A Girl From the Past

Chapter 1

In her closed eyed state, she was sure she hit a tree that the little drops were blocked by leaves above. That explained the lack of water attacking her face.

Savannah just smiled bitterly. She enjoyed rain, but she was also tired. A little sleep wouldn't hurt, right?

Just then, suddenly...

Slap!

Savannah's eyes gasped open only to met the eyes of a curious child. A little boy holding an umbrella.

In her blurry eyesight, she could almost saw a quite tall man behind the little kid, scolding his behavior. Great! Savannah thought sarcastically. A slap to be added to the list of already bad day.

She faintly heard the tall man asked if she was alright. She numbly nodded before closing her eyes again.

Savannah felt her body being lifted to the air. A moment later, she was placed in a leathered area, seemingly the seat of a car.

A realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Her eyes snapped open as they widened.

"W-whaat?" She uttered through chattering  teeth. Her hands rubbing her eyes.

The man's gaze turned towards her and in the matter of seconds she felt two chubby hands holding her cheeks.

"Oh, she is awake!" The voice said excitedly. She heard some scoldings before the hands in her cheeks were gone. A warm tea was shoved into her lap.

"Are you alright, Miss?" The man asked her carefully. His dark eyes scrutinizing her entire figure.

"W-where a-am I?" She shakily asked, looking around.

"I found you almost unconsious in the middle of a street." He told her. And that did sound so embarassing. She looked away to hide her embarassed face.

"O-oh." Came her short reply. She inhaled the warm air before the figure of a smiling, excited little boy entered her sight.

"If you don't mind, may I ask where do you live? I suppose you are not in a condition to walk on your own, much less under the rain." He asked while explaining his cause. That made her realized just how formal he sounded. To add to that, he was also wearing a black suit that screaming how wealthy looking he was.

Right at the moment, Savannah decided that maybe it was safe to give away her adress to a stranger. She understood she wasn't in a condition to walk, or even fight a robber. If anything were to happen, she would just kick him where the sun doesn't shine. Yeah, that would definitely worked.

Savannah slowly sipped on her given warm drink after she thanked the man. He just gave her a small formal nod, then went back focusing on the road.

From where she gave up walking to her house, she admit that her house was rather near. Only three to four hundreds meter and she would be arriving at home. That was why they only need a few minutes to arrive at her front door.

She forced a smile to her numb face and opened the car's door before an umbrella was shoved into her hands. Savannah frowned and argued that she didn't know how to return it back.

Her house had quite large lawn, but she didn't mind getting in the rain again as her body had regained some energy back.

"You can take it, or if you insist to return it back to me, I would give you my phone number." Savannah just nodded, sure the man was so persistent to get things his way. Nevertheless she was so thankful that he was such a gentleman. He began scribbling down his number in a small paper, then handed it to her, which she accepted with a thankful smile.

She thanked the man once again and was about to walk, before a voice made her stop in place. The little boy's excited voice from the backseat. "Pretty Lady! You forget to pay for the taxi money."

Savannah's mind went blank for a moment.

This man was a taxi driver who took advantage of unconsious people lying in the rain? Savannah scrunched her face. That just sounded wrong! Maybe helping people was more of the right terms.

She knew she should be grateful of that, or she could've been dead somewhere, but also couldn't deny the annoyance gnawing at her feeling. She took a glance at the car's top and true, there was a taxi sign being put there.

She sighed and rummaged her purse for some money before handed it to the little boy.

"What are you doing?" A voice made her jump in surprise.

The man frowned and gave the little boy a disapproving look. He began apologizing for his behaviour, sending Savannah a sorry look. He explained that they were no taxi driver and that the little boy was only kidding.

The little prankster smiled cheekily the whole time while giggling. When Savannah finally looked at him, he hold up a peace sign and gave her a cute smile. The sight of the five year old boy with blonde curls smiling at her was truly adorable.

Savannah just sighed and gave him a genuine smile back. She somehow wanted to pat the boy's head but refrained from doing so as she was very cold and wet. She didn't want him to feel the coldness.

Savannah's gaze finally was back to the older man, now noticing how attractive he actually looked. His prominent jaw amd chiseled face compliment his seemingly strict figure. Dark intimidating eyes and soft blonde hair looked quite an odd combination, but it still didn't managed to hinder how a perfect being he was.

Then, Savannah realized something. She smiled, "I am very thankful that you kindly had helped me, Sir. I hope that I can repay your kindness one day. If you don't mind, may I know your name?"

His face didn't give away much emotion. That made Savannah thought that maybe he didn't want to tell his name. Savannah juat sighed mentally and was about to excuse herself when he finally uttered the name that sent her in a frozen state once again.

"Lucas Hernandez," he said as his dark eyes completely focused on her.

The next update will be next month haha 😂
