His name was Nathaniel

"W-who are you? And what are you doing here?" Adaliya asked this odd boy.

Nathaniel had dark brown, short wavy hair and blue with a hint of green coloured eyes, was very tall and lean.

Nathaniel was awestruck when he saw that female, he couldn't stop admiring the way her skin glowed under the moonlight. Her doe eyes and puffy hair. He had never seen such a beauty.

Adaliya grew more confused when he would just stare at her without responding to her questions.

"Hello? Are you deaf?" Adaliya asked waving her hand a little.

As if her movement called him out his stance he quickly felt the need to say something.

"You"
Adaliyas stomach did slight flips when she heard his deep voice
"You are a women." was all Nathaniel said and could think about. He has never met a real woman, all the staff members were men.

'Is this dude serious right now?!' Adaliya thought

"Of course I am a women!" She called,
Nathaniel flinched when she raised her voice at him.

"Now again. Who are you?" Adaliya asked him again.

"I am Nathaniel Rose Donovan" he said holding her piercing gaze
"Vanderbilt? I think I heard that name somewhere before" She said dropping her 'weapon' and crossed her arms instead.

"Why are you here Mr. Donovan?" She asked eyeing his frame,

Nathaniel opened his mouth to answer her question but closed it when she spoke up again.

"Where you spying on me?!" She asked taking a step back.

As Adaliya waited for his answer she noticed how his cheeks turned into a rosy Color, Nathaniel felt slightly embarrassed because of his struggle to express himself.

"No" he said looking down, he didn't know what else to say.

'he's probably just a junkie or too high' Adaliya thought.

"Should I call you a taxi?" She asked him
"A taxi? What for?"
"To bring you back home"
"No!"

'Now it's getting weird' Adaliya thought as she raised her eyebrow.

Nathaniel just managed to sneak out his home he often saw as a prison, it was too early for him to go back to that place.

"I don't want to go back. Not yet at least" he said lowering his head again.

Nathaniel didn't know if it would be smart to tell her that its his first time being outside, but he insisted that it would be the best to tell her.

He knew that he needed someone to help him adapt to the outside world.

"It's actually my first time outside" Nathaniel stated as he peered at the snacks and blankets on the floor looking for some sort of comfort if he saw anything he knew.

"What?" Adaliya asked dumbfounded
"You are joking right?"

'Joking? I have never joked before' He thought,

Nathaniel shook his head "that's why I would really appreciate it if you help me"

"Help you how? I don't even know you"
"I know but... we... we could uhh... get to know each other?"

Nathaniel didn't know why his heart rate quickened again, he wasn't doing any type of physical activity's yet his heart beat wouldn't slow down.

Adaliya didn't know what to say. She couldn't help it but kept thinking about that he might be dangerous or wants to kill her. But she was always longing for a true friend. And don't get her wrong, Lola is probably the only close friend she could rely on but Lola also had other friends meanwhile Adaliya... well she has 'friends' but that's about it.
