He
quickly hugged me tightly. I cried on his chest. Yeah, his shirt was wet with
my tears. He calms me down. I cried harder.
“shh…that’s
okay now. You’re safe here.”
“NO!
They definitely gonna kill me if they know I was here!” I sobbed.
After
I calmed down, I told him everything about me. I have a villain dad and
drug-dealer brothers. I told him my dark life story. How miserable my life was…
“Don’t
worry. I’ll help you.”
“No!
There’s no way I can get away from them. Everywhere I go, they’ll find me!”
He
took a deep breath.
“Look,
I can do a police lodge to catch them.”
“No!
I’ve tried once, but after that, they beat me, torturing me so bad!”
“As
long as I’m around, I promise that they can never lay a single finger on you.”
I
went silent, and I nodded my head, weakly. He took out his phone and made a
police lodge. A few hours later, he receives a call from the police officer.
“What
do you mean they got away?” he shouted. I just hear the conversations with
silence.
“Find
them at any cost! No matter if they dead or alive!” and he shuts his phone, and
then looks at me, and took a very deep breath again.
“They’ve
escaped. But I’m sure they will catch them as soon as possible,” he said to me
as he held my hand tightly and smiles to me.
“I
trust you….uh, I’m sorry, what’s your name?” I asked.
He
chuckles and blushed. He himself forgot to introduce his name to me.
“oh,right…
my name is Leon Scott Kennedy. You can call me Leon.”
“Leon…
my name is Jasmine.”
“Jasmine…what
a sweet name… here, I brought you some food. Don’t worry; I didn’t put any
poison inside it.”
He
serves me the food and help to feed me. I don’t know why, but my heart said to
me, this man can be trusted, and I follow my heart to trust this man, Leon S.
Kennedy.
A
few weeks later, I’ve been discharged, but one thing that gave me headache, how
and where can I find the money to pay the bills?
“Um…nurse,
I….I don’t have money to pay the bills, nor the insurance.”
“Oh,
you don’t have too, miss. Someone had already paid it for you.”
“Pay
the bills for me? Who pay it for me?”
Right
in time, Leon came into my ward with a smile.
“Speak
of the devil; he’s the one who paid for you.”
The
nurse pointed to him. He just shrugged his shoulders, and then he took me out
from there. He said that I can stay with him, but I don’t wanna trouble him
anymore. I said to him that I wanna go back to my late mother’s hometown, stay
with my granny and my sister, but he didn’t allow me to.
“If
you go there, they will easily found you and threatens you, your granny and
your sister. Just stay with me. Don’t worry about it.”
Alas,
I agreed and followed him to his place. I know I was gawking as I entered his
house. It’s really big and beautiful! Is he a business man or what? Where did
he find money to buy such a big, luxury house like that?
“um…
Leon, mind if I ask you something?”
“yeah,
what is it?”
I
swallowed hard before I could speak out.
“um…what
are you working for? Don’t get me wrong, it’s just…I was wondering where’d you
get the money to help me pay the hospital bills, your lavish house…”
He
just smiles, and pats my head gently.
“I’m
in a secret service with the government. But don’t tell anyone, kay?” he said
to me with a wink.
As
he opens the door, suddenly his dog, a Siberian husky breed came out of nowhere
and jumped onto me and licked my face. It tickles!
“No!
Stop it! Its tickles!”
“Here
boy! Come here boy.”
The
dog obeys him and went to him, rolling on the floor, cheerily and happily.
“good
boy! You miss me, Scott?”
“Scott?
Isn’t that your middle name?”
“why
not? I’d like to share my name with him.”
I
just shuddered. He shows me my room. I put my things in one corner, and then I
lied on the soft bed. Without I realized, I fell asleep. Since then, I lived
with him peacefully, and get to know him better. Guess what? Leon has a bad
habit. He likes to keep his dirty clothes till it piles up like a mountain, and
one day, he had ran out of shirts to wear.
“Damn
it! I’ve ran out of shirt!”
He
went into the laundry room, shirtless, and only in his three-quartered pants. I
almost bleed my nose, seeing his fit body, muscular chest and shoulders, that
six packs….
“hey,
have wash any of my shirts yet?”
“uh…what?
Oh! Nope, not yet. I’m just about to start the laundry now. Why? You ran out of
shirts? Serves you right.”
“aww
man! I want to go out for a while, but I don’t have any shirts left.”
I
went to my room and took out a shirt that my sister gave me for my birthday 2
years ago. But I never wear it, because my sister accidentally bought the man
size. Secondly, its pink, and I hate pink! I handed him the shirt.
“Wear
this!”
He
made a face, and I gave him an angry look.
“I
don’t think I’m gonna wear this. I guess I just stay at home today.”
He
went out of the room, left the shirt on the machine. After almost an hour doing
the laundry, I went to the living hall and found that Leon was sleeping on his
couch, shirtless.
He looks like mumbling something in his
sleeping. I smiled and kiss his forehead. He frowns a little.
“Thank
you,…for saving me…” I whispered on his ears. I stroke his front hair and went
away from there, leaving him sleeping peacefully on the couch.
