paranoid, which was so unlike him. 

To think he saw his sister, Regan in the crowd was disturbing. Since the kidnap of his sister, his father had been touchy and sad. He was the one who kept the cool head. He needed to see his therapist.

But the girl looked so much like his sister. And she was staring at him knowingly. Like she expected him to do something.

He was sure it wasn't Regan. With the red hair and long, artificial lashes, she was probably a slut who wanted him to have sex with her.

No wonder she tried desperately to get his attention.

With a snort, he shook his head. The girl was probably in high school. Roughly eighteen years. Regan was twenty five years.

Hissing angrily, he unbuttoned his shirt halfway. And to say he almost walked off the stage to her.

The thought made him laugh. It was so funny. He laughed again and kept laughing until his stomach hurt.

          Dimitri was getting upset each passing second. He increased the volume of the radio clutched in his hands but his friends were having none of it.

"So tell me, what makes you so enamored by her? You say you're not banging her, so why the attraction?"

Dimitri glared at Mitch who chuckled.

"Come on Dim. Just tell us. Its pretty obvious you like her, so whats in her? Don't get me wrong, she's hot, but you haven't had sex with her that -----"

"Cut it Rey. Just cut it." Dimitri interrupted Reynolds.

    They rolled their eyes and shifted closer, peering at him expectantly. Dimitri twisted the volume key in the radio, but to his irritation and utter disappointment the volume was at his peak.

He switched the radio off in annoyance and turned to his five friends. He could just reach out for one of them and punch him in the face. That would make them lay off him and Regan, but for how long.

"Look guys, stop. Just stop okay? I just like Regan okay? She's a refreshing change from all the girls i know. And for the record, i don't plan on having sex with her. She's too good for that" he replied honestly.

They looked awe-struck for a moment and Dimitri made up his mind to punch anyone who asked him one more question. Mitch looked like he would, but then he just nodded and settled back down on his chair.

Others followed suit.    

Good for them.

Dimitri reclined on the chair and closed his eyes. He could hear muffled noises coming from the other room and wondered what the girls were up too.

He hadn't seen them since they dragged Regan away to dye her hair back to black. And that was three hours ago. It was getting late already. He glanced at the clock. Ten p.m.

He sighed. "I better start ---- Shit"

Loud music blared from the other room.

"What the hell are those girls doing in there?" Lenon stood. They followed suit.
