"Get in the car" he says in a husky voice as he opens the door. I quickly turn away from him and climb in the car. I need to put some space between us. What the hell just happen? One minute I want to kill him and the next I am all weak in my knees staring at him like some kind of love sick puppy. I concentrate on my breathing I need to get back to normal where I can't stand Gabe. He gets in the car and I stare out the window to avoid looking at him. "There was no need for you to carry me I am not a little girl" I finally spoke. "You could of fooled me by the way you was acting and why would you even walk alone at this time?" he says. "Well I don't have a car so I have to take the bus" I say in a matter of fact voice. He taps his finger on top of the steering wheel trying to keep his calm "You should be more careful especially after what happen today by the way have you ever seen that guy before?". All I want to do is forget what happen today but I guess that's not going to happen. "No I have no idea who he was" he stares at me "Are you sure?".
"Positive" I start to play with my chain. "You know if you are in some kind of trouble you can tell me" he says. "I'm fine" I answer. What makes him think I will trust him I barley like him as it is. I see him staring at me from the corner of my eyes. The truth is that no one can help me and I know that. "I'm surprise your boyfriend didn't come to your rescue" he calmly says. "You know damn well he isn't my boyfriend" I roll my eyes at him. "That's right he is your booty call" he corrects himself. Here we go with this bull shit again. "Yeah a great booty call actually" I cross my arms around my chest and stare at him. Is that what he wanted to hear? That's the kind of girl he thinks I am. "Really?" he arch his eyebrow. "Yes really" I nod my head. "Well you must be some kind of sex goddess or something" he chuckles. I don't understand his comment. "Why?" I drop my arms. "To get a I quote 'over the scale gay guy' unquote to have sex with you then you must be pretty amazing" he laughs. My cheeks start to burn I look down to my hands. I totally forgot that Sophia told him the truth about Liam. "I got to say you had me going there" he confess. "Well that's what you get for always jumping to conclusions when it comes down to me" I arch my eyebrow at him. "You're right I am sorry" he admits. I look at him in shock did he just admit to something and then apologize to me? "I have to admit," he continues "Liam has good taste in man". There goes the Gabriel I know. I can't believe Sophia even told him that part. "That is still up for questioning" I say and I hear him chuckle. He parks the car in front of my building. "Thank you for giving me a ride even if I didn't want one" I hop out the car. I need distant from him and I need it now. I hear his door close and I turn "I think I can manage walking to the door with out getting harass". This is getting ridiculous. "You never know," he smirks "Do you mind if I wait for Sophia inside?" he puts his hands inside his pocket. I should be nice to him he did save me today from that man. I bite the inside of my mouth as he just wait for my answer. "Sure" I turn around and walk towards the door. I feel a little embarrass climbing up the stairs knowing he is behind me. I should of let him go first. I peak from the corner of my eye and I see him staring at my ass. Pervert! My hands are shaking as I reach for the keys. I try opening the door but the keys fall to the ground. Get a hold of your self Jane. I hear Gabriel laugh behind me. I bend down and quickly pick up the keys. "Are you alright? You seem kind of shaky" Gabriel tease. Why am I so nervous? As soon as I walk inside the house I untie my hair. I hate having my hair tied up it always gives me headaches. I rub my scalp and my curls go everywhere. It feels so good that I have to fight back the moan that wants to escape me. I look over to Gabriel and find his green eyes staring at me. "What?" I snap out of habit. He always has something smart to say. "Nothing you have nice hair" he shrugs as he shoves his hand into his front pocket. Is that a compliment? "Thanks" I smile. He walks towards the living room and I go into the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink?" I might as well be friendly. "Yes please a soda would be fine thank you". Well what do you know the ape has manners. I'm starting to discover a new side to him and to be honest it's scaring me. I can resist him when he is being an asshole but I can't resist him when he is being nice. I bring him his soda and take a seat on the sofa. "So Jane" he says. I take a sip of my water and look over to him "So Gabriel". I know he has something up his sleeves. "I think we should start all over again. You know from a clean slight" he rubs his hands on his jeans. If I didn't know better I would think he is nervous. Maybe I'm not the only one who feels something. "Why do you want to start all over again?" I ask. I'm going to enjoy every minute of him being nervous. He is always so sure of himself that I'm not use to seeing him like this. "Well you'll be living here for a while so I think it would be a good idea for us to get along and not hate each other you know for Sophia sake" he has a point. It must be hard for Sophia to have us fighting all the time. "Okay let's see how things works out" I say. I'm willing to give this a try let see how long it last. He held out his hands "Hi my name is Gabriel". I let out a laugh "Hi I'm Jane and I don't do drugs or one night stands". I had to give him the last blow. My hand fits perfectly inside his. He laughs "I'm sorry about the whole drug thing". Well what do you know for the second time today he apologizes and I believe he is being sincere. "It's fine but for the record I hate anything that has to do with drugs" I say. He has no idea how much. "I understand I feel the same way" he agrees. I look down to my hand which is still insides his and he lets go when he notice. I wonder what kind of experience he has had with drugs but I don't ask because I don't want him to ask about mines. "But anyways I am really sorry and I hope that we can move pass this" he smiles and my heart skips a beat. What was that about? I smile back "Already have". He wiggles his eyebrows and I know the shoe is about to drop "So how about we play 21 questions?". What is it with him and questions?. I really don't want to answer any questions about me but I do want to know about him. "Fine but with one condition," I say. He nods his head for me to go on "We can skip any questions we don't want to answer". I'm not about to jump into this game with out putting down some rules first. He rubs his chin and I can see that he is debating his decision. I would be happy with either decision really. "Deal" he finally says. Deep down I know this is a bad idea but I can't help but to fall into his trap. I want to know everything about him. "Okay so lets start slow and steady" he gives me an evil grin. I feel myself getting nervous so I start playing with my chain. "What's your full name?" he shift his body so he can see my face.
