Knock Me Out

Chapter 53

Haya guys. I hope you're still enjoying the story. Don't forget to vote.

"Hey Sunshine. I was so convinced you weren't coming"

I turn around and there he is.

Cute boy tho. He's really good looking. He has beautiful blue eyes. Full lips. Dark hair. He might be a mixed race or something. He's tall. Athletic body type.

"It's kinda creepy how you're staring at me like I'm some sort of complicated art project" he smiles awkwardly.

"I'm sorry. Just trying to print the image in my head. I should be able to tell the cops what every inch looks like if I ever have to. No?" I joke.

"Seems like you got a point there. Anyway, I don't think we've properly met. I'm Sean" he says sticking his hand out.

"Nice to meet you Sean. Chanielle" I reply shaking his hand.

"Great. Shall we?"

"Just to be clear. This is not a date. The only reason I'm here is because I was bored to death"

"No worries. Allow me to entertain you then"

The party was great. Sean is a funny guy and cool too.

"Thank you so much Sean, for inviting me. I needed a break"

"You're welcome sunshine. I realized you did"

"Yeah..."

"Uum. Yeah" he smiles and looks me straight in the eye. "I should get back home"

"Yeah me too. Goodnight"

"Goodnight sunshine"

I walk towards my car and start the engine. God, I love this car.

I see Sean trying to get a cab. Why didn't he just ask me to drop him off?

"Need a ride home?" I ask when I stop on front of him.

"Uum... yeah... I guess. I really didn't want to bother you..." he says looking around. Probably hoping to see an empty cab.

"But you need a ride home" I add. "Just hop in. I don't mind at all"

"Killer ride tho" he compliments as he steps in.

"Just don't throw up in my baby. I love this car way more than I'll ever love my house"

"Geez" he chuckles not knowing I'm actually serious.

After I drop him off in front of his building I wait till he gets in and then I ride off.

When I go to turn around I spot a small restaurant. The billboard says "Best cheesecakes ever".

Well I'd like to taste the best.

I pull up in their parking lot and go in to get some of that cheesecake and some falafel.

When I drive past Sean's building I see him standing outside with his phone against his ears. Looks like he's yelling at the person on the line.

He sits down in front of the building with his head down after he hangs up and I step out of my car.

"You okay?"

"Oh umm... I thought you were going home?"

"Yes, I was on my way when I saw you. What's wrong?"

"Nothing for you to be worried about. Just waiting for my mom"

"Oh okay. I'll wait with you"

"No please. I'll be fine. She'll be here any second now"

"I want to. There's not much to do anyway. If you don't mind of course"

"I don't mind, but I don't think you should waste your time either. I'll be fine"

"I know" I smile.

I feel like he's hiding something. Is this even his building?

"You're so stubborn you know that?"

"I've heard that before"

"You remind me of someone" he whispers.

"Really? Who?"

"Never mind"

I don't push him for an answer. It's probably a weak spot. I don't know.

After sitting in silence for a couple of minutes he finally says what I've been suspecting.

"My mother isn't really coming....  They left with the key to the apartment and now I have no way to get in.... for the next three days or more"

"I knew something was wrong. Why didn't you just say so?"

He shrugs.

"Where are you going to spend the night then?"

"I have no idea. I don't know anyone around here and I don't want to bother anyone either. She doesn't even care. All she said was 'you'll manage'"

He sighs.

I stay quiet.

"You should get going. There's no point sitting here anyway"

"If you promise to keep your hands to yourself, you can stay with me. I stay in a hotel not too far from here" I offer.

"You're so kind sunshine, but don't worry. I'll manage" he says choking out a laugh.

"I mean it. You can stay with me and keep me company. Maybe I won't be so borred anymore. I could use some entertainment" I say more convincing.

"You don't even know me. What if I'm a robber or murderer?"

"What if I wake up tomorrow morning and see your picture on breaking news? Poor Sean got murdered outside his apartment building, because he had nowhere to spend the night and no one offered him shelter"

"You're too funny sunshine"

"Are you a robber or a murderer?"

"Uhg, no!" He scoffs.

"Great. Let's go then" I say and get up from where I was seated next to him.

He chuckles and follows me to my car noticing that I won't back down from this.

Plus I hope it's not getting boring or anything.
I just want her to calm down and have some innocent fun, before the drama starts again.
