Lost & Found.

Chapter 10

Finally Friday.... I had the weekend off so I was extremely excited. China was also opening her new club to the public this Saturday so I was definitely looking forward to the festivities. I breezed through my charting, gave my detailed report to my relieve nurse and made my way to the bus stop. I always took the bus to work because it was much easier and I avoided the heavy traffic. I got to the bus stop and noticed I was the only one there , I wasn't alarmed because it was a well lit area and there was a lot going on in the street , I sat on the bench and put my air pods in and listened to music on a low volume while scrolling down my Instagram timeline. The street light was suddenly shaded in front of me and when I looked up I saw that it was because a black G-wagon had stopped right in front of the bus stop, blocking the street light. I know I said a lot was going on in the street but my heart was beating so fast . I quickly took my air pods out and got up, Fight or flight mode. I was definitely going with flight because ain't nobody got time for anything else. I grabbed my purse and power walked out of the shed. I quickened my pace and noticed the car was following me. This street was usually very busy but not a single car but the G-wagon was on the road at the moment. Just my luck. The car finally sped up a little past me and the driver rolled the passenger window down as I practically ran passed it.

"Tazeema" The person yelled and I continued walking. The car drove slowly by my side and I just about wet my pants till heard someone laughing really loudly. I turned to see Jeremy was the driver of the suspicious car.

"Fuck you Jeremy" I said clutching my purse to my chest, he was laughing so hard that I joined him. I laughed so hard that I had to squat down on the sidewalk to avoid peeing on myself. When the laughter died down I stood up and we both stared at each other breathing heavily.

"Get in Tazeema" he said looking very serious.

"I'm good, the bus will be here any minute" I said looking towards the bus stop. Jeremy hit his steering wheel causing me to flinch and turn to him. He had his face down.

"Must you always be stubborn, Shit just get in the fucking car and let me drive you home" he said looking up, his face softened when he saw my expression.

 " Shit I'm sorry, I just don't like that you are sitting at the bus stop this late alone. Even though me following you was a prank Taz , it could've been real. Some sicko could have really harmed you. Please let me take you home". I just nodded and he leaned toward the door and opened it then I got in. I gave him the address and he put it in the GPS and drove off.

"You know I take the bus everyday and I've been fine" I said

"Its still not safe" he said simply. We drove a few minutes in an awkward silence but the air was too thick in the car.

"You really got me, you have just started a prank war Mr. Caine" I said trying to lighten the mood . He laughed

"Let the games begin, I do have to warn you I don't scare easily Ms. Naidoo" he said focusing on the road.

 "So you and Travis.... are you guys like a thing now" Jeremy said right when we stopped at a red light. Just when I thought we were doing so well with the friend thing. I sighed deeply and turned to my window gazing off to completely nothing hoping he would take that as a hint that this conversation was a no go zone. The light turned green and he sped off. I thought I was in the clear but then he cleared his throat dramatically.

"How is that any of your concern" I said turning towards him and he shrugged glancing at me and then back towards the road.

" Well I hope you know there is a strict no dating policy at the hospital" he said smirking while I stared at him in shock.

"N...no no I didn't know that" I stammered

"Ahaaa so you are dating, n...no no I didn't know that" he mimicked me
