An Adorable Rascal Has My Heart.

Chapter Two: Fireworks.

When I woke up I was still in bed and then I sighed in relief. I smiled at the weird way my mind worked. What kind of a dream was that?! Man, I had totally gotten loco.

“Thank god, that was a dream.” I mumbled and then I slumped in the bed.

“Uh … hi.” I heard the voice and jerked in my bed. Pain exploded in my head when I did and then I gasped in shock.

He was here; it wasn’t a dream after all. He was here!

“Oh my god.” I whispered and then tears filled my eyes, I wanted to go home.

“Hey look you just fainted on me so I couldn’t explain please …” he broke off when he saw my tears and then he was sitting on MY bed.

“Please, please, don’t cry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” He said in a pleading tone.

“I’m … not … crying.” I said as the sobs took me, I was missing daddy, April, my home! This place sucked! I couldn’t believe what this .. this ogre of a man had did!

“Hey please.” His voice turned pleading and I turned to him, I looked in his eyes and my breath caught in my throat.

Which wad odd, because he could be a criminal for all I cared and here I was missing a beat over HIM!

He had the most amazing grey eyes I had even seen in my life! They were deep, so deep I could hardly look away and then I saw the concern there for me, I went still, tears forgotten and I descended in his eyes.

“Miss?” he said and my gaze travelled to his lips, earlier I had thought he was handsome but this man was drop dead gorgeous! Holy smoke!

He had those fleshy lips that made you wanna nibble at them!

Oh, my God! What the hell was I thinking?!

“Miss? Look please don’t scare me like this, do you need to go the hospital?” He said again but I just couldn’t reply.

“Hey?” He said again and this time he touched my cheek, a shock went through me. And for a minute when his hand pressed in my cheek, fireworks exploded in my head.

What the hell?!

“Don’t touch me.” I gasped and he took his hand away, immediately.

“I’m sorry.” He mumbled, I came back to earth. What was happening to me?

“Look I’m okay.” I said and he nodded.

“I’m saying again, I’m sorry like hell I scared you, I really didn’t mean to.” He told me and there was a … a sincerity in his eyes and I couldn’t help but believe him.

“That’s okay, I’m just away from home and that’s why I was really scared.” I mumbled.

God, thinking of home got all the memories back.

“Well. I’m Chris Davis by the way. And yes, I do have an ID to prove it. And I’m no criminal.” He added hastily and then he smiled.

Shock, tingles and electricity.

Oh man!

“I’m Caramel Ashton.” I whispered and his smile turned to a grin.

“That’s an unusual name.” He said and I nodded.

“Daddy liked it and mom couldn’t do a thing.” I smiled a little.

“Yeah, well it’s sweet too and I don’t know why but it suits you.” He said and I blushed, God I hated blushing but I did that all the time.

“I’m so glad the colour is coming back in you, when you fainted you were so pale.” He said and I saw the worry in his eyes again.

“Yeah, well that was shock. With the manager, you, Michael, my wedding … I think that was all I could take.” I said and then realised I had just told him about my wedding, oh hell!

“Uh, you’re married?” He asked, certainly shocked.

“No, but I just jilted my ex-fiancé at the altar today.” I said and gave a bitter smile.

“Wow. If you don’t mind can I ask why?” he asked, he seemed … amused?

“Now, that’s the simplest question, because I didn’t love him.” I said.

“Oh right. ‘This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet’. Love." He said and I was thoroughly shocked now.

“You just quoted Romeo and Juliet didn’t you?” I asked him and he nodded.

“You know Romeo and Juliet?” I asked bewildered.

“Duh! Who doesn’t?” That was not a question and I felt stupid. He knew Romeo and Juliet. Wow.

“Yeah, well being me, I think all I want is love.” I said and Chris snorted.

“So you are in Alabama in search of love?” He asked, was I? And did I start already? With him? Shit, get him out of your mind Caramel, I scolded myself.

“No, I just wanted to get away for some time.” I said and Chris sighed.

“Then you are all alone.” He stated and I realised, yes I was all alone and then there was Chris with that amazing face, beautiful smile and those eyes!

I was going loco and I should definitely get away from him. He was sitting right there at my bed, sort of leaning into me and smiling and talking to me and it did not have a good effect on my health at all!

I could faint again!

“No, April will come soon.” I said hurriedly, hoping she will when I call her.

“April?” He asked and I sighed, hell why did I tell him about her. Shoot.

“Oh, she’s my best-friend.” I said and he smiled.

“Okay. Hey listen, I have to run as you know I came here for my sister and its almost afternoon, so I think I should meet her before she starts getting her pretty little blonde head worried for me and files me missing.” He said and I nodded. He was going!

“Yeah, well I’ll say sorry again and that it was interesting to meet you … Caramel.” He said and stood from my bed, so did I.

“It was very interesting to meet you too … Chris.” I replied, he gave me anther smile and then extended a card.

“Now that we are buddies, if you need anything call me.” He said, his eyes twinkling.

“Will do, buddy.” I said, his smile changed to a grin and then he laughed.

“See you when I see you.” He said and then he was gone and I was all alone and even though I didn’t know what to think of Mr. Chris Davis, I just knew I liked him.

He had a spunk and he was downright crazy. Literally!
