When She Bleed

CHAPTER FOUR

Sky's POV

The soft pitter-patter of the rain registered in my ears once I softly opened my eyes, my brows immediately furrowed, I'm sitting in a passenger seat in a stranger's car!

This must be some kind of a dream!

I tried pinching my right cheek but I just flinched from the pain, I'm not dreaming, it's true.

"Don't hurt yourself, baby. Are you still sleepy, hungry?" A soft and a hoarse voice sounded so beautiful in my ears, sounds like a melody!

I turned my head swiftly at the driver's seat and I'm literally blessed with the most beautiful man I could ever see. His nose looks so pretty and I could see his long eye lashes from his side, and the redness of his lips, is he wearing a lipstick?

"W-who a-are you? W-where are y-you t-taking me?" My voice came as a whisper and I immediately blushed with how it came as a stupid stutter, I really hate this stupid toungue of mine!

I saw how his lips formed a quick curve, he's smiling!

"I'm sorry, did I scared you, little baby? I was trying to wake you up before strapping you in my car but you passed out, are you okay now?" He took a glance at me and I can feel my cheeks reddening again and again. "We're heading at the nearest police station, are you okay with it? I already called the police and those three men are arrested, I just begged them that you ride with me 'cause you're still passed out and I don't want you to be frightened by waking up in a police mobile." His voice sounds so calm, like he's making sure I won't be afraid.

"A-arrested?" I croaked out.

"Mhm, yes. Do you want to eat? Or sleep? We can go at the police station tomorrow, I'll just tell them that you need some rest and you're not yet ready, they need your statement but I guess that can wait 'till tomorrow, what do you think baby?" I gripped the hoodie I am wearing. Where's my jacket?

"S-statement? Can w-we go t-tomorrow? C-can I g-go h-home n-now?" I said, fidgeting at the hem of the hoodie.

I heard him let out an audible sigh, "yes you can baby. I don't want you feeling pushed or forced, but first, let me get you some foods, are you okay if we go to my home to cook for you? I mean, yes, that must be unconventional for me to say 'cause you literally met me just a minute ago but you can trust me, are you listening baby?"

I looked up at him from smelling the hoodie, it smells so addicting and smells so good! I felt my cheeks heated and I fidget my fingers from the hem of the hoodie again.

"I'm h-hungry. W-want some p-pasta." I shyly said, peeking up at him.

He chuckled heartily. "Pasta? I can cook for you, baby. You okay with going with me at my home, then if you're uncomfortable, I can drive you again after cooking your pasta, what do you think?"

I looked at everything but him, I feel really shy and nervous. "Um, p-pasta and s-sleep." I whispered.

"Pasta and sleep it is, you can sleep again, I'll just wake you up at home."

I hummed before hugging my body tightly. "C-cold, is i-it still raining?" I asked, obvious from the soft pitter-patter of the rain at the roof of his car.

"It is, baby. You're cold? I can put the heater on, wait."

I just closed my eyes and snuggled deep into the hoodie that smells so good. I fell asleep immediately.

Much too soon, I feel someone nudging me awake, I peek my eyes open, looking around. I'm still inside the car and the beautiful stranger is hovering over me, I didn't feel frightened, I feel safe around him.

"We're here baby. It's almost midnight and I already called the police to tell them you'd give them your statement tomorrow, are you energetic enough to jump out of the car and let's get your tummy something to eat or you want me to carry you inside?" He said, biting his red lips and smiling so pretty at me.

I blushed almost immediately at his last words, I pouted and look up at his hazel dark eyes. It's my first time looking someone in the eyes after so long, and it felt weird, I can feel my tummy bursting, like some butterflies are swarming inside.

"I c-can walk."

He chuckled and get out at soon as possible and moving at my side. He opened the door for me and my blush intensified, he offer his right hand at me. I struggled to unlock my seatbelt. He seemed to notice it before towering over me and helping me unlock the torture device in the name of a seatbelt. I always have trouble unlocking my seatbelt ever since.

"There you go, bambina. You ready to go?" He smiled.

I nodded, grasping his right hand and intertwined them with mine. I heard the beep of the car when he locked it before his left hand find it's way at the small of my back. His hands are so warm.

As gently as possible, he led me to the front door and he unlocked it almost immediately. Once we are safely inside his warm home, he softly led me to his living room after he helped me take off my worn out sneakers. I felt my cheeks reddened, his home felt so nice and here am I, shivering from the cold outside but slowy warming because of the heater in his house.

"Take a seat, amore."

Afraid to get the sofa dirty, I hesitated.

"Bambina, are you okay? Are you uncomfortable, I can drive you home now if you're uncomfortable, I don't want you feeling that way, okay? You can always tell me." He whispered in my ear, his warm breath fanning my right ear and I can feel my stomach flutter.

I shook my head, "I d-don't want y-your sofa to be d-dirty." I shyly bowed my head. Not wanting to see his reaction.

"Sshh, you can't get my sofa dirty. Don't be such a little baby and let me see your beautiful blue eyes. C'mon." He cooed, gently grabbing my shoulder blades and turning my body to face him.

I looked up at him to be met with his hazel dark eyes, he's so tall, like really tall, and so big too!

He chuckled while tugging my loose hair behind my ears. "Let's get your tummy something to eat before you sleep, bambina.

I don't want you sleeping with your stomach empty. You take a seat, be comfortable and warm, while I cook you your pasta." His thumb wiping my right cheek. "And don't forget to tell me if you're uncomfortable, your feelings and emotions are always my priority, and your safety of course, now, be a good girl and rest for me? Hmm, baby?"

I only nodded, suddenly missing Bren and my bed. "We will treat that cute cheek of yours too, it's bruised, does it hurt so much?"

I swiftly shook my head, not really wanting to talk.

"Mhm, take a rest, you can watch the TV too." He said.

He gripped my waist softly and ever so gently pulled my entire body into the sofa, he took the remote at the red ottoman before clicking it and the sound of the TV blared at my ears. I flinched and I heard him cursed underneath his breath.

"I'm so sorry baby! My cousin wants to watch TV with a blaring sound when I'm not home and I guess he was here earlier. I'm really sorry." I felt his body on my side, the sound decreasing and I instantly relaxed.

"That's a good girl. Let me cook for you." He cooed.

But before he could leave me, I gripped the hem of his T-shirt. His eyes softening when it met mine. "What's wrong amore?"

"W-what's y-your name?"

"Kian, baby. My name's Kian. I'm sorry if I haven't told you my name yet, it slipped my mind. You can watch now."

I shyly bit my lip and watch as his back go at a closed door that I assumed was his kitchen.
