EPOV:

Bella. What a beautiful name, but what an even more beautiful woman. I couldn't seem to get her out of my head since our run in earlier tonight.

The paramedics had escorted the man – James, I think his name was – to the hospital to treat his broken nose.

And that left Bella, out there, alone and cold, and possibly bleeding out inside her skull.

Awesome.

I looked down at my watch; 2AM. I had to pick up my friend's little sister at the bus depot around 6. He called in a favor, of transporting her from the depot to the hotel, where he would meet her later in the day. He just didn't want to get out of bed this early. Fucker.

I remembered his sister, she came to visit us once in college. She was covered in makeup and was showing off her "new" chest. I personally am not a fan of implants. I like my women all natural.

She had developed a little crush for me back then, and things had gotten awkward. Luckily for me though she only came twice more.

What was here name again….Tenisha, Tara, Toto, Tanya! That's it – Tanya.

I went to the valet stand and handed over my ticket, waiting impatiently for my baby. My latest present to myself, a Bugatti Veyron – $1.7 million, two-toned black and charcoal grey, the fastest car in the world. The valet pulled my baby around, revving the engine once or twice before getting out and eyeing it appreciatively. I handed him a hundred dollar bill and thanked him, jumping into my baby and leaving him in the dust seconds later.

The roads were empty, and I really got to open my baby up, speeding my way to my building. I parked in my spot - I bought the two on either side of my baby as well, just to make sure no idiot would get too close to her. I did a quick eye sweep over my Harley, and noticing nothing out of place made my way to the elevator to crash for a few hours.

My alarm woke me up a few hours later, and I hit the snooze button without even thinking.

When my alarm went off again, I groaned and rolled over, checking the time out of one squinting eye.

5:45. Fuck, how did that happen? I have to pick Tanya up in like ten minutes. Fuck!

I jumped out of bed, throwing on some jeans and a t-shirt, not even bothering to stop in the bathroom on my way out.

I waiting impatiently for and then in the elevator, before running into to my car and punching the accelerator.

I made it to the bus depot with two minutes to spare, just long enough to relieve my aching bladder.

The depot was empty, and there was an "Out of Order" sign on the men's room, so I did the only logical thing – I went into the women's room.

I ran in without even looking around, making a bee-line for a stall before relieving myself. I flushed and opened the door, this time peeking around. I noticed feet sticking out from the last stall, and went to investigate.

There, curled up on the floor of a filthy bathroom in a bus depot, was Bella.

My Bella.

I stood in shock, staring at the figure in front of me. Her face was filthy, with some dried blood caked in here hair. Her eyes were moving beneath her lids, and she had a sort of restless energy about her, like she was ready to wake and bolt at any moment.

I stood there in shock, unsure of what to do now. She was sleeping in a bus depot, did that mean she was homeless?

I shook my head to clear it, and then went out to meet Tanya's bus. It was delayed, which was perfect, since I needed to make a few phone calls anyway.

I picked up my cell and dialed Alice's number, plans already starting to form in my head. No way was I letting my girl stay in a filthy depot, I could barely stand being here for more than 20 minutes.

No, she was mine now.
