Chapter 7: Good Meets Bad

Valentine

I can't help but feel my cheeks heating up as I stare at this strange man. He looks like a prince. Only if he was wearing a better attire.

"Like what you see?" This guy smirks as his eyes are focused on me.

"Wh-what?"

"You're staring for so long love."

His accent is so beautiful like he is. Omg what am I saying?

"Sorry uh umm you almost killed me," I snap getting back to reality.

"Excuse me?" He raises his eyebrows as he takes a step closer. I stand my ground and just glare at him.

"You almost killed me with that thing you were on."

"My motorcycle you mean," he chuckles.

"Whatever. Are you blind or something? If it wasn't me, you could have run over someone else."

"And? Not my fault you were on my way. Don't your parents tell you not to cross the street alone?" He laughs as he smiles at me. He's handsome and everything, but he's starting to get on my what's that word? Nerves.

"You don't know my parents so don't say stuff," I huff crossing my arms against my chest.

"You're cute," he smiles walking closer only making me take steps back. "What's your name sweetheart?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I asked you?"

"If I don't tell you?"

"Then I'll find out," he smiles winking at me.

"My name is umm uh it's uh..."

"Your name is uh?" He raises his eyebrows grinning.

"No! Uggh it's Townes okay?"

"What?"

"My name is Townes."

I had to lie, I can't tell this strange man my real name, even if he's handsome, he could be a criminal. I don't want him looking for me then find out I'm actually a princess. Why did I say Townes what kind of name is that? That's the first that came into my mind.

"Townes... as in T-O-W-N-S?"

"No uh it's T-O-W-N-E-S."

"Ohhh. That's a strange name," he laughs.

"It's my name deal with it."

"Oooh sassy are we?"

"I don't know what that is but I don't like it."

He burst out laughing and I just glare at him.

"You don't know what sassy is? You have an attitude that I'm liking that's what."

"Well I don't like you. You're mean, you laugh at me."

"I'm sorry sweetie, I'm not laughing at you, it's just I find you adorable."

"You don't even know me, how can you say that?"

"Then let me know you."

"There's nothing to know and I'm looking for someone so—"

I try walking past him but he grabs my arm gently holding me back.

"Boyfriend?"

"No! I never had a boyfriend. Oh my why am I telling you this?"

He chuckles smirking.

"How is that possible? You're gorgeous."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"It is actually. You're too innocent, where did you come from?"

"My mom and dad?"

"I mean, are you from here? Where were you born?"

"Umm Carolina."

"North or South?"

"Why the sudden interest? It's not like I'm going to see you again."

"Oh sweetie you will," he chuckles. "Why did you move here?"

"Umm well uh my grandma told me to. She said I better swim before I drown. I'm not really a west coaster."

"That's interesting," he smiles sincerely at me. A smile that doesn't scream danger. A very genuine one. "If you need a guide around I can be your guy."

"No thanks I don't need that."

"After all, I did almost kill you," he smirks biting his lip. "Let me make it up to you yeah?"

"I don't even know your name."

"Maybe that's the mystery," he chuckles and I just roll my eyes. "Aww come on it's fun."

"I told you my name didn't I?"

"Yes you did sweetheart, and it's something uh different."

"What's your name? Is it something really embarrassing?" I chuckle making him smile.

"More embarrassing than Townes?"

"Shut up, it's not bad."

"You're right, it's really perfect," he winks.

I see Sanchez approaching from the side as I then look ahead to this stranger but he's gone. I look over to my right as he is driving off on his motorcycle thing.

I sigh watching him go.

"Princess," I hear Sanchez whisper as he's to my left.

"Oh Sanchez umm I was looking for you."

"Sorry I was making that phone call but I had to go somewhere private since it was your parents."

"What did they say?"

"Everything is great, don't worry," he smiles and leads me out to the car. "Who was that young man you were talking to?"

"Oh uh he was just lost. I told him I don't know much around here so," I chuckle getting in the back as Sanchez then gets inside as someone drives us.

I know I should be careful who I approach to, but that guy made me feel something, it's like my heart took a leap by just staring into those emerald eyes.
