Kill for You- John Wick

Chapter 10

"I'm sorry I yelled" He said softly, reaching down and brushing a stray hair from my cheek gently

"It's ok" I spoke lowly

My anger dissipated completely. It was almost frustrating this power John had over me, it was like no matter how mad I was or how bad I wanted to hold a grudge, one apology and I was back to adoring the charming assassin. It was silent for a moment. My heart beat faster as I observed the man hovering over me where I lay. It was dark, the room was illuminated only by the dim bathroom light, making John's large figure look slightly intimidating as he loomed over me where I lay. The silence was thick, not bad, but there was something in it that made my breath hitch before finally it was broken

"So I'm big and scary huh?" John's amused voice sounded from above me, making me giggle lightly

"Little bit" I felt myself blush and was suddenly glad it was so dark

"I'll try to work on that" He chuckled lowly before bringing a finger up and poking my nose playfully, making me giggle again,

"get some sleep sweetheart" He said gently, rising up to his full height and making his way over to the other bed,

"goodnight John" I mumbled sleepily, already feeling my eyes grow heavy once again as the weight of our fight had been lifted and replaced with his comforting words

I was fairly certain I heard him speak lowly but I was too far gone to understand his words as sleep overcame me.

"Sophie" I heard a deep voice calling my name, ripping me from my dreams as I pried open my eyes

I groaned before flipping over in an attempting to escape the large hand that shook me awake

"Soph come on" John sounded a bit irritated but I could hear the amusement dancing in his voice

"what?" I mumbled, just as irritated from being woken from one of the few peaceful sleeps I'd had in a while,

"c'mon get up" he prompted but I just laid there with my eyes closed trying to fall back asleep as I wasn't ready to face the world yet

I heard John sigh from above me before I felt two large hands under my arms as he lifted me up and out of the bed like I was a child. I squeaked in surprise as his actions not prepared for this so early in the morning. As soon as my feet touched the floor I looked up at the tall assassin with a grumpy scowl on my face,

"what the hell?" I mumbled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I tried to maintain my frown

"go get ready" he smiled lightly down at me, as if taunting me with his rare optimism, something I thought morning people often enjoyed doing, "I'm taking you to breakfast"

Despite my reluctance to wake when I heard John say that my eyes widened in delight and I looked up at the tall man with excitement,

"really?!" I asked, suddenly feeling much more awake

"mhm" he grinned, clearly amused by my enthusiasm, "now go, quick" he nudged me towards the bathroom with his hand on the small of my back

I obliged eagerly, racing into the bathroom and closing the door behind me. I quickly went pee and then washed my hands before brushing my teeth and splashing some water on my face. My hair was wild this morning, though that was becoming everyday as I didn't have all the products I used to keep my curls in line. I sighed at the mess and just threw it into a braid, not feeling like taking the time to deal with it, especially when breakfast with John was waiting for me.

I burst back into the room and grabbed some clothes to change into, not even glancing at the tall man by the desk as I was in much too much of a rush.

I raced back into the bathroom and threw on my clothes which consisted of mom jeans and a grey hoodie, not even caring that it was anywhere near as nice as what the guests in this hotel seemed accustomed to.

When I was finally ready I exited the bathroom, overjoyed to be leaving the tiny room, this time without having to worry about getting in trouble. Not to mention that I wouldn't mind the company, I very much enjoyed being around John, he had this oddly calm demeanor that I found quite charming, though certainly a little ironic, but still I was very attached to him and enjoyed his company greatly,

"ready?" John asked, a ghost of a smile painting his lips as his whiskey eyes met my own

"mhm!" I beamed, taking in the man before me for the first time today

Per usual, John wore a suit. His black blazer and dress pants outlined his muscular figure perfectly and the crisp white dress shirt underneath was perfectly complimented by his black tie. His jet black hair was slicked back neatly, though a few stray hairs hung in his face, only adding to his looks. I had always found the man undeniably attractive, however as I really looked at him I think it set in just how gorgeous he was. I think I could've stared at him all day if I wanted to,

"c'mon" John broke my trance when he grabbed my small hand, cloaking it in his own large one and stirring butterflies in my stomach

I smiled to myself, actually quite proud of myself that I was this comfortable around a man, a scary one at that. Not only was I perfectly ok with John touching me but I actually enjoyed it, his rough hand felt lovely against my skin, our hands fit together perfectly. I hadn't been this comfortable around a man in many years, so like I said, I was proud.

I stayed beside John as we made out was our into the fancy lobby, me having to walk quickly to keep up with the assassin's long strides,

"where are we going?" I looked up at John eagerly,

"you'll see" John spoke simply, cryptic as usual
