Chapter 4

Aikens was a very tall guy with broad chest and dimples. He also had a diastema which was perfectly exposed whenever he spoke or smiled. Any girl could easily fall to him with just a glance. Because of this, most girls became jealous of me because he was always around me even when I ignored him.

He asked the reason why I was quiet and I couldn't keep it to myself. I really needed someone to talk to.

"I haven't heard anything from Taylor ", I answered him .

"Don't worry goddess, maybe he's also trying to reach you", he consoled patting my shoulder and all I did was nod in response.

The school day was finally over so I headed towards my apartment to have some rest. On my way, I saw a gang of boys, they didn't look good though. They all turned to look at me when I was approaching .

I became frightened and began moving backwards. They noticed my movements and started moving towards me.

"What am I supposed to do now?' I thought to myself.

Just then , I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. My heart could no longer beat at it's normal pace and I thought that was the end of me. I turned to look at the owner of the hand , it turned out to be Aikens.

'What could he be doing here?' I thought to myself and before I could process anything, he pushed me aside and began fighting the boys. He fought them till the bad boys ran away. He had become my savior for the day.

He saw how I was consumed by fear so he carried me to my apartment. Upon reaching there, he dropped me on the sofa and he realized I was feeling cold because I was shivering. He took off his suit and covered my body to provide my body with the warmth it needed.

"Thank you for…"

"Please stay quiet before you condition worsens", he interrupted.

He stayed with me throughout the night. I woke up in the morning to find him sleeping in the chair. I pretended to be asleep when I noticed him trying to get his eyes opened. He stood up and came closer to where I was lying and kissed me good morning on my forehead before heading to the kitchen.

'What was that about? Why did he have to kiss me ?, I thought when I got up from the sofa . I walked to talk my bath after greeting him good morning in the kitchen.

"Annie, please hurry down hear, breakfast is ready", he called out when I was in the bathroom.

"I'd be there soon", I replied.

After my bath, I came out in my bathrobe which was slightly below my ass forgetting I had a guest in my house. He was startled when he saw me.

'What could he be looking at?' I thought before realizing my appearance.

I ran back to my room to get a proper dress to wear before moving out again.

"I'm sorry ", I said to him in a shy tone.

"You don't have to be, I understand you are not used to seeing guys in your home", he said as he directed me to have a seat.

"Thanks for helping me out yesterday ", I said when the room was quiet.

"No need to thank me, you know I'd always be there for you", he said giving me one of his wide irresistible smiles.

"So how did you appear at the scene yesterday because that's not the route to your house?", I couldn't help my curiosity anymore.

"I was going to see a friend who lives around"

"I see", that was what I could say before concentrating on my food.

"I must admit you really have a perfect skin", he said , I think he couldn't just keep quiet about it.

'Was he really looking at my half naked body?

"I love this ", I said pointing at the pancake in front of me making him giggle.

"You are ignoring me?", he smirked.

"When did you learn how to cook?", I wasn't ready to talk about my appearance earlier.

"No offense, I just couldn't stop my eyes from admiring you",

"Okay thanks", I finally gave in.
