You Spin Me Round
You got out of the car and closed the door before Dex reached you.
“Something wrong ?” you didn’t expect him to come look for you out here.
He looked a bit annoyed and that made you realise he wasn’t bringing good news “Nadeem wants us and Agent Lim to do a room check in the penthouse.”
Great. Could today become any worse? You thought to yourself.
Dex noticed your hesitation “Don’t worry. I won’t leave you in there with the animal.”
“You’d better not.” you scoffed as you started to walk with him back inside the hotel.
“You don’t look so good.” he stated as he pushed the button to call the elevator down.
You snorted “Wow. Thank’s Dex.”
Dex rolled his eyes at your reaction “That is not what I meant, (y/n).”
A smile spread on your face “I know, Dex. I’m just feeling a bit off today, that’s all. Hold on, does that mean you think I look good? Like.. in general.” you were feeling brave as you asked him.
You were suprised to see that Dex didn’t become nervous and a mischievous grin grew on his face.
“Sounds like someone is fishing for a compliment.” he raised a brow at you, and you felt yourself get nervous as he looked you straight in the eyes.
The doors to the elevator went open and you stepped inside. You pushed the button to the penthouse. The small space of the elevator was increasing the tension between you both. “Is that a ‘No’ then?”
Dex didn’t answer, but you swore you could feel his eyes wander over your body for a moment. You didn’t look at him and you hoped you were not starting to blush.
“No.” he casually says after a minute of silence.
Confusion washed over you “Wait, are you answering my first or last question?” you asked him as you realised that if that was the answer to the first question, it meant he didn’t like how you looked. But if it was the answer to the second question it means he did like how you looked.
The doors went open and he smirked at you as he walked out of the elevator.
“Dex?!” you called after him.
Damn it! You thought.
Agent Lim was already waiting on you and Dex and you groaned knowing you wouldn’t be able to get the answer from Dex now.
“This shouldn’t take long. We just go up and check his sleeping quarters.” Agent Lim tells you.
“Let’s get this show on the road then.” Dex said as he opened the door to the penthouse. Agent Lim followed behind him. And you closed the door again before you went up the stairs.
“UP! UP! UP! ROOM CHECK!” Dex shouted as he went up the stairs “ CONVICT! STAND AND FACE THE WALL!”.
Fisk was already facing the wall as you turned the corner, you were anything but comfortable having to face Fisk again so soon.
“Comb the area.” Dex tells you and Lim and you start checking the room for anything hidden or suspicious.
Fisk was still facing the wall but you knew he was keeping his eyes on you, it made your skin crawl.
“We’ll be conducting a mandatory sweep of the area.” Dex spoke to Fisk “ You’re to cooperate with all instructions. You understand.” you noticed Dex voice was resentful as he spoke to Fisk.
Fisk nodded “I understand.”
You moved to a different spot to check under a bunch of pillows.
“I am searching your person to ensure you’re not carrying anything that might be harmful to yourself or others.” Dex said as he frisked Fisk. “Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Fisk answered once more.
“Check!” Agent Lim and you both said.
“Turn around.” Dex voice was cold as he commanded Fisk.
As Fisk turned, his eyes focused on you for a moment, you had to remember Matt’s words. Don’t let him get in your head.
Dex took notice of Fisk’s attention on you and his jaw began to clench as he took a step forward and looked Fisk straight in the face. Dex could be very intimidating if he wanted to be, that’s for sure.
“Are we finished here.” Fisk asked Dex.
A mocking smile showed on Dex’s face “All clear.”
Dex motioned at you and Lim to leave, he let you walk out of the room first. He wasn’t kidding when he said he wouldn’t leave you alone in there.
You went down the stairs, sighing in relief. Lim followed you down.
You waited for Dex and as he came to the bottom of the stairs he looked up. Fisk was staring down at him. A knot formed in your stomach, you didn’t like how he was looking at Dex.
“Agent Poindexter?” you made it sound professional. Dex looked away from Fisk and walked away towards you.
“What now ?” you asked as you closed the doors again.
“Paperwork.” Agent Lim quickly said to you and Dex.
“Paperwork? Seriously.” Dex made a grimace.
“Sorry, Dex. Hattley’s orders.” Lim said with an apologetic expression.
You pulled a face “Guess we should start then.”
You followed Dex to the room where they kept the paperwork.
“Oh god, seriously?” you breathed as you saw the stack of papers.
Dex let out a chuckle “Welcome to hell.”
You plopped down on one of the computer chairs and looked at the stack of papers, as you rubbed your head.
Dex walked past you before he abruptly stopped “Ah shit. I forgot something.” he exclaimed and you let yourself sink back in the chair. Letting your eyes relax for a moment.
Suddenly the chair you were in spinned around, you grasped the armrests in suprise.
“Damnit, Poindexter!” you shouted.
Dex laughed as he grabbed one of the armrests, making the chair stop turning. You were out of breath as your heart was pounding in your chest at the sudden unexpected movement.
You glared at him. He seemed unfazed by your expression, His mouth in a lopsided grin as he looked down at you in the chair his hand still on the armrest. The turning of the chair had messed with your hair a little.
He didn’t say anything, and by now he was staring at you. You wondered what he was thinking, because that was clearly what he was doing.
You felt him pull the chair you were in closer to him and your breath hitched.
You sat back in the chair at the sudden closeness. His eyes gazed over you for a moment. He gazed over your body slowly before he looked at your face, as if he were memorising it.
He put his other hand on the other armrest, trapping you on the chair. You swore you saw him bite his lip slightly before he locked his eyes on yours. Your heart was still pounding but it had little to do with how he had spun the chair.
He leaned down towards you until his face was inches from yours. You felt he was challenging you, you didn’t move a muscle. His eyes appeared darker, you kept your eyes on his as you tried to breath normally.
He looked at you coyly before he leaned closer to you, bringing his lips close to your ear.
At this point you gave up trying to breath normally and you grasped the armrests with your nails.
You could feel his breath on your neck and you shivered.
“The second question.” he breathed.
A knock on the door made him let go of the chair and straighten himself before Agent Lim opened it. “Hattley wants you to do these as well.” he says and gives the new papers to Dex. He looked at you and Dex for a moment, and you cleared your throat as you sat up in the chair. “Well, Good luck.” he said and walked away leaving the door open.
