Chapter 5

  • Chapter 5
  • "Don't insult my car. It's not like you have one, if not you won't be stuck in my car." I tell him as his brows furrows.
  • He snorts out a chuckle and reaches out to lift me off my seat.
  • "What are you doing?" I exclaim. He doesn't answer but successfully creeps underneath me to take the wheel. My butt had to gently touch his lower body and i feel humiliated, maybe because I felt weird with that contact.
  • I stumble to my passenger seat and tuck back my scattered hair.
  • "What's the meaning of that?" I ask him, trying so hard to swallow whatever thing he just did.
  • He starts the car and changes gear. The speed was terrible and I hopelessly slam my head against the headrest. I turn to look at him and I could see a smirk at the corner of his lips. I think he just came out of rehab. I quickly fasten my seatbelt before I die of hypertension.
  • "What type of speed is this?" I ask him with a high pitch voice.
  • "That's how you drive a fuckin car." He scoffs. How dare he curse in my car. Now i feel unholy. How am I supposed to make heaven with such a man in my car.
  • "Stop cussing in my car." I say and sigh. "I don't like it."
  • He chuckles not even sparing me a glance." You're seriously fuckin with me right now, Tinkerbell."
  • "You did it again. You don't curse in my car and secondly I'm not Tinkerbell."
  • "Alright Snow White." He says and glances at me. My heart almost freezes at his smirk. He rolls his eyes and glance back at the road still in speed.
  • He's weird.
  • "You're weird. It's obvious you're just getting out of rehab." I utter lowly.
  • He doesn't reply and I watch how he handles my wheel.
  • "I'm too cute for that, Snow White." Great! From Tinkerbell to snow White and then Ariel.
  • "So what's a naive Christian doing at this side of town?" He asks and stares at me, still wearing that smirk.
  • "I'm not a naive Christian. And what I'm doing at this side of town it's not your business."
  • "You're naive. At least this could tell." He says and points to the rosary hanging on the rearview mirror.
  • "Don't mock my faith."
  • "Why would I do that?"
  • "You called me naive."
  • "It's the truth. This isn't 2003 and now I think I'm living backwards." He scoffs. "I feel like traveling to Mars." He says with his British accent again.
  • "Why are you swapping accents? British accent and then American. What's with you?"
  • "I don't know what you're talking about." Great, this time he spoke in his obvious American accent. Why his he faking a British accent.
  • "You know i feel like I'm gonna burn in hell for accepting to give you a ride."
  • "It's really weird you'll definitely burn in hell." He says and stops for a red light. We're at the main side of town and I don't see my house.
  • "Stop judging me." I scoff and look out the window.
  • I feel his eyes stare at me before he continues driving again.
  • "You're too pretty to be this naive." My heartbeat freeze again. He called me pretty. But then I remembered Freddie said same words and took advantage of me at the end.
  • My mood change and I was forced to bite my thumb. For some reasons I'm glad I'm away from home. Away from torment and this total stranger just made me forget I've been through a lot of shit. My head begin pounding a bit and I already forgot I had to take my medicine. I reach for the bottled water at the backseat. I pull out a capsule and throw it inside my mouth before gulping down the water. I feel my driver's eyes on me. I just hope he doesn't ask what it's meant for.
  • Still holding the water, I wipe my forehead and look out the window. The sudden silence was really weird for me. I don't know about him, but he looks like a jerk. He barely cares about anything. I think that's what bad people are.
  • "Ariel, don't be quick to judge." My inner woman snaps at me. I turn to look at this stranger and his grey eyes meet mine. He shakes his head slightly and focus back on the road.
  • "Do you have a direction? It's Almost late and I need to be at home."
  • "Your mommy is gonna beat you right?" He turns to look at me and furrows his brows.
  • How can he be awkwardly perfect and weird too?
  • "I don't know what you're talking about. And just stop talking about my religion. You don't even look like a believer."
  • He scoffs and stays silent. I roll my eyes and look out the window. I don't even know where we are or where we're going. We're far from town and I'm really scared. Is he trying to sell me or probably rape me?
  • "Where are we going? Where are we? I don't even see my house." I whine.
  • He doesn't reply but just stares at me and looks away. Luckily he halts the car and I'm grateful I'm driving my car back to my house. Surprisingly he pulls the key out of the ignition and get out of my car. I sigh and come out too. Of course i can't fight him. I'm this nerdy weak girl.
  • "Stranger, what are you doing?"
  • "I won't stay long. You can stay there if you want." I look at his direction and it's a coffee shop.
  • I pursue suit hopelessly and follow him inside this shop. It's not that crowded, just few customers maybe five. The average man behind the counter seems to shriek at the sight of this perfect tatted figure. I guess that's the Cafe owner.
  • "Where the fuck is my shit?" My car partner yells.
  • "I..." The Cafe owner stutters and it's clearly obvious he's scared of him. Yeah me too, we're not alone.
  • "I what? You douche ass prick got my package and you couldn't pay up. Dude, where's my shit?" How can someone cuss freely and he's still comfortable.
  • The guy tries to speak up but tatted stranger slams his head on the counter. I felt his pain cause I jolt in my position. This isn't the guy I drove with. This one is super aggressive. The customers in the coffee shop couldn't interfere. Are they scared of him? They just stare in awe.
  • The coffee man gives him a bundle of money with a red face.
  • "I'm sorry man." He says after this weirdo collects the money and shove it in his pocket.
  • "Fuck you." He cusses and turns to look at me with his super cute smirk. He's insane. With no one ready to talk back, they return to their businesses and i was forced to freeze on my spot.
