The Mystery Guy!

Hi, my name is Rayne, I'm 24, live in New York and work is my life recently. Not that I'm complaining but its tiring. Today is Monday which means i have a meeting today at 10am I don't particularly like them, just a bunch of alpha males discussing business and I'm just there typing away. This day is going to be different though, it's the day I meet him. I made a promise to myself, don't look at him, don't talk to him, don't even acknowledge his existence but I think that is a promise I will break. He walks into the room, i'm already hooked on his smell ooh this is not good! I AM DOOMED! When I thought he wasn't looking, i snuck in a peek! He's out of this world! Carla is going to have a field day with this, do i have to tell her I thought. I made a mental note to text Carla as soon as I was on break, girls night will be coming early this week! Back to earth Rayne noticed he was watching me, very intensely and I could feel it, he knew it, I knew it. Just a few more minutes and I can get out of here, his gaze still on my every move.... Getting out of there and into the fresh air had never felt so refreshing! That was intense! Now the question is, why can't I get him out of my head? What is wrong with me. I don't even know him! Yet, something about him just draws you in, his eyes, his smell, his looks.. his dress style. Hopefully that will be the last I see of him for a while. Phew! 5pm hooray HOMETIME! WEEKEND TIME! Now to some that means hitting the town, to me that means only a few things, lots of food, TV, PJs and books. Walking back to my car, my phone pings in my bag, expecting it to be Carla wanting a few drinks tonight, not really my thing, but I check anyway. A text message from an unknown number saying "Hi Beautiful" I ignore it until i get home. Home at last, yet that message is still replaying in my mind. I decided to text the number back with a simple "who are you?" Better than ignoring I guess. A few mins later another text pings through "Maybe your prince charming, who knows" so it is a dude, wait, how on earth did he get my number then I thought, If Carla has tried to set me up again, i will flip my lid at her. I open my messages, click Carla's name and message "please tell me you didn't give my number out to some dude? R x " Now to wait for her reply. 10 mins later. PING! "Hi Ray, No I promise you it isn't me this time, I'm out with Chad atm but keep me informed C x " Just for clarification Chad is her fiance. Lucky girl. Although he is a bit of a player and creep. Ping! Honestly feel like turning my phone off right now. "Please don't tell me you've forgotten me already :( xx" Guess who? Yes, the unknown number. I'm really not sure whether to ignore or just block the damn number. 10.30pm rolls around, my bed is calling me. Freshly showered, clean pjs and a good book, I slip into my bed, snuggle down and begin to read. I didn't even finish the first sentence, PING! "Goodnight beautiful! sweet dreams, dream of me! xx" of course unknown number. I put my phone on silent, and drifted off to bed... The sun beamed and that was my cue to get my Saturday started. Out of bed I climbed, fresh shower, and a nice chilled glass of apple juice. Today's agenda, go shopping for groceries and two birthday gifts, Carla and my mum. I hate shopping, but needs to be done. Ready to go, I hop in my car and drive to the mall. Carla likes jewelry so she's not hard to buy for, my mum loves the homemade chocolate store so that's my first stop. I will look around to see what else I can grab for her. I got Carla the most beautiful necklace & bracelet set. She will love it THEN it hit me, it is her birthday party TONIGHT. I grabbed some lunch at a nearby cafe then grabbed myself a fresh new outfit for tonight and some new nude make up. I will make an effort for her, she's my best friend. Finally, on my way up to the car park, i tripped, not really a surprise with me, Miss Clumsy I felt someone help me before I embarrassed myself and fell right onto my face. It Was Him. From work. He just saw that, that's it I'm about to die of embarrassment! "Hey beautiful, are you okay?" I couldn't even get any words out so I just gave a little smile, gathered my bags and walked to my car. My face is bright red at this point. PING! "Hey beautiful, I hope I didn't startle you just now, I really hope you're ok. xx" O.M.G it's him! The guy from work! No! How? Why? How the hell did he get my number! So many questions running around my mind. "Hey, I'm fine thank you. How did you get my number & why are you texting me?" I'm totally freaking out. Breathe. Carla's party starts in 3hours & I need to get ready. Off home I drive, my phone pinging twice on the drive home. One from Carla One from him "I'm glad you're okay beautiful, I couldn't let that gorgeous face hit the floor. I may of had a snoop on the company's employee contact information. Please don't be mad, I couldn't help myself xx" Carla. Hey girl, are you ready to parttttyyy tonight, I promise, no match making, I want you to relax and have fun girl, love yooouuu xx" First reply to mystery guy. "Hi, i'm not angry. More surprised, and thank you for the compliment. May I ask why you feel the need to message me?" Carla. "Hey girl! Happy Birthday! Thank you. Appreciate it! Loveyoou xx" Time for a wind down bath, lots of bubbles. Hits the spot. An hour passes, I haven't checked my phone since, but I need to get ready. I've decided on a little black dress, heels, hair half up half down curled and natural make up, squirt of perfume and i'm ready to go. Carla loves her gift! She can't stop showing it off, I'm glad she loves it although I'm a little bored just sitting in a booth on my own, I'm not one for socialising so I just keep out of the way. Ping! "You look stunning tonight! Why are you sitting alone?" Panicking, I start to look around the room, but it was busy everywhere and I gave up but I did message back. "Hey, how do you know that?" I walk outside for some air, unknown to me, I got followed by a group of drunk dudes, as i stepped outside, they started to circle me so I couldn't escape. They were making remarks but I couldn't understand them. I closed my eyes getting ready mentally to do what I had to do to escape. I saw one of them as I was closing my eyes reach out his hand to touch me, that touch never came. I opened my eyes slightly to see a man with his face covered come to my rescue. He was taking on these four guys alone! I had to help him, although he did very well without my help the four guys ran and quickly at that. I closed my eyes tightly shut and slid down the wall crying and shaking. I felt a hand on my shoulder with a very gentle voice asking if I was okay. I gave him my thanks for saving me and went to walk off- but he grabbed my wrist and told me to get in the car, i objected stating I appreciate what he did for me but I didn't know him. He removed his face covering. IT WAS HIM! Mystery guy! Amongst my better judgment I did as he asked, I got into his car. I asked where we were going? He just smirked and looked out of the window. It then hit me, I needed to text Carla to tell her I'm okay I just left early and I'll explain why soon. As I took out my phone, I caught his attention, a suspicious looking man staring at me wondering what I'm doing with my phone. I put his mind at ease telling him I was just texting my best friend to explain why I'm not there anymore, to save her worrying. I showed him the message I'd sent, the suspicious look soon vanishing. After around an hour and a half, we pulled up to the most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was truly stunning. He opened my door and held out his hand, me being me, I refused still not trusting him fully. He looked a bit hurt but I needed answers and soon. Inside was just as beautiful as outside. He asked me to sit down and got a drink of water. He began talking, he mentioned the texts he'd been sending me, explained that the first time he saw me, he couldn't help himself, I had him captured, whatever that means. Then he moved on to tonight in the club, I haven't managed a word yet, so I continue listening to him, the club that we were in, he owns. Of course he does. He saw me leaving and decided to try and catch me before I left but what he saw wasn't me leaving but getting surrounded by drunk fools. Before he said anything else, I spoke up and asked why he was there in the first place? He explained that upstairs area has offices and he was attending business there. We spoke for a while before he ordered me to a shower and then bed. I guess a ride back home was out of the question at 3am, although I offered to call a cab he refused, a little angry I think. He reminded me of the ordeal just a few hours ago and reminded me I was safe here, that I needed rest. I gave in. Morning came too quick, I could smell bacon and waffles, it smells delicious. I walk into the kitchen, I forgot that all I was wearing was his shirt, yes I went bright red. He heard me, turned to look at me, just staring. I had to remind him with a chuckle that the bacon was burning. He immediately took it out of the pan and served it. I didn't know what to talk about, so me being me blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "how many girls a week do you bring here"? The poor guy nearly choked on his waffle, a little taken back, he simply said, "I don't, you are the first girl I've bought here, ever". At first I clearly didn't believe him, his eyes looking like they were telling the truth but hiding a sadness. That story is for another day I thought. I needed to get home. I thanked him for the food and stood up, he asked where I was going, I simply told him to get dressed and then head home. His eyes full of disappointment. I noticed that he noticed I knew. He then managed to speak up and say I was welcome to stay another night. I think this guy wanted company. "Thank you Sir, but I need to go home, I have work tomorrow my laptop, work phone etc are all at my place". "Give me ten minutes" he said to me. I gave him a puzzled look, then he left the room. Around 15 mins went by, he strolls into the room. "I was just on call to your boss, I explained what had happened last night, he is in agreement with me that you should take a week off. I'd like it very much if you'd consider spending the week here with me". A week off does sound nice, I've worked none stop since joining the firm 3years ago. Is it silly of me to actually be considering this? He's been nothing but sweet to me, saved me twice! "Rayne, are you okay sweetie?" His voice knocks me off my train of thought. "I was thinking about your offer, I agree, but I have no clothes or you know ladies items". I heard him chuckle to himself, then he said not to worry, there's a mall 30 mins away that we can go too to pick up essentials. We got into the car, wearing my outfit from last night, not really comfortable just going out in a shirt. I got what I needed but Mr MoneyBags over here wouldn't let me pay for anything. ugh. After we got back into the car, he said we had one more stop to make before we head back to the apartment. A grocery store. He grabbed a trolley and started piling it with food, mostly movie kind of food. "Rayne, I thought this week, we could binge watch movies, how does that sound? Anything you'd like to add? If so put it in" There is one thing I said, "What is your name? I think it's important to know that since we will be spending a week together". I hear him chuckle again, it's a sweet sound, inbetween chuckles, he manages to say "Ashley". Not a name I'd of ever guessed. "Well, Hello Ashley" I say with a giggle. He pulls me in for a cuddle and I don't pull away. I'm in trouble. Real trouble with this guy. After the shopping trip we put everything away, Ashley orders me to take some popcorn and soda to the theater, of course this apartment has one. I wait for him to join me, while looking for some romantic film to make him suffer through. Hmm I stumble across fifty shades of grey and decide this one. I've watched it a few times before so I know what to expect, but i'm dying to see his face. I make a mental note that after the movie to text Carla. I haven't since yesterday. In comes Ashley with a bemused look on his face, "Is this what you've chosen Honey, who knew such an innocent little doll had these fantasies" He was of course mocking me. I just rolled my eyes and patted the seat next to me. Slowly my guard is dropping around this guy. The s*x scene comes on and I can sense Ashley shift, I hear him mutter a couple of things, then he excuses himself for a toilet break and I pause, I laugh because damn i'm making sure he watches this bit! 5 minutes later, he returns. I press play and slyly catch glimpses of him. He's perfect. So perfect, but I will never admit that to him. He makes it through the s*x scenes occasionally shifting and squirming. What is wrong with him. We got interrupted by the door. Ashley goes to open the door and I go wash the popcorn dish then put the soda cans back in the fridge. I hear a female voice aswell as Ashley's, he's telling her to go and she's demanding she's let in so of course she wanders in like she owns the place. "Ashley baby, did you hire a maid finally?" What the f*ck did she just say mentally in my head I said to myself. "Excuse me, who the hell do you think you're calling a maid?" She just raises her eyebrows at me which just angers me and poor Ashley is just looking between us both. The fake haired blonde tanned slim barbie looks me up and down and replies with "You obviously, look at you, you look like you're homeless" Now I'm getting p*ssed. "Look here you little troll looking barbie, i'm here because Ashley asked me to stay for a week, and by the looks of his face, he doesn't want you here either, filling the place up with your cheap perfume" I have no idea where that came from, I heard Ashley gasp, she of course started crying on Ashley's shoulder, then her stupid voice turns whiney and asks Ashley to tell me to get out. I did something I'd never thought I'd do. I went into the bedroom, got my bag, and walked out the door.
