I was contemplating whether to tell Brandon that I'm here on my own, lost and moneyless or just smile.
"I came here to board a cruise as you may already know and that I missed it. My backpack got stolen how and why that's what I don't know. Meaning I'm moneyless. I don't know anyone except for you. I'll understand if you leave now considering I'll be a burden now that I don't have a place to stay and even money to make a plan to return home."
Brandon sighed and closed his eyes pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Winter I will never leave you at this state. I'm not that cruel and I care about your wellbeing,I know you might think I'm lying but I'm not, you're a nice girl and I wouldn't want to see you wondering around knowing I could've helped.", Brandon said honestly.
I searched for a hint of a lie but all I could see in his eyes is the truth. Call me cliché but that's the honest truth.
"Bella... Will you allow me to take care of you?", Brandon asked sincerely.
"yes, I will. For the second time I'm Winter not Bella.", I answered him.
"Bella is beautiful in Italian. I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I mean look at yourself cara mia you're beautiful."
I muttered a quick thanks and sipped some more of my coffee.
I smiled alone and chewed my doughnut. Brandon looked at me whilst raising his eyebrow, I just shook my head in return.
Brandon asked for the bill from that blonde waitress and paid it including a tip.
We went out of the coffee shop. Brandon opened the door for me and I got in, he jogged to his side and got in too. He leaned in that our faces were almost touching,as I was about ask what he's doing he reached for the seat belt and put it on for me. I smiled in return
Brandon spoke up," we have to be safe you know. "
"yeah,I guess.", was all I could take out of mouth.
Mr. Sexy Italian hunk turned the key and the engine roared to life.
It was dawn now and all that was on my mind was where and with whom am I going to sleep for the night.
I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
