Opening Up With The Stranger

"So.... Tell me how you ended up on my doorstep exactly."

The woman looked down at her hands that were placed on her tightly closed legs.

"Well, I was coming home from work when a deer jumped out in front of me. I tried avoiding it but I ended up crashing into the woods."

"Oh my, did your vehicle make it?"

"No... I was walking for what felt like forever till I came across your house. I'm sorry if my company is unwanted here. I would call my sister to pick me up but my phone got destroyed too..."

"Oh honey that's very unfortunate and I quite enjoy your company." The man said while placing his hand on top of hers.

The woman felt her heart accelerate due to the fact his grip was fairly tight and the fact he didn't seem to understand common boundaries. However she didn't want to come off rude to the person who took her in for the night.

She couldn't help but release a nervous laugh toward his behavior and comment. "Thank you sir. I.."

Suddenly she was stopped by her words when her stomach growled loudly.

"My, my your hungry. No wonder you were so eager to go to the kitchen."

The woman was embarrassed as she covered her stomach.

"I'm sorry sir.. I had a long day at work, I hardly ate today."

"Well that only means you will get more on your plate." He said while getting up.

"Sir?"

"Why don't you stay in here while I check on the food."

"Oh.. Thank you sir."

He took a step. "Oh and another thing... Please don't look through my things. I like my privacy."

"Oh I wasn't planning on looking through your stuff, I promise."

"Good girl. I'll be back with your plate."
