"Olivia can you close up tonight?" Marcus asked as he threw me the keys.

i sighed and set down the comic I was reading to catch the keys,"got no choice huh?"

"nope" he said and walked out of the store.

i rolled my eyes and picked back up the comic I was reading. I worked at an old comic book store and we were rarely ever busy. I mean I had no life so I really didn't care to stay later, but it bored the hell outta me. People would rather go to bars than get comics on a Friday night. It was just around 10 o clock when I was able to start closing up. I finished everything up and slid on my coat as I locked the doors. I looked down the street and back at the doors. The usual creeps were hanging outside the strip club like always and unfortunately i would have to walk by it. It was going to be a cold walk. I put my hands in my jacket and started walking. I picked up the pace when I started passing the strip club. I started to receive whistles from different creeps standing outside the club. I rolled my eyes and started walking faster. That's when I heard footsteps behind me. I side glanced and saw one of them following me. SHit.

"hey baby why don't ya come back here and we can have some fun" he hooted.

i rolled my eyes and ignored him, continuing walking, trying to avoid the man.

"You need to leave me alone" I yelled back to him.

"babe common" he said and I heard him picking up the pace.

i tried to steady my breathing, I couldn't show fear in this situation.

"babe slowdown!" The man yelled.

we were nearing my apartment when I knew I would have to walk past it. I ain't showin this creep where I live. I heard the man starting to get aggravated. I quickly turned into a near by parking lot to an old looking bar that I've never seen before. His footsteps started picking up and before I could do anything I felt him grab me forcefully by the arm. He turned me to him,

"I said slow down!"he yelled in my face.

I don't know if it was his grip or if it was the pure fear I was in that caused me to whimper. I tried to push him off, but he was too strong.

"let me go!" I yelled.

he slammed me up against the brick on the side of the bar,

"shut up!"

i felt tears start to fall as I still fought against the man.

"No please! Just let me go!" I cried.

he smirked at me and right before I was about to give up someone spoke,

"I think the lady told ya to let er go"

i looked to the side to see two men standing there. They were glaring at the man holding me against the wall.

"And I'd listen to er" the other one said.

"o yea or what" the creep asked.

the two men spoke in an Irish accent. One had blonde hair, one had brown. They both had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. They were beautiful.

"If ya don't let er go you'll find out lad" the darker hair said.

"Aye and ya don't want that. Yer outnumbered here, just let the girl go peacefully" the blonde said.

the creep just smirked and turned to me. His face was utterly repulsive. He then smirked back to the boys who started walking closer to us.

"whatever" the creep said and let go of me.

the 3 of us watched as he walked away with a smile on his face. I just starred in shock as the two Irishman glared. I took a deep breath once the man was out of sight and turned to the two.

"Thank you for that" I sighed.

"anytime" the blonde smiled.

"ya alright there lass?" The brunette asked.

"ya I'm alright" I smiled.

"I'm Connor and this is me twin brother murphy" the blonde introduced.

"I'm Olivia" I smiled.

"well Olivia it is very nice to meet ya" murphy said while he grabbed my hand and placed a soft kiss on the top.

i knew I was definitely blushing when he smirked back up at me. Connor smacked murphy on the head and they both laughed and gave each other a look, which I didn't understand.

"so Olivia, we're about to get a drink. Would ya like to join us?" Connor asked.

"you both just saved me and are asking me to get drinks with you? I think i should be the one buying you guys a drink as a thank you" I chuckled.

"we don't let the lady pay" murphy smiled.

"it's what momma taught us" Connor smirked.

"what if this woman insisted?" I asked.

"well than that could be a different story there love" Connor winked.

i smiled,"well not tonight, I'm too tired cause I just got off work, but another night. i promise"

"hold ya to that there love" Connor smirked, "it was very nice to meet ya."

Connor hugged me which surprised me. He gave that same look on his face that he did earlier to his brother again and then walked into the bar. Leaving me and murphy alone. This was the first time I fully took in murphy. He was tall, very muscular, and was wearing blue jeans with a grey sweat shirt. He had a little mole by his lip which I thought just added to the sexiness. He was perfect.

"See somethin ya like there lass?" He asked breaking me out of my starring.

i quickly looked away, bushing like crazy. I heard him chuckle and say,

"let me walk ya home"

i quickly turned back to him. First he saves me and now he wants to walk me home? Is this a joke? I waited for a second before saying,

"you don't have to."

"aye, but I want to."he smiled.

i smiled and nodded as we started walking to my apartment the opposite way. Nothing could explain how nervous I was to be around him.

"I really can't thank you and your brother enough for back there." I whispered.

"ey it was nothing really. Don't do too well with men tryin to hurt women" he said.

"well i deal with the creeps a lot on my way to and from work unfortunately." I sighed.

"where ya work?" He asked.

"comic book store, but it's down the street from the strip club and so every time I walk past there i get some kinda remark. That's the first time someone followed me though" I sighed.

"aye well ya dont got to worry bout that anymore lass. Either Connor or I will walk ya to and from work from now on." He said.

"murphy I can't ask you to do that. You or your brother" I said shocked he even offered.

"ya ain't askin. I'm tellin ya. Me and my brother ain't gonna ever let nothin happen to ya again" he said seriously.

I just starred in shock and saw how serious he was. we arrived at my apartment and he walked me to my door. I unlocked it and turned to him,

"thank you murphy" I sighed. "For everything"

"anytime Olivia. One of us will pick ya up tomorrow" he said.

i arched an eyebrow and he chuckled,

"Connor ain't gonna let ya forget about buyin him a drink love"

i chuckled,"o ya"

before he left i walked to him and placed a kiss on his cheek. Once I pulled away I whispered,

"goodnight murphy"

"goodnight lass" he smiled and walked away.
