One shot stories [ English and tagalog]

Two in one

Let me tell you a story...

It was a not a spooky place nor creepy. It's the fact that I'm alone that made my body sweat and hands to shiver.

The wind suddenly blew that sent chills down my spine. I had goosebumps so I rubbed my arms with my hands. I peeked outside my car's window and frowned seeing the black clouds covering the sky. A minute passed and the whole place was dim, too dim for my liking.

"Good gracious! Please don't let it---"

The rain poured heavily, like a wild beast forcing to break in because of too much force it creates as the drops landed on the smooth body of my car.

"Great! Just great!" I shouted while hitting the steering wheel.

I can't hear anything aside from the heavy pour. I moved my gaze around the place hoping to find some help but it's too dark to even see hope.

Wondering where I am and what am I doing here?

Well, Ive gone to my friend's beach house to unwind. Spent a week there and decided to go home unfortunately, here I am.. in the middle of nowhere. Stucked, stranded because Im out of gas.

I should have had a gas refill earlier in the gas station on my way but seems like stupidity is my favorite word. I once again looked outside, let's say that luck is not on my side for tonight.

I glanced at my wristwatch and grimaced seeing that it's almost 11 p.m! Oh my! My mom must be so worried! Of course, she's worried! Ive been stranded here for how long? Uhh.. 2 hours?? I don't know and I dont care anymore! She's expecting me at 9!

I fished for my phone inside my bag on the passenger seat but to my disappointment, it doesnt have a signal, not even a bar.

I burried my face on my palms then hugged my knees because of the coldness that is seeping through my sweater.

"I'm so dead." I moaned out of frustration. I rested my chin on my knees then closed my eyes. I stayed like that for an hour. The corner of my lips curved up when the rain stopped pouring. At last! I thought my ears are gonna fall off due to the noise it's creating on my car's roof.

It's not yet morning and I'm not yet saved but I'm thankful that the rain had stopped.

I thought that I'm gonna have a goodnight sleep because the irritating sound was over but to my dismay, another loud sound exploded in my ears causing my sleepy thoughts to go away and my eyes to stay wide open.

My widened eyes, widened even more when I saw a group of men cornering a guy. My mouth gaped open when the alone guy released a heavy blow! The unlucky man who received the blow passed out! Knock out! After that, all hell broke loose.

A bloody fight! Oh my gosh! I immediately get out of my car, without a sound and effortlessly hid at the back. If I could just hide in the compartment, but I'm afraid I might lock myself in.

Why did I get out instead of locking myself in? Well duh? At least, I can easily run away from them when they come to get me. If I locked myself instead, I would be dead meat. All they should do is break the window and presto! They can catch me that easy.

I watched the gang fight all the way until it ended up because the group cowardice. He was outnumbered but he still managed to win?! Is he for real?!

I scanned the place and my eyes almost sparkled when I saw a car! The guy leaned on the car while panting. He's got a car! He can drive me home!

I gathered all my bravery and decided to ask for help from the guy. I don't want to stay here forever!

"You want some bruise?! A broken rib maybe?" I stepped back as the guy asked that question while panting. He was putting pressure on his waist. Maybe he's hurt.

Of course he's hurt! He fought with a group! Gosh!

I can do this! I cheered myself first then decided to approach him.

"H-Hi! I'm not here to have bruise or broken rib, I just want to... uhh.." he stared at me like I'm a weird specie which made me blush.

His intense gaze made my face blushed even more. His brown stylish hair was quite messy which gave him the bad boy look. His face could launch a thousand ship! From his deep set dark eyes which is like an abyss, those dark orbs that can see right through your soul. It's very expressive and I can see confusion in it. His perfect shaped nose that demands authority and his firm lips. His firm kissable lips which has a cut on the side. Maybe someone managed to hit him but doesn't affected his perfection, not even a bit.

His body was well built even if he was dressed in a simple fitted shirt, black leather jacket, rugged jeans and a pair of rubbershoes.

With that outfit, he's supposed to look like a mob, hoodlum maybe? but why is it that he looked perfect?! Like he was born to wear those clothes!

He was ravishing. Disgustingly handsome creature. I can say that he's the most goodlooking guy I have ever seen. He doesn't looked like an angel. He's goodlooking in the darker sense, in the darker shade. A deviously gorgeous creature.

"What in the world is a girl doing here?" he asked but it's like he's asking himself.

"Well, uhh.. you see..." I pointed my car to him instead of explaining things because it's like my tongue hid somewhere and decided not to show up just when I needed it.

"I'm leaving. I dont know who you are so Im not going to meddle with your business." My jaw dropped because of what he just said.

"W-WHAT?!" I asked. Surprised.

I can't believe this! He's not going to help me? Is he not a good samaritan?! What on earth is his problem?

When he was about to open his car, I grabbed his arm and looked at him with a sad face. I must earn. his pity so I can go home!

"Hey Mr. Gangster, can you give me a ride home?" I asked hopefully then closed my eyes.

Say yes, say yes! I silently wished.

"P-please..." I begged, my eyes still closed.

He tsked then answered "Alright! Lock your car and grab your things. Where's your address?"

I did what he said then told him my address.

I said my gratitude when I reached my house. He's not bad at all. I asked for his number which he gave with a shrug and just left without a word.

My car was home the next day, thanks to the towing company. I messaged him my gratitude and I was so glad when he replied with a word "K"

I started to bug him until we started to hang out. The hang outs turned to friendship until we became the best of friends.

But our friendship didn't last for long.

Why?

Who would have thought that the gangster who gave me a ride home then became my best friend was also the one whom I'll spent my life with?

No one does.

You see, at that point in time, I'm not looking for a lover or a bestfriend, I'm just looking for help but look at what Ive found, a bestfriend and a lover in one.
