Nora's POV:--
"Thank you. Do visit again, Nora." Zoe, the cashier said with a sweet smile.
I gave my own smile to her.
She was two years older than me and was a single mom.
I was their regular customer. I had been coming here from last three years. So we were kind of friends.
Their chocolate pastries are literally the best.
When I heard someone yelling, I turned around to see the hotel manager, 'Mr. Walter' was yelling on a boy of probably my age.
The boy was sitting with his back to me, so I can't see his face.
Suddenly that boy stands up and turn around. The moment I saw his face, a gasp leaves my lips.
It was unfortunately, that rude jerk. 'Ryan Knights'.
He was looking with a bored look at the manager.
I turn around and asked Zoe. "What's the matter?"
"Oh, about that hotty." She whistle.
"Actually, he says he forgot to bring his wallet."
"And is trying to assure that he will definitely pay tomorrow." She shrugs.
"I will pay for him." I stated.
"Seems like you are interested in him." She teases.
"It's nothing like that, Zoe. He's in the same college as me." I retorted.
I hand her my credit card again.
After, she was done, she gave it back again. Giving Ryan a last glance, I exit the restaurant.
I was walking happily. Just thinking about eating this delicious pastry while watching Kdrama was making me so happy.
"You shouldn't had done that."
A horrific scream escaped from me, suddenly seeing him beside me. A few people around me stop walking and gave me a weird look.
My heart was beating so fast.
I started taking deep breaths to calm myself down.
"Did I scare you?" He asked with a cocky smile.
I gave him one of my meanest glare.
"Of course. You should make your presence known."
"Unless, you want that person to die due to heart attack."
"Okay. I will keep that in mind." He said.
"About that paying for you, I am sure you would have done the same for me." I starts walking.
"Nope. Why would I pay for the girl who would randomly come and kiss me." He walks by my side.
My mouth was hung open.
"It was a dare."
"So?" He asked.
Not knowing what to say. I kept my mouth shut. None of us spoke, the only sound could be heard was of our footsteps and the horns of the vehicle. And the chattering of kids and adults.
But although, there were silence between us, I felt comfortable with him.
"Long time no see, Knights."
A group of four tall guys were standing right in front of us. Although, they were handsome but they were giving me some bad vibes. All of them were looking at Ryan with anger look on their faces.
Whereas, Ryan face was blank.
"I knew we would meet someday. But didn't knew that day would be so early." Ryan hissed.
One of the guys look at me, finally noticing another presence other than Ryan. He take my whole body in, making me uneasy. A whistle left his mouth, which caught the attention of the other guys.
"Your girlfriend is quite pretty." Said the same guy.
"You wouldn't mind sharing her with us." Said the other guy, lustly.
A shiver of disgust ran through my body.
They were walking towards me.
When a warm hand intertwines with mine. If I am not wrong, I think I felt a little spark. And before I knew we were running in the night on the streets with them on our back.
It was quite thrilling.
We ran as fast as if our life is on the line.
My hair that was in a bun came open. My waist length brown hair was flowing in the air.
We took a left and then right. I look behind me to see they were following us, but they were quite far away from us.
I was running out of breath and my leg was paining from running so long. We took a right and hide behind a car in the corner. It was dark, so I was sure they wouldn't find us here.
His hand left mine. I felt a little disappointed.
"I didn't took you the one who runs away in such situation." I teased.
My breath hitch seeing how close we were.
"I ran away only because you were with me." Ryan blurted.
"Using me as an excuse." I lowly whispers to myself.
"I heard that."
"I didn't wanted you to get hurt because of me." He muttered while staring at me.
The moment my eyes met his, that weird sensation again appear on my stomach.
"I know how to fight."
"Yeah, sure with girls." He snickers.
"I am serious." I defended.
"Yeah, you sure are." He roll his eyes.
He bought his hand near my face and tucks my hair right behind my ear. My cheeks were literally red, due to this. Making me look like a tomato.
Suddenly, something else caught my attention.
I look at my hand to see the plastic bag that I was holding in which pastries were there. I bring the box out of the bag and open up to see the pastries were destroyed. A painful groan escapes from me.
"You can't be serious. In a situation like this, you are crying just because of this." He chuckles.
"You better don't say anything." I threatened.
"Because of you my babies are not alive." I yelled at him angrily.
"Might as well as throw them." He shrugs.
He takes it from me and throw it across from us.
"I hope I am not interrupting something." A boy from that gang said with an evil smile on his face.
We both stand up, he was alone and was looking at us with a look that says, 'You both are dead'.
I walk towards him and wrap my hands around his neck.
Looking at him while battling my eyelashes.
"I want to give you something."
"NORA!!!!!" Ryan yells at me with disbelief.
It was the very first time he called me by my name. Hearing my name from him, was making me love my name even more.
But the thing that kept roaming my mind was, 'How does he knew my name?'.
"Yeah sure." The guy grins.
With that I threw a punch on his head and in a few seconds he was on the ground unconscious.
That's the benefit of having a boy best friend. Harry used to teach Me and Sarah how to fight in such situations.
Ryan eyes were wide open still not believing what happen just now. He was opening his mouth and then closing it for a whole five minutes, totally at loss of words.
"Let's go. Never underestimate a girl, especially me." I flips my hair and starts walking, leaving him behind.
