Outlaw's Angel

Stranger?

Angel's POV:

My heels clicked on the sidewalk as I departed from the store where I worked and headed towards home. It was late, around 11:30pm,  and I'm always kind of paranoid so, my right hand stayed in my pocket clutching my pocket knife as I walked down the dark streets of outer Los Angeles. A man began following me a few blocks from work. He looked quite familiar but, between pretending to ignore him and the shadows I could barely see his face.

He continued following me for about 20 minutes until I finally worked up the courage to confront him. I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to face him. "What the fuck is your problem?" I asked as I cautiously flipped open the knife in my jacket pocket. "I just wanted to make sure a pretty girl like you made it home safe." a familiar voice answered. You could hear the smirk on his face bleeding into his words. "Do I know you? You seem familiar?" I inquired. "Probably, I'm pretty...." he considered his choice of words. " Famous, to be honest." he replied as he stepped into the light revealing a handsome face with chocolate brown eyes and a cheesy grin. He seemed like someone who was used to being recognized. " Suuurrreeee you are." I said conveying my disbelief. "Do you not know who I am?" he asked slightly approaching me. He seemed incredibly surprised. "No, I don't think I do. But, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't follow me. I can take care of myself." I replied as I turned and began walking at a fast pace. "Wait!" he followed me passing me and placing himself in my way. "Can I at least walk you home? Its kinda nice to have someone to talk to who doesn't already know who I am." he asked. I could tell by his voice and his body language that he was being honest and something about him made me feel as though I could trust him. "Fine, but if you pull anything fishy you're getting stabbed, Mr...." "Purdy." He finished. "Ashley Purdy. And you are?" "Angel. Angel Hansen." He smiled and we began walking side by side. I had no idea the impact this person would have on my life.
