Love found on the Run

CHAPTER 3: Amina's POV

It was at 8p.m I was sitting with Cassandra discussing the final details of next weeks fashion show, when two mans in dark black suits brutally showed up and started showing my headshot to people for recognition.

I was shocked when Mercy can to tell me that two men were looking for me in connection of their package. I don't remember having anyone's package.

My instincts told me to run, so I grab my purse and made the run. We had a cat and rat chase throughout the building

I finally came to a narrow pathway and bumped into a light skilled man in black jeans and plain white t-shirts and I grabbed onto his arm as I breathed a "please help me" with all my energy and strength. He looked at me in anticipation and I tightly held onto his arm as if pleading with him not to go away leaving me behind. "What's going on?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "I will explain later but not here please" I folded my hands together as l pleaded with him. He raised his hands in defeat "okay, fine. come with me" he dragged me towards a table with a couple and I am sweating in fear while he makes a phone call at the same time. He introduced me to the couple then tells them that he is leaving but will call onces he is ready for another outing.

A cabs pulls up infront of us and we get in. And I must say with my salary I am unable to live such a luxury of taking such luxurious cabs. In the cab he spares me a curious stare and I know I have to explain everything to him sooner or later. We finally stop infront of a crystal blue condo and the man pays the taxi fare and leads me into the Condo's lobby. I am in shock when he opens the door and asks me to come in.

Everything looks so precious and expensive. His apartment is the definition of wealth itself. "Sit anywhere you prefer, let me get you something to drink and please feel free" and he vanishes. He says I must feel free in such an expensive place where I feel like I am filthy unwanted piece of dirty. I opt for a brown leather couch and damn that's one hell of a seat . He finally reappears again holding a tray with three glasses one contains water another apple juice and the last one must be containing alcohol. Plus a bowl of dried raisins. And he whispers onto my neck and my hair stands "there is something to relax on" and my shaking hands pick the apple juice and a bowl of the dried raisins. I didn't even realize that I was hungry throughout the cat and rat chase session that I had earlier.

I am half-way through with my food when I hear his voice smoothly ask "What happened?". I put my plate aside and tell him everything that I know. His face is expression less, I am unable to read his expression or reaction to my story. "So you have a package that you know nothing of " he finally breaks the silence. This man is damn frustrating me didn't he hear what I just told him a while ago? I calmed and controlled myself before responding to his question "Yes, I know nothing about having anyone's package!!".

He clears his throat "That's interesting to hear. Anyways I have to sleep I got work tomorrow, you can sleep in the guest room " This man is rude after all that I told him this is all he has to say. He stands up and I follow him, he opens yet another door "you can sleep in here. Everything is new, the towels;toothbrush and everything in it. If you need me just shout" with that he left me to myself.

I brushed my teeth and then sat in the huge luxurious bathtub for 15minutes, then I dried up and went to sleep in one of the most comfortable and soft beds I've ever slept in.

An alarm woke me up at 4:45 a.m. So I decided to stand up and investigate where the sound is coming from and to my surprise it's from my purse. Yay I still have my phone thank goodness. I finally start my morning routine which consist of 7minutes of prayer and 10 minutes exercise. After I finished with everything I plug my phone on the charger then blasted some gospel music as I opt for a shower instead of the tub. I then dried up and decided to make some breakfast so after wearing my robe I turned down the music and went to search for the kitchen and luckily it wasn't far from the guest room so I found it with ease.

I opened the fridge and everything I needed for my breakfast meal was there then checked the cupboards and they were also stocked. So I opted for pancakes with sausages after I finished preparing everything I blended a mixture of fresh oranges and pine apples for a smoothie. Then I cleaned my pans and dishes plus the kitchen counter. I heard a cough behind me that startled me for a minute then I turned around to face him and kept my head down cause you never know with this man's moods. "Morning, breakfast smells good am I included?" he asks with a grin on his face and his emerald green eyes are glimmering brightly. "You're obviously included. My name is Amina. Sit let me serve you" He goes on the other side of the kitchen counter and sits down. I quickly plate his dish with medium portions of everything and pours a half glass of the smooth for him and placed the food in front of him. He stands up and turns on the coffee maker "sorry, I don't start my day without coffee" he says and then goes back to sit. I take my plate and starts eating.

15 minutes later

"Thanks for breakfast, but I need to go. I am running late" I look at him and wonder how I didn't notice his red business suit. "Uhmm are you going out?" he asks me with a serious look. I first hesitate before responding "I really don't know if it's safe for me to go out" I rub my face in frustration. " You can stay if you want. but if you happen to leave. let the security officer know. So he locks up" he say "but if you want you're more than welcome to stay. a driver can take you to your apartment to get some of your belongings" he moved closer to me and kissed my forehead then he left. I finally released a breath I didn't know that I was holding in. uhh yoh. Me staying in here? How does that solve my problem in the long run?. Please help me. I need help. I finally get into my right senses, so I cleaned the counter and washed out the dishes and decided to get some work done on my phone. I need the money so I sent back home to my dad and siblings. If you're wondering whether I've decided to stay here or not well sorry to disappoint you. I too do not know. I don't even know the strange man's name. it's a big shame really.
