Samantha stretches out her arm to reach for her phone. Someone is already ahead of her and picks up her phone. Samantha angrily yells ''Give this jerk!'', she looks up and sees to her surprise that a man has Katske in one arm and the phone in his other hand.
Samantha looks shocked at the man who is holding Katske. The man standing in front of her seemed to be handmade by Allah. Her anger disappeared like snow in the sun. This man holding her cat was anything but ugly. The handsome stranger was certainly at least six feet tall, with light-toned skin, dark brown, it looks like he trains often, not to mention blue/brown eyes that can see through your soul. Samantha has never been the kind of girl to stare at men but this stranger changed that.
"Is that how you talk to your saver?" the stranger says arrogantly. Samantha may think he looks good, but she doesn't like his tone. "You didn't save me, you just caught my cat so if you give it back I'll go home," Samantha says bravely. The stranger replies with half a smile on his face, "Okay, get up then and I'll give it to you." The stranger knew full well that Samantha couldn't get up. Samantha makes an effort to get up even though she knows she can't but this man has made her cranky, making her want to prove otherwise. Samantha tries to get up with her good foot, pushing herself up with her hands. She feels the pain getting more intense but she would rather have the pain of her foot right now than then her ego getting cranked. She doesn't give him the pleasure to say "I told you so." She struggles to get up, but she managed. Smiling she looks at the man and says 'look I'm unharmed, no rescuer needed. So if you give my cat back now, we can both go our own way." The man looks at Samantha irritated, he wonders why she is being stubborn and just doesn't admit that she is in pain. He is also a stubborn person but he has never met a woman as stubborn as Samantha, except his sister. The man comes up with a wicked idea to see how tough Samantha continues to act. Smiling, he looks at Samantha and takes 3 steps back. Samantha knows what he's up to and says "let me guess, you want me to walk over to you?" The man grins and says 'yeah sure, let's see if you don't need me as you claim. Walk up to me and you'll get your cat back." Samantha sighs irritated "That wasn't the deal! Give me my cat back now! Before you regret it!" she says half screaming. The man is not used to anyone talking to him like that, this girl is getting on his nerves "you have a big mouth for a girl maybe I should teach you that your mouth can be used for something else instead of screaming at my". Samantha is at odds with her feelings, she doesn't know whether to blush at his comment or attack him. She chooses the 2nd option she tries to walk towards him but at the first step, she feels such a severe pain that she falls over. To her luck, the man caught her by the waist with the hand he had free.
Samantha had already closed her eyes in fear that she would fall but she suddenly feels a strong arm that has lifted her. She opens her eyes and sees that the man had caught her. Their faces are so close that Samantha can hear his breathing. She stares at him in silence until the man breaks the silence after a few seconds. "Are you okay?" this time the man sounded worried then sarcastic and arrogant. Samantha nodded and held the man by the shoulder as she tried to balance on her foot again. "I'm going to take you to a hospital whether you like it or not. You are not able to walk back." The man says, still supporting Samantha around her waist. Samantha also realizes now that the man is right but he is a stranger. She doesn't know him, maybe he is a rapist or worse a murderer. "I think I'll call my brother, he can bring me." Samantha says in a soft tone. ''frustrating woman'' says the stranger with a sigh. He tells Samantha to take her phone out of his jacket pocket because he has his hands full. Samantha picks up her phone and calls Kadim. Kadim doesn't answer she tries again but he still doesn't answer. Samantha then tries to call Dana who happily answers. "Dana where is Kadim?" "with me" she answers very dryly. "ok are you guys home or in the neighborhood?" "no we're with my parents" angrily says Samantha "couldn't you say that?" Samantha tries to stay calm but she can't she holds the phone hard and is about to lash out at Dana until... The stranger fingers circle around her waist and put his mouth close to her ear and say in a soft voice "habibty calm, calm down." Samantha takes a deep breath and lets the words sink in and the fact that his lips are brushing against her ear. What is this stranger doing to her she thinks he was being a dick and now he is trying to calm her down. Samantha is more frustrated than before because the stranger is giving her mixed signals. Samantha takes a deep breath and says to Dana "Dana I'll see you later" and hangs up. Samantha is so angry that she can scream with irritation but she decides to bite her tongue before cursing everything and everyone. The man sees her irritation and says 'I don't know what has been said to you but it looks like the two of us are stuck for now. Come I'll take you to a hospital, I live nearby. If we go to my house I can take the car." Samantha just nods, she doesn't know what to say. "We're taking it step by step," the man says. He holds Samantha tight around her waist so she doesn't fall over. Samantha takes a step forward but notices that the pain in her foot is too intense, she stiffens from the pain. The man noticed how much pain she is and scolded himself under his breath. How can he be so stupid of course she can't walk, if she could walk she would have gone home long ago, he thought. "Wait," the man says. He gives Katske to Samantha. Samantha is pretty sure now that she's being left behind. Until the man suddenly lifts her up in his arms. "What are you doing?" Samantha asks. ''what do you think? You can't walk, I'll just have to carry you." Samantha decides to keep quiet, she doesn't feel the need to talk right now. She strokes Katske who is laying on her stomach with one hand, her other hand lays lightly around the man's neck. She looks at the man and is observing him. She notices that the man takes good care of himself with a trimmed beard, not as long and dirty as other men have. She can also see that he goes to the hairdresser regularly. She also smells a very intense men's scent. He certainly isn't neglecting himself, she thought. What does she expect most arrogant men take very good care of themselves. But he isn't as perfect as he seems. His nose is broken before and he has a fairly sized scar on his cheek, the scar is slightly visible if seen up close. The man realizes that Samantha is staring at him and looks at her with his brown-blue eyes. With a chuckle, he says "Do you like what you see?". Samantha quickly looks away. "You don't have to blush, I just asked if you liked the view. But I can already guess the answer." "Then you know my answer is no and I was wondering how long it will be before we get to your house." The man shakes his head slowly. "You're a bad liar, you know that?" ''I do not lie!''. ''Don't bother you blush even worse than before and this time you're not focused on my great looks.'' ''Are we almost there?! We're in a residential area and I'm pretty sure you don't live here." Samantha says wearily. "thanks habibty but you're right I don't live here" the man says as he rolls his eyes. "where are you taking me?" Samantha starts to panic, where is this stranger taking her?
Where is the stranger taking her? Found out in the next chapter.......
