THE GUY NEXT DOOR
The Guy Next Door - Episode 7
He's so hot
Natasha's Pov:
I opened my weak eyes sluggishly....
On opening my eyes, I saw different faces peering into my face.
I quickly jerked up..
I looked at myself and I was wearing a very big pyjamas.
"Oh thank goodness you are awake now" Kayla said as she hugged me.
I looked around in confusion...
"What happened?" I managed to ask.
"Well you almost got drown in the pool outside" Kayla said
"My God!" I freaked out.
"What?" They chorused
"I shouldn't have attended this party...." I groaned
"No Tasha... The statement should be, I shouldn't have gone outside in the dark" Kayla rolled her eyes.
"Yeah... Yeah whatever!" I snorted
"And you owe your life to someone... The one who saved you" Kayla said.
"Saved me? Oh my gosh... I can't wait to give that person a bag full of thanks... Am so grateful" I said as I sprang up.
"Well it's no one else but him" Kayla said pointing to the stairs.
I quickly turned around and flinched.
To my greatest surprise, it was the guy I've been rude to.
Jayden
My lips parted in shock....
He saved me?
After all the hurtful words I've said to him?
He walked downstairs with a smile.
I quickly frowned my face.
"You saved me?" I asked in astonishment
"Yeah... There's no big deal saving my princess" He chuckled.
My face countenance changed immediately.
Did he just call me his princess?
I snorted and backed him.
"I know I owe you for saving me but that doesn't mean that am good friends with you" I said as everyone looked at me in surprise.
"Girl are you for real? Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a cutie?" One of the girls winked at him.
Arrrgghh....
Some girls are so gullible and annoying
I rolled my eyes at her.
"I don't see him as a cutie cos he's not one for me" I sighed
"Can't you be grateful for once?" Marvin blurted out in annoyance.
I quickly gave him a dangerous glare.
"Shut the hell up.... Don't worry Mr Jayden! I'll pay you back for your help" I said as I picked up my purse and walked away.
"Tasha! Tasha wait...." Kayla called as she ran after me.
"What the fvck is your problem?" She yelled at me.
"What do you think my problem is?" I said
"For goodness sake Natasha, that guy saved your ass" Kayla half yelled
"Yeah right! And I just told him I will pay him back" I said
"You're so unbelievable!" She scoffed
"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't force me to come here" I said as I walked out of the gate.
Kayla's Pov:
I breathed heavily as I watched Natasha walk away.
Is this the extent of her bitterness?
Does she hate men this much?
This is really very bad!
I have to apologize to them for what she just did.
I walked into the house with my head bowed.
"That girl is nothing but an ingrate" Marvin screamed
"You're right Marvin.... She's so ungrateful!" They chorused
"I don't think she is" Jayden said and everyone gasped.
"What? You mean you don't see any fault in what she just did?" Marvin asked
"Yes... I mean what she just said isn't bad" Jayden said.
My eyes widened in surprise.
What the.....
Is Jay defending the girl that just insulted him?
"Come on Jay! I know what she did is bad but please am sorry" I pleaded
"There will be no need for the pleading... It's OK!" He smiled.
I smiled back at him but I was still confused.
How come he doesn't see anything bad in what Tasha did?
I shrugged it off.
Natasha's Pov:
I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied to my chest.
I applied my cream on my spotless skin.
But then I paused and thoughts of what happened an hour ago rushed back into my memories.
I mean this is quite unbelievable....
After how rude I talked to that Jay guy, he still saved me from drowning.
But wait... Did he give me mouth to mouth....
OMG!
I hope he didn't kiss me....
My lips curved to a sweet smile.
He's cute though
But I just don't want to be friends with them.
I know deep down inside me that I shouldn't have talked to him that way.
But I just have to so that he will stay away from me.
I have to pay him back for saving me.
I can't owe him!
Gosh!
He probably carried me in a bridal style to the sitting room.
I jumped on the bed happily.
It's been a long time since I was carried in a bridal style.
I giggled.
I have to go to bed before Kayla comes home.
I don't have the strength for her scolding.
She can be a mommy at that one.
I quickly put on my nighties and bounced on the bed.
I kept thinking about the previous happenings before I slept off.
And very early in the morning, I left for work.
I don't want to see eyeball to eyeball with Kayla until she's not angry any longer.
**
"Damn..." I yelled as I kicked the car tyre angrily.
I've got a flat tyre.
I glanced at my wrist watch and groaned.
It was already getting dark.
8:57pm....
Almost nine o'clock in the night.
"Why do you have to break down here by this time?" I asked the car tyre like it was human
What do I do now?
I walked up and down restlessly.
I picked up my cell phone and dialed the car repairer's number but unfortunately he said he was out of town.
"What do I do now?" I yelled angrily.
Just then, the thunder clapped noisily and I was so scared.
To worsen the whole situation, it was about to rain.
I was stranded.
I tried reaching Kayla but she wasn't picking up.
I bet she still angry with me cos of last night.
There was heavy lightening and thunder and the rain started falling.
I tried fixing the tyre but I couldn't.
I was already drenched in the rain and shivering.
I was freaking pissed off and tired as hell.
Just then, I heard someone's voice in the dark lonely path.
"Here!" The voice said and I turned around.
A thick jacket was handed to me
I couldn't say a word cos I was shivering.
I quickly put on the jacket.
That was when I saw the helper's face clearly.
"Jayden?" I called as I collapsed into his arms......
