Walls of Fire

3: Incoming Call

"Are you sure?" I displayed him a weak smile which clearly showed my discomfort.

"Absolutely" he grinned.

"Why are you being nice to me? I am a stranger." I was flattered by his intense kindness but at the same time, my curiosity was killing me.

Why would a stranger help me and not ask for anything in return? Does he have bad motives in his mind? Is he trying to take advantage of my miserable situation?

My head was filled with random thoughts.

He scrunched his nose before answering me.

"A drawback of being of a sweet person is helping people without possession of any bad intention." He winked at me, making my heart race faster.

"Don't worry, I won't try to peep inside," he assured me.

I sniggered.

"Make yourself home and I can, possibly, help you to search your perfect job if you wish so. I am aware of the fact your friends will be there for you but I would be more than glad to support you as well."

"Thanks James"

Deep down I was aware that I was lonely creature on this alien planet but I preferred to keep it as a secret.

I looked at him sadly, recalling the events from the morning.

"Look James, I don't want to create any misunderstandings between you and your girlfriend." I felt sorry for James. I was familiar with he feelings of being cheated on. As a result of which, I didn't like the idea of being a barrier in another person's life.

"I should go." I made up my mind and turned my back at him, ready to leave but his voice interrupted my action.

"Wait," he paused "I never had a girlfriend."

"Are you sure?" I sprang up in suprise.

His eyes widened as he was trying to analyse the words my silly mouth uttered.

He invested himself into laughing for a minute before answering me.

"I have not found out the right woman till now." He smiled at me warmly.

A guy like him would have been dating, if not more, at least five hot chicks.

I thought at the back of my head.

My musings were disrupted when Mr.Handsome made an effort to provide me a better explanation of his 'clean' character.

"I respect women and I believe firmly in the notion that consent is very important. I won't cause any harm to you so don't be afraid."

He, indeed, possessed a great idea about women. Though I barely had any idea about this stranger but my six sense repeated came to the conclusion that he was a good man.

"Besides, I won't bite you unless beg for it," he winked at me, making my face reddened like a tomato.

He was good at flirting in my comparison.
