Need my help?

The following week, Lucy began to find it boring staying in his mansion all day long without doing anything. So these days she goes out to the streets for a stroll for the time being.

His neighborhood was so lively with so much games she could play and sometimes she goes to the orphanage to play with childrens. She learnt doing that from her friend, Tory. She now wonder how her friend would be doing and if she had found a modelling Job for her. She missed doing those Jobs.

Walking down the street, enjoying the view of everyone passing by. She bumped into or was bumped into by some girls dressed in a crazy way, looking more like gangsters. They were up to six, Lucy offered a fake smile and attempted to pass by but was pushed back by one of them.

They had stern looks on their faces like they were ready to fight with her but she never knew who they was or how they got to know about her. She wasn't even a person in that area, so how on Earth did they know about her? She made sure she kept a low profile but seemed she wasn't successful.

"She isn't so beautiful as we thought she is" one of them uttered, Lucy stared at them waiting to know where all this would lead to.

"Not at all" another said as they came closer while she took steps backwards.

What were they planning to do? Beat her up? She chuckled and watched them.

"She's far from being beautiful, someone who came from the slums and her stupid annoying face disgust me. I wonder what she did to bewitch our Daniel" the one in the middle said having her nose pierced with a ring.

"Don't worry, after dealing with her, she'd find her way out of our Daniel's life"

Lucy knew they were referring to her and talking to her indirectly. She only listened and acted like they weren't even speaking.

"Hey, I don't know what your name is but after this warning I want you out of his life. He's only mine. You hear me?"

Lucy scoffed. "I don't hear you pretty one"

They all turned to themselves and laughed. "You really don't know who we are right?" The middle one who seemed to be the leader asked.

Lucy faked a scared look. "No, I don't and I don't wish to"

They turned to themselves again as if having a conversation without speaking. The leader lifted her hand to hit Lucy but she dodged it, took her hand and hit her stomach with her knee. The next came pulling Lucy's hair but she slapped her face, soon they began a fight with Lucy beating them up as they came confronting her. Suddenly, she noticed they were out of her way and then she began to run as fast as she could away from them.

Beating them up wasn't easy because they were also good and she definitely don't want to be bruised and also had some reasons not to fight back.

Running around the area, passing through corners and crossing the streets, she bumped into a man.

She looked up to see a man just as tall as Daniel but wasn't as handsome but he was good looking with his beard perfectly shaped, also with his brows with grey eyes reminding her of Eric, he left her mind Immediately he came. She turned to see the girls had caught up with her ready to hit every part of her. She was panting and was tired.

"Need my help?" He whispered in her ear, she turned to give him a stern look. 'No thanks' she replied through her gaze and turned back to the girls.

All she did was to avoid their attacks and them hit them slightly before the man took her hand and led her out of there, running.

She wasn't surprised, with her mesmerizing smiley face, he found her cute and decided to help her. Well, she appreciated that and ran with him.

He took her to a building that looked like a restaurant but wasn't.

"Thank you, I can take it from here" she uttered when she caught her breath. She turned around, going to the glass door but he took her wrist and pulled her back.

"Love your moves back there. You really are good" he demonstrated causing her to burst into laughter. He was actually cute and funnier than Daniel. Daniel only flatters her but wasn't as funny.

"See, you really are good at making people laugh" she said her part

"I guess so" he shrugged. "By the way I'm Edward"

"Lucy" she replied immediately expecting he'd introduced himself.

"I must say, you look really pretty" he gave her a genuine smile. She blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"I get that a lot. Thank you" she chuckled. "It's nice meeting, I think I should to go now" she turned around again.

"With those girls out there" he mentioned, just when she turned around. He had a point, just then a man with headphone came to him. "it's time we start Sir"

Edward looked at him over his shoulder before turning back to Lucy.

"Like I said earlier, you are so pretty, would you mind shooting with us? We need a beautiful figure like you" he offered.

Lucy felt really excited, she was thinking of that before meeting those girls. She should accept and say Yes. It wasn't a bad thing and nothing bad could happen to her. She was surprised when she opened her mouth to say Yes. What about her real job? What if they don't end up in time? Well, she has accepted and couldn't say no because she wanted to do it.

"Yes, we are ready" he told the almost short man with bang beside him. Lucy gladly followed them in, she was excited.

It was so bright when she got in, there was cameras, lenses, tripod, lightning and other equipment. She missed shooting.

"Everyone, meet our model for the day." He introduced her with his hand around her neck. She waved and with her smiley face she earned herself a sweet welcome from everyone. She walked forward. "I'm Lucy, nice to meet you all" she introduced herself again, intertwining her hands.

"So let's begin" Edward informed them all and left the job for the ones In charge.

Lucy changed clothes and took some pictures with different poses.

"1... 2...3" the camera man counted down before taking so many shots of her standing between two guys but facing one while the other pulled her by the waist.

It was evening when the shoot ended, she was exhausted and tired of taking pictures. She was given high fives from almost everyone especially the males there and eventually she greeted them good-bye before leaving with Edward.

He bought ice cream for them both as they walked down the street. She checked what the time said and gasped. Daniel would be home soon, it was her job to prepare dinner for him, so, she must hurry and leave.

She turned to Edward and stuffed all the whole ice cream in her mouth. He looked surprised.

"Isn't it so cold?" He asked.

"It is" she managed to say. He laughed and did the same.

"Uwww, so cold" he reacted.

"You really are something else" she shook her head. "Well, I have to go" she Informed him.

The smile on his face vanished. "So soon? It's still noon" he checked his wrist watch to see it was a little after Six. "I actually thought you could spend the evening with me" he uttered.

Lucy stared at him wondering how she became friends with him in no time. Somehow spending time with him made her feel alive.

"Hey!" He snapped his fingers. She smiled.

"I have to go back to work" she said.

"Work?"

"Hmph um. So I guess this is good bye" she took steps away from him.

"Wait let me drop you off" he offered. She wanted to decline but with the little time she had spent with him made her know that once he insisted, he was going back out. He was kinda stubborn. She accepted with a 'Thank you' coming out of her mouth.

She followed him back to the building and to her surprise, he was taking her through a motorcycle. She loved bike.

He handed her a helmet before climbing in. She climbed in too and held onto his belly. Every man would smile due to her touch. Soon he drove off.
