Mira's pov.

Speeding up my pace through the rainy New York streets ,running away from my abusive ex, that was folowing me after I refused to take him back the millionth time , I didn't knew where to go to be safe, away, so far away from him...
Being all soaked and freezing, tears threatening to fall from my eyes,but refusing to let them out, I was hugging myself, taking from time to time some fearfull gaze back I didn't saw when I accidentally bumped and hitted something hard. And warm. Or ...someone.

"Uh I...uhm...I'm sorry. I didn't saw where I was going. Did I hurted u?" I shakily said, looking up to that someone I just bumped into, trying to make myself look the calmest I could even if my heart was racing, trying to not be seen how scared I am, looking up to meet the most beautiful eyes I ever saw. Dark. Stormy. Deep. Broken.
Stunning.
Scanning him a bit more I was met with a head full of gingerish brown curls, the softest I ever saw. I didn't realised when I started to study his features ,my eyes traveling down his nose ,his freckles, to his jawline and his lips... Down to the arm that wrapped around my lower back to keep me from falling, a strong arm, followed by my nostrils catching in his scent... God...He's hot...and smells good..mainly, dangerous, strong... he-....

"Are u alright Miss? Is something happening to you, did u got hurt?" his voice was heard finally asking me,making me look back up to him . His voice. He started to check to see what was wrong with me when I tried to open my mouth and answer him with shaky voice.

"I uhm I... " my eyes geting more teary watching his ,who started to make visible through them something that looked like pure worry. I must see stuff.Why would a stranger worry for me, and why would someone like him do it for someone like me?. I sighed.

"You? Are u being followed? Is smth happening to you ,are u okey?" He kept searching in my eyes while I finaly got to mumble an answer ,which I obviously didn't got to finish when one strong and rough ,familiar hand pulled me towards it too yanking me away from the stranger and griping to harsh my arm,making sure to leave bruises and making me wince in pain too.

"OH there you are finally catching up with u , don't u dare run away from me again u fucking ho- ..."

"Take your hand of her. Now." Said the stranger with a more darker and rough voice than some moments ago, staring with pure rage in his darker this time eyes at my ex's hand griping me , wrapping his arm around me strongly again and pulling me towards him too making my ex let me go of his hold.

"What the-..." my ex started to let out but was stopped by the stranger's voice again

"Are u okey? What's happening he-"

"I need to go." freeing myself from his hold when my fear and tears couldn't me more kept under control and when the panick started to get me , I ran away down the streets , leaving him confused and watching after me with worry, while stopping my ex to come after me, and leaving me with those eyes of his still stucked in my mind, even when I reached my apartment and ran to the shower too, crying my eyes out and running through my panick attack under the hot water, not caring I was still dressed. No matter what his eyes didn't left my mind even after hours of crying , when all started to feel numb. His eyes stayed there all night, and the next days until I met him again, at my front door, holding his camera.
