"Sir, it's not necessary. Thank you very much."

"Do you want what happened earlier will happen to you again? All right, I'll go now—"

"Wait ..." I immediately grabbed his hand when it was time to turn around. He was looking at my face and I felt very embarrassed when he looked down at my hand. It was only then that I realized, I was holding his hand, I immediately let go and backed away slightly. "I'm sorry, uhm it's embarrassing but can I accept your offer?" I asked shyly.

I heard him say 'tss' . I bit my lower lip hoping that he would say yes. After all, he offered first. "Hurry up..."

I smiled broadly as I got into his car, "Uh-uhm just go straight in the road," I said shyly. He also did not speak and started driving.

My house is still far from here. I thought there was a bus passing by earlier. I forgot that on Friday night, no buses are stopping. I sighed weakly and slyly looked at him. I could clearly see how his hand was rooted as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, he bit his lower lip, which made me shocked because what I say right now is totally gorgeous. He was wearing a polo shirt, his body was muscular.

"Are you done?" I almost jumped in my seat when he spoke, I looked at it in surprise. "Are you done craving me?" My eyes almost widened in shock at what he said.

Craving? The what? Hell no! "You're mistaken, uhm I just wanted to speak in case uh I don't know how to start ..." I averted my eyes, why does it seem like it's taking so long for us to arrive? We haven't passed yet.

"Ahh, how did you see me before?" I asked he didn't turn to me. Arrogant.

"I just passed by and I saw stupid girl," he says as if it doesn't hurt, thank you he saved me.

"Ohh ohh ... I'm already here." He stopped the car on the side, when I looked at him it winced as he looked down the road.

"There is no house, where is your house?"

"It's still inside, but your car won't fit. The road is narrow. Thank you very much—"

"Where should I park my car?" Huh?

"Huh?" I wonder, will he stop? There is nothing to buy here because the shops are still inside and with someone like him, he will not enter the squatter area.

"Where can I park my car? I'll take you there."

I shook again, I can't. "I'll take care of it and then it's safe here with us ..."

"I insist," he said and I was surprised it came out first so I immediately went down to stop him.

"Sir, I'm really fine. It's crowded here." I shouted at him, he just kept walking as if he knew where to go. 

I just let him and I go first, we entered the small road. I noticed he was not following, so I turned and offered out my hand to him. "Just hold on, there's a canal on our way and it's a bit dark so you might fall."

He was still not moving, he was just looking at my hand. I heaved a sigh and approached him for myself to hold. "I told you, it's crowded here."

When we got out of the crowded road, I looked at him with this sweat on my face. Seriously, sweaty right away. "Come in first, my house is small."

I went into my small apartment first. "Are you alone?" I heard him ask.

"Yes ..."

When we entered, I first sat him in my small chair, the size of a man. He looked like a giant sitting in a small palace. "Just get me something to drink." I left for the kitchen.

I picked up my cell phone and texted someone.

'There's a car outside, you know what to do.' I sent the message and took the glass of water.

I looked at him first. He looked around the house. "Water please." I handed it to him.

"Thanks ... I'm leaving too, be careful next time and I might not be able to catch those bastards next time, maybe you'll die in that time." He was about to stand up when I stopped him.

"Maybe you want to eat?" I asked, he frowned.

"You served the food for me in the restaurant a while ago, Ms. Stupid."

How dare he say I am stupid? "I'll take you outside," I said with a smile, and he shook his head.

"I'll take care of it, I already know the way." I let it out. But I was surprised when it came back. "What's your name?" I smiled in my mind when he asked that question.

I am Lucille Damian, sir.Lucille....Lucille Santos." He nodded and he went out finally.

I looked at my cellphone when it vibrated, I received a text from them saying 'Done!' I smiled at the back of my mind and counted from one...

Two, three, four, five until fifteen and ... "Lucille."

"Sir Judiel. Why?" I quickly approached him.

"My car." I looked at him in surprise, "I think someone broke my car."

"How did it happen? Please come in first." He also entered immediately.

"Someone broke my car, I can't drive. The tire is broken."

"Ohh .. there's no taxi here yet, maybe you've been trapped with the people here."

"Who?" he asked.

"Because when they see a car parked outside, they'll really make a deal. I'm really sorry ..."

"What should I do? I have a meeting tomorrow morning."

"Uhm, we'll just fix the case tonight."

"And where will I sleep?" Oh, of course, he will sleep here. There are no hotels in here.

I looked all over my house, "Don't tell me, you let me sleep in this house? God! I can't." He is overacting. My house is cool!

"Sir, it's only now and when your car is fixed, you can go home right away. My house is small but it's clean, you can just sleep in my bed."

I couldn’t help but laugh in my mind as he gaped while listening to me.

"I'll just call the person to fix it tomorrow. I'll fix your place to sleep."

"What time is it?" he asked.

"It's ten o'clock." He heaved a sigh and looked to have given up. "Okay, fine. This is ridiculous." I heard him whisper the last line.

I immediately went to my room and fixed it. I smiled widely.

Looks like maybe I can get his heart…
