´Why are you helping me?´ He asked cautiously. ´I can't leave a man in need,´ I told him with a soft smile. ´I could have killed you.´ He added while looking at me. ´Yes, yes, you could have, but you didn't. Because you know that I wouldn't hurt you.´ I replied while tugging him gently in. He looked at me with an expression that I didn´t understand. ´Do you have a phone by any chance?´ He asked, leaning against the back pillows. ´I do. Why?´ I asked him with a raised eyebrow. ´....I have to call my wife... She must be worried about me.´ He responded sharply. I chuckled before getting up and walking over to my bag, which was located in my bedroom. I grabbed my phone and walked back to him. His eyes almost lit up at the sight of my phone. I handed him my phone, and he quickly typed a number into it. My phone rang for a bit before the other line was picked up. ´....Aurelia?´ He asked into the phone. I heard someone talking fast, he smiled while listening.
´My love.... Im safe... I will be okay. Don´t worry about me. What? No, stay home, it's safer that way. Aurelia. Please. Stay home. I will be home soon, okay? No... You don´t need to -....Hello?... Aurelia?´ He placed the phone away from his ear, sighed, and glanced up at me with a bit guilty look. ´Why with that look?´ I asked him. ´My wife will be arriving here soon by plane.´ My jaw just dropped at the news. ´What? How?´ I asked him, confused. ´....My wife and I don´t have normal jobs.´ He told me with a straight face. I looked at him, stunned...What does he mean by that? What kind of job does he do that got him beaten up this badly? He got up softly from the bed, I helped him up fast. ´Where do you wanna go?´ I asked him, but before he could answer, his stomach growled. I chuckled and helped him get over to the kitchen. I helped him sit on the chair gently, he thanked me. I smiled at him and went to the kitchen. I picked up food for both of us and returned with the plates. I handed him his plate and then sat down on a chair beside him.
We ate in silence, and I finished my meal before he did. He took his time because of his severe injuries. After a few minutes, he finally finished, so I took our plates to the sink and washed them. I heard the sound of his chair scraping against the floor, and I glanced up to see him slowly making his way to the couch in the living room. Once I finished drying my hands, I carefully joined him on the couch, trying to avoid causing him any additional discomfort. I picked up the TV remote and turned on the TV. As soon as the TV was on, the news came as first informing us about a nasty car accident, the driver was nowhere to be found. I saw Dominic tense up a little while watching the news. ´....Do you know someone who could have been in that bad car accident?´ I asked him with concern in my voice. He glanced at me, he took a couple of seconds before speaking up. ´I was in that car accident, I was kidnapped and taken to a warehouse. I was beaten up, but I killed my way out, I walked for a long time before you found me.´ I stared at him in shock, I couldn´t believe it. What should I do? Call the police? Give him up? Stay quiet and let his wife come to pick him up? Will I get in trouble if I keep him? I jumped up when I felt his hand on my shoulder. ´Easy, Kai, you will be safe. Don´t worry, no one will harm you. You saved me, which means that you are under my protection.´ He said in a firm but calm voice. I stayed quiet but nodded softly, he smiled a bit before switching the channel on the TV.
To be honest, he's not as bad as I thought he would be. We watched TV for a long time, and I noticed Dominic snoring softly; it made me smile a little. He must have been very tired after everything. I turned off the TV and gently laid him down on the couch, making sure to cover him with a blanket. Then, I went to my home office to catch up on incoming emails and finish some old projects I had been working on. I was so focused on my work that I worked until 02:00 in the morning. Shit. I logged off my laptop and closed it before doing my nightly routine. After finishing, I collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
