The taxi driver was talking I was sure he was, I mean why else would his mouth moving and his eyes watching me through the mirror. But I couldn't hear him. I couldn't hear anything the sound of my own beating heart was blocking out every other sound. I closed my eyes no longer pretending to listen to the driver, I leaned my head against the window and slowly banged my head to the window to the beat of my heart. I'm sure the driver thought I was crazy but right now I didn't care what he thought, what anybody thought.
I didn't know we had arrived until the drive placed his hand on my shoulder and shook it. I abruptly opened my eyes and shook off the drivers hand ''we've arrived miss'' said the driver a frown of worry on his face. ''Oh, thank you'' I said before opening the door and putting one of legs out ''wait miss you haven't paid!'' said the man. My eyes widened, the money, I patted my hands against both my front and back pockets but there was nothing there. Goddammit today just wasn't my day was it.
I smiled at the driver '' It seems I don't have any money, my relatives live here I shall go ask them for some'' I said hoping to god my fake posh uptown accent sounded believable. ''Alright miss go ask but I ain't moving till I get my money'' he said making a show of rolling down the window and turning off the engine. He gave me a pointed look one that obviously said hurry up before I go to the police with this. I gave the man a smile that looked more like a grimace before scanning the lane for suitable prey . There was a man leaning against the wall of the house dressed in a expensive looking suit his head was bent over a news paper and all I could see was his messy head of golden hair.
''Excuse me sir'' I said, the man looked up and grinned revealing a pair of dimples and shockingly blue eyes. ''Now what is it that a girl as pretty as you could possibly want from me?'' he said winking. I almost lost myself in his eyes but then I gulped and brought myself back to the current situation. ''May I please borrow some money I forgot my wallet at home and I need to pay the Taxi driver.'' I said my cheeks heating up. ''Sure thing my lady but if you accept this you're going to owe me a favour'' he said a smirk appearing in his face. ''Alright but please quickly.'' I said glancing at the taxi and back my eyes full of anxiety. ''Here you go'' he said handing me the money.
Why do I feel like I just made a deal with the devil?
