Sandra (P.O.V)
I got in very tired as my hand slowly touched the spot he held minutes ago. I saw my mum standing near the dining as she cleared the table where she had dinner with my brother. I walked up to her, pecked her with a gentle smile, and walked towards the stairs.
"Who is that guy?" My brother suddenly asked to my surprise, his eyes not leaving me.
"A guy?" my mum looked at us smiling as she wiped her hands with a clean towel.
"Mum!" My brother called out with his eyes fixed out of the dinning window, "Look, his car is still packed outside" he announced and glanced at me with a silly look on his face.
I pulled him away and quickly closed the window, "Stop being annoying Junior" I said unpleased as I gave him a warning stare.
Mum came closer to us, she picked out of the window and saw the black Mercedes-Benz parked outside. "Who is he honey?" she inquired with a teasing look on her face.
"Urgh!" I groaned in frustration as I walked away from them, "Stop mum, he is just someone," I said avoiding her question but i wonder why he hasn't drove off yet.
"Just someone?" mum inquired with a soft chuckle as she walked towards the dinning, her eyebrow raised in a funny way.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes mum, he is just someone" I asserted nonchalantly. "I am hungry" I said changing the topic as I walked up the stairs. I could hear my brother saying some words to my mum but all I wanted right now was to have a refreshing bath.
I walked into my room, undressed and walked under the shower as I allowed the cold touch of the water flow through my body. I closed my eyes and the thought of what happened tonight crawled into my mind. Slowly, I rubbed the arm he held a a I could still feel his touch on my skin, intimidating but loving. I wondered why he tried stopping me from coming out of his car, at first I was scared but when I turned to him, his eyes held so many unspoken words which I couldn't read. He looked like he wanted to say something but held it back and honestly, I badly want to know what thoughts he had on his mind.
I picked up my liquid soap and rubbed some on my body, water dripped down my skin violently. I noticed that he looked different tonight, cool and very presentable unlike the other days we met at my school.
He was in a suit, smelled so nice and posh. And what with the briefcase? He looked more like a businessman than a college guy. I was scared when he offered to help me, but after he assured me the second time that he won't hurt me, I calmed down a bit as i couldn't believe that I could see him again after a week.
I sighed scrubbing my hand, I couldn't help but smile, he helped me and I am grateful, I wonder what could have happened to me if he didn't pass through that route tonight, "Damn you Kate!" I muttered.
After minutes of bathing, I sat on a chair and stared at my reflection in the mirror, a comb slowly doing it work on my hair. I remember his voice, tender and calm, his words still echoed in my head, his smile is so addictive, I just can't get over the.. I knew he checked me out during the ride, his stare was so obvious and I am glad he did, at least, he finds me attractive.
But, why am I thinking of him this way? I asked myself as I got up. He is a total stranger and I should not feel this way towards him. But ever since he appeared in my dreams, I could not just get his face off my head, it like I have been hypnotized or bewitched with a spell that is so difficult to break, "What's happening to me?" I Inquired filled with uncertainty.
A few minutes later, I went downstairs, pucked a box of cereal with a jug of milk. Sat on the dinning and quietly ate my dinner. After eating, I walked up to my mum in the sitting room and I sat down to watch some movies with her. My mum couldn't stop asking me about that guy, a guy that I don't even know this name!.
"If you don't want to tell me anything about him, at least, tell me his name" She asked giving me a look. I couldn't help but lie that we just met for the first time at Charles's party and he offered to take me home. To my surprise, my mum believed me and throughout that night, she didn't question me about him again.
After an hour, I went to my room exhausted and immediately I lay down on my bed, I slept off.
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. It's Saturday so I took the opportunity to sleep well and relax a bit.
After a while, I took my bath, wore red shorts and a baggy shirt.
I walked down the stairs and found mum and Junior all dressed up.
"Where are you guys heading to?" I asked picking up an apple from the dinning. Mum walked up to me and gently placed a kiss on my cheek. "We are heading to your aunt place and we will be there for a while but we will be back this evening" She smiled, picked up her bag and walked towards the door along with Junior. Junior opened the door and mum walked out.
I sigh, sat on a sofa and decided to watch a movie. I sat alone strolling through Netflix looking for something interesting to watch. After what seems like eternity, I picked a romance movie and decided to watch, I should learn more of these things.
A few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door which surprised me. "Did mum forget something?" I asked myself as I glanced at the wall clock, "Maybe Kate is back" I concluded as I walked towards the front door. Immediately, I opened the door and found a face I was never expecting to see this soon.
"Hi" his familiar voice shook my eardrums as I tried not to hide the surprise look on my face.
"Hey" I replied looking stunned, I found my heart racing just at the sight of him.
"Sorry I came unannounced," he let out with a soft smile as he dipped his hand into his pocket "But I think this belongs to you," he announced handing me an earring.
I glaced at his hand and quickly recognized the earring as mine. I thought I kept it in my handbag last night, how is it in his possession?.
I looked at him, smiled, and collected it, "Thank you...".
"Danny," he quickly said cutting me short, "My name is Danny," he disclosed again with his lips stretched in a smile.
"Oh, Danny" I let out, "Thanks" I replied calmly.
He dipped his hand into his pocket and borough out a white card,
"Well, here is my card and in it is my number, just in case you need to call me" he handed me the card.
I nodded and collected it, my eyes fixed on the cat.
Danny inhaled and touched his hair softly, "I have to go now, nice seeing you again Sandra" he said and walked towards his car.
"Bye" I replied quietly as I watch him drive off. "He remembered my name!" I squealed as his car drove off.
I glanced at his card, it's well polished and smelled nice. Smiling in ecstasy, I walked into my house and closed the door.
Getting in, I sat back on the sofa, my eyes not leaving the numbers clearly printed on his card as I didn't understand why he wants me to have it.
"Does he wants us to be friends?" I asked myself and tbe thought of that made my stomach fluttered. Of course he looks older and so handsome, his league far away from mine as we live in two separate worlds. What does he wants from a girl like me? I am not hot or anything near to that, definitely I look too simple to be friends with a guy like him, such a man will have taste in terms of friendship.
Then I remember his name, Danny, nice, I am glad he told me himself without me asking.
I shoved the card inside my pocket and I tried to concentrate on the movie I was watching but I couldn't anymore, his face kept appearing on my mind.
I covered my face and sigh in frustration "This isn't good at all" I confessed to myself as I bit my lower lips looking confused and uncertain.
