he seemed genuinely sorry for his misdemeanor and I believed him. “I was just curious,” he added.
“He is coming to pick me up because he is afraid that I could get lost in this city. I moved here not long time ago,” I explained, proving that his apology was accepted . “This is totally a new place for me.”
“And I managed to scare you,” he said half laughing, half sad.
I didn't say a word to that. I could see he was feeling miserable for stalking me. And lucky for him, I wasn't a person, who would like to torment others... at least I wouldn't get any kind of pleasure telling him how freaked out I was. Plus, he was the first person who I had met in this city and I needed friends, and not the enemies.
“Everything is fine,” I put a small smile on my face.
“Really?” he doubted.
I nodded.
Before he could say something else, Christopher appeared next to me, locking his grip around my hand. I gasped. He appeared from nowhere. And that look on his face seemed like he was seeing danger only few steps away.
“Vanessa,” he said carefully in low tone. At first his eyes studied me and then slowly turned to face Tobias, who also had interesting expression on his face. Something similar to a boy's who didn't want to give up his toys in easy way; he will fight.
“This is Tobias. We have just met. Tobias, this is Christopher,” I introduced them both to each other.
“Nice to meet you,” Christopher snapped and glued his eyes at me. “Are you ready? Avery wants to see you at home.”
For some reason I doubted that she actually wanted to see me at home. There would be more precise to say she wanted to see me next to my computer.
Dammit, I always wanted to have stimulation to write, but not like this, I said in my mind. They both wanted to see me always writing, always in other world.
“Okay,” I said without any fight. I suspected that Christopher's words one way or another will be the last and it would be pointless even to try to change his mind. At least I had realized that feature of him: everyone had to obey to him.
“Good girl,” he whispered and loosen his grip a bit.
I stood up and took my purse. Tobias also stood up. He quickly threw out a paper and a pen, on which he wrote his number.
“It was a pleasure to meet you Vanessa and... Christopher. Here,” he gave me that paper.” It's my number. Call me,” he smiled and walked away reluctantly. I watched him.
“Are you okay?” Christopher turned me to meet his eyes. I nodded. “Are you sure?”
“He just managed to scare me a bit. He stalked me from the U-bahn stop,” I confessed although I didn't know why.
Christopher frowned and took with his free hand the paper from my hand. He looked at the number, before he dropped it on the table and pushed me to walk forward. I didn't resist. I walked obediently with Christopher away from the ice-cream coffee, leaving Tobias's phone number on the table. I knew that I should stop my protector and take that paper, but maybe it would be only for the best if I pretend that I had never met that guy. After all, if it was destined for us to be friends, we would meet again.
Chapter seven
Christopher opened the car door and I took a seat in the car. Without asking or ordering me, he took care with my seat-belt. At that moment I felt like a small child. But in the good way. Christopher really cared about my safety and that made me feel cherished. That was one of those feelings which were in the list I WANT TO FEEL THAT.
I gave him a smile. He gave me one back and took the driver's seat. Th e car's engine roared and we sh ot forward.
“Am I in trouble?” I asked the most important question after some minutes.
“Would you want to be in trouble?” he said in composure.
The Question to the question. And that tone...
Great, I said in my mind. I am in a serious trouble.
“How many days will I be punished?”
“You want to take the bull by the horns,” he said astonished. “Okay, we can do
