Broken Wings

Chapter 5

I gave him my address the minute I sat and he put it on his gps .
The car felt so warm , I felt safe but shy . I can see him looking at me from the corner of my eye without saying anything. There was a silence for few minutes that I did not know how to break it but he did .

" Why did you order an Uber, don't you have a car ? " he asked and kept looking at me and I was instead looking at the road , I mean one of us should .

" I do have one, but a truck was blocking my car this morning , so I couldn't get it out from the garage. "

He moved his eyes away , thanks God , did not say any word . The music was really good , it was a compilation of piano songs and I do love piano music.

" Was that the reason you were late to class this morning ?" His voice has lowered.

" Yes ". I replied shortly.

I glanced at him and then quickly looked outside , I cannot believe how someone can look that handsome while driving, he was wearing a navy coat , his hair was a bit messy because of the rain and the smell of his cologne was all over the car.

The streets were empty , I couldn't see well because rain was getting heavier. But it looked like everyone has found a safe place to stay in , their home maybe , their office and we're still in the car , i was feeling safe and warm however.

" Look I am really sorry for what happened , God damn it , why didn't you tell me that while I was yelling at you ?

" You didn't even give me a chance to explain , you fired me the second I stepped in the class ".

I felt as if something was stuck in my throats , didn't want to talk about it anymore , a tear was fighting to get out of my eye and i was trying my best to keep it inside but she won . I turned my face immediately so he won't see it .

The car has stopped but we're not there yet I did not want to look at him , seeing me crying for the second time today isn't something I like people to do usually.
Suddenly i felt a warm hand on my cheek , a soft finger is wiping my tears away . That tightness in my chest is back , my heart is beating super fast . I am trying hard not to look at him right now.

" I am really sorry for what I did ".I swear his voice was choking , " Please, look at me " , he added trying gently to turn my face towards him .
Noo I don't wanna look at him , I am very emotional at this moment , his touches are like electric shocks to my body . He looked straight in my eyes , I can honestly write a whole book about his eyes only, I swear you can see a sunflower inside each eye .
My whole body is shivering as if it wasn't prepared for this touch .

" You have the most innocent eyes that I've ever seen and they're making me feel more and more guilty " he means every word he's saying .

His face is like an open book you can easily know what's on his mind . His breath smelled like mint , his hand was still on my face which made me very uncomfortable , my body was becoming weak .
I should leave the car before I do something that I will regret . I should let my brain win this time .

" Thank you for the ride , I am almost home. " I said opening the car's door and leaving in less than a second .

It was still raining maybe much more than before but I didn't care , rain was nothing compared to what could've had happened inside the car. I never felt that weak in front of a guy in my whole life , I always make sure not to lose control in everything I do and I always win but this time was the hardest.

I was finally home , I changed my mind , I think there's nothing like home . A hot shower was a perfect plan , I put my pajamas on , prepared a hot cup of coffee and sat on my favorite chair. I needed to sit with myself , understand what has happened to me minutes ago , think about the person that hurt me then relieved me in less than an hour .
