Him

Why me?

My alarm wakes me up with a stupid noise. 8.30 am. 'For gods sake I slept bad.' I rolled my eyes when I opened the fridge. I forgot to buy some yoghurt... There we go again... up to the store. Luckily that the weather is better. Not warm, but no rain. Something good to begin my day.
I took an apple to eat on my way, so that I don't die of hunger. Once at the shop I took some of my favorite yoghurt and some chocolate to make my day.

When I was home, I saw something at my door. It was a note... I take it with me inside and rap it open.
'Watch your steps.' It says. What?
Why would I have to watch my steps? Did I do something wrong?
*PLING*
Who's that? Ow, the hot guy of the cafe...
'Busy? x'
'Maybe...'
'Yes or no? Otherwise I will personally come to your house and tickle you. x'
'Why do you even care? It's not that I need company!'
'Okay, sorry... I will leave you alone. It's not that I'm the best person to deal with.'
What does he mean by that? Should I be friendly and get to know why or not?
Why do I even care? He's maybe hot but he's also a flatterer and stubborn.
'Okay, thanks for all this nonsense. Bye!'
I delete his number even knowing that something was off.

I didn't planned something so I go to the park just reading my book under a nice tree with the noise of laughing children. I search for a good bench and start reading. But not long after that I hear strange noises... there are no children nearby. No one. I ignore it and read further. I start to get nervous and look a last time then is saw something... a person with black clothes walking away. I don't know if it's a bad or good man but I didn't trust it. 'Hi, I didn't proper introduce myself. I'm Ayden.' It's that hot guy from the cafe. 'What do you want?' 'Wow! Sorry, that I'm not the president!' 'Are you following me?' 'No I just walked by and...' 'I don't know what your deal is but I don't like you and you bring trouble with you so leave me alone!' I continue reading. He didn't say anything for a minute. 'I don't know what you have received, but I want you to trust me and don't push me of.' 'Why? You're maybe handsome but you are a flatterer.' 'I know. I wanted to look less suspicious so I thought it would make you stop thinking about me and hating me. That you would be safe.' 'Then why are you here? Why are you telling me this while you could've walked away?' 'Because there is something about you. I feel attracted to you...' 'I did to at the cafe...' He sighs. I look at him. 'I think you're the one that makes me a better man.' 'Wow slow down! What did you do?' 'I can't tell it here. We can be eavesdropped.' 'Okay. Are going to my house then?' 'Sure...' As we walk... We just walk... Nobody says a thing... sometimes I peek at him... Trying to find out his story by just his face and body.
I'm so stupid! Why is this happening to ME?! And not another random girl?!
'This is it.' 'Your house?' 'Yeah, apartment...' We go inside and he inspects the whole place. 'Can the neighbors hear us talking?' 'No I don't think so. Only if we scream.' I chuckle and he looks at me with a grin. 'Before we start, I just want to make clear that I don't have any feelings for you. All that texting was to get rid of you. Okay, that was said a little bit rude but you get me...'
Crap he looks so handsome in that white shirt!
'Uhm... yeh! Of course! I don't have feelings for you too!' 'That's settled then. You have to promise me not to say anything to anyone. If you do I have to kidnap you for your own good.' 'Okay, get it sir!' I chuckle again. But this time he didn't grin, he looks at me with a serious face.
'Not funny. This is business. It started when I got in the wrong gang with the wrong people... my mom got in a very bad accident and I needed the money to make her better, so I dealt drugs...'
So bad isn't it. You could just stop whenever you wanted, couldn't you?' 'It wasn't that simple. The half of the earning went to the gang itself. And the boss wanted the money. He never let anyone go or he kills them. I ran away from California to New York to start fresh... but when he found out he started searching me.' 'Hasn't he found you yet?' 'It's over a year that he saw me and I changed. He is in town that's a fact. But I don't really know if he saw me.' 'But your mother?' 'She died from her wounds 2 months after the accident...' 'I'm sorry for your loss...' I'm shocked about his story and see the pain in his eyes. Then I remember the anonymous note. 'I have to show you something... Hang on...' I walk to the trash can and take the note. I unfold it and give it to Ayden. 'What's this?' 'I found it on my doorway...' 'That's Michels handwriting. He found me! Damn it! You have to help me.' 'But how it's not that I'm a cop and how do you know when you didn't saw him over a year?!' 'I recognize it out of the thousand! Let me stay here, that's less suspicious!' 'Okay! Okay! Don't scream it's going to be alright!' 'You think so?! Our life's depend on every move I make!' 'No, what WE make...' He looks at my like I was his rescue and hugs me. 'Can you give me a ride to my hiding spot so I can take my stuff?' 'Sure...'
