The subway was packed. I had no choice but to sit next to this weird, old looking guy, who was staring at me and smiling. Maybe he's just an old fellow trying to be nice, I thought to myself and made my way, tripping here and there, through the crowd to sit next to him. I think he was still staring at me when I sat down, I could just feel it. So I took out a book from my handbag and pretended to read it. His head was still turned to my direction and his face seemed to be getting closer. I decided I had enough and spun my head to his direction to give him a mean stare so he could back off. When I saw him, he looked at me and smiled.
"Hi there, sweetie." He said. I couldn't believe my ears. Did he just call me sweetie? Unless he called me Tweety, but I don't look like a small, yellow bird with a humongous head...At least I don't think I do.
I honestly did not know how to react. So I ignored him. He continued mumbling some stuff to me, but I turned my whole body the other way and tried to be VERY interested in my book. As soon as the subway stopped and the announcer started to speak, I felt so relieved. I quickly grabbed my stuff and exited the train. It was SO deserted outside. No one else got out, from what I could see. It wasn't surprising, though, because who wants to go to the little rainy town called Forks? They probably have better things to do. But I had to hurry up or Charlie would get worried. I was just about to take a step after I got out when I realized the freaky old man was following me. He called after me and asked me where I was going. I tried to keep walking ahead without reacting. Then I saw a tall and slender guy in a beige leather jacket walking towards my direction, just about ten feet away. Yessss, I cheered inside my head. I ran to him and hugged him.
"Where WERE you??! I got so worried, I thought I lost you!" I spoke eagerly. Before he could say anything, I let go of him and looked at his face, winking while I did that. Then I mouthed the words "help me". He looked at me with concern, then looked behind me. Comprehension lighted his face, and he grinned.
"I was just getting you some coffee, princess. Then I remembered how much you hate coffee from the subway station. I'm so sorry I worried you, my love." He said as cheesily as he could and gave me a tight hug and kissed my cheek. Okay, THAT was uncalled for. He was going overboard with the kiss. Although, it sent tingles down my spine, the feeling of his soft, cold lips touching my cheek.
I pushed him away a little, without letting the stalker notice my agitation, and held this guy's hand, pulling him towards the exit. "So c'mon! Let's get some Starbucks," I urged. As soon as we made it outside, into the parking lot, I looked back to see that the old man had gone. I saw him enter the subway again, as it made its next stop. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god," I mumbled.
"You're welcome darling," he grinned, mischievously. I rolled my eyes.
He stretched his arms a little and yawned. Only now I realized how handsome he was. If I had noticed before, I would have never had the guts to go hug him. His eyes were emerald green and his skin was pale. His copper hair was a little spiky and tangled up, looking as perfect as possible. Through his tight white shirt under his leather jacket, I could see the shape of 8-pack abs. "Now, let's go get our coffee." he continued, and grabbed my hand.
"Uhm, it was nice of you to help and all, but I don't need it anymore. Thanks, you can let go of my hand now." I spoke very quickly as he was dragging me along.
"Well you seem to need some sugar and carbs in your body after that little fright you had." He said, looking at me with concern. "Besides," his face lightened up, "I saved your life and gave you a kiss, which I KNOW you loved very much. The least you could do is pay me back, sweetheart." He grinned, staring dangerously deep into my eyes. I froze. His eyes were casting a spell on me. What was he saying again? Oh yeah...coffee. Wait, what??? THAT JERK! To think I liked, no, correction, LOVED his kiss was completely outrageous!
"I'm sorry, I would join you over coffee, but JERKS just aren't my type. I can't believe you! Your pathetic kiss didn't work any charm on me so don't be so sure that I'm gonna just stand here and let you drag me off to get coffee!" I rattled on and on until he let go of my hand and froze. Then a huge grin spread on his face.
"Are you sure about that?" He raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean--" before I could finish, he flung me over his shoulder and started to walk. "Put me downnnnn!" I wailed. He seated me in his car and walked to the driver's seat. I crossed my arms and refused to give in. "I would rather be kidnapped by that old stalker than have coffee with a self-centered jerk." I mumbled.
He started driving and looked at me, and smiling. "What're you smiling at?" I asked tersely.
"I know you enjoyed my kiss." He sighed. "I'm just too hot to resist. I mean, you should have seen the way you ran into my arms. I wasn't shocked at all. Hot girls always throw themselves at me." He grinned widely, flashing his white teeth at me. I was simply stunned at this jerk's comments. Did he just indirectly call me hot? I simply decided to stay quiet. I was considering calling the police but then I thought of how Charlie would get involved and then get all worried for no reason every time I take the subway. I sighed.
" Dude, whatever your name is, give it up already! Just stop the car and let me take a cab home. And then, how about you do both of us a favor and never show me your face again?" I smiled sarcastically.
He chuckled. "How would that be a favor to myself?" he asked.
"If you don't, then I'll call the cops." I flipped out my cell phone from my handbag.
He glanced at my cell, then at my oh-so-serious face and smiled again. This dude was so full of smiles! I was being dead serious and he was STILL smiling! Of course, he didn't know I wasn't actually planning on calling the cops. Did he?
"Why are you smiling now?" I raised an eyebrow.
"You girls...are of an adorable specimen." He chuckled, and then stopped the car.
"Thanks. For stopping the car, I mean." I said as I got out of the car and slammed the door shut, tripping a little while I was at it. I swear I heard him chuckle at my clumsiness. He rolled down the window.
"See you next fall!" he yelled with a smirk on his face as I entered a taxi. Yes, I hope it's HIS fall. His...cute, pale skin, sparkling eyes, sexy hair, and.....Oh my god Bella, I thought to myself, get a hold of yourself. He's a jerk. A hot jerk. But a jerk, nonetheless.
