Eva

I awoke to white soft sheets, and the bright morning light trickling in through the blinds, I placed my arms above my head and sit up, my eyes widened when I realized I was in an unfamiliar room, then memories of last night began flooding in,

I remember running from those hooded men and running into a beautiful man, I remember asking him for help and he fought off the hooded men in a blink of an eye,

He saved me, but where am I? I can't remember anything beyond that, was I captured again? I began to panic, I took off the covers and gasped as I was now in a set of man clothes, I began to freak out as different scenarios kept popping in my mind,

But soon I was torn out of my thoughts when I heard footsteps approaching the door, it began to open and I moved slightly on the bed, clutching tightly to the covers, scared of who it might be,

A muscular figure appeared and a quick gasp escaped out of my mouth as I realized who it was, It was the beautiful stranger who had saved me from the hooded men last night,

He closed the door behind and began taking small steps towards me, He was wearing a black suit that fitted beyond perfection, curving his attractive and muscular physic,

I quickly snapped out of and averted my eyes to my hands, I flinched slightly as I felt the corner of the bed sink in,

"Ti senti meglio?" I heard his voice say and I looked up at him puzzled at his foreign words, "Ah! English lady.." he uttered in his mixed French accent, "How do you feel?" he switched,

I nodded instead, averting my eyes away from him,

"What's your name?" He asked calmly and I battled with myself on whether to tell him or not, but he did save my life, I guess I owe him that much.

"Eva.." I whispered,

"Eva." he repeated, his eyes scrutinizing me intently as if trying to read me, feeling scared I shifted uncomfortably on the bed,

"I'm Carlos." he said. 'Carlos, the name suited him perfectly.' I thought briefly to myself, I looked up at him again, "Where am I?" I asked looking around my surrounding,

"My hotel," he replied simply, I took a light breath before asking him the next question,

"Did you change me into this cloth?"

He wasted no time in replying,

"Yes.."

I felt the blood in cheeks boil out of embarrassment, he changed me out of my dress, he saw me naked, the mere thought of it makes me want to yell and scream, but I nodded instead gathering myself up,

"Mr. Carlos, thank you for saving me and letting me rest in your hotel," I say in a grateful voice, "but now I have to go.."I said and got up to leave, but I stopped in place when I felt strong hand grab mine, I looked down to see Carlos holding me,

"Who's after you? who are you running from?" He asked his ocean like blue eyes appearing angry all of a sudden, "Tell me.." He snarled,

I jolted my hand off him, "It's none of your business and I can take of care myself, just return my clothes, so I can be on my way." I looked to the corner of the room and spotted a long couch where my dress was folded neatly,

I immediately stood up and walked over to grab it, "I can protect you.." he tells me,

I shook my head hysterically,

I shook my head hysterically,

"You can't..." I whispered, then with one last scathing look towards him, I ran out of the room and out the lobby, before he could stop me, I know I'm being insensitive, considering he saved my life, but the last thing I needed was to get myself caught up in more debts,

Remembering,

No kindness comes without a price.
