FALLING FOR THE MAN IN A MASK

CHAPTER TWO

Emily's POV

Coming back home I never really expected to see a half dead at my door step. There was a man who looked like he was in his death bed with blood all over him. My blood suddenly went cold I don't know what came over me but my body right now was not reasoning with my mind. My mind told me stay but my body was ready to pick him up so that we could help him. I tried I really tried to avoid him but there was the pull which pulled me towards him and it was to strong for me to fight. So I took the man I my arm and opened the door. I put down on couch and rushed in the kitchen to look for the medical aid. When I finally found it I started cleaning his wounds and noticed he had a hole in his left arm. He must have been shot and by the looks of it must have been long ago because lots of blood has been lost and he looks terribly pale. Since his pants didn't look that stained I decided upon changing his shirt and put a tank top on him which I stole from my brother among his few other shirts. What I liked them plus they were all brands. You can't judge a girl by being brand obsessed. I decided upon leaving him here because well he was to heavy to carry upstairs so I just went up and brought him a blanket. Leaving him to have his peaceful sleep I decided to make myself a sandwich and started scolding myself for what a stupid thing I did. I mean he could be a criminal with police after him or my stepmother has finally decided to end my life and used him as bate. I decided not  worry myself about anything and head towards the bedroom for sleep since I was bond to find out tomorrow either way and I need to sleep because tomorrow is a working day.

I couldn't sleep many things evaded my mind. So many questions and all of them were  consisting the dying man downstairs. I mean is it even legal for me to keep him here. I thought about calling Mia but then what would I say to her ' hey Mia this is Em I just called to tell you there is a dying man downstairs' I mean that sounds stupid even in my heard but then again the man looked like he wouldn't wake up in a long time giving me enough time to sleep.

I don't know when I finally felt asleep but it was damn late because I woke up feeling like a dead bird. Since it was quit downstairs I decided I should take a shower. At least if I die I die fresh. After the shower I put on a gown went downstairs to cook breakfast. I cooked beacon, eggs, sausage and same toast. I'm sure he must be starving. I decided upon ignoring the part of my brain which asked me why I cared because even I didn't have the answer to that question. I stood there a while considering If I should wake him up or just leave ' but what if his a burglar' my mind argued me to wake him up just to be on the same side. I shook him just a little and he was on his feet ready to attack.

" wow calm down! " I said backing away from him. He looked around at his surroundings and eventually calmed down when he noticed I meant no harm.

" who are you?" He asked with a husky voice and damn was he sexy he had ice blue eyes and lashes thicker than mine a fine jaw and sexy lips with messy brown hair that looked liked it was black. I was brought out of my staring  when he cleared a little. I blushed a little but deciding on letting it go and focus on the matter on hand.

" not be rude but I should be asking you that question " I said crossing my arms at my chest. I wasn't about to tell same stranger my name. He looked to be in deep thought before he extended his hand.

" Xavier "

" Emily"

We stood the a little longer before I noticed that we stood there doing nothing and the man was probably hungry.

" oh where are my manners you must be hungry" I said pointing towards the kitchen. The table was already set up so nothing much was left to do either than eat. The first few minutes we ate in silence till Xavier decided upon breaking it.

" mind me asking how I got here" he asked still not looking up from his plate.

" I found you in my door step" I answered silently

" then what you just took me"

" yes " I answered sincerely causing him to laugh and I gave him a confused look.

" wait let me get this straight you took me a man you know nothing about in your house "

" well excuse me if same of us are nice" I said hurt by his remark. I mean I saved his ass he would be dead with out me. I got out leaving the table to go back to my room to prepare for which I was already late thanks to this stupid handsome stranger. What! His hot but an as.  I decide on wearing a matching two piece which consisted of a black pencil skirt and a blouse. Walking out of my room I decided to go find Xavier. He might be an ass but he deserved an explanation.

" where you going ?" He said causing me to shriek out of shock and fear.

" you scared me!! And to answer you question am going to work" I thought I saw him frown before his face turned cold.

" any ways there clothes in my room take a shower and there same food in the fridge" I said walking towards the door. I turned back when I heard him talk.

" thank you" which caused me to smile a little "don't mess this up"
