Scarlet

A sharp ringing woke me up. I somehow navigated my way to my phone . Without even checking the caller id i picked it up . 'hello ' . Silence . Deep silence. ' who is this?' i asked . No answer. I asked again this time louder. No answer . Irritated i hung up . As i made my way to my bed another ring cut through the silence of my room. I grabbed the phone and sternly said ' Does this look like a joke to you at the middle of the night? ' . A deep calm voice at the other end said .' i am extremely sorry to bother you but we have a lead on the case and u promise to not bother you at this time again ' . My cheeks turned red embarassment burned through me like hot coal. I stammered ' i..m.me. sorry. I j.just..never mind I'll be there in 10 ' .
I dressed up and went along the road catching a cab right now seemed impossible . Suddenly a drop of water fell on my shoulder . I looked at the drop and stared up at the sky. A few more and then in a few minutes time water poured out of the sky like a waterfall . I was completely drenched . Should i call him and tell him . I weighted my options as a faint glow of a headlight blurred by the downpour of the rain came to my vision. I frantically started waving my hand in order to stop the vehicle.
A dark bike stopped in front of me. The only word needed to describe it was magnificent.

The biker took off his helmet. Owen. his shirt clung to his abdomen. his  hair dripped with water. 'Hi. I was wondering if you could drop me off at Central Mall ?' i said my voice shriller than i wanted it to be. 'sure , but may i ask why you want to go to the mall at this hour ' he said his voice smooth and deep like dark chocolate. ' work calls ' i said with a sad smile. 'Damn you must be getting late . Get on ' . I got up and placed my hands on his shoulders as he turned his bike and took off . Soon i reached my destination a few minutes walk and I'll reach the office . The rain had stopped the sky had lightened. As i got  off the bike my fingers brushed against his bare skin tingles ran through my skin leaving a ton of goosebumps. He looked at me trying to hide something and then without even saying goodbye left . I stood there foolishly staring at him before making my way to my office
