Chapter 2

What you gonna do now that you are out here with probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever met. And trust me it's a long list.

"It's a nice night," she said as she brought me out of my own thoughts.I glared at her. "What?"

"Did you just say that?"

"I'm not allowed to?"

She smiled.

"It's just kind of obvious. A beautiful woman like you doesn't seem like you would be that obvious."

She smiled again.

"What?" I asked.

"You think I'm beautiful, huh?"

I blushed. We stopped walking and she turned towards me.

Don't make this awkward.

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

She kissed me. It's been millenias since I had a kiss especially one like this. Time stopped and it was nothing but, pure bliss. It was soft and gentle.

You just met this woman and you're kissing her? How is this just talking?

She pulled away and I blinked furiously.

"Was it bad?" she feared as she took a step back.

I smiled.

"No, I just haven't had a kiss like that in a long time."

"So, it wasn't too so, then?"

She took a step forward with an adorable smile on her face.

"Maybe but,.."

"But,.." she teased.

"I don't care if it was."

She held out her hand.

"Can I see your phone?"

I bit my lip.

"Sure."

"Here is my number if ever want to, you know, hangout."

"Cool. Shall we continue our walk?"

"Sure."

God, she is so beautiful and her smile makes me melt. Damn me.

"So, what's your major?"

"Communications and Journalism," I responded,"I want to be a radio host or producer., whichever opportunity comes ?"

"Just journalism for me. I love to write."

She tucked her hair behind her ear.

"God, why do you have to be so perfect?"

She laughed.

The wind began to pick up. I grabbed Sara's hand and we both stopped in our tracks. I heard rustling so I looked around.

"Did you hear that?" I asked her like she had supersonic hearing or something.

"Now. What is it?"

Then, a knife was headed towards us. I pulled Sara out of the way and the knife hit the tree that was behind us. I grabbed it and threw back from where it was thrown. It hit something. I rushed towards the groans. Sara look dumbfounded by what was happening.

"Who are you?!" I demanded. They didn't answer.

I took their arm and threatened to break it. Sara seemed scared.

"Who are you?!" They just laughed.

"He will find you and your little canary too." He motioned towards Sara. Then, he slit his own throat.

"What the hell?" was all Sara managed to say.

"Let me take you home."

"Yeah. That seems like a good idea."

'How could she want to speak to me after nearly being killed last night. Plus, me almost breaking that guy's arm in front of her probably scared her. Good job Abbey. You blew probably your one shot at having something good for you. I'm a complete dumbass.'

Alex came into the room.

"You were out late." I picked.

"What? No!"

"At least one of us had fun."

She grabbed the Fruity Pebbles and a bowl and sat down.

"You mean you didn't?"

"No, I did. At least until the assassin turned up."

She giggled. Then, she saw my face,

"Oh, you were serious. Yeah and I don't know who sent him."

"Well didn't you..um...you know him until he spilled the beans?"

"No, I didn't need to answer more questions because this all happened in front of Sara. I did try to though with threatening to break his arm."

"And?"

"He slit his throat before I had a chance to react."

"Well, this is certainly breakfast conversation worthy."

I went back to typing on my laptop before I closed the lid.

"Can't I have class. Lunch?"

"Always. Maybe we can talk about Sara?" She teased.

I laughed.

"Whatever, dude. Peace."
