A Hand for Help

A gray Bugatti Chiron stopped in front of Thea as she keeps on clenching her fist hidden inside the pockets of her sweater to keep herself warm. At this time she no longer now if she's shaking out of the cold being that its already midnight and is raining hard or the fear and her curiosity of who must be in that car. Thea starred at the black tinted passenger's window of the car as she waited for it to go down but nothing happened. She flinched when Thea heard the driver's door opened and saw a man standing up looking towards her.

"S-Sir Simon?"Thea whispered and immediately bow down a little to show respect to her boss. Seeing Simon again after that incident back in the cafe, as sudden rush of guilt and frustration went through her. Her sweater is drenched,all of her drenched and her head is still giving her a slight pain together with the cold she's feeling.

Simon still in his over-sized shirt and black pants, peak over the head of his car letting himself slowly getting wet in the rain. Showing his genuine smile to Thea, he waved his hand to her.

"Thea get in! Your'e all drenched I know your'e not feeling well." Simon started keeping his smile to her not minding about his shirt and hair getting wet from the rain.

"Sir Simon?...I can manage the bus stop is only a few minutes walk."Thea replied politely keeping on wondering why would Simon show in this kind of situation.

Simon sighed and pouted while leaning his both elbows on the head of the Bugatti not taking his eyes away to girl. " I can't bare seeing my staff suffer like that, and I hate it when you always say that you can manage when you really are not. Hmp!"

Thea's eyes widened and her jaws dropped seeing Simon acting like a child not getting something he wants. Found herself wondering if Simon really is a twenty-six year old guy or five year old child while awkwardly starring to him all pouting.

" Ah!..Se-Seriously I-I can really manage__"

"Nope! Nope! A big no! Your'e getting in the car and I'll drive you home." Simon smile to her only receiving an awkward smile back from Thea. "And Thea look! Im getting wet from the rain here,come quick!"

'Seems like I have no other choice.' Thea thought as she squeezed some parts of her sweater that is really drenched in rain water.

On the other hand,while waiting for Thea to get in the car, he leaned his head on the driving wheel all blushed and feeling his face so hot. ' Oh god! where the heck did I get those confidence talking to her like that? I just hope she's already feeling well by that.'

Thea opened the door of the passenger's seat of Simon's car and smiled shyly. " Uhm sir? Is it really okay for me to get in? Im afraid your car well get wet, Im so drenched."

'Oh,I didnt thought about that earlier.' as he looked at Thea wide eyed.

Simon immediately grabbed his bag to get his extra t-shirt out and lend it to her. "Here I-...Uhm...I haven't used it,so maybe you can change for now, Uhm...I'm getting out of the car for awhile while you change."

Simon said as he placed his extra shirt on the passenger seat and without any word he went out of his car even if its raining. Thea eyes can only went wide constantly seeing her boss acting like child and have no other thing to do but to take advantage with the chance Simon is giving to her to change clothes.

As soon as Simon went back inside the car with Thea already sitting on the passenger's seat, Simon could only do nothing side from driving but to blush. 'Oh god,she's wearing my shirt!'

The whole drive was silent, only the sound of the engine is heard and the air is filled with awkwardness. Thea whose being silent the whole started drifting to slumber as she feel her eyelids getting heavy. Her breaths were short feeling her body so hot from which she is thinking a fever from all the stress and getting drenched at the rain.

But her gasp broke the silent when Simon turned to a different direction clearly opposite to the way where her place is headed. Her head instantly turned to Simon who is just busy driving; all eyes on the road. And her curiosity went wide when they stopped at the convenience store,just when she is about to get off the car, Thea flinched when she saw on Simon turning his head on her with an intent look.

"Uh,...Uhm... Just_Just stay here okay? Im just getting something from the store. " Simon said obviously blushing as he hurriedly went off the car and run inside the convenience store.

Thea was left blown off, with her not knowing to just run or to stay here. She cant deny that she's over thinking right now, knowing that she's with a guys; inside his car and even going to places she didnt expect. If Simon isnt Sara's brother,she would run and think of it a form of kidnapping or any illegal deeds,but if she do this, Simon might feel disrespected and even worse fired her from her job.

'O-okay-Th-Thea, Ju-just -th-think of something else. Maybe Simon -is just..-is just being kind to me right?' she thought feeling her hands trembling together with her cold sweat out of nervousness.

"That's it I'm going!" she whispered grabbing her things placed on her thighs and immediately jumped off the Bugatti Chiron.

"Amithea!" she froze when she heard a guy shouted her name,as if on cue Thea immediately run away from the car, starting to cry out of nervousness thinking that there's some guy after her or even worse that guy maybe Clark. That's the worst case scenario she has in her mind while running like her life depends on it.

Thea was stopped when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her to face the person.

"Amithea!Where are you going?!"Simon immediately asked wrinkled eyebrows,rain dripping from his hair. Simon is all serious,he was far from his version of being all shy in front of Thea ,when he saw her running away.
