Zaira's POV
I was walking down the dimly lit streets still deep in my thoughts when, I walked into a wall... or so I thought was a wall, till I looked up to see skin crawling grey eyes.
"watch where your going," the man growled at me.
"S-sorry," when he spoke to me, chills went down my spine. he stuck out his hand to help me get up. I grabbed his cold big hand in my small one. "t-thanks" I said still a little shaky from the bump.
"where are you going so late in the night, its dangerous out here." He said in a slightly softer tone.
"i'm actually heading home." I continued slowly walking away from him, until he roughly grabbed my wrist "hey!"
"let me walk you home," He looked at my pleadingly. "wouldn't want you to get hurt now would we.."
"uh I guess.." he let go of my wrist and started walking next to me.
"so what do you do?"
"Uh well i'm in my last year of collage, and I got offered a job down at the little diner down there," I pointed down the street.
"Huh, haven't been there yet" he said looking at me with a side smile.
"Are you new here?"
"Um not really, I was here when I was younger but, my business had a new branch put out here. So naturally they had me come out here," he looked down at me proudly.
"Do you own it?"
"Yeah,"he said in a cocky tone "but i'm only here for a few months till it gets all straighten out and stuff, and then i'm back to California. But enough about me what are you majoring in?"
"i'm actually majoring in business," i said with a big smile.
"Oh that's awesome, i'm actually looking for an assistant, if your interested, it'd probably pay more then that small diner," he chuckled. "And if you wanted we could do the interview tomorrow?"
"Uh yeah I'll definitely think about it" I looked up at him and smiled softly.
We continued down the street as my stomach growled and I guess he heard it "are you hungry?"
"No it's okay I had a muffin at the diner. I'll be fine till I get home."
"We're gonna go eat." He simply stated in a dominant way 'if he wasn't a stranger I just met I'd totally go for him'
"O-okay" I agreed because I felt as though if I didn't he'd get mad.
We crossed the street heading into a McDonald's he ordered a Big Mac while I ordered a salad. I'm not much of a greasy food type of person.
As we were eating, he asked to tell him more about myself.
"Well I used to live in Connecticut, till I decided that I need a change. And I guess my change was New York, I have a little sister that's 14 she still lives with my Mom. I live with my life long best friend speaking of I should probably text her," I laughed a little.
Me: Hey. I'm not gonna be home at the time I said I would Idk if your still out with Jackson but I'm eating out with someone I'll give you the details when you or I get home. Love you <3
I put my phone back in my pocket and looked back up to him starring at me and I started to freak out "what? Oh no is the something on my face!?" I started to take out my phone till I felt a hand stopping me
"Your fine," he smiles big, "your just really fascinating. I couldn't help but stare."
I started laughing " that must be the most cheesiest pick up line I've ever heard!"
He glared at me as I stopped laughing and I kinda sunk in my seat and said quietly "sorry.."
"We should get going its getting late and you have school tomorrow"
We stood up and starting picking up our trash. Walking out i bumped into his back as he suddenly stopped "ow."
'What is with me and him bumping into each other'
"Let's go through the other exit," he said grabbing my wrist harshly once again.
"Let go!" i wanked my wrist out of his grip "what's wrong why can't we go out that one"
"It doesn't matter lets just go," he started walking away to the other exit before i could say anything else
As we got outside, it only took a couple minutes to get to my apartment. we stood out on my steps and talked more.
"You should probably head inside its getting really late."
"Yeah probably," I said chuckling.
"Do you want my phone number, so i can tell you when ill have my driver pick you up from school."
"Uh yeah give my your phone," he dug into his pocket and handed me his phone, I put my number in and gave it back.
"Okay i'll see you tomorrow," he said waving and started walking away.
'Shit I don't even know his name.'
I started running after him a little bit "wait!!"
He stopped immediately, and i accidentally ran into him once again. I was bracing myself for the hard crash till I felt two cold hands on my waist.
He looked at me, and started laughing I'd I started laughing with him.
"So is there a reason you were running after me?"
"Uh yes, I don't even know your name."
"Ah yes, the name. the names Cyrus. Cyrus Mason."
And with that he walked away, leaving me in a state of amazement.
