Lola Valderrama

I opened my eyes and then I roamed it around.
I immediately rose up when I saw that I laid down on the sofa. As I was seated, I tried to roam around my eyes again and I don’t know where I am now.
I tried to stand up but I couldn't straighten my feet because I felt an ache in my left leg. Suddenly, I tried to look at it and I saw it had a bandage. I just sat down first to ease the pain from it.
I suddenly remembered what happened to me last night. There are three men chasing me which makes me run. Until I stumbled and fell to the floor. I don't know what happened next and as suddenly, I lost consciousness afterward.
"You're awake." I turned to that person who spoke and I saw a man enter, coming from the door then he closed it.
For a moment, I felt nervous and tried to embrace my body covering and protecting myself as it was all still fresh in my mind about what happened last night.
"W-who are you? W-where am I?" I almost stammered when I asked him because of my aghast. He didn't answer my question as he was getting busy preparing his breakfast.
Until he was done with what he was doing and he invited me to breakfast.
"Take this food.." he said with a blank expression. Then he continued eating.
I just looked at him for a moment as well as the food he was eating. Until my feet took me to his place because I also felt hungry.
I don’t know why I have the guts now to come near to his place and take the food that he was giving to me even though I was afraid earlier and thought that he might have done wrong to me. Ugh!
I looked at him first, ensuring if I could take a seat, but he just looked at me for a second so I just thought of sitting down because it looks like he doesn't want to talk and give me a chair for me to sit on.
Yeah, what should I expect besides we’re strangers and I am not a VIP person? Ugh!
Before I ate, I asked him again straightforwardly. "Who are you? Why am I here in this place? D-do you, uhhm.." I felt suddenly shy to continue my last sentence as I lowered my head and tried to cover myself as I embraced it.
I feel he was not saying nor doing anything for a moment. So, I tried to head up just to see if he was there or I was just numb that he said something and I just didn’t hear.
I noticed he stopped chewing the bread as he looked at me.
And again, for a moment, I remember something from last night when I look at his face. It was really familiar as I know he was that man that I saw last night. But on the other side, I am not pretty sure as I can't see his entire face.
But it looks like he really is.
"You’re in my house and don’t assume that I’ve touched you.” and he looked away from me. He resumed chewing the bread while drinking coffee.
I was right. That's why I'm here at his house now. And I know he was that man last night who helped me.
I just bowed my head slightly and then I picked up the bread and slowly chewed it.
I suddenly remembered my parents. Maybe they're so worried about me.
Speaking of-I should contact them now! Even Laurene! I know she’s looking for me!
"Can you explain to me why you are chasing that three stupid men last night?" I caught a glimpse of him when he asked me that question.
I sighed first as I stopped chewing my food. "I-i was just seeking help because my car suddenly ran out of gas. Then that happens.." I stated. I saw him shake his head and I just bowed my head again and at the same time, I chewed the bread.
I don’t know why I am talking with this strange man like we’re almost close to each other as I am also comfortable with him.
And speaking of him-it was actually flashbacking to me about what happened to me and Kade but this time it was something different-what I mean, I feel I don’t have to worry because besides helping me, I know he is a kind person.
Throwing those thoughts, I just put my attention to the bread that I’m holding now-it was my first time eating this kind of cheap bread. But I could say that it was tasty and I know this bread probably doesn't have any poison.
Yes, I must be sure of that. And I think he will not poison me.
Suddenly something popped up in my head that made me ask him.
"A-and you? What are you doing in that place that night?" it suddenly came to my mind how he got to that place to think that it was a bit dim on that place and there’s no almost people passing there.
"I just passed by.." he said frugally.
Suddenly, I found myself looking at him now. I noticed he was a good-looking guy. He has blue eyes that someone could possibly attract to it. It was entrancing-the sexual attraction of his posture and physique in fact. And it made me mesmerized by him for a while.
"Are you done staring at me?" I blinked my eyes after he said that. I felt embarrassed so I just lowered my head again.
What the heck! What am I doing! It’s very embarrassing!
"S-sorry.." I apologize and I fix myself. I actually wanted to get out here because of embarrassment. Ugh! But I just heard him chuckle.
I know, I'm sure I was now reddening because of shame.
"Anyway, I know your parents might be looking at you. You should go home." when he said that, he kept away those plates, glass, and some stuff on top of the table.
Speaking of my parents, I excused myself when I stood up from my seat and went back to the sofa to see if my bag was there.
Damn it!
I just got hit in the forehead when I remembered that I had left it in my car. And speaking of this, I don’t know where my car is now.
Damn this life!
Suddenly that strange man entered my mind and I think that maybe his phone so I can call my parents.
Ugh! I know they are really worried about me. For a moment, I just leaned my back on the sofa.
