The bike in the shadows

Stay away from me

POV Alice

I pull into the parking lot and I already see him, leaning against his bike. This time his bike is red, thats weird. I park my car and lean my head against the wheel, trying to think of what to say. I don't know how much time passes but I hear a tapping on my passenger side window causing me to jump and lose my train of thought. I roll down my window.

"Can I come in?" He asks me quietly. I unlock my door with out saying anything and he gets in. We both sit in silence for a while before I break it. I look over to speak to him and I notice he's already been looking at me.

"I'm confused" is all I can get out.
"About what, what do you remember" he asks me, fidgeting with his fingers.
"That blonde guy, the alley, you bring me home" I pause about to continue but because I can.
"Matt has been dealt with" he says in a monotone voice.
"Dealt with? What did you do?" I ask him scared of the answer.
"Like I said, I dealt with it"
"What the fuck did you do. did you kill him. You're fucking crazy" I start rambling before he cuts me off.
"Oh my no I didn't kill me, who do you think I am darling" he chuckles
"Umm i don't know some kind of crazy guy who's been breaking into my house and STALKING ME" I yell

It seems I caught him off guard. He doesn't answer me right away.

"I'm sorry" he responds
"You're sorry?"
"Yeah I'm sorry I just wanted to make sure you were safe"
"Why? have no clue who you are kade." I say in a calmer voice this time looking over at him. I almost forget how pissed I am right now when I make eye contact with him. His eyes are so dark and hypnotic. He looks away.
"I actually don't know.. I just feel like I need to." He says looking down into his lap.
"Well you don't need to. I can keep myself safe." I say to him.
"I understand I'm sorry hun" he says and looks up at me.
"Don't call me that" I bluntly say, but something in me doesn't want him to not stop.
"No promises" he smiles. I start blushing a little.

POV kade.

God she's so beautiful right now. Still in her pyjamas, messy hair. She's lecturing me about leaving her alone but all I can thinking about is how bad I want her. I know I can't have her and I probably should stay away but that's hard.

I notice her blushing. I know she wants me too, even if she can't admit it to herself.

"Do you want me to go now" I ask her
"One more thing" she says looking down, her demeanour has completely changed.
"What is it darling?"
"Do you know what they did to me?" She starts tearing up a little. I grab her hand but she doesn't grab mine back. But she also doesn't pull away.
"He told me they only drugged you. I believe him. I promise he didn't hurt you" I say rubbing my thumb over her hand.
"Oh okay" she whispers. "What else happened. I barely remember anything" she adds
"Well as soon as I heard what they did i searched all over town for you. I found you in the alleyway. You weren't very coherent or stable. I helped you up and made sure you were okay. I rode you home on my bike. Brought you inside and to your bed. I promise you Alice I didn't do anything to you. The most I did was carry you inside and tuck you into bed." I hold out my pinky and she giggles lightly as she wraps hers around mine.

"Okay thank you" she says
"Anytime beautiful" I smile at her. Our pinky's still intertwined. She breaks off first
"But from now on, stay away from me. I don't want into your world" she says but i can tell part of her doesn't mean it. I know the world I'm in is dangerous and definitely not a place for a girl like her but I know she doesn't want me to stay away. Or maybe I'm just hoping.
"Yes ma'am" I say opening the car door and getting out. I hop onto my bike and ride it too her window. I blow her a kiss through my helmet and she rolls her eyes and shakes her head. I ride off and park just down the street from her house. Yes I know she told me to stay away but I just want to make sure she gets home. A few minutes later I notice her pull up and get out of her car. She flips her hair over her shoulder. Gorgeous. She gets in her house. I guess that's my cue to go home. Goodbye for now Alice.
