Chapter 17:

There's a what in the fridge!

We were reaching the town when it started to rain, hard.

"Argh, come on!" I whined as I stared carefully at the millions of droplets of water that splashed onto the window. I was so bored I even picked two rain drops and see which one would be the first to reach the bottom of the window.

"I'm going to drop you two off at a hotel since it's the rain is only getting harder." Darcy told us and Ryder nodded, agreeing with her.

The town was small, sort of like a town where everyone knows everyone. All the people are friendly except for a few and the smiles never stop coming. I think I'm going to have a hard time with this job since I don't feel emotions and smiling isn't exactly on my profile pic.

"Here we are, I hope you two are successful, come back in a maximum of three days. Give me ring and I'll be here to pick you up as quickly as possible." Darcy told us and we thanked her before running out of the car and in the hotel since we're not allowed to give away our identities to anyone.

We made our way to the receptionist and I wasn't really paying attention to Ryder or the lady behind the counter because I was looking around. People gave us odd stares, well they gave me odd stares because of my hair but that doesn't really bother me as much anymore.

"Okay, let's go." Ryder grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the elevator.

"We're in room 404." He told me and I nodded. The elevator ride was kind of awkward since we were stuck with a woman in her mid fifties who was staring at Ryder with so much lust in her eyes it was actually making me gag. The whole time Ryder was rocking from his toe to his heels trying not to focus on the woman and yell in her face to stop staring at him. It was kind of funny in a way.

Then the unexpected happened. She slapped his left cheek of his firm ass and he yelped and stiffened. Her hand grabbed his cheek and squeezed. As she did that, I saw Ryder's eyes bulge out of their sockets, he was as stif as a rock and as straight as a stick.

I know I should be laughing right now but I wasn't. I was actually sending daggers at the woman for even looking at him. I hated her already and I felt very posessive over Ryder for some odd reason and I wanted her hands off him instantly.

"Hands off my man!" I yelled and grabbed Ryder's arm and yanked him towards me. Ryder was shocked to say the least but the woman wasn't hiding her smile.

"Oh, there's another one who wants that sexy ass." She croaked and I felt utterly disgusted.

"Yes, and he's mine so back off woman!" I snapped and she was taken by surprise. The way "mine" rolled off my tongue sounded so right.

Mine...

Then the elevator doors opened and she walked out.

"Bye, handsome."

When she left I swear the both of us released our breaths that we were holding on to for all that time.

"I may have no emotions but I'm not crazy when I say, that was scary." He breathed out and I nodded agreeing with him.

"I didn't like it." I sighed and his eyes narrowed then he pinned to the wall of the elevator.

"What do you mean, you didn't like it?" He asked as his face approached mine. I saw a hint of happiness in his eyes and I wondered what made him get his emotions back.

"Her hand was on your ass, you were standing right beside me. It was really awkward so I had to make something up." I lied. He smirked and approached my face a bit more. His body pressed against mine and bolts of electricity ran up and down my body. His lips grazed mine and they headed towards my cheek then down my jaw and towards my neck. I felt his warm breath tickle my skin and suddenly his plump lips pressed against the soft skin of my neck. Instantly, I felt like my body was zapped and shock over took me.
