Innocent Eyes

Chapter 5

To say this guy was hot is an understatement. I wipe the tears away and grab his extended hand so he can help me to my feet. "Sorry," I mumble looking down. This guy is way to hot and his first impression of me is a clumsy crybaby.

He puts a hand on my shoulder leaning down so he's eye level with me. "Are you ok?" He asks looking genuinely concerned. I look at his face taking in the features. He has intense eyes like the ocean, blue/green. He has a slight amount of stubble forming on his face and a distinct jawline. His hair was short and blonde.

I look down at my feet to escape the intensity of his stare. "I'm fine, I just wasn't paying attention." He lifts my chin up to make me look him in the eyes again. I flinched just slightly when he touched me. He noticed my reaction and quickly removed his hand. I wrapped my arms around me for comfort. He may be good looking but I sure didn't trust him. He looked at me with pity in his eyes. "What happened? People don't just flinch away for the hell of it?" He watched me intently. "I .." I began to speak when Micheal came running out of the theater.

He walked up to me trying to put his hand on my arm but I panicked and tried to step back falling again. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you! I don't know why I did that I really like you Lexi!" I crawled back until my back was against the building as I cried. I waisted my first kiss on him. He tried to force himself on me. "What the fuck did you do?!" The stranger said as he grabbed Michael by the collar of his shirt slamming him into the wall.

"I.. I was just..." he continued stammering in fear as he tried to wiggle out of his grasp. The guy looked down at me "did he try to force himself on you?" He asks still holding onto Michael. A sob escapes my lips not able to say the words. That's all the conformation he needed. He pulled his arm back and with much force punched Micheal in the face twice.

I stayed of the ground stunned by what I am witnessing. He doesn't even know me and he's defending me. He throws him on the ground in the street. "DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK OR TOUCH HER AGAIN!" He yells and Micheal nods frantically and runs away. He turns to look at me, his eyes soften as he takes in my sniffling form.

He slowly squats down in front of me talking in a very calm and sweet tone. "Do you have a way home?" I shake my head no as I wipe my face with the inside of my shirt. He holds out his hand and I accept his help once again. "I'll bring you home Lexi, if that's ok?" He asks looking at me for confirmation. I nod slowly ,"Who are you?" I ask wanting to know the name of the boy who defended my honor.

"My name is Jacob.."
