i clutch on to the tin long sleeve sweater I had worn which was definitely a bad choice considering it was close to winner. with my shaky hands I unlocked my phone to check the time as it read 10:48pm and my battery was literally 6percentage.
I frowned the Uber driver said he would be here since 45 minutes ago. The asshole was definitely not coming judging by everything it's either a huge monster comes and eat me or I'll die of the cold. I suck in a deep breath, my phone was going to shutdown soon.
I had only one option and that was to call the last person I would ever call even if the world was ending but figuring that his office was not far away he was my last option or I could die which wasn't really a good option.
it rang once and internally I wished he wouldn't pick up so I chanted
"please don't pick up" it rang the second time and again I said "please don't pick up" even though I know he was my last option but still he was sort of a pain in the ass.
On the third ring I was actually getting annoyed that he hadn't picked up he usually must have picked up by now. On the fourth ring he picked up and my heart skipped a beat. "here we go" I whispered to myself.
A low raspy voice said through my phone against my cold skin "What do want Beverly"
I rolled my eyes I wasn't surprised he never called me by my name always Beverly which was really annoying. I cleared my throat my eyes landing on the cold dark alley near by I didn't even want to imagine what would be there maybe a clown who eats people.
"I'm going to cut the call if you don't say a damn word" He said
if I wasn't desperate I would probably had done him the honours by cutting it myself.
"Hello there...how are you?" I tried to be as nice as possible.
"what do you want"
Rude as much..i rolled my eyes for the second time in just a few minutes..
"I'm at the bus stop near my work place and I've been trying to reach out to an Uber but non is available at the moment and I tried calling some of my friends but they can't come so can you-"
"come pick you up" He finished my sentence..At least he was fast to catch up on where I'm headed.
I heard an deep breath let out and an audible sigh before the line was cut. I started at my phone in shock and horror. Did he just cut the call!!
was he even coming before I could click on his number again my phone had turned black showing the brand name before shutting down.
I sat down on the bench near by...if I live through this then I'll be going to jail for murder cause I'm going to kill him.
After what seems like ages a Dark SUV pulled up near me with tinted glass. my first I instinct was to run scratch that I was already on my feet ready to run at least that early morning jog I took once or twice a week wasn't for waste and besides used to run in highschool even though that was years ago.
The glass pulled down as the dark silhouette reflected on Damon Santiago strong face. His dark blue eyes looked at me like they were looking into my soul.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare at me..Get in the f*****g car Beverly"
I resisted the urge to say 'Asshat at least tell me that you were f*****g coming than pulling up like some f*****g kidnapper' I bit my bottom lips and got into the car as the warm air hug my cold skin and the strong masculine cologne hit my nostrils.
There was not doubt he was a meticulous clean freak. I quickly put on my seat belt as he started driving.
