” Stop checking me out and please drive ,
Tinkerbell.” He said with so much
sarcasm and a really cute British accent.
” I can’t drive a total stranger. I don’t
even know who you’re.”
” Snow White please drive..” he whine
tiredly.
He’s bad without being told. I mean he
has tattoos and he looks really bad in a
cute way though. What if he has
something bad install for me. Hell no ,
I’m the driver and I’m in charge of the
wheel. But he’s a man and he can easily
outstand me. I look at him and his eyes
meet mine. I gulp , scared to death and
look away. I hope I don’t go to hell
because of this stranger.
” Ariel stop talking and drive this cute
stranger.” That’s my subconsciousness.
She’s really different from me.
I heave a deep breath and take the wheel.
I don’t even know where he’s going and
he didn’t bother to tell me. I decide to
ask.
” Where am I supposed to take you to ?”
He didn’t reply but look at me with his
index finger on his lip. Alright he’s
intimidating.
” What are you doing ?” He ask after the
long silence. This time it was American
accent. Why’s he changing his accent ? I
swear it’s disturbing.
” What am I doing ?”
” I’m asking.”
” I’m driving Mr stranger.” I sigh and for
once I regretted I’m not this type of girl
who’s aggressive and stubborn.
” Pull over.” He said with so much order.
” What !”
” Tinkerbell can you please pull over ?”
” Why should I do that ? I thought…”
Without completing the word , my
passenger already pull the brake. I
breathe in and out and look at him. Did
he want to kill me ?
” Let’s swap seats. I’m driving this time.”
He says with his grey eyes not leaving
mine. Wait , did I talk about his hair ?
Uhh..
” I can’t let you drive my car.” I fire. He
undid his seatbelt and look at me.
” I’m waiting.”
” I won’t let you drive my car.”
” This is not even a car. It’s a box.” He
said with his British accent and I hated
that it carries sarcasm.
” Don’t insult my car. It’s not like you
have one , if not you won’t be stuck in my
car.” I tell him as his brows furrows.
He snorts a chuckle and reach out to lift
me off my seat.
” What are you doing ?” I explain. He
didn’t answer but successfully creep
underneath me to take the wheel. My butt
had to gently touch his lower body and i
feel humiliated, maybe because I felt
weird with that contact.
I stumble to my passenger seat and tuck
back my scattered hair.
” What’s the meaning of that ?” I ask him
still trying to swallow whatever thing he
just did.
He starts the car and change gear. The
speed was terrible and I hopelessly slam
my head against the window. I turn to
look at him and I could see a smirk at
the corner of his lips. I think he just
came out of rehab. I quickly fasten my
seatbelt before I die of hypertension.
” What type of speed is this ?” I ask him
with a high pitch voice.
” That’s how you drive a fuckin car.” He
scoffs. How dare he curse in my car.
Now i feel unholy. How am I supposed to
make heaven with such a man in my car.
” Stop cussing in my car.” I said and
sigh.” I don’t like it.”
He chuckle not even sparing me a
glance.” You’re seriously fuckin me up
right now , Tinkerbell.”
” You did it again. You don’t curse in my
car and secondly I’m not Tinkerbell.”
” Alright Snow White.” He says and
glance at me. My heart almost freeze at
his smirk. He roll his eyes and glance
back at the road still in speed.
He’s weird.
” You’re weird. It’s obvious you’re just
getting out of rehab.” I utter lowly.
He didn’t reply and I watch how he
handles my wheel.
” I’m too cute for that , Snow White.”
Great ! From Tinkerbell to snow White
and then Ariel.
” So what’s a naive Christian doing at this
side of town ?” He ask and stare at me ,
still wearing that smirk.
” I’m not a naive Christian . And what I’m
doing at this side of town is not your
business.”
” You’re naive. At least this could tell.”
He says and motion to the rosary hanging
on the rearview mirror.
” Don’t mock my faith.”
” Why would I do that ?”
” You called me naive.”
” It’s the truth. This isn’t 2003 and now I
think I’m living backwards.” He scoff.” I
feel like traveling to Mars.” He says with
British accent again.
” Why are you swapping accents ? British
accent and then American. What’s with
you ?”
” I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Great , this time he spoke in his obvious
American accent. Why his he faking a
British accent.
” You know i feel like I’m gonna burn in
hell for accepting to give you a ride.”
” It’s really weird you’ll definitely burn in
hell.” He says and stop for a red light.
We’re at the main side of town and I
don’t see my house.
” Stop judging me.” I scoff and look out
of the window.
I feel his eyes stare at me before he
continues driving again.
” You’re too pretty to be this naive.” My
heart beat freeze again. He called me
pretty. But then I remembered Freddie
said same words and took advantage of
me at the end.
My mood changes and I was forced to
bite my thumb. For some reasons I’m
glad I’m away from home. Away from
torment and this total stranger just made
me forget I’ve been through a lot of s**t.
My head begin pounding a bit and I
already forgot I had to take my medicine.
I reach for the bottle water at the
backseat. I pull out a capsule and throw
it inside my mouth before gulping down
the water. I feel my driver’s eyes on me.
I just hope he doesn’t ask what it’s
meant for.
Still holding the water I wipe my forehead
and look out of the window. The sudden
silence was really weird for me. I don’t
know about him , but he looks like a jerk.
He barely cares about anything. I think
that’s what bad people are.
” Ariel , don’t be quick to judge.” My
inner woman snap at me. I turn to look at
this stranger and his grey eyes meet
mine. He shakes his head slightly and
focus back on the road.
” Do you have a direction ? It’s Almost
late and I need to be at home.”
” Christians ? Your mommy is gonna beat
you right ?” He turns to look at me and
furrow his brows.
How can he be awkwardly perfect ? And
weird too.
” I don’t know what you’re talking about.
And just stop talking about my religion.
You don’t even look like a believer.”
He scoffs and stay silent. I roll my eyes
and look at the window. I don’t even
know where we are or where we’re going .
We’re far from town and I’m really scared.
Is he trying to sell me or probably rape
me ?
” Where are we going ? Where are we ? I
don’t even see my house.” I whine.
He didn’t reply but just stare at me and
look away. Luckily he halts the car and
I’m grateful I’m driving my car back to
my house. Surprisingly he pulls the key
out of the ignition and get out of my car.
I sigh and come out too. Of course i can’t
fight him. I’m this nerdy weak girl.
” Stranger , what are you doing ?”
” I won’t stay long. You can stay there if
you want.” I look at his direction and it’s
a coffee shop.
I pursue suit hopelessly and follow him
inside this shop. It’s not that crowded ,
just few customers maybe five. The
average man behind the counter seems to
shriek at the sight of this perfect tatted
figure.
” Where the f**k is my s**t ?” My car
partner yell.
” I…” He stutters and it’s clearly obvious
he’s scared of him. Yeah me too , we’re
not alone.
” I what ? You douche ass prick got my
package and you couldn’t pay up. Nigga
where’s my s**t ?” How can someone
cuss freely and he’s still comfortable.
The guy tries to speak up but tatted
stranger slam his head on the counter. I
felt his pain cause I jolt in my position.
This isn’t the guy I drove with. This one
is super aggressive. The customers in the
coffee shop couldn’t interfere. Are they
scared of him ? They just stare in awe.
The coffee man gives him a bundle of
money with a red face.
” I’m sorry man.” He says after this
weirdo collects the money and shove it
on his pocket.
” f**k you.” He cuss and turn to look at
me with his super cute smirk. He’s
insane. With no one ready to talk back,
they return to their business and i was
force to freeze on my spot.
” You’re ready to go snow white ? I’m
sorry Tinkerbell.” I try to talk but his
hands held my arm and pull me out of
the shop. I dare not restrain not with what
I saw out there. Without saying a word i
slip inside the passenger’s seat and
buckle my seatbelt.
” Are you okay ?” Why does he care all of
a sudden ?
” Yes. Thank you.” I tell him as he
continue driving.
The silence is crazy and I was force to
turn the radio on. Luckily a pastor is
preaching. Stranger scoffs and tune the
radio endlessly. He finally stops when he
heard a pop song pops out of the radio. I
wanted to ask him why he changed the
radio but my mind drift to the weirdo I
saw at the coffee shop. Of course just a
snap and my ankles might be broken.
” That wasn’t fair.” I decide to say. He
rolls his eyes and nod his head to the
music. I don’t listen to this type of music
since I’m living with a semi pastor. I
really hate myself he had to be demoted
because of me.
” Are you always that aggressive ?” Why
do I even care ? He’s a stranger and
we’re never gonna meet again. Just like I
picture , he didn’t reply. I sigh and slump
back on the seat.
“You just moved in right ?” He asks.
Thought he has gone automatically dumb.
“Why do you care ?”
“You’re too pretty to be around this side
of town.” I sigh and cross my arms.
I didn’t reply but just watch how he
handles my wheel. He relax a bit and run
his hand down his messy hair. The sides
of his hair and back are a bit low as it
curly strands are everywhere. His eyes
snap me out of my trespassing as he
raise his brows with a heart melting
smirk.
“What ?” I ask him.
“Stop checking me out like you wanna eat
me. It’s rude to stare.” I huff and bite the
inside of my cheek. Now he’s gonna
think I’m interested in him.
“What makes you think I was checking
you out ?” I raise my brows and lean
against my window to look at him
properly.
“It’s fine. I was checking you out too.
Nice sweaters.” What an asshole.
I glue my face to the window to hide my
blush.
I’m tired same time I’m not tired. My
house is filled with ranting parents.
Parents who finds joy in making you look
useless. The car stops as this stranger
got out. He didn’t pull the keys out this
time. I got out and surprisingly I saw two
cars. Not just any type of cars . I might
be a nerd but I can easily tell if I spot an
expensive car. One is a red Lamborghini
and the other a Bentley.
I watch the stranger stride to the Bentley
as one of the men on black suits give
him a champagne bottle.
” Seriously..” he turns around and smirk
at me.
” You’re okay ?” He ask me.
” Is that your thank you ?” I ask not even
remembering the men on suit who stand
beside the two expensive cars. I feel like
hiding my car in my pants pocket.
He roll his eyes as one of the guys open
the back door of the Bentley as he enters
inside. The suit man shut the door and I
watch the car drive away.
What type of man is that ?
