" Are you alright ? " he asked me sternly ,but I detected something else .
Worry .
" I-I think so ." I muttered as he extended a hand to me , to help me up .
I took his hand and he easily pulled me up , looking into my eyes for a moment , searching them . I looked down at the ground and he chuckled quietly to himself .
" Are you sure you're alright ? " he asked one more time , handing me my stuff back , including my wallett .
I nodded .
" Just a little shaken up ."I looked over at the passed out man that had tried to rob me and shuddered . The guy noticed and looked as if he could beat the man even more then he already did .
" Should we call the cops ? " I asked , worried .He shook his head .
" Nope . I already called them a moment ago while you were trying to gather your belongings . " he said.For some reason , I believed him .
" Would you like me to walk you home . I don't know if it's a good idea for you to walk the rest of the way alone . " he more like said instead of offered .
I didn't want to inconvience him , but I was also very curious .
" That would be really nice of you . " I said , looking down .
He nodded as we started to walk toward my house with me leading the way and the guy , staying closely and protectively by my side .After a moment of silence,we bother looked at eachother .
" I didn't catch your name . " he said .
" Kathleen . Kathleen Swan . And you are ? " I asked him .
He ran a hand through his light hair and managed a small smile .
" Alek Aristov . " he said , with a hint of a British accent , but that certainly didn't fit his name .
I shrugged .
" Thank you for saving me. " I said .
He nodded.
" It was my pleasure to be able to help out a beautiful woman . " he said .I laughed and shook my head . We got to the door of my colonial style house and I was suddenly faced with the gut-wrentching feeling that I was alone . My mom was still working and she would be working late . My dad was out of town . It was just me . As if he senses my uneasiness , Alek took a step towards me , so that he as inches away from my face .
" If you want , I can stay with you until someone you feel safe with comes . " he said , offering .
I nodded and then he gently brushed his lips against mine suddenly . It was different then kissing anyone else . I barely felt his lips brush over mine and it only lasted a second , but we stood like that for I don't know how long .
" I could make you something warm to drink . It's pretty chilly here . " I finally said .
He gave me a small smile .
" I'd like that . "I nodded , clearing my throat as we walked inside . Hanging our coats in the coat closet , I walked into the kitchen and started to make some hot tea .
" Uh , is tea alright with you ? " I asked him , not looking over my shoulder at him .
" Tea would be wonderful, thank you . " he said ,politely .
I really was honestly very curious about him, but I also didn't want to ask him a ton of questions . I didn't know him , but it felt like'd known him my whole life . After I was done with our tea , my hand was still trembling from everything that had happened . Alek noticed and walked over , gently putting his hand on mine .
" I can carry it over to the table . " he said, looking down at our hands .I looked down at them as well and slid my hand out from underneath of his , nodding . He grabbed our tea gracefuly and walked over , setting them down on the table , pulling my chair out for me . We sat down across from eachother and I didn't look up from my tea for awhile .
" Are you ok---- " I cut him off , but putting my hand up to stop him .
" Please don't ask me if I'm okay . Because .... for the first time , I might not lie and say that I'm fine . " I said , shaking my head , looking down .I didn't know why, but I wanted to be honest with him . About everything . He was a stranger ! What was wrong with me ! Danny would freak out . But yet ... it's like he WASN'T a stranger . He reminded me of someone . Jacob . But he was different too .
" Do you want to talk about it ? " he asked looking up at me with genuine concern .
" Why do I feel like .... " I trailed off .
He cocked an eyebrow .
" Feel like what ? " he asked , obviously wanting me to countinue.
" Like I know you . Like I've known you all my life . Oh my God . I'm finally crazy . I've finally lost my mind . " I said , embarressed as I put my head in my hands ." You're not crazy . " Alek said and for some reason I looked up .
He looked back down and cleared his throat .
" Guess I just have one of those vibes . Is there someone you can call ? "he asked .I shook my head. Danica was with her dad tonight .
" I'll be fine . Thank you . " I said .He nodded and got up , grabbing his jacket from the closet . I walked him to the front door and we both stood in silence for a moment.
" Do you mind if .... " he trailed off .
" What ? " I asked.
" Can I see you again ? " he suddenly asked and I knew from the look on his face that he regretted being so blunt .
" Sure. I'd ... like that . " I said , biting my lip .
He nodded with a small smile and walked out the door without another word . I walked back upstairs to my room and laid back on my bed , looking up at the ceiling with a small smile .
" Alek ..... " I said with a smile .I didn't bother looking at my phone full of missed calls from none other then Mr.Jacob Black .
---- Got ALOT of drama on the way .-----
