"Hey you!" the guy in black exclaimed switching the gun from pointing to the terrified guy's head to my direction.

Oh shit how did we get here?

I was just coming home from work when I overheard a guy threatening someone and me, being the clumsy trash I am, fell causing the guy to notice me.

"Look, how about we sit down and talk this through you know?"

"Shut up!"

"Wow okay no need to be so rude" I muttered putting my hands over my head.

"How much did you hear?" he questioned sternly. My eyes widened and I felt the panic rise in me. And when I panic I-

"Nothing I'm deaf"

"Don't play dumb with me!" he growled shoving the gun in my direction causing me to flinch.

"You sure can't take a joke" I laughed nervously.

"What. Did. You. Hear" He was obviously trying to keep his calm. His finger was shaking ready to pull the trigger.

"I don't know what I heard but I sure know what I see and what I see is your friend here trying to escape"

"What!?" He exclaimed turning his head to find no one there. I used this opportunity and took off running for my life. Literally.

There was no way he was going to find that guy so I shouldn't feel guilty right? If anything I saved his life, I mean if it wasn't for my perfect distracting skills he would probably be dead by now.

I ran all the way home feeling anxious and my heart beating faster and faster the closer I got to my house. I kept making up scenarios of how he could find me and looking over my shoulder to see if anyone was following me. Fortunately I arrived home safe and sound. Well almost.

My legs felt like jelly, my whole body hurt from running and I couldn't catch my breath even after ten minutes. I felt light headed. Someone needs some exercise in her life.

And that was nothing.

The next day I had to move from my home to an I apartment I would be sharing with a roommate. See I had gotten accepted into my dream university and my uncle's house wasn't really near so I had to move out. Of course I couldn't rent my own apartment cause my job wasn't enough for that.

So the next day I packed all my things into two big suitcases and just like that I was ready to go.

"Look at that, my little girl is leaving the house" My uncle said smiling.

"You've done enough for me already uncle Rob, I'll always be thankful"

"I just did what every uncle would do" he patted my shoulder. God, I'll miss him. "Go now or youll miss the bus"

"Bye uncle Rob!" I yelled walking away.

"And call me when you're there!"

----------

By the time I had arrived I was a hot mess. My hair probably looked like a bird's nest and I was dripping sweat. Not to mention that the apartment was on the fourth floor and I had to walk up the stairs because the elevator was out of order, and let me tell you all that while caring two big suitcases took a lot out of me.

I was finally in front of the apparent's door so I quickly caught my breath and knocked.

"You must be Aria" The deep voice took me by surprise making me immediately look up.

Oh God, my eyes have been blessed.

This guy looked like a dark angel. He was tall. Really tall. Like a good over six feet tall. And he obviously worked out since his body took up all the space and I couldn't see anything inside the apartment. His midnight black hair looked perfectly disheveled and kind of wet. Oh my God did he just have a shower?  I could see some drops of water on his spotless tan skin. His eyes mesmerized me though. It was mainly a dark royal blue with specs of a lighter shade.

"Y-yeah that's me" I laughed nervously. "And you must be Alexander" I said a little unsure. I mean there was no way I would be so lucky as to be sharing an apartment with a guy like him. Luck wouldn't smile down on me now.

"Yes that's me" He smiled showing off his perfect white teeth. Gosh his smile could make any girl melt at his feet. "Glad I get to share my apartment with such a beautiful girl" he winked and walked into the apartment. Me? Did he just refer to me as a beautiful girl? I think I just might die.

"So I hope you like it and feel comfortable, that-" he pointed to a door "-is your room, you can decorate it anyway you like, and next to your room is my room"

O H M Y G O D. My room is next to his.

"And lastly that is the bathroom"

One bathroom. What could happen?

"you can go unpack now, do you want me to help?"

Deep down I wanted to spend some time with him, but I didn't want to ask for help because he made me feel really shy.

"No it's okay I can do it" I smiled kindly. Or tried to.

"We can do it together so we can finish earlier and go out so I can show you the around if you'd like" he suggested with a hint of a smile.

Us? Go out? Did he just ask me to go out with him?

Calm down Aria he just offered to show you around.

"Ah-"

"Perfect let's start then" he said carrying both of my huge suitcases in one hand like it was nothing. Am I weak or is he too strong?  Who am I kidding it's both. I thought seeing the muscles on his arms flex.

I followed after him and saw him dump the suitcases on the bed.

"I'm sure if I unzip this everything is going to fly out like a firework" I said. He chuckled and unzipped the suitcases fortunately without anything flying on his face.

That was when it came to me.

"Wow you must love lace" he smirked looking at my lacey underwear on top of every other thing in the suitcase. I mentally slapped my forehead.

I knew I couldn't go an hour without embarrassing myself.

"Hey don't look!" I exclaimed and moved to stand between him and the suitcase.

"That's too late now princess" he let out with a deep chuckle. "I bet that baby pink would go great on you" he smirked.

"Shut up!" By now I was obviously blushing since I could feel the hear creep up my cheeks.

"Aw look at that you're blushing so adowable" he cooed and pinched my cheeks.

"It's not adorable!" I whined. "And don't pinch my cheeks!" I yelled and shooed his hands away.

"You're so cute when you act all mad" he smiled.

"Enough, we got work to do" I said sternly still feeling the heat on my cheeks.

"Of course princess" he chuckled as he saw me hide all my underwear in my hands and putting them away in the first drawer I found.

Not going to lie the way he would call me princess or cute or adorable did things to me, but I wasn't going to let him know that, that would be beyond embarrassing.

"So, strawberry? " He looked at me while licking his ice cream.

"So, chocolate mint?"

"It's sour"

"It tastes like toothpaste" we said at the same time.  "How can you like chocolate mint?"

"Hey don't come at me chocolate mint is really refreshing"

"Yeah almost feels like washing your teeth"

We had obviously opened up to each other more now and we were getting along pretty well. It was almost as if we had known each other for years.

"This is my favorite café" he pointed somewhere. Wait a minute-

"I started working here a week ago"

"Really? That's great means I'll get to see you more often" He smiled at me making me feel a strange feeling. So he enjoyed my company?

"We already share an apartment how much more often?"

"Well you know, you have to go to work and college and I have to go to work so we won't be seeing each other as much". Hearing this made my smile fall instantly but I regained my expression.

"What about college?" I asked "Don't you go to college?"

"Aria, I'm twenty eight" he laughed bitterly.

Oh.

"Where do you work?" I asked. He paused for a second.

"I-ah, I'm a security guard" he said after a couple of seconds.

"That's cool you must look really hot in that suit"

Aria summers what the heck did you just say-

"I could wear it for you any day you want" he smirked winking at me. I can already feel the blush.

I could just melt right now.

"Aw everytime you blush I just want to squish you" he cooed making me pout. "Now you pout too? You'll kill me with your cuteness" he laughed.

"Shut up" I frowned and slapped his arm. I could swear he didn't even feel that.
