CHAPTER ONE

My day turned from normal to life threatening, very quickly. To say I was shaking would be an understatement.

I was whimpering like a dying dog but I was not the least embarrassed. Been held hostage can do that to a person, all manner of embarrassment flew out the window as I plead shamelessly for my life.

“Come any closer and I slit her fucking neck! He screamed right in my ear, startling the cops to move a pace back. Everyone knew he was not joking as he held my neck dangerously close to a very sharp butcher knife that is beginning to tear my skin painfully and carelessly.

You can tell he was not sane, as he was not acting sane, unfortunately for me I’m his bargaining chip. Just one single mistake and I will definitely be a goner.

At this point I was a crying mess, when I got down here I never expected my life will end here, to make matters worst I could feel the helpless gaze of the cops on me.

“Move back you fuckers!! His screams were doing dangerously more harm as the knife he held carelessly on my neck sinks in to his screams.

“Hey..!

A newcomer, although I can’t really tell if he was a cop or just a passerby, unfortunately I can barely see pass my tearful eyes, however the relief I heard from the other cops standing near gave me the impression he is one of them ‘a cop’.

“Where the hell have you been..” one muttered to him, but he just gave his colleague an apologetic smile before turning to my situation.

“Let the lady go and I promise to help lessen your punishment”

The voice spoke quite calmly but firmly leaving no room for argument, it was obvious by his bored voice he was tired of hearing the threats my captor was spewing.

“Who the hell are you!!

Again with the screaming. I mean he could just talk calmly and all would still hear him perfectly well but that’s just my wishful thinking because I think am about to lose a neck here.

It happened so fast. One second I was held by my captor and then the next I found myself on the floor with my captor’s wrist broken in a weird angle and my hero punching the living guts out of him.

Like WTF, I can feel the cold air hit my skin causing the painful cut on my neck to sting..

A few seconds later I felt someone help me up and lead me to sit somewhere I’m just not bothered to identify. I could hear voices but I’m too lost in my own mind to actually listen.

“Is she going to be ok??

“Yeah, she is just in shock.. thankfully the cut isn’t too deep, just a few scratches here and there. Something an ointment can fix”

I looked up at the sound of the voice that successfully tore me from my pitiful state but instead of meeting the eyes of a female as the voice identified, I met a hard blue one that clearly belongs to a hard man.

It took a long second for me to recognize him since my mind was still all over the place. My savior in black joggers.

I don’t know how it happened but I couldn’t tear off my gaze from his compelling one. I don’t know how long it took but eventually I saw him wink before walking off.

Probably to answer the preceding call that demanded his attention. But still yet I can’t seem to stop looking, he definitely looks nothing like a cop, more like a gangster. He was tall at about 6”4 and huge, thankfully he was huge in the right places giving him a balanced figure like he feeds well and exercises well too… in general he was looking healthy and not ‘I’m on steroids huge’.

He was different, handsomely different, his facial structure is definitely something to write home about.

Finally feeling strong, I willed myself to move thankfully my captor was already taken away, and with the help of a few officers, I was driven home. Although my apartment was not far, I was still very thankful for their help and the sense of protection it gave me.

I willed my mind to forget the unfortunate event that happened tonight, thankfully I was ok, I survived.

‘All thanks to my savior’

Pushing him out of my mind and life I went into a deep restful sleep.

It been two weeks since that unfortunately event, and I’ve moved on well if you ask me, although I’m never going anywhere again once it’s eight pm, don’t want a repeat of what happened before.

I know without doubt that I’m just growing a phobia for night walks but I just can’t seem to help it, so I let it be, better safe than sorry… right.

“My baby!!!

The screeching sound got to me and every body on the Cafe as my best friend, Emily strolled to me in her happy dance. I was all smiles.. I miss her big time, I was pulling her for a hug before she knew it, we hugged for about 5 whole min before separating, it was a joyful experience.

“It felt like ages since I last saw you..” she gushed unstopped like a mother hen, even though the last time we saw was a month ago coupled with the fact that a day does not go by without us FaceTiming like three to five times but still yet I miss her as much.

“I know right …”

“How are you”

Although to another person it sounded like another greetings but I know this was her asking my state after that unfortunate incident, she was not around on that day but when she heard about it, I had to move heaven and earth to convince her actively not to drop everything she was doing and come to my aid.

“It was a bit hard at first, I felt my heart almost jump out at every little commotion, it was scary but with time I got better” with her around i feel like I can conquer the world, she was a spitfire.

“It’s all in the past now” she answered, thankfully putting a stop to my growing discomfort at the subject.

“However!! I have a date for you!

“Not again..” I groaned loudly, immediately forgetting my said discomfort, already thinking up a billion excuses.

“Don’t give me that… for goodness sake you live like a nun, you barely communicate with the opposite sex… so i my friend is here to rectify that.” She explain way too proudly. I couldn’t help but remember him, he was the first man I reacted to in a long time, but then it might just be my brain playing tricks with me considering the circumstances.

“I know you are trying to help but I’m fine the way I am… I love my space, you know” I complained again the trillionth time but of course it was all falling on deaf ears.

“He is a friend of a friend, who happens to see a picture of you and picked interest and would love to meet, trust me I have a feeling you guys will kick it off”

“You said the same thing about all the other guys you forced me to go on a date with, it obviously not going to work…. I’m not trying to be hard but I know I will eventually find the one ok.” I don’t know how, but I felt like I’ve finally convinced my mother/best friend from setting me up again.

“Ok, I understand. But just this once and I promise to never set you up again.., pretty please”

“You promise right..?” I asked to confirm her words, besides one more date won’t hurt and thankfully I will be having her off my back on this dating of a thing.

“Cross my heart and hope to die… I promise, I just want you to find the one you know.. I have my someone and I sincerely wish the same for you”

I’ve told her countless time that I don’t mind but of course, she wants me to be happily in a relationship like her, although she is married. I give it to Hilary, he didn’t even take his time to pop the ‘marry me’ question to my bf. It was so cute but I guess it was love at first sight for the two and I’m very happy for them, but Emily is not having any of it. She want me off the market as soon as she was taken, successfully plugging me to countless dates. At first I appreciate the thought but now I think she is just having outright fun with it, but I can’t complain much, I know she meant well but for the love of God I will not hesitate to strangle her if she ever go back on her promise to let me live my life and not bombard me with dates upon dates.

“I appreciate the thought.. I really do, but I hope you don’t go back on your promise to leave me alone after this last date or else I will really strangle you and bundle your big ass back to Hilary. Do we have a deal?

I stated pulling my hand out for an agreement handshake.

“Deal.. I really have a good feeling about this one” she stated shaking my hand to signify our made deal.

Satisfy with the sealed promise, we continued on with our other plenteous conversation. Yet I can’t help but think of him, my savior.

Daily updates but i would love to have at least one like to every update, it wull really motivate me to do more.

Love from jem.
