You and Me by Angel Rose Digal

 Antagonist: Fugitive

Protagonist: Student 

I knew from the start that there was something odd about you. I can't really point out if it was your messy hair or your body full of tribal tattoos and piercings.

It was already 10 pm when we first got ourselves involved with each other. The street leading to my boarding house was quite dark and narrow. Narrow to the point that 2 people can barely pass through at the same time.

I was one of those Student Assistants at school; there were many paper works to be done and submitted that time so I had no choice but to go home late. I plugged my earphones at both ears and slid both of my hands inside the pockets of the jacket I was wearing. It was unusually cold that night.

"Miss, do you somehow live nearby?" That was the first time I saw you. I remembered how I screamed when you tapped my shoulder.

You immediately covered my mouth and immediately looked if there was someone who heard or saw us. What a weird guy, I thought.

"What's wrong with you?" You asked me as if I made a very big mistake. I was dumbfounded and speechless not just because of your stupid question but also because of how you looked.

You were so close to me. While you were still busy checking if there is someone around, me, on the other hand was still busy checking you out.

Up close I could see how long your lashes was, it perfectly matched your hazel nut eyes. Your nose was pointed and your lips were like Cupid's bow. The piercing you had in your ear completes your perfect hot look.

I was in a daze when you snapped your fingers in front of me. That's when I stopped ogling at you.

"Get away from me." Yes, that's right. Move. Get away from me or I'll be permanently addicted with your scent.

"Oh! Sorry! It just made me nervous when you shouted." You smiled awkwardly while scratching his head. Hmm. Perfectly white teeth.

I mentally shook my head. Damn it! I need to get my thoughts straight. I should not be distracted of how good-looking you are especially that the world is full of scary people.

"I'm sorry, but I don't entertain strangers." I told you coldly. Shaking my head I continued my way to home while you on the other hand was following me. I could hear your light footsteps behind me. With your big structure and bulk it made me wonder how cautious your every step was.

Unusual.

Very unusual.

In front of me stood a small building with clothes hanging in every floor. Finally, I'll be able to rest.

I was about to enter when I felt another tap on my shoulder.

Glaring I turned around to face him. "Would you please stop doing that?"

"Sorry."

"Is sorry the only word you know?" I countered.

You did not response but only smiled. Okay? We both know how good looking you were so can you please stop smiling, you've made your point.

"Get lost." I remarked and marched to enter into my apartment. Your warm hands grasped into mine, my heart skipped a beat.

I do not exactly know what happened but after that you and I ended up living together in my small apartment. I knew deep inside me that I fell in love with a complete stranger, well isn't it still obvious?

"I'm going now! Your food's at the table!" I shouted as I hurriedly wore my school shoes. When I go to school you stay home and do all the house chores. You really go out that much. Well, scratch that. You really don't go out. I do not know why and I respect your privacy and reason.
