He’s so hot

         Jayden’s Pov:

I watched her as she slept like a baby. 

She was so pretty and innocent. 

It was still raining heavily and I had her covered with a blanket. 

Anyways you guys might be surprised that I came to her rescue right? 

Like perfect timing 

But it’s not a coincidence…. 

It was all planned out.

I’ve been stalking her ever since I set my eyes on her. 

Yeah… Yeah you know I like her…. 

Or should I say that I love her. 

I kinda like her because she’s stubborn. 

I never thought I could have her close to me like this. 

Her rude face was now mild and innocent. 

I smiled broadly as I covered her properly.

      Natasha’s Pov:

I breathed heavily as I gently opened my weak eyes. 

My vision was blurry and I held my head. 

My head hurts so badly.

I yawned tiredly as I sat up. 

I turned around and to my utmost surprise, I saw the Jay guy. 

I flinched as I looked myself to know if he took advantage of me.

But my clothes were still intact. 

He only smiled at me. 

“No such thing happened” He said as I gulped nervously. 

I was still gobsmacked. 

“What are you doing here?” I managed to ask. 

“Your car broke down… Have you forgotten?” He said and I turned my face away. 

“Yeah!” I said as I stood up. 

“And it’s still raining so you can’t go home now.. It’s dangerous” He said. 

Why is he being so concerned….? 

I can’t believe I will have to spend the night with him in my car. 

I quickly made for my purse. 

I brought out some money and handed to him. 

“Here…. Your payback for saving me yesterday” I said avoiding eye contact with him. 

He scoffed and shook his head.

“So you think your life is worth such a small amount of money?” He asked. 

“Small amount of money? This is a million bucks” I said blinking hard. 

“So? Can such a small amount of money buy your life?” He asked. 

I groaned angrily. 

He’s such a jerk…. 

So this is his own way of saying that the money is too small. 

“I’ll add it up!” I said as I brought out my cheque book. 

“Don’t forget to add today’s money cos I saved you today too” He said as I gulped hard. 

“You are such an inconsiderate person…” I half yelled at him. 

I expected him to raise his voice at me too but instead he started laughing. 

I was so embarrassed. 

Gosh! 

I despise this guy so much…. 

“Get out of my car right now” I ordered 

He chuckled as I stared at him confused. 

“What’s funny? I said get the hell outta my car” I yelled at him. 

“Take off my jacket and give me back my blanket” He said and I bit my lips trying to hid my fear. 

“I’ll return them when I get home and change to something else” I said 

“Fine… Then I’ll come down when we get home” He said and I grunted. 

“I hate you!” I yelled at him. 

“Same here but in the opposite” He said as I rolled my eyes at him. 

I backed him and smiled. 

“Don’t you have a car? You should have gone with yours” I said 

“Well it’s at the repairer’s…cos it’s faulty” He said. 

“Whatever!” I snorted. 

💭 The opposite of hate is like right? He likes me 💭 I smiled within me. 

My goodness why am I even excited that he likes me? 

There was silence…. 

I bet we are waiting for who to break the silence. 

“Does that mean we are going to spend the night here?” I broke the silence finally 

“Obviously!” He said and I gulped. 

“That’s dangerous…” I rolled my eyes. 

“Yeah… And I’ve heard a lot about ghosts moving about here” He said as I flinched. 

My heart skipped a beat. 

“What? Really?” I asked scared. 

“Yes… Countless number of times” He said. 

I gulped in fear. 

I quickly adjusted closer to him. 

“Can you stop that… If you plan on getting me scared then please just shut up cos it’s obviously working” I screamed. 

“It’s not a lie…. I’ve heard of one that devoured a little girl” He said looking really serious. 

I quickly closed my eyes with my palms. 

Some minutes later, I removed my palms and looked around in fear. 

Am so scared of ghosts 

       Kayla’s Pov:

I stared at the wall clock. 

It was getting real late and Natasha is not yet home. 

I know am still mad at her but that doesn’t stop me from loving her. 

She’s like a sister to me. 

I picked up my cell phone and dialed the number. 

it rang but there was no answer. 

I dialed the number again and this time it was picked. 

But it was a male voice and it sounded familiar. 

📱Hello… who’s this?” I asked shocked. 

I hope nothing bad has happened to my dear friend. 

I wish I picked her call earlier. 

📱It’s me Jayden… He said 

📱 Jayden? why are you with my friend’s phone…. I asked with a smile. 

📱I’ll tell you but first we’ll strike a plan… He said as I smiled. 

📱Am all ears…. I said

THE NEXT MORNING 

I got down from the taxi and crossed the road. 

I saw her car parked by the roadside. 

I got closer. 

To my greatest surprise, she was sleeping comfortably in Jay’s arms. 

OMG! So romantic 

I brought out my cell phone and snapped them. 

They were cuddling…. 

“NATASHA!” I screamed and both of them jerked up…
