"You seem tired too…" I mumbled softly.


    "I’m not tired…I’m just bored out of my god damn mind…" Hayden said, really sounding bored.


    Iughed a little at how irritated Hayden seemed to be. Hayden was very good at socializing andworking with men from other gangs and overall, it seemed like he had a decent time. However, in private, he wouldin like crazy. It reminded me of the time that he bluntly confessed that he hated his job. We’re going to be stuck here for two more days until the ship returned to dock.


    I guess we should find some way to relief stress otherwise Hayden is going to explode.


    He had been in a good moodtely and I didn’t want to see him revert to his cold and monstrous self when he was in a bad mood. It waste at night now, but Hayden seemed very restless.


    "It’ste but…if you want…what about going up to see the stars on the deck?" I proposed brightly.


    Hayden was silent for a moment as if he was considering my proposal. I guess that’s a no, huh?


    "Not a bad idea. I could use some fresh air," Hayden said.


    "Ok…let’s go then…" I said with a smile.


    "You should put on a jacket. It’s going to be quite cold and windy up there," Hayden said as he sprung up from the sofa.


    When we left the room, the men that were on guard insisted oning with us. Hayden refused but the guards wouldn’t relent.


    "It’s the boss’s orders…" one of the men said.


    Basically, that meant that Hayden needed toply. With a click of his tongue, Hayden held my hand and walked down the hallway. The men followed silently behind us. They gave us some privacy by keeping their distance, but they still followed us all the way. Everyone has their own jobs and responsibilities, I thought silently to myself.


    When we arrived at the observatory deck, it was empty. Hayden and I were the only ones on the deck. The men that followed us guarded the deck’s entrance and did not join us on the deck. Thankfully, that meant that we had some privacy and that we could rx. Hayden was right, it was very windy and cold up on the deck.


    I quickly styled my hair into a bun and tied it on top of my head to keep it from flying around like crazy around my face. Thanks to Hayden, I had a jacket on top of my dress. It didn’t stop me from feeling the cold, but it still helped a lot, that’s for sure.


    "You were right. It’s so windy here…and so cold," I said, my teeth ttering a little.


    "Come here," Hayden said as he spread his arms wide.


    I shook my head at him and refused to walk into his opened arms. That just led Hayden to walk over to me and wrap his arms around my body instead. He’s so warm…


    Slowly, Hayden turned me around in his arms so that he was hugging me from behind. I could feel his warmth against my back as the wind blew from behind me. That made me realize that Hayden was using hisrge frame to shelter me from the harsh wind.


    "It’s nice up here…even if it’s a little too windy," Hayden said close to my ear.


    "It is. Oh…and the stars are really pretty!" I said as I pointed up towards the night sky.


    Since we were in the middle of the ocean somewhere, it was dark, and we could see the stars very clearly. The stars twinkled brilliantly up in the sky.


    "You seem to like stargazing…" Hayden said softly.


    "I do…" I replied with certainty.


    I felt his warm breath close to the side of my neck before I felt his lips kiss my neck softly. Hayden’s arms tightened a little around me as he began trailing small kisses down the side of my neck. I let out a soft moan as I rxed in his arms. It was good that the men didn’t join us up on the deck because I was sure that Hayden would have done the exact same thing even with them hanging around.


    "Hayden…I think…" I began protesting softly.


    Like seriously, maybe he could save this forter like when we were back in the room?


    "Want to go to the bar? I could use a drink…or two…" Hayden said invitingly.


    "Sure…let me drop by the toilet first though," I replied.


    Hayden led me down from the deck. I could see the toilet sign and gestured that I’m just going to go.


    "The bar isn’t far from here. Come join me when you’re done," Hayden said as he gestured with his eyes for two of his men to stay with me.


    Safety first was a good thing…


    The men followed close behind me as I entered thedy’s room. I sighed with relief when I looked around and found that they haven’t followed me inside. It would have been too weird if they did. I peed and washed my hands before heading out of thedy’s room. Just when I rounded the corner out of thedy’s room, I bumped into someone.


    Apparently, both of us were in a hurry and clearly wasn’t watching where we were going. The smell of her rosy perfume filled my nostrils and I looked up to see her slightly surprised face.


    "Oh! I’m so sorry for running into you…" the woman apologized immediately.


    "No worries. That’s not a problem. I’m sorry too," I quickly apologized as well. I think we both ran into each other, and no one was really at fault here. These things just happen sometime.


    "Well then, I hope you have a wonderful evening," thedy quickly said as she hurried along on her way.


    The woman looked like she was slightly older than me and she was really beautiful too. I wondered if she’s the girlfriend of some mafia gang member or even some mafia boss?


    After recovering from my shock, I walked away from the bathroom and then I felt the eyes of my guards on me and remembered that Hayden was waiting for me at the bar. Quickly, I turned around and headed for the direction of the bar. He ordered us some drinks and I went with something very light on alcohol, having learnt my lessons fromst time.
