"I read bl so can you do a one shot about 2 strangers who are hooking up for a night?.."
Prompt given to me by my friends Pearl and ...Stay weird.
I sat on the bus stop contemplating my next move. I had ran away without a second thought and now reality came knocking....way too fast for my liking. I do have my wallet with me and have enough in my cards to get me half way across the world. But that didn't mean I really wanted to run away that far...so far that there's no chance of running into anyone I know...a nice thought...not gonna lie....but my independence depends on having my parents within reach.
Independently dependent....I snorted as I thought about it.
All my life I've had a plan on what I wanted out of my life and I guess not everything can go according to my set plan because at the end of the day, my life-course does not depend solely on me.
I had finished my law diploma and had started to date who I thought was the best girl for me. We met in the office where we both worked as paralegals. I was so in love...I looked at my watch...Its only been two hours...I guess if I categorize what we had in the past tense, it must mean that I had made up the feelings in my head...It was all in my head...I never had her...she was never mine.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before drooping my head between my legs in despair.
"You know there are no running buses at this time?" I snapped my head up at the baritone that sounded too close to me. How long was I lost in my thoughts that someone could get that close to me without me noticing?!
"Huh?!" I asked, stupefied.
"I'm sorry for startling you. I did excuse myself but you didn't hear me" The dark hulk of a man said again...I felt so tiny next to him, especially since I was sitting and he was towering over me.
"I said there are no buses running at this time. I'm waiting for my uber here if you need a ride anywhere I can share with you," he talked again and only caught ride and nodded.
What's wrong with me?! Am I that messed up over one sip of whiskey? And the breakup also I guess.
"Ok, I'm going to the Cresta uptown. Is it in the direction you're going?" He's really being nice to me. Why?
"I don't have any cash!" I blurted out. Just incase he thought he could rob me.
Adonis raised his eyebrow at me and laughed under his breath and I felt myself get hot form...embarrassment.
"Getting robbed should be the least of your worries right now." I felt a shiver go down my spine at the way his eyes raked along my legs. I had on my short shorts. I had not intended to go out looking like this...I had gotten off work early and had decided to go to my girlfriend's place and had worn my tiny swim shorts and fell asleep in her back lounge. I didn't know I'd get surprised by her aqua-aerobics with her "friend".
"The car is here" I lifted my eyes to see him waving down the uber. Amazing how he could continue talking with my non answer reactions.
I got up and went to get in after he signaled for me to get in before him.
"Thank you." I murmured shyly as I sat back against the cushy seats and closed my eyes.
"Where are you getting off?"
"I'll get a room at Cresta too, thanks" I responded, thinking its better if I got off at his stop so he won't have to pay for my cab when he doesn't even know me. I shouldn't take the hospitality of a stranger too far.
I guess I was too relaxed because when I came to I was resting my head on the crook of his neck and my left hand was across his torso. Who sleeps like that with a stranger! I guess I have that low of a self preservation.
