7 : Stranger Danger - Part 2

Lily

I made the man take a seat in the living room and when I came back with a first aid box in my hand, I caught myself with a mouth open at the sight of half-naked man. The man had taken off his shirt, dabbing the cloth I had given him for his wound, turning the cloth red now. His slightly muscular form was now moving  to dab the side of his stomach, there was no doubt he has been stabbed with a knife and now it was all with blood.

''Here, please help yourself and if you need anything else, just call me, I will be in the kitchen,'' averting my eyes from the man, I started to turn around when I heard him speak.

''And here I thought you would help the injured man,'' he commented making me look up at him. His golden eyes peering down my blue ones.

'' I'm sure if you have the energy to joke around then you can also finish tending to your own wounds yourself,'' I got a little angry. Who the heck he think he is!

The man smirked,'' A little hospitality would be really thankful you know? I don't think I am strong enough to take an advantage of you.''

Those words pierced sudden fear in me and I gulped,'' Of course. Not every day I let some strange men come in my house. This is really fun, yeaahhh,'' With my hands raised, I laughed dramatically.

Okey, what was that?

About my reaction, the man smiled,'' You're really strange human. What's your name?'' He asked.

Sharing my name wasn't a problem. I wasn't really important or anything special so it wasn't a big deal anyway.

''Lily,'' I could hear the cap of antiseptic being opened and closed as I answered, '' What about you? Why were you being chasing after?''

''Curious little thing aren't you. Let just say that some things are better not knowing and left ignored. What was the saying? Oh, the curiosity killed the cat. That's the right one, yes? So we will stop right here but I think I will need another favor from you,'' I heard him say to me as I turned back to see if he was done bandanging himself. He had left his bloody shirt on the ground and now wore only his black cloak. I could see his muscular form and I shamefully stared at his six pack abs. Can you really blame me?

''What is it?'' My voice trembled.

''I think my body has restored back to its original state,'' he said stalking towards me making me gulp.

''Congratulations?'' I asked him wearily making him smile.

''Well, thank you but I'm feeling very very hungry right now,'' making me panic,'' I would like to eat something really delicious so that I can quench my hunger.''

''I- I don't think I can help you with that, Sir…'' I said slowly backing towards the wall and I felt my back hit the wall as my head began to feel dizzy.

The man leaned towards me and then said,'' If it's not chocolate, I'm fine with ice cream too.''

''Huh?''

''I always feel like eating something delicious when it rains, don't you? That feeling when you're inside escaping from the real world?'' he asked me with that charming smile of his making me smile back uneasily at him.

I didn't know why I thought a second that he will eat me. When I came back from the kitchen with the the chocolate bar in my hand, the man had already left with a note on the living room table.

'Thanks for taking care of me.'

He hadn't signed neither had he revealed his name at the end. Sighing, I took the chocolate and took a bite from it. The men were really strange, I thought to myself as small smile graced my lips.
