Chapter two

I looked at the man who held me and my brain instantly Filled up with fog, my mouth instantly going dry.

He was the most handsome man I have ever seen with beautiful golden eyes that sparkled under the mid-morning sun giving him that flirtatious and handsome look.

He had jet black hair cut in the sides that brought out the magnificently perfect jawline sculpted to perfection, I was so tempted to have my hands run through that thick looking hair and just mess it up.

His straight slightly long nose had a little pink that perfectly complimented his beautiful plum lips which were slightly parted invitingly, I was almost drooling.

Judging by his facial features he looked not a day older than twenty-five. 

"You okay?" He asked in his husky British accent that made my senses go haywire.

"Fhf kjyb fhht." I quickly covered my mouth feeling extremely embarrassed when I realised that I was literally ogling  at a stranger and uttering unintelligent sounds instead of going to the mall.

Dang it! I should have never trusted my voice in the first place! He probably things I'm crazy.

"I didn't get you love, would you say that again?" he said raising his perfectly drawn left eyebrow, his eyes filled up with a mischievous glint. 

I cleared my throat wiggly myself out of his arms and I was glad that he was kind enough to let me go.

He looked to be a lot taller than me maybe 6'3 while I was 5'4, he run his hand through his hair showcasing his extra large muscle that put the tight go T he was wearing to shame.

I couldn't help but stare at his perfect eight packed chest that was clearly visible under the small fabric and I unconsciously licked my lips, my fingers itching to touch them delicious eight packs.

" uh love, You have a little drool over there." He pointed that out breaking me from my staring moment.

I almost died of embarrassment quickly wiping the drool away with the sleeve of my sweater. 

The wind blew by, my hair flying everywhere Luckingly hiding my embarrassment.

"Thank you, excuse me." I managed to say speed walking away from him.

Gosh I was such a fool to have drooled in front of a hot man like him! Dang it.

"Hey wait up!" I heard him say which only made me walk faster but he was quick to catch up to me.

"I didn't get your name or perhaps your phone number love." He said walking next to me, "I am Jaycob King nice to meet you." He stretched out his hand for me to shake. I looked at the hand for a while and then shook my head.

"Sorry excuse me sir, but I don't talk to strangers." I responded speed walking again afraid that my mom might suddenly drive by in her Audi and accuse me of hoeing around again

"I get it love, would you mind if I dropped you off? Where are you heading?" He asked again. 

Can't this guy get the hint that I am not interested!

"Sorry but I can walk on my own thank you." I replied a little too rude but oh well, I had to do something to stop him from following me. He was cute but I wasn't going to risk letting mom or our noisy neighbours see us together. 

"Okay see you around." with that he slowed down his pace and I was glad when I looked behind me to find him no longer following me, atleast he was kind enough to get the hint. 

I blew out a breath, also slowing down but not too much.

In just a few minutes I was finally at the mall.

I looked at my kiddy watch and it was 30 minutes passed nine, I smiled in awe realising that I just did a one hour walk in thirty minutes, all thanks to the handsome stranger who made me speed walk.

I entered the grocery shop and bought everything that was on my list and luckily it was all there.

"The total is one hundred dollars and ninety nine cents." The cashier said giving me a bored look.

 I looked at the hundred dollar note I had and it was not enough, there wasn't even anything that I would leave out or maleficent would kill me.

I checked in my small purse to see if I had any cents but it was useless, there was none, not even a single cent.

"Are you going to pay up miss?" The cashier asking giving me an impatient look, "there are a lot of customers who would like to purchase their items too you know,"

 I looked behind me and sure enough, there was a long line of customers.

I didn't know whether to just leave the items or not. I couldn't even bargain because it was a strictly no bargain grocery store.

"I will pay for her." I heard that husky British voice again that almost made my knees feel weak. 

I looked on and the man looked even more handsome than he was when I saw him minutes ago.

"yes of course sir!" The cashier said in a sweet flirtatious tone flaunting her boobs at my MAN! Wait, since when did he become my man? Well, I saw him first!!

I was still frozen in awe looking  at the figure of handsomeness and I wasn't the only one.

Some women who passed by were even swaying their hips  like sluts begging to be laid and I couldn't help but glare at them. How dare they stare at my man like that! He came here for me not them!!

Wait why am I being possessive? 

I looked at the man again and his eyes were fixed on me but he quickly averted his gaze looking at his wallet.

I felt wings sprout on my back knowing that his eyes were firmly on me and not all the women who were trying to grab his attention

So sweet! I felt all giddy inside. 

This is the first time I have actually felt like this for a man. I have never had a boyfriend before much less a crush.

" one hundred dollars and ninety nine cents." the cashier's voice snapped me from the shock but it was too late, the handsome dude had already taken his wallet paying the bill.

"Thank you sir, have a nice day." the cashier winked at him pushing her boobs up so that they could almost fall out.

She had no shame, flirting with another woman's man.

The dude  as usual didn't spare her a glance but instead grabbed my grocery bags and without a word, walked out of the grocery store.

"Hey wait up!" I ran after him, "That's my stuff." I said once I caught up to him catching my breath.

That was the issue with tall people, they walked too fast. Not that I have anything against tall people I love them, they just walk fast. 

He chuckled beautifully handing me the bag making me feel hot all over. How can someone be turned on by a chuckle? I need to put my hormones in check.

"Thank you." I shyly said taking it from him, I know someone out there said to never take candy from a stranger but if I had gone back home without the items, maleficent would have killed me!!

I opened my small purse taking out the hundred dollar note and handing it to him.

"I will pay you back the  ninty nine cents. You don't have to worry."

"No silly." he chuckled again. " I didn't help you so that you could pay me back, how could I even be a gentle man if I didn't help a beautiful lady like you." His tone some how sounded like he was flirting but that's just me being me, right?

"But I--"

"No buts miss, I am just glad I helped you, See you around." he winked, walking away from me.

'What the hell just happened?' I asked myself looking at the hundred dollar note that now looked like it was going to be my pocket money.

No one has ever done something this nice for me.

I smiled at the man's retreating figure then turned around walking back home. I could have taken a cab now that I have money but it was too risky, mom might find out and then yell at me.

Luckily by the time I reached home it was 11 a.m, I still had an hour to prepare lunch.

I put the groceries I bought in the kitchen then went up to my room carefully hiding the hundred dollar note I had, I didn't want mom to see it cause if she did, she would accuse me of whoring again and asking money from men which I don't do.

I went back to the kitchen then quickly prepared lunck just like she wanted and set the table.

I didn't even have to call her and tell her that lunch was ready because she was a true time keeper.

The moment it struck twelve on my kiddy watch, I heard the upstairs door opened followed by footsteps.

I quickly grabbed my food going to sit in the kitchen, eating my lunch while my mind drifted off to the man.

Who was he and why was he so nice to me?

Why was I feeling some kind of attraction towards him.

Could it be that we were somehow connected?

I couldn't find any answers to my question so instead I just let everything be and focused on what was important. 

I finished up my lunch then cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Once I was done, I went back to my room taking out my books and studying for the test we were going to have on Monday.
