Chapter 6 Stranger

  • Ashley
  • I was done packing my bags, I can't believe after such a long time, years and everything I'm finally going to leave this place, I could remember my first time in this house. This place became a home for me. It gave me shelter and became my peace of mind. But fortunately, I'm going to be leaving that home today, probably everything happens for a reason.
  • Taking one last look at my room, I pulled down my strolling bag. As I started strolling it outside, I already called my taxi driver. His face changed when I walked outside with my big bag, and handbag. He came out and helped me put the bag in the car trunk.
  • I wanted to enter when I felt like I'm being followed, this is the feeling I've been having recently, I consciously look over my shoulders but when I didn't see anybody, I calm down concluding maybe it's the pregnancy hormone
  • "Ma are you leaving?" The old man who has been like my friend and also a taxi driver ask
  • I sighed not knowing how to break the news to him, probably he won't be happy
  • "Yeah….I'm leaving Los Angeles, I need a change of environment" I muttered, looking out of the window
  • ''Safe journey, ma and thank you for helping me the other time, everything is now under control" He muttered looking pained and happy at the same time
  • "I'm happy to hear that" I smile
  • We drove into the airport, he helped me down with my language
  • "Thanks" I muttered and give him the fifty-dollar notes from my purse, he wanted to reject them when I said
  • "Take you'll need it" I smile stretching the money towards him
  • "Thank you so much and God bless you, all the best wherever you go," He said thanking me
  • "It's okay, drive safely" I wave at him as I watch him drive off.
  • I sighed and look around the airport which was already filled with people of different caliber, Nelly is supposed to be here already I wonder what's keeping her,
  • I look at my phone to see I still have one hour before my flight, I didn't know where to go from. I picked up my phone and dialed Nelly's mobile number
  • "Turn around," She said, making me turn. Smile plastered on my lips as I see her waving her hands at me
  • "I thought you wouldn't come," I said pouting my lips, Like a baby
  • "Ohh come on I can't leave you" She giggled and pulled me into a hug,
  • "How's my baby doing" She giggled touching my stomach
  • "Stop being dramatic it's not a baby yet," I said and we burst out laughing
  • "Make sure to drop your house address immediately after you settle down okay?"
  • "Yes ma" I smile touching her cheeks, she has already reminded me of this like a thousand times already.
  • ''Tell me Ashley, are you sure this is what you really want?" She asks looking into my eyes,
  • We are now sitting at a spot in the airport, since my flight is still late we decided to do some catching up
  • "Why do you ask?" I said looking into her eyes
  • "Don't you want to meet the stranger who you have yearned so much for? Even though you don't know him, his mere presence only had you in cloud nine, you felt safe and for the first time someone made you feel like a woman, someone adored your body…don't you want to know who he is?" She asks, looking into my eyes with love
  • "Do you think anybody would want to be with an ex-stripper like me?"
  • "Of course baby, you're everything you don't know you are"
  • "Listen, Nelly, I don't even know this man, and how sure are you that I will ever get to see him again"
  • "Maybe you should have waited a little bit longer, you never can tell," She said shrugging her shoulder
  • Smile my friend is having a wild thought again
  • "Hey, why are you smiling?" She asks frowning her face,
  • "Maybe you forgot but I didn't get to see his face so stop hallucinating for what will never happen" I giggled, pinching the bridge of her nose
  • "Awwch…that's hurt" She whines touching her nose
  • "Just say you'll miss me and want me to stay," I said with a high shoulder
  • "Eiyyy..stop fooling yourself, he saw your face so if you didn't see his, he saw yours" She giggled making my head snap towards her,
  • "She's probably right," My conscience said, my heartbeat reverberated immediately
  • "Ohh…no this never cross my mind, but why hasn't he showed up," I said anxiously looking at Nelly,
  • "That's why I said you should have been patient"
  • I sighed looking at my bags, no…I can't stay, I made up my mind already
  • "I can't stay," I said looking away
  • "Fine…it…" Melly was talking to me when she got a message on her cell phone
  • "I'm coming," She said walking away,
  • "Where to….!!" I screamed but she was already out of sight,
  • "Bad girl" I murmured, struggling with my bag as I stood, I wanted to go and get some ice cream when suddenly three black SUVs stopped right before me, I wanted to turn and walk away when the first car was suddenly opened, a tall handsome young man, came down from car looking drop-dead gorgeous, I guess the people at the airport noticed his cuteness too, the next minute sound of camera was clicking everywhere
  • His gorgeous nature sealed my breath away, for some reason I'm forced to compare him with my handsome stranger, but I couldn't pick either of them as both of them gave me the same chills
  • "Put her bags in the car" He ordered his guards
  • "Excuse me, I'm sure you mistook me for someone else," I said trying not to sound rude
  • "Get into the car we have a lot to talk about" He muttered coldly acting kike I didn't just talk
  • "I'm going nowhere with you" I muttered, but the next minutes I was already in his arms, entering the car
  • "Who are you? Listen you got the wrong person I'm not the person you're looking for"
  • "Shut up kitten," He said, and dang! That was almost what the stranger called me
  • "Excuse me?" I said
  • "Who are you?"
  • "Kitten if you don't stop asking I'll use my lips to shut you up"
  • "But.. "
  • "Kitten…." He growls in a warning manner, making me blush.
  • "Fine but who are you?"
  • He smirks and turns toward me,
  • "You're something else" He groans, the next minute, he swaps our position making me sit on his lap, while he deep his face in the crook of my neck
  • He sucked and bite on my neck, crazily eliciting a moan from me, with my fingers dug deep into his hair, pulling him dangerously closer.
  • He licks my neck up to my earlobe, catching me off guard with his whisper
  • "I'm your one-night stranger"
