It's been a week since that incident. I'm still unsure if it was a nightmare; however, that image of that clerk's head blown into pieces still lurks in my mind.
So since that was back of my mind .
I had to try to find a way to distract myself so I walked to this very nice bookstore, thank god it was not far from where I lived.
I peeked through the windows, then spotted something that caught my eye; I saw they were selling the new book of "Hell kitty" without any thought. I had entered the bookstore and was greeted by a girl by the counter.
Her outfit consisted of leather boots, fishnet tights and her hair was in high pigtails.
I don't care what anyone says, she looked fucking cool; "Do you need help? Is there a book that you are looking for?" as she glanced at me "Umm...well i was passing by and saw your store was selling the new "Hell kitty" book, so i wanted to purchase the book.''
She headed towards the book on display and scanned the book and it was an awkward 2 mins for the computer to progress the purchase. "So, are you new here?" i knew she wanted to start a conversation with me to pass time, "Um yeah, i just moved here a week ago."
i'm pretty sure she can tell how nervous i am right now, "Well it is nice to see new faces here, by the way i love your shoes." she points to my shoes, "Where did you get them?" she smiles at me "I got them from my hometown, in h/n (Home town name) . I've saved up to get these platform shoes." she seemed to adore my shoes
I asked her ''Are you from here?" she looked up at me "Yeah.." she placed my book in a gift back and placed coupons in it and handed to me "Well, i hope to see you around!" she smiles at me, before i grab the bag from her i asked "What's your name?" she pointed to her name tag "It Devi'' oh man i feel stupid, i grabbed my bag in embarrassment.
As i headed towards the exit and she asks "What's your name?" I looked at her and said "Y/N" and I left the bookstore. I think I just made a friend.
As I left the bookstore, I felt like I was being watched or even chills down my spine.
I tried to ignore it but in a few seconds it had disappeared, man am i okay? I don't think I am. I bumped into someone "Sorry sir, i wasn't looking-" i looked up and it was the same guy from what I call a nightmare. I was shocked but not scared, just shocked, he looked at me.
I couldn't break eye contact with him. "Are you okay? You seem like you saw a ghost." I couldn't say anything,"Um yeah, I just thought I saw you somewhere..." he said, "I'm Johnny, or you can call me Nny!"
i am not sure if i heard him right but that the same name that the guy introduced himself as, "So sorry, how dumb of me. I'm Y/N." he smiles at me "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Y/N."
he stoops down to bow, I laugh a little and he looks up and smiles "I can tell you are new here, where are you from?" "I just recently moved here, I am from P/N and I moved here for college."
he widens his eyes "You're in college?" he shot a surprised expression, "I just graduated, well the youngest to graduate from my school."
he seemed not to be surprised by that, he made a hand gesture to invite me to walk with him. "So Y/N, why did you make time out of your day to talk to me?" i looked at him in confusion, he glanced and looked away "I mean why did you stare at me for so long?"
I stopped "Well, again I just thought you looked familiar in a way.'' I blushed, what am I doing? Why am I walking with this guy? "I think I'm gonna head home now."
I turned around heading back in the direction of my apartment, I peeked behind me and saw Johnny jogging up to me. "Let Me walk you home Y/N."
he said with a smile, i nodded;as we passed a group of guys. I heard one of the whistles at me, in discomfort Johnny wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. OH MY FUCKING GOD!
I kept thinking; this is the first time anyone had done this. Should I feel like this? Is this what it is like to be protected?
I understand why he did that, but I'm not his girlfriend. "Y/N!" he looked at me concerned, "Yeah?" i looked up at him "You okay? You feeling well?" He turns me towards him and places his hand on my forehead. "Your face is hot, do you have a fever?"
i was overwhelmed with embarrassment and tugged on my hoodie strings. He squat to my level and said "I could carry you to your apartment."
i nodded then not a second after he swooped me off of my feet. "Y/N, are you eating enough?" I nodded "Alright then." My head is resting on his shoulders, i love his smell. Then right before i knew we had arrived at my apartment.
The security had stopped johnny and he carefully woke me up and placed me down , te officers had pulled out their clipboard and proceed to ask both of us "First name and last name?" "Y/N and YL/N" and they let us through, they had also asked johnny if he was visiting, he looked at me. "Yes, he is one of my guests."
I told security, "Alright, have a good rest of your day ma'am." Johnny followed behind me and up the staircase we reached my apartment, I took out my keys "Johnny are you hungry?"
I looked up to him, and he blushed, "Yeah, but whatever you make, I'll be glad to eat it." We entered my apartment and I hung up my hoodie, keys and my bag. I pulled out my phone from my back pocket and placed it on my countertop.
I put my hair in a ponytail and washed my hands then pulled out some meat and veggies; I washed and scrubbed the vegetables.
Johnny decided to sit by the countertop and watch me, "So y/n, what are you making?" i turned to him "Im making something that should be pretty easy to make and put together."
he stood up and walked over to me "Y/N, should you be cooking while you have a fever?" I looked at him in disbelief "Well, I am now cooking so i feel better. It always makes me feel better."
I sighed, in the corner of my eye I could see him watching me. I stopped and placed the cutted up vegetables and meat in a post and poured water along with the seasonings in the post and closed the lid. I turned to Johnny, he looked back at me.
So I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, he was frozen for a while. Fuck why did I do that? I turned away in embarrassment and he stood up and he planted a kiss on my forehead.
My heart was racing and I looked at him and I smiled and I kissed him on the lips. He kissed me back, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me again.
We took turns kissing each other, I had a weird feeling below my stomach; I could even feel my own heart beating out of my chest. He picked me up and carried me to my living room and he laid me down, he stood up and took off his trench coat.
Then he walks over to me "you should rest Y/N." then he covers me with his trench coat and he sits on the edge of the couch, so i rested my head on his lap and closed my eyes and slept.
