Are you my saviour or my destroyer?

When Miguel was about to leave, after dropping me home, I unconsciously grabbed his wrist to stop him. He raised a brow confused. I blushed at my action and let go of his wrist.

"Ummm...It would be rude if I don't offer you a cup of coffee or tea before you head your way. Since you did say you... didn't want to go to a celebration." I muttered.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me with his piercing silver eyes but then smiled.

'Damm it, my heart felt like it was going to explode thanks to his stare!"

"Sure" he said and I nervously led him to my apartment and opened the door.

"My apartment may be small but it's cosy. You can have a seat in the living room. Do you want anything?" I asked. He didn't answer right away because he took a good look at my home with a emotionless expression.

'Is he about to insult me or tell me that he feels cramped and disgusted by my home?' I thought and bit my lip.

My expression and action didn't go unnoticed by the man. He gave a charming smile. "Your home is lovely."

I nodded relieved and gestured him to take his seat.

"I would like black coffee" He finally answered my question. I walked to the kitchen to make it feeling a bit jittery.

'Probably because of my baby' I thought.

After I finished, I handed him the coffee and sat down. I watched as he sipped the coffee and his face turned unreadable for a second.. then turned to a delightful expression.

"This is a delicious coffee" he complemented which I blushed...again.

After he spoke there was a moment of silence.

Tick tock

"..."

Miguel unexpectedly trailed his eyes to my belly which had a noticeable bump. When he frowned, I wanted to reprimand him, that if he wants something bad to say about me being pregnant he should, but stopped when he spoke up.

"How many months are you now?" he asked.

"4 months" I answered him.

"Why were you crying?" he asked bluntly which caused me to get flustered.

'So he did see me in that state. How embarrassing!'

I fidgeted with my fingers. "Why should I tell you?" was going to be my reply, but it sounded to rude in my head. "I...quited my job" I whispered.

This pecued his interest. "Why?"

'He sure asks lots of questions!'

I sighed and turned my eyes to the side not wanting to look at his handsome face.

'Seriously I am saying handsome again!'

I told him everything that happened today especially about what the woman did, Amanda.

'I can't believe I am telling all of this to a complete stranger..I really am a foolish girl like Father said.'

He was in deep thought for a second.

"What are you going do now?" he asked.

I looked at my lap in daze and bluttered out. "I don't know, maybe find a work that will kill me and my baby which will relieve me from this-"

Before I realised it Miguel was seated next to me.

I widen my eyes shocked by what I just said."Oh, forget what I just said I was not in my-"

"I know" his eyes softened. " I can help you if you want" he whispered and took my hands. I blushed crimson, my heart beating like a drum.

Even though this guy looked like a kind and good man but..so was Leo.

I was still wary at what he really wanted. I took my hand from his grasp. "What are you going to do to help me?" I asked confused.

He gave me his usual smile. "I could help you find a suitable job after you give birth. Be there for you and give you income on this month of your pregnancy. Help you buy a home for free and-"

I cut him off getting pissed.

'He got to be kidding me!'

"Do you think I'm some kind charity work! That I'm an idiot! No way mister and let me guess you will ask me in return, to sleep with you when you probably have a wife or a girlfriend! The answer in no! I don't need your help!" I yelled and pointed at the door.

To my surprise he stayed rooted to his spot and gave a whole hearted laugh. I was flustered for a moment confused as to why he was laughing.

"W-why are you laughing?" I asked irritated.

He stood up from his seat, when he got closer to me I took a step back.

Then he showed me a serious expression. "I had a friend like you who was pregnant and all alone. No one to cry too or console her, but me. I tried to help her many times but she always refused, being too prideful and wary for my help. Do you know what happened to her?"

I shook my head not knowing where this was going.

He continued."In the end, out of frustration she ended up killing her baby by mistake and when she realised what she did..she killed herself" he stated bluntly.

'Well that story ended quickly'

'He seems to be cheerful and happy but sometimes he speaks codly, emotionless and bluntly?'

I gulped. "Is that story real?"

He stared at me for a second then smiled." Of course it is. And if you are worried that I will take advantage of you, I can buy you a stronger stun gun for you to hold everytime I come."

I was about to chuckle but held it in. " Ok buy me one. But why are you doing this for me?" I asked curious as to why he would help a stranger

"I just told you about my story. I couldn't help her but..I can help you." he whispered in his deep and husky voice.

'Is this guy really not married?'

"Wait are you even seeing someone?" I blutered out but then quickly apologied.

He chuckled. "Miguel, 21 years old not with anyone and you?" he asked and showed his hand for me to shake.

I looked at it for a while but then reluctantly shook it. His hand were smooth yet firm and strong.

"Sasha Amelia, 19 years old" I smiled in return.

Maybe this can be a start of a beautiful friendship and I really needed the help but...

I wasn't going to open my heart or fall in love with this attractive man.

But unfortunately the heart doesn't choose who it loves..
