Lost Love (Love Letter From Thief X fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

We make it my apartment building after about 15 minutes.

"Well...This is my stop." I turn to Riki. "You do know your way back to your hotel right?"

"*Psh* Who are you talking to? Of course I do!" His eyes sparkled as he smirked.

I didn't laugh. I can't believe I'm actually worried about him. "A Japanese city boy in an American city. Watch your back. Locals don't like people like you. You're different and not many people like that. It's not as bad actually in Tampa, but the outskirts is a totally different story. And while many won't do anything...well, we've got our crazies."

"I'll be fine.What window are you?"

"Third-floor, second to the right. Why?"

"I'll head back when you turn on your light." He lightly shoos me to the door. "Go on. We have a long ride to Miami tomorrow..... Goodnight Alaina."

"Goodnight Riki." I go through the door and head up the stairs. I turn on my lights when I get in and look out the window. He looks up and waves before walking off. Worrywart. I smile to myself. I'm glad he's acting like himself again.

I quickly change and crawl into bed, setting my alarm for 5:45 am. I drift off immediately.
