Knight In Shining Armour
Chapter 1
Jess
I can't believe that this is happening. I never meant to stab him but he was coming at me. He would have killed me. I had no choice but to stab him. It was him or me. I know the only person who can help me is Becker, he's the only one that would understand. It didn't take long to get to Becker's apartment building, my bloody hands hit his number on the buzzer until he answered "Hello?" He questioned with a yawn.
"Becker it's Jess… please let me in" I pleaded as fresh tears started to roll down my cheeks. I heard the door buzz instantly, I ran into the building and up the stairs to his apartment. The door was already open for me so I ran in and closed the door behind me so no one could see me come in. I turned to see Becker there standing in just some pj bottoms and a bare chest with ruffled hair. He was looking at me in shock. I looked down and realised I was covered in blood "Becker I need your help… please. I really need you to help me" I pleaded with him.
"What happened?" He questioned worriedly.
"I think I killed Kenny" I stated.
6 MONTHS EARLIER
Kenny and I have been together for a couple months now and I can honestly say that I am really happy with him. Don't get me wrong I know it's early days but he seems different compared to other men I have been with before, Kenny actually cares about me and I wake up to good morning texts every days. Kenny is a nightclub owner and he knows I work for the government and he is aware that I can't talk about it due to The Official Secrets Act. When I first told him about working for the government he seemed surprised but he didn't question it any further which I was thankful for. I didn't want to lie to him and keep secrets from him but my job comes before a relationship.
It is hard trying to find the right balance between being in a relationship with Kenny and both of us doing our jobs. Kenny works mostly at night because of what he does, he works until the early hours in the morning. He is sometimes coming in from work as I am about to start work. He mainly works weekends as that is when his nightclub is busiest but during the week we find time to be together and make our relationship work. We have date night at least 2 nights a week; whether it's the cinema, dinner, bowling or whatever… we always make the time.
I told the girls at work about Kenny and they seemed to be happy for me. They were a little apprehensive about him but I don't blame them, I don't exactly have the best track record with men;
There was Colin who cheated on me.
There was David who stole from me.
There was Chris who tried it on with Emily.
There was Tony who tried to control me.
There was Joe who used me for money.
Like I said I don't have the best track record with men so they have every right to be wary of Kenny. The one person that was the most keen to meet Kenny and figure him out is Becker, he has always been my knight in shining armour and he has also confronted my previous boyfriends when they did me wrong. He actually beat up Colin and Chris pretty bad and he managed to get Joe arrested for something and put in prison and he also got David arrested and imprisoned for theft. He nearly shot Tony with an EMD and Matt had to stop him. Becker has always been there for me when I needed him, I couldn't ask for a better friend. I know that Becker has been wanting to meet Kenny and I also know he's been doing background checks on him and his club to look for anything that could be a warning. Does he really think I wouldn't be able to track the search back to him? I can't blame him though and it is really sweet he's looking out for me like that. I really appreciate it.
I was speaking to Kenny last night and he told me to bring my friends along to the club tonight because he has been desperate to meet them too. I speak about them all the time and he wants to meet my friends and make some sort of friendship with them, he really has been trying. Kenny is aware of the troubles I've had with past boyfriends and I don't think he would do anything to hurt me, he is really angry with my ex partners and he wants to come face to face with them. I explained to him that Becker and the others have sorted them out and he seemed content with that.
Finally it was my lunchtime! I went into the break room and saw everyone already sitting there around the table talking among themselves "Hey Jess" Abby greeted and I took the spare seat in between Becker and Abby "Doing anything this weekend?" She asked.
"Actually I was speaking to Kenny last night. He has invited all of us to the club tonight. He said he will set up the VIP Area for us and give us a bottle of champagne and a bottle of vodka. We will also get special treatment all night" I explained to them "So what do you say? You will finally get to meet Kenny" I added.
"We'll be there" Abby said answering for everybody.
"Great! I'll call Kenny in a little while and tell him we're on" I replied.
I am so excited that Kenny is finally going to meet my friends and they are going to finally meet Kenny. I talk about them all the time to him and I talk about him all the time to them. I just cannot wait for them to meet and they will all see that I can pick good men, not just all the wrong ones.
"How does one dress for a nightclub?" Emily asked.
"Come to my place later and I will help you" I told her.
"Why don't us girls all get ready together at your place?" Abby questioned.
"Sounds great! If us girls get ready at my place and when the guys are ready they can come and meet us at my place and we can all go together" I suggested.
"I'm good with that" Matt said. He seemed a little relived that he didn't have to help Emily get ready for a night out.
"Emily I have some amazing dresses that would look great on you" I told her.
"I am a little bit worried about this" She confessed.
"You should be… Jess is dressing you up" Matt said.
"Hey!" I exclaimed "Look I'm going to call Kenny" I said and got up from my seat. I found a nice little quiet area and called Kenny.
"Hello beautiful" He said as he answered, he sounded like he just woke up.
"Hey. I've just spoken to the guys and they said yes to tonight. They are very excited" I told him.
"Well that's great, I'll get everything set up for you. It should be ready about 9:30 tonight, that means you will get here just before the rush and I can spend some time with you" He said.
"Great! Thank you for all of this" I said.
"Anything for my girl" He replied.
"I'm sorry to cut this short but I'm on my lunch break and I have to go and make some plans with the girls about getting ready and stuff" I told him.
"No Problem, I'll see you tonight" He said and the two of us hung up.
Anything for his girl… I was his girl. I love it when he says things like that.
Kenny seems like such a nice guy so far... I don't think it's going to stay that way for long. I think in a couple of chapters, Kenny is going to show us what he's really like.
Review, follow and favourite because you know I love it when you guys do that.
