Chapter 3

What the hell did I just do, he must be thinking of me as either a wacko or sicko. Jeez! This is all that bitch Maria’s fault if she haven’t said anything to me I wouldn’t have said that, I wouldn’t have kissed him or done anything. Now I have to start explaining what just happened.

I look at him, and as our eyes met I instantly lowered my gaze. I can’t keep doing this, sooner or later I have to talk to him, I have to say something, but what? How will I explain to him that Maria is a fucking bitch and she made me do that?

I smiled scarcely at him as I walked towards the hallway "Don’t you wanna go to the bathroom?" I asked

He nodded "Yeah, yeah. I do. Which way is it?"

"Down the hallway, by the left," I responded

"Okay." With that, he walked out of the room.

At least now I have time to think. Holy bananas what do I do? What will I tell him and how am I gonna tell him? Seriously this is the stupidest thing I’ve done so far, great job Tara you just broke the record for stupidity.

As I began pacing around when I glimpsed at the door, I instantly walked in its direction and peeked through the door hole, bloody bitch Maria was still standing there. Doesn’t she know that tomorrow is a working day? I know she just wants to prove that she’s right about me, but never, I will never let her make my life miserable. Not this time, Kyle is with her now but that doesn’t mean I’m alone. I’m never alone.

My life is complicated, with a call I could get anything I wanted and with that same call, everything would be over.

My attention diverted when I heard his footsteps, holy bananas, it’s time I confront him and if I don’t convince him to stay overnight, that bitch will eventually find out that I was lying to her.

"Thanks for letting me use your bathroom." He said; his voice so profound but calming.

"Anytime," I smiled still wondering what to say.

There was silence in the room for almost a minute before he glanced at his watch "I think I will be on my way." He said

On your what! No, no, I can’t let him leave now, if he does I’m fucking doomed. Think Tara, think, what can make him stop. As he walked towards the door, I heard sirens sound blaring from outside, the sound was too loud, and I can tell that the sound isn’t coming from a single police car. Before I could think of something, he stopped, turning around to look at me "Was that a police siren sound?" He asked

"I guess so. It did sound like a siren sound." I responded

"That’s a siren sound." He furrowed his eyebrow in concentration.

"Yeah, I bet they’re after a criminal," I responded. Wait a minute, I have an idea

"Are you leaving now?" I asked

"Actually I_" He paused looking around the room

"You can stay at my place for a while, I mean with the sounds of sirens I don’t think it’s safe for you to be out there." I awkwardly said.

Jeez! This is going to be a long night, or is it midnight? Why can’t I think straight?

"Can I please charge my phone?" He asked

Did he just ignore my question, how rude?

"Yeah sure, you can."

"Thanks, by the way, I think you’re right. I will stay for a while." He said

Relived! One work done, another awaits "Okay" I smiled

Once he plugged in his phone, he turned back and looked at me, I knew it was time for me to explain what I said earlier. I let out a breath "I know, I know you’re thinking of what I did and said earlier but please you have to understand that bitch always gets on my nerves and the only way to shush her mouth is to tell her that I have something she never saw coming. But it’s fine I totally understand if you hate that idea, actually it’s a stupid idea, I don’t know what came into me. To be honest with you I don’t even clearly remember what I said and did back there so please don’t think of me as a weird person or anything like that." I blared as I let out a breath.

He gaze at me looking extremely confused I bet I spoke too fast that he didn’t hear a word. "Can I get a_" He paused when he heard a knock on the door.

I rolled my eyes, it’s almost morning what the fuck does this bitch wants. "It’s probably that bitch Maria" I groaned.

"Don’t open the door!" He said in a profound tone; sounding like he was instructing me. His eyebrow furrowed in concentration and his gaze never left the door

"I won’t, I know it’s Maria, she just can’t have a good sleep without irritating me," I said

He was still concentrated on the door, eyebrow furrowed, lips chapped and eyes fixed on the door. As the knock came to an end, he turned to look at me.

"What were you saying again?" He asked

Is hiding from someone?

"Who are you?" I instantly asked

His concentration and looks gave me a weird kind of feeling.

"I’m an FBI officer, investigation branch." He said while pulling out an ID card as he held it up, he handed it over to me, and I looked down at it.

"Ohh! An FBI officer. I’m sorry about that, I thought you are some kind of criminal"

"It’s okay, I get that a lot." He said looking down at his shoes "I can please get a glass of water?" He asked

I nodded "Sure."

Once I entered the kitchen, I grabbed a bottle of water and poured it into a glass. I let out a short yawn while walking out of the kitchen "Here you go." I handed it over to him.

"Thank" He gulped in the water before turning back at me "I hope you don’t mind me cozying on your couch?"

"Oh, no, not at all." I smiled

I am very glad about the fact that he is staying here. Oh, I know Maria must be fucking annoyed right now.

"I will be in my room if you need anything please don’t hesitate to let me know" I smiled

He nodded as he rake a hand through his hair.

Once I entered the room, I closed the door from behind. Falling on the bed, I closed my eyes. What a night it is, a few hours ago I lay that this exact position with Kyle, as much as hate to admit it but Kyle was one of the best people in my life.

I sigh….

Maybe running away from my identity isn’t exactly the best for me, but at least it’s safer for me.
