Chapter 6

~Maya~

My eyes widened as our lips remained intertwined with each other. I couldn't understand why I had a sense of deja Vu with this strange man. He tasted the exact same way the stranger did. Could it be he's my one night stand?

Our eyes locked onto each other as our lips remained intertwined. Looking at the man underneath me, I felt a strange sense of familiarity which couldn't be explained.

"B*tch!"

A woman yelled as she approached us angrily. Blinking my eyes, I was jolted back to the present. Realizing I was still on top of him, I got up quickly arranging my clothes.

Slap!

Her hands grazed my cheeks harshly as she yelled, "Ungrateful b*tch! How dare you!"

Ungrateful? What did she mean by that?

"Enough!" The man yelled as he got up from the floor. Arranging his clothes, he glared at the woman angrily, "She saved my life! What is wrong with you!"

"Kissing you is saving your life?!"

"It's none of your business," he responded coldly.

Turning to me, he forced a smile as he stretched his hand towards me, "I apologize for her outburst. I'm deeply sorry."

Smiling awkwardly, I accepted his hand reluctantly, "It's fine."

Seeing the situation, I could tell she was probably his lover and I definitely didn't want to get involved in a lovers quarrel. I didn't want to be the reason this happy couple fought.

"I'll take my leave now," I stated.

Without giving him a chance to speak, I swiftly departed towards the opposite direction. Saving a guy from danger got me a hot slap across my face.

That was unexpected. Yet, I couldn't shake off the feeling of deja Vu I had experienced earlier.

His lips, his scent, they were the exact same thing with the stranger from last night.

Could it really be him? Of course not, right? He's just a random guy I saved from a fatal accident, he couldn't be the same person.

Biting my lips, I made my way towards the restaurant. Sitting at the table, I made my order and sat patiently, waiting for the waiter.

Buzz!

My phone lit up with a notification. Swiping through, tears welled up in my eyes as I read through the contents of notification.

Andrew and Katherine just announced their relationship publicly. My heart sank as I read through the post.

Wow! I really was a fool. My heart shattered into a million pieces reading through the post.

'We have been together for two years and finally happy to showcase our love publicly. Thank you for supporting us. Hope to invite you to our wedding soon!'

"Wedding?" I muttered to myself in disbelief.

Andrew wouldn't do this to me now would he? Tears rolled down my eyes as I lost myself in thought. It couldn't be!

Deep down, I knew my tears wouldn't change the outcome, but what I couldn't digest was the fact I'd been a fool for so long. Putting my phone back into my bag, I inhaled deeply as I smacked my lips.

"Crying doesn't suit you," a deep voice came from behind.

Hearing his steps stop by my side, I raised my head as my eyes fixed themselves on the person responsible. They widened as I realized it was the stranger I had saved earlier.

"You?!"

"Yes me, and you?"

Rolling my eyes, I scoffed as I asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing really," he said, taking a seat in front of me. "You didn't give me a chance to thank you for saving me."

"Oh, it's nothing," I responded. Seeing he had no other ulterior motives, I didn't see the need to argue or be rude towards him.

"How rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Adrian Steele," he said, shrugging his shoulders proudly, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. He looked at me intently, like I was meant to know him.

"Ok and?" I asked, uninterested. The only thing I wanted in that moment was to fill my tummy and leave this wretched place.

"Ok and?! Don't you know who I am?" He asked, arching a brow as he stared at me in disbelief.

Rolling my eyes, I wrapped my arms, staring at him, "Are you the president?" I asked sarcastically.

He furrowed his brows as he looked at me blankly. I could tell he was confused as he bit his lips. The smug look on his face disappeared as he leaned closer, "How don't you know me?"

"Cause you're not important," I stated firmly, tossing my hair to the other side.

"Interesting."

"What?"

"I find it fascinating you don't know who I am."

"I find it suffocating you're still in front of me."

Chuckling slightly, Adrian ran his hands through his hair as he looked at me Intently. His gaze filled with mischief as he licked his lips. I could tell he had other thoughts in his head, and I certainly didn't want to stick around to find out what they were.

"You aren't going to introduce yourself?" He asked, cocking his arched brow towards me.

"Maya Brooks."

"Where would you be headed?"

"California."

His eyes widened with excitement as a smug look played on his face, "Same here."

"What do you want?" I asked, rolling my eyes. I was getting tired of his shenanigans and found his advancements unbearable. I had a lot of things going on and messing around with a stranger wasn't on my list.

"Nothing. I'm just interested in knowing you."

"Loose the interest hot stuff, I'm taken," I stated firmly.

Taken. A word I was used to saying to push guys away. Funny how I still use it, knowing I was dumped just few hours ago.

"When's the wedding?" He asked, the curiosity in his voice evident as he stared at me.

"What wedding?"

"Oh, so he's not serious I see," he stated triumphantly, "How about I become your serious relationship."

Hearing his words, I scoffed in disgust as I bit my lips. Running my hands through my hair, I rose to my feet swiftly, picking up my bag, I returned my gaze to him, "Your line is so cocky."

Without giving him a chance to continue, I made my way out of the restaurant swiftly. I was p*ss*d. I wasn't able to enjoy my meal which was never delivered, and my stomach growled loudly in agony.

Making my way back to the airport, I sat down in the lobby. Pulling out my phone, I blocked my ears as I scrolled through videos to pass time. After what felt like an eternity, my flight was finally announced.

Making my way to the line, I passed all necessary procedures. As I ascended the stairs to the plane, I turned back, taking a final glance at the city I once knew. Inhaling deeply, I made my way into the plane swiftly.

Alas, a new beginning awaits me.
