Who & What are You?

Chapter 7

They noticed? That was fast, I cannot let them find me, but I guess I did a good job of disguising myself, no one has recognized me, not even Jessica. 'Where do you think he might be?' I ask.

She shrugs, 'Who knows he could be anywhere'

'Are you worried?' I ask, holding back a smirk, she looks at me, confused.

'Why would I be worried? He's a fully grown man, he take care of himself, and I don't even know him, he's probably busy, I doubt he's abroad' she says, my smirk falls.

'How do you know he's not abroad?' I question.

'Well they would have recognized him at the airport and paparazzi would've followed him there but he can't be that far away, Thorpe is literally down the road he lives here' she says, finishing off her coffee. 'What do you work as?'

The question caught me off guard. 'Me? Oh um.... I work here and there, you know'.

She nods 'I see'

'What do you plan on doing today?' I ask.

Jessica shakes her head, 'I don't really have a plan, I don't have studies today'

'Want to go shopping?' I ask, she nods and I leave back to my flat, I cannot take out my card because she will see that I have expensive card, I dig through my suit pocket and fish out a couple 100 pounds in cash, this should be enough. I pulled on the same outfit that I had on when I first met her.

Jessica steps out of her apartment, she looks amazing wearing; blue skinny jeans, a long sleeve denim shirt with a burgundy sweatshirt over the top, the words 'HIPSTER' written in white the denim collars of the shirt underneath are pulled into view and to top it off she's wearing a burgundy Dr.Martens, her hair is straight and held up in a half up, half down kind of way. Her nails are painted a cream color and she is holding a Selma large black leather tote bag.

'Ready'

'You look beautiful' I smile, she blushes and thanks me, leading the way.

** ** ** **

I stare intently at Jessica from the corner of my eye as she looks at a few articles of clothing, she is so beautiful. I like her taste in clothes as well, after only purchasing 2 items she leaves, dragging me by the hand into a store and showing me a few clothes, she picks out a couple of jeans and tops, I feel bad for letting her pay seeing as I have tons of clothes at my mansion....well actually they're mostly suits.

After taking me to a shoe store we sit down at the cafeteria, 'So Jessica, tell me more about yourself'

'Well, I am unemployed and currently in med school' she says, taking a bite of her burger, I stuff chips into my mouth.

'Impressive' I nod, she's ticked my box for 'clever'.

'I have two brothers you've already met Eddie but not the other, my mum died when I 3 but I never knew my father as I said before.' Her smile faltering as she stared at her half eaten burger, I smile sympathetically letting her carry on.

'What about you Alex?'

'There's really nothing interesting to know about me' I shrug casually this burger tastes too damn good.

'If you don't mind me asking, How did you become homeless?' she asked.

I freeze, shit, what do I say? Do I make up a lie? I don't like lying to her but I can't tell her who I am either can I.

Wow Alex it seems like you will be in deep shit soon if you don't use your brain quick.

'I um, used to own company and it was going very well for a few years them um, m-my cousin wanted a share in it, I agreed and we halved equally, I-I went on a holiday for about a month, b-b-but when I returned I found out that the company had gone bankrupt and my um, cousins had taken everything and left'

'I'm sorry' she says, I shake my head.

'Don't be, I then got a job in a um, restaurant but it wasn't enough and I lost my house and I'm still in deep debt with the bank, so here I am' I don't think I have ever stuttered so much in my life!!

'Do you usually stutter a lot?' she asks, Damn it! She noticed

Great job doofus

'No, you're just a beautiful distraction' I say, proud of my great save.

A beautiful, melodic laugh emits from her making me smile, before she can reply her phone rings, 'Sorry I got to get this' she apologizes, I nod waving her off, watching her take it outside.

I pull out my own phone and ring my PA, 'Yes sir?'

Í need you to mail me all of the files and documents which need catching up on' I tell her, giving her my address, 'Remember, don't tell anyone where I am, don't visit me either'.

'Do not worry sir'
