Drive. I'll pay you!
I hastily walked away from Mr Barett's restaurant. I'd be toast meat if he caught me
"Get back here Elsie and pay for the damage you caused" Mr Barett's loud angry voice reached my ears. I hastened my steps even more
I got to the roadside, opened the first car I saw. Thankfully, it wasn't locked. I got into the passenger's seat and told the person in the driver's seat "Drive now . I'll pay you" I looked outside the window and saw Mr Barett running towards my direction with his fingers balled into fists
"Drive!! Can't you hear me?" I yelled at the person in the driver's seat, still facing outside the window. Mr Barett was almost where I was. I could see his mouth moving, but I couldn't hear what he was saying because the window of the car was wined up
The driver started the car and sped off. I looked back at Mr Barett's figure getting smaller and smaller, he kicked the dust and entered into his restaurant back
I rested my head on the headrest of the car and placed my hand on my forehead. That day was my payday, the day I got my salary from work. Most of my days entailed me having noodles for dinner, not because I chose to, but because that was usually the only food left in my kitchen
When I get paid my salary, I would usually treat myself to a nice dinner at Mr Barett's. That Friday, was like the other paydays, having a sumptuous meal at Mr Barett's until I unintentionally shattered his most priced possession
Mr Barett always boast about how he got a priceless vase in his possession. He would usually keep the vase in the middle of the counter where we made our orders. He said it was too precious to be hidden from the world. The vase was from his favourite gaffer, Antonio Smith. He got the chance to meet him during his early years in school.
How do I know all these? Mr Barett won't miss the slightest opportunity in telling his customers about how he got the vase. The vase was an equisite one, its bulb shape made it stand out from the usual vases. It was transparent and glowed in the dark. The mouth of the vase was painted with colours that could steal one's breath away. It was no doubt beautiful
I had finished eating my dinner when I wanted to pay my bill when i accidentally hit the case causing it to fall on the floor and shatter. Half of the fault went to Mr Barett. Why on earth would he keep his valuable in such an opened place??
I knew I was dead meat when I saw shards of the vase on the floor. I dropped the money on the counter and immediately took to my heels. Mr Barrett probably heard shattering which caused him to leave his office and come out.
And that was how I got into a stranger's car
After we've gotten pretty far from the restaurant, the car halted. I brought out a hundred dollars and stretched it to the man
"Here, thanks. You save me from a huge mess" I turned my head to the man and my heart skipped a beat. I didn't once face the man throughout the entire car ride. I didn't realize i have been in the same car with an angel... No, not an angel, a god
He was looking straight ahead at the road. His super fair skin made his black shirt color pop. The shirt hugged his body so tight that i was able to see the outline of his muscles and abs through the shirt. The first three buttons were undone, completely exposing his toned chest.
I could only see his side view. His eyelashes almost made me cower as a lady. His nose was slim and pointed, his thin lips were red in color, his jaw was sharp. His hands that gripped the steering wheel had veins bulging from them. Captivating! All those features in one person, a whole piece of perfection.
I almost drooled looking at him. I looked around the car and thought I was in heaven. It reeked of wealth! It was a model I had never come across before. I suddenly felt stupid for offering him a hundred dollars.
"I.. I... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to barge into your car like that. You see......"
"Get out" The man cut me off. His deep reverberating voice echoed in my head. It felt like I was been hypnotised. I couldn't decipher what he said. He said something like come back or so
"Out" The man repeated
Oh! That was what he said. I grabbed my back and got down from the car, feeling a bit dejected. It's not everyday you get so close to a god alright!
"I'm so sorry, and I'm really grateful" I said before highlighting from the car. The car sped off immediately I got down
I boarded a taxi and went home.
I could hear my little brother conversing with his game buddies over the phone from outside
I opened the door and sat on the couch. Harry still hadn't noticed I came in. His had his headphone on and his fingers were rapidly moving over the screen of his phone, tapping and tapping
"There's an enemy at your back, Jack, be careful!"
"Sniper, sniper"
"..."
Harry yelled as he played. The game was called call of duty or something of that sort
"Good game, guys" Harry said before removing his headphone
"Big sis, you're back" Finally, he noticed someone was around
"Well, obviously. You're not seeing a ghost" I stood up and went to the kitchen, made a list of what we needed and went back to the living room
"Playing games all day is not lucrative, Harry. Focus on school" I reprimanded.
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed. He was tired of explaining to his sister that gaming was already a legit business and people earned from it.
Harry merely ignored me and went to his room. I went to my room too and slumped my body on the bed. My mind drifted to that man " What perfection!" I thought
I slept off after creating scenarios of me and him together in my mind. I mean who wouldn't??
Somewhere in the outskirts of the city, a black mayback passed through a golden gate and halted in front of a two-storey mansion. The house was painted white with red and black roofing. It had beautiful high arched windows and a large remotable door. The surroundings was filled with flowers of different kind and a large swimming pool could be sighted at the left side of the house
Third person's POV
A fountain elegantly sat in the middle of the compound. Damien parked his car in his lot. He was about to get down when he saw the hundred dollars on his control. He merely glanced at it before entering his house. Damien didn't think much of the girl earlier. Ladies throw themselves at him everyday anyway, he saw her as no different
He entered my house and saw Alden, his best friend on the couch. He wore a plain white high-collar shirt and blue trousers, toppled with a navy blue jacket. He sat with his left leg over the other as he flipped through the newspaper in his hand
It wasn't unusual to find him in Damien's house. He stays in Damien's house more than he stays at his. Damien went to the living room and sat next to him
Alden sipped his tea and said without looking at him" You ready for training?"
That sounded like a question, but Damien knew Alden was telling me to get off and start training. Gerald dropped his teacup and went outside, while Damien tailed behind him
