Arya stood transfixed on the spot,(what the hell had just happened)she thought,one second her hand was held in a tight grip by Marcus and the next,it has been freed by the handsome stranger who seemed to be enjoying the pain he was putting marcus through,because despite the fact that tears streaming out of Marcus's eyes,the handsome stranger didn't relent.
Arya winced, despite the fact that Marcus scared her,she didn't like the way he was hurting right now,she walked towards the handsome stranger and placed her hand on back and said,
"I think that's enough now, I'm pretty sure he's learnt his lesson".
Christian was angry,he didn't know even know why,he had come to the bar to take a drink after the long argument that had just ensued between he and his girlfriend, Jessica.
He couldn't still believe she just broke up with him over a boy best friend,he didn't normally let things like these get to him,he always knew how to control his emotions but he has to face it,for the first time in his life,he was heartbroken.
But what he couldn't fathom right now was why he chose to defend this girl who he barely knew,there was just something about her, from the moment she stepped into the restaurant to when her date arrived,even though it was obvious the guy was making her uncomfortable,she was still composed.
When he saw him grip her hand like that,he completely lost it,he didn't know what got over him but he acted on impulse.
When she placed her hand in his back,the anger diminished,like it was never there.
He loosened his grip on Marcus's hand and looked him in the face and said
"Now,scram"...
Marcus fled the restaurant without a blink behind him.
Christian looked around him and it was then he noticed that literally everyone in the restaurant was staring,even the bartenders.
He held the dumbstruck Arya and took her outside,(why she is staring at me like I just fell from the sky)he thought.
"Do you have a driver coming to pick you up or do you want me to drop you off at home?" he said nodding towards his dodge Challenger parked opposite the restaurant .
"My driver's here already,thanks for offering,umm,I'm Arya, thank you for coming to my rescue"
"Okay ayra which one's your ride?"he didn't feel the need for introduction,after the terrible breakup he just had,he didn't want to make contact with another female,he kept telling himself he was just being a good person,that's all.
She pointed the Maybach and he walked her to her car,she got in while he held the door for her,she looked at him and said,
"You didn't tell me your name?"
He smirked and said"Just remember me as Christian,your handsome hero"then locked her door and walked off.
Arya was flushed,she didn't know why that little experience excited her,the fact that she felt so much chemistry with a stranger scared and intrigued her at the same time.
As soon as she got home,she offloaded her whole ordeal to margeret not leaving a single detail out,Margaret grinned from ear to ear while she explained and when she was done,she said
"You just met your soulmate,Arya"
Arya laughed long and hard"I don't believe in soulmates,Margaret,he just came to my rescue, that's all"she said while walking towards her bedroom.
Margaret just smiled and muttered "you'll say I told you so".
