Beautiful Nightmare

Chapter 3

I opened my eyes slowly and groaned quietly. I sat up and stretched my arms in the air. I had a strange dream last night where I met this guy and-

Wait.... I looked around at my surroundings. This wasn't my room.

Oh G-d. It was real. I really did meet him. I really did spend the night with him. I really did get drunk.

I slipped the sheet off of me and I realized that I had no clothes on.

Oh G-d.

I saw my clothes on the side of the bed and immediately put them on. I looked in the mirror on his closet and fixed my hair since it was a wild mess.

I checked the time on my phone and it was 6:09 AM.

Oh G-d I'm screwed. My dad is going to kill me. What if he was already home? Ugh I don't even want to think about it. All I know is that I'm so busted.

I started walking downstairs slowly and as I got to the door, I heard his breathtaking voice behind me say, "going somewhere?" He made me jump. I looked at him and he was wearing a black tank top and some slightly torn jeans.

"Last night was amazing baby". I was still in shock that I was so drunk that night. He pulled me closer to him, doing his usual lip bite. I couldn't deny it. Even though he was a total stranger that I spent the night with, he was so attractive. He had it all. Good looks, gorgeousness eyes, and a sexy body.

I felt as though for some reason he could read my thoughts in a way so I stopped thinking about him.

"Why don't you just ask me to take you home baby girl?" "What if my dad's there? He'll kill me if he sees you and me together". "I'll figure out a way babe". C'mon lets go to the car".

We stepped into the car and he started his roaring engine and drove off. "What's your address Nikki?"

Oh shit. That was something I didn't want to tell him. I really have to admit to myself that last night was the biggest mistake if my life. I've only known him for a few hours and who knows what we've done. Should I say?

I wrote down my address on a piece of paper and handed it to him. I saw him examining it and mouthing the words. Then he looked at me smirking and said, "don't worry babe, I'll get you home faster than you think".

Ugh was he going to speed again? Oh lord please no.

And of course, to no surprise, he did speed.

***

Within 10 minutes, we arrived at my house. He got out and opened the door for me to come out. Then he kneeled against the car and pulled me close to him. He then said in his sly, yet soothing, voice, "so I'll see you tomorrow baby?" I backed away from him slightly and said, "whoa whoa whoa! Tomorrow?" "Of course. I just spent the night with you and you don't think I'm going to forget about you, am I?"

"What so you do after school Nikki?" "I just hang out at my friend Rosalie's house". "Tomorrow I'm picking you up after school. No question." "But what about Ashley? Can I tell her?" He gave me a stern look and said, "he'll no Nikki! No one can know about us! No one. Especially since your father is a cop, things are going to be a lot more difficult". "But Austin she's my best friend since birth. She deserves to know everything". "No!", he shouted sternly. "No one is allowed to know. Understand?" I hesitated for a second, and then I nodded softly.

Thankfully my father wasn't home yet. So Austin walked me to my door and watched me as I closed the door. I exhaled and my mind started flooding with many thoughts.

Was this the right thing to do? I can't just run away from him. Where could I run to? Wherever I go, he'll find me. But at the same time, he saved me from the most regretful decision of my life: death. Whether I like it or not, he technically did save me, even though he was only thinking about himself at that moment.

I also noticed that Austin was a pretty moody person. He's going to have to work on that if he wanted to remain under good terms with me.
