Tessa
I know this voice. It can't be him.
"Tessa?" the guy said.
I picked up my eyes and travelled them across his body trying to meet his. This was very awkward."What are you doing here?" he asked surprised.
"Well... I...." I was trying to reply but the right words just wouldn't pop out.
"Thank you for ruining my white top" I said obviously annoyed, dven though I was the clumsy one.
"You pushed that chair on me" he defended himself.
"And can't you watch where you are going?"
"Feisty" he sakd shaking his head.
I grabbed a few tissues trying to clean it up but the coffee stain wouldn't budge.
"Here, let me" the guy says and picks up some tissues himself to help me out.
Suddenly he is polite
"I apologise for that"
"It's fine... it's just a t-shirt"
"Still" he said eyeing me up and down. I could see Josh smirking over our funny exchange of words and I knew this encounter would be our conversation for the next few days.
"Come with me" the guy said.
"Excuse me? I won't follow around your commands" I said and crossed my arms stepping a bit closer.
"I'll make it up to you"
"Can't you see I'm not alone?" I said pointing to Josh.
"Oh don't mind me, I was just going home" he says and winks at me.
"Josh wait..." I replied trying to stop him from leaving.
"I'll see you later Tess" he blew me a kiss and left so fast, Hussain Bolt wouldn't catch him if he tried.
That little rat!
"So?" this guy says.
"Who are you anyways?" I ask him completely annoyed by his attitude.
"I'm Hardin. Hardin Scott" he says, and passes me his hand.
"At least I won't have to call you bus guy" I say.
"It was kinda funny. Come on" he says and grabs me from my arm.
"Hey!" I shout at him and he stops.
"Don't touch me" I add.
"Don't worry I don't have cholera. Right this way" he said aith a smirk, and walked ahead of me with his hands in his front pockets.
The only reason I followed him was because of my curiosity. I wasn't scared of him, but I couldn't trust him either. He was a complete stranger.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you" he says forming a small smile.
I didn't say anything and just followed him. We entered an H&M store and headed towards the Women's section.
"What are we doing here?" I asked confused.
"I told you I was going to make it up to you" he says and pushes the elevator button. I remain patient in order to see his intentions and because I didn't want to throw a tantrum in the store.
Walking out the elevator we headed towards the blouses & tops."Pick anything you like" he says and takes a seat.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You heard me"
