BAXTER

I couldn't help but bounce in my seat as the man named Daz walked back into the room. Hades had his large body wrapped around me with his head in my lap, looking amused at my bouncing. My face and arms still felt sore but I couldnt wait to see the handsome man. At first I was scared of him but after talking with him he made me feel safe.

"Jamison is on his way back, he was in the store so he has to check out. He should be here in about 20 to 30 minutes based off traffic." Daz said with a smile. I couldnt help but smile back as I bounced happily.

"Okays!" I giggled back and focused on petting the wolfs head. "Oh will he be mad Hades is on the furniture?" I looked around recognizing Jamisons apartment.

"No, the wolves come and go as they please so you'll find fur all over the building. Don't worry about it." The man smiled and sat on the love seat across from me. Suddenly Hades let out a whine and got up, walking towards the door. His tail wagged slightly as he looked at the door and back at us. I pouted slightly that the wolf was leaving but got up and opened the door. He darted out of the apartment and down the stairs his tail tuck. "Well someone had to go potty." Daz said from behind me with a chuckle.

"Thank you for your help." I responsed and closed the door.

"Of course." Daz said back happily. "Would you like something to drink? I want to say Jamison has Apple and Orange juice, milk, water, and some sodas." I couldn't help but squeal and clap my hands.

"There's orange juice!" I giggled happily. Dad wouldn't let me have orange juice. As he put it, it was to childish and I might let the disgrace out. Daz nodded and ruffled my hair before leaving the room. I happily sat back on the couch waiting for Jamison. A cup filled with juice was handed to me and I smiled wiggling my butt in glee. "Thank you!"

Daz and I sat and talked for about 15 minutes when the front door opened. Jamison walked in with a small smile setting a duffle bag on the floor. I hopped up and waved happily at the tall man.

"Hello little one." He said and stepped in enough to close the door.

"Hi!" I walked closer and studyed the man. He wore a pair of dark jeans and a tight grey shirt making me want to drool. Suddenly there was a hand on my cheek his eyes focused on the sore skin. "I'm okay, it doesn't hurt to bad." This time my voice coming out as a mumble.

"It doesn't matter how much it hurts, no one should lay their hands on you." His eyes held sadness as he rubbed my skin gently. His gaze travled to my bruised arms and his lips turned down into a frown. "Daz can you leave?"

"Yeah no problem." Daz said making me jump. Oh yeah, I forgot he's here. I got distracted. We stepped out of the way and the man left with a little wave.

"Can you tell me what happened?" The man said and picked me up. I thought it a little weird but hid in his neck when he set me on his hip.

"My dad found out something he wasn't supposed to. He got really mad and started yelling, thats the first time Hades brought me here. He was gone on another one of his business trips when I got home and I figured when he got back it'd blow over. I was wrong, he was madder and he got physical." I whined buring my head further into Jamison's neck. I could feel the man shaking but he just rubbed my back in comfort.

"I'm going to be blunt. I'm not letting you go back there little one. You can stay up here in the guest room of my suite or I can set up an apartment for you on one of the floors. But you are not going back." He all but growled.

"W-what about school?" I couldn't fight him. I didn't want to go back.

"A couple of the teens that live here go to the same school. One of them are my cousin, you can ride with him or I will drive you there myself if need be."

"Mkay." I mumbled in my hidding place and sighed in content.

"When will you father be gone again, do you know? I will take you to pick up clothes and stuff like that." Jamison asked as he moved through the house. I closed my eyes and leaned on him as I thought.

"Um, he shouldn't be home tomorrow evening. If that works for you?" I said happily.

"Perfect." The man said happily. "Would you prefer to stay up here or an apartment below?"

"Um here please. I don't know my way around." I mumbled blushing. I just agreed to stay in a strangers apartment, I really can be stupid sometimes. At least I know he wouldn't hurt me and if he does Hades or Hermes will protect me. And I can't forget about Kratos.

"I will show you around in a bit but I think you need to relax for a while longer." He replyed as he opened a door. I was set down on a soft bed and let out a little whine making Jamison chuckle. "Its okay little one. I'm not going anywhere unless you ask me too." I shook my head and looked around realizing I'm in the same room as before but with more inside it. The grey walls were now decorated with accent paintings and the tv stand now had an actual television on it. The blue bedding was now replaced with burgundy and white bedding and a couple throw pillows.

"Is this where I'll be sleeping" I asked quitely as I pushed my hand into the soft bed.

"Yes it is, my rooms right across the hall and one of my offices are at the end of the hall. So if you cant find me I might be in one of thoes two. You can stay here as long as you want, and you are welcome to anything up in this apartment." He replied and sat on the chair beside the bed.

"Thank you, I will try and figure something out and get out of your hair. I don't want to be a bother" I mumbled and a low rumble came from Jamison's chest. I looked up to see him scowl slightly, keeping a soft enough expression to not scare me.

"If I thought you as a bother I would've sent you to an apartment downstairs right away, not offer a room in my apartment, and I wouldn't be so mad about your father hurting you. Don't ever think you are a bother, you can stay here at least until school finishes. You don't need the stress of living alone, a job, and school. Okay?" He grumbled out  glaring softly at me.

"Okay..." I mumbled again blushing and looking down at my lap.

"Good bo-... Good." His glare turned into a soft smile and his voice softened as he leaned foward ruffling my hair.  "Are you hungry?"

"I could eat." I replied as my cheeks turned a deeper shade of red.

"What are you hungry for? I have a decent amount of food I probably have something you'd like." He said standing up.

"Um... do you have stuff to make grilled cheese?" I asked timidly.

"Grilled cheese it is. Make yourself at home, you can explore the apartment and after we eat I will show you around." Jamison said before heading towards the door. "I will have your food out in a little bit."

God this man's going to be something else, and I'm excited to see how this goes.
