" Stop checking me out and please drive , Tinkerbell." He says with so much sarcasm and a really cute British accent. 

" I can't drive a total stranger. I don't even know who you're."

" Snow White please drive." he whines tiredly. 

  He's bad without being told. I mean he has tattoos and he looks really bad in a cute way though. What if he has something bad in store for me. Hell no , I'm the driver and I'm in charge of the wheel. But he's a man and he can easily oppress me. I look at him and his eyes meet mine. I gulp , scared to death and look away. I hope I don't go to hell because of this stranger. 

" Ariel stop talking and drive this cute stranger." That's my subconsciousness. She's really different from me.

   I heave a deep breath and take the wheel. I don't even know where he's going and he didn't bother to tell me. I decided to ask.

" Where am I supposed to take you to?" He doesn't reply but looks at me with his index finger on his lips. Alright he's intimidating.

" What are you doing?" He asks after the long silence. This time it is an American accent. Why's he changing his accent? I swear it's disturbing.

" What am I doing?"

" I'm asking."

" I'm driving Mr. Stranger." I sigh and for once I regret that I'm not this type of girl who's aggressive and stubborn.

" Pull over." He says with so much order.

" What!" 

" Tinkerbell, can you please pull over?" 

" Why should I do that? I thought..." Without completing the word , my passenger already pulls the brake. I breathe in and out and look at him. Did he want to kill me?

" Let's swap seats. I'm driving this time." He says with his grey eyes not leaving mine. Wait , did I talk about his hair? Uhh...

" I can't let you drive my car." I fire. He undid his seatbelt and looked at me. 

" I'm waiting."

" I won't let you drive my car."

" This is not even a car. It's a box." He says with his British accent and I hated that it carries sarcasm.

" Don't insult my car. It's not like you have one , if not you won't be stuck in my car." I tell him as his brows furrow. 

   He snorts out a chuckle and reaches out to lift me off my seat.

" What are you doing?" I exclaim. He doesn't answer but successfully creeps underneath me to take the wheel. My butt had to gently touch his lower body and I felt humiliated, maybe because I felt weird with that contact. 

   I stumble to my passenger seat and tuck back my scattered hair. 

" What's the meaning of that?" I ask him, trying so hard to swallow whatever thing he just did.

   He starts the car and changes gear. The speed was terrible and I hopelessly slammed my head against the headrest. I turned to look at him and I could see a smirk at the corner of his lips. I think he just came out of rehab. I quickly fasten my seatbelt before I die of hypertension.

" What type of speed is this?" I ask him with a high pitched voice.

" That's how you drive a fuckin car." He scoffs. How dare he curse in my car. Now I feel unholy. How am I supposed to make heaven with such a man in my car?

" Stop cussing in my car." I say and sigh." I don't like it." 

  He chuckles, not even sparing me a glance." You're seriously fuckin with me right now , Tinkerbell." 

" You did it again. You don't curse in my car and secondly I'm not Tinkerbell."

" Alright Snow White." He says and glances at me. My heart almost froze at his smirk. He rolls his eyes and glances back at the road still in speed.

   He's weird. 

" You're weird. It's obvious you're just getting out of rehab." I utter slowly. 

  He doesn't reply and I watch how he handles my wheel.

" I'm too cute for that , Snow White." Great! From Tinkerbell to Snow White and then Ariel. 

" So what's a naive Christian doing on this side of town?" He asks and stares at me , still wearing that smirk. 

" I'm not a naive Christian . And what I'm doing on this side of town it's not your business."

" You're naive. At least this could tell." He says and points to the rosary hanging on the rearview mirror.

" Don't mock my faith."

" Why would I do that?"

" You called me naive." 

" It's the truth. This isn't 2003 and now I think I'm living backwards." He scoffs." I feel like traveling to Mars." He says with his British accent again.

" Why are you swapping accents? British accent and then American. What's with you?"

" I don't know what you're talking about." Great , this time he spoke in his obvious American accent. Why is he faking a British accent.

" You know I feel like I'm gonna burn in hell for accepting to give you a ride." 

" It's really weird you'll definitely burn in hell." He says and stops for a red light. We're at the main side of town and I don't see my house.

" Stop judging me." I scoff and look out the window.

   I feel his eyes stare at me before he continues driving again.

" You're too pretty to be this naive." My heart beat froze again. He called me pretty.  But then I remembered Freddie said the same words and took advantage of me at the end. 

   My mood changed and I was forced to bite my thumb. For some reason I'm glad I'm away from home. Away from torment and this total stranger just made me forget I've been through a lot of shit. My head began pounding a bit and I already forgot I had to take my medicine. I reach for the bottle of water in the backseat. I pull out a capsule and throw it inside my mouth before gulping down the water. I feel my driver's eyes on me. I just hope he doesn't ask what it's meant for. 

   Still holding the water, I wipe my forehead and look out the window. The sudden silence was really weird for me. I don't know about him , but he looks like a jerk. He barely cares about anything. I think that's what bad people are. 

" Ariel , don't be quick to judge." My inner woman snaps at me. I turn to look at this stranger and his grey eyes meet mine. He shakes his head slightly and focuses back on the road.

" Do you have a direction? It's Almost late and I need to be at home."

" Your mommy is gonna beat you right?" He turns to look at me and furrows his brows.

    How can he be awkwardly perfect and weird too?

" I don't know what you're talking about. And just stop talking about my religion. You don't even look like a believer." 

   He scoffs and stays silent. I roll my eyes and look out the window. I don't even know where we are or where we're going . We're far from town and I'm really scared. Is he trying to sell me or probably rape me?

" Where are we going? Where are we? I don't even see my house." I whine.

   He doesn't reply but just stares at me and looks away. Luckily he halts the car and I'm grateful I'm driving my car back to my house. Surprisingly he pulls the key out of the ignition and gets out of my car. I sigh and come out too. Of course I can't fight him. I'm this nerdy weak girl.

" Stranger , what are you doing?"

" I won't stay long. You can stay there if you want." I look in his direction and it's a coffee shop. 

   I pursue suit hopelessly and follow him inside this shop. It's not that crowded , just a few customers, maybe five. The average man behind the counter seems to shriek at the sight of this perfect tatted figure. I guess that's the Cafe owner.

" Where the fuck is my shit?" My car partner yells.

" I..." The Cafe owner stutters and it's clearly obvious he's scared of him. Yeah me too , we're not alone.

" I what? You douche ass prick got my package and you couldn't pay up. Dude, where's my shit?" How can someone cuss freely and he's still comfortable. 

      The guy tries to speak up but tatted stranger slams his head on the counter. I felt his pain cause I jolt in my position. This isn't the guy I drove with. This one is super aggressive. The customers in the coffee shop couldn't interfere. Are they scared of him? They just stare in awe.

    The coffee man gives him a bundle of money with a red face.

" I'm sorry man." He says after this weirdo collects the money and thrusts it in his pocket.

" Fuck you." He cusses and turns to look at me with his super cute smirk. He's insane. With no one ready to talk back, they returned to their businesses and I was forced to freeze on my spot.

 " You're ready to go snow white? I'm sorry Tinkerbell." I try to talk but his hands hold my arm and pull me out of the shop. I dare not restrain myself with what I saw out there. Without saying a word, I slipped inside the passenger's seat and buckle my seatbelt.

" Are you okay?" Why does he care all of a sudden?

" Yes. Thank you." I tell him as he continues driving.

   The silence was crazy and I was forced to turn the radio on. Luckily a pastor is preaching. Stranger scoffs and tunes the radio endlessly. He finally stops when he hears a pop song pop out of the radio. I wanted to ask him why he changed the radio but my mind drifted to the weirdo I saw at the coffee shop. Of course just a little snap and my ankles would be broken.

" That wasn't fair." I decided to say. He rolls his eyes and nods his head to the music. I don't listen to this type of music since I'm living with a semi pastor. I really hate myself that my dad had to be demoted because of me.

" Are you always that aggressive?" Why do I even care? He's a stranger and we're never gonna meet again. Just like I picture , he doesn't reply. I sigh and slump back on the seat. 

"You just moved in right?" He asks. Thought he has gone automatically dumb.

"Why do you care?"

"You're too pretty to be around this side of town." I sigh and cross my arms. 

   I don't reply but just watch how he handles my wheel. He relaxes a bit and runs his hand down his messy hair. The sides of his hair and back are a bit low as curly strands are everywhere. His eyes snap me out of my trespassing as he raises his brows with a heart melting smirk.

"What?" I ask him.

"Stop checking me out like you wanna eat me. It's rude to stare." I huff and bite the inside of my cheek. Now he's gonna think I'm interested in him. 

"What makes you think I was checking you out?" I raise my brows and lean against my window to look at him properly.

"It's fine. I was checking you out too. Nice sweaters." What an asshole.

    I glue my face to the window to hide my blush.

   I'm tired at the same time I'm not tired. My house is filled with ranting parents. Parents who find joy in making you look useless. The car stops as this stranger gets out. He didn't pull the key out this time. I got out and surprisingly I saw two cars. Not just any type of car . I might be a nerd but I can easily tell if I spot an expensive car. One is a red Lamborghini and the other a Bentley. 

   I watch the stranger strides to the Bentley as one of the men on black suits gives him a champagne bottle. 

" Seriously..." I say.

He turns around and smirks at me.

" You're okay?" He asked me.

" Is that your thank you?" I ask not even remembering the men in suits who stand beside the two expensive cars. I feel like hiding my car in my pants pocket.

   He rolls his eyes as one of the guys opens the back door of the Bentley as he enters inside. The suit man shuts the door and I watch the car drive away.

   What type of man is that?

    Today's the weirdest day of my life. Driving a total cute stranger who ended up entering such an expensive car. I blink my eyes in bafflement and drive back home. It's almost evening and I'm really sure a lot awaits me once I get home. I halt the car in the garage and get out ready to face my parents' uneasy troubles. " And where are you coming from?" Dad asks once I enter the living room. I stuck both my hands in my back pocket and looked at both of them intensely. What am I supposed to tell them? " Ariel." Mom glares snapping at me. " I took a ride around the city."

    I nervously rub my already sweaty palms against my arms. I'm nervous as usual and the funny part is, he's smoking a cancer stick. He Inhales the stick , purring out the smoke through his nostrils. I cough, giving him space since his cigarette is still stuck in his mouth." My bad." He takes it out and throws the blunt on the floor before stepping on it , squeezing his shoe on it." We're cool?" He asks and raises his brows.I don't reply but stare at his eyes. I already lost my breath. It's so annoying he makes me nervous." You really don't have to keep

    "What did you do to me ?" I sob silently. His cold stare is not leaving me and I'm about to freeze up. How can I be so stupid to drink that cocktail whatever. " What did you do? Why am I wearing your clothes?" I ask. I'm standing in front of him and he barely looks away. " I don't know what you're talking about." " What do you mean? Why would I wake up in your bed dressed in your clothes? How could you touch me?" " What?" He smirks. " Are you trying to tell me you won't be able to know if someone touched you?" He asks and that rings a bell.

    " Ariel..." I heard dad's voice this time. I know I'm good as dead. I quickly slip on my pajamas bottoms with a t-shirt and rush downstairs. " Dad." " What's this? Chatting with your boyfriend?" Mom asks, glaring at me and showing me the screen of my phone. Even if I really can't clearly see the writings on my phone , I know what she's talking about. " What did we tell you about discipline?" Dad roars. " I.. it's not what you think." I stutter. " It's not what we think? What do you want us to think? That last night you went out to party , then you got drunk and you drove home with a total stranger and you slept with him . Ariel you

    I shove the phone in my bag and walk inside our house. Mom and dad are having dinner with Leslie. They seem happy. They talked and laughed and it's really great. I ignored them and walked past them but mom stopped me. "Your dinner is served." " Thanks mom." I reply and rush upstairs. I toss my bag on my bed and climb downstairs to eat. I've been starving and I didn't even notice. I sit close to Leslie and pick out a fork to eat after praying. " So sinners do pray ?" Mom teases, drinking her glass of juice. I secretly roll my eyes and continue eating. " So how are you enjoying your job at Sandy's ?" Dad asked.

    We stopped kissing but that didn't break us from that sudden drama. He leans his forehead against mine as his eyes meet mine. And that was when I got back my senses. I just kissed a boy , not just a guy , but a tatted stranger Gray. I flinch and move away from him. He smirks and shoves his hands in his pockets. I wanted to speak but my eyes couldn't help but check him out. Even if I was a nerdy depressed introvert , I could obviously tell when I see an absolutely pretty person. He was one of those. His toned self would make any normal girl lick him all over. But I wasn't that normal girl. " Why did you do it ?" I stutter. " You liked it." Of course I don't. Or maybe I do. " We should stop this , please. I re

    Gray looks at me before walking out of the restaurant with his order. Alexa squealed with a victory dance and that made some customers chatter amongst themselves. Leslie faked a smile and giggled. " That was sudden." " That's how to get a boy. Learn from the best." " So what are you gonna do when he calls you?" Leslie asks. "We booked a hotel and..." She wiggle her brows and smile. " What if he doesn't call you?" I choose to ask. "He will. Everyone likes a good pussy." She winks and drinks her coffee. I feel weird like

    "Are you okay?" I blink my eyes open and I'm in my room. I sit up at once and rub my temple. Alexa was beside me while mom, dad and Leslie just watched. "When did you start having a panic attack?" Dad asks and crosses his arms. "I don't know. I'm fine." "Have you gone to therapy lately?" Alexa asks as she touches my forehead. "Yeah. Guys I'm fine. Thank God that crazy argument is over. I should be looking forward to starting college." I sigh and rub my nape. Mom breathed in as she walked out with dad. Who knew they care this much about me. Leslie faked a smile and followed them.

  • Until I Met You   EPILOGUE

    SIX YEARS LATER I drop my car key on the kitchen counter and run my hands down my hair. Being a mom is so difficult and hard. Haven is always getting into one trouble or another. Last week, his teacher reported him for getting into a fight with an older kid. Gray is barely bothered. ” Look mom , I’m sorry.” Haven whines as he follows me. ” Go to your room.” I turn around and glare at him. Today , he got into another fight because the eight years old kid called him names. He’s got a terrible temper. One I’ve never seen before. Gray wasn’t like this or maybe Gray was worse when growing up. I remembered he said he got kicked out of several highschool because of his fighting and I can’t withstand seeing Haven being kicked out. I squat to his height and run my hand down his black hair. He looks like Gray. Same grey colored orbs. Hair and even his father’s facials. ” Haven , you don’t fight at school, it's wrong

    Chapter 110 " What's up with you Ariel?" Piper beams as I slide into the booth next to Brandon. Piper and Alexa sit across from us at our usual restaurant ' sands and winches'. It's been a long time since we hung out together in this restaurant. All thanks to life. " I've been good." I say with a big smile as I arrange my yellow sundress. " What's up with you guys? I swear I miss college so much." I sigh and bite my bottom lip. " Fuck college. It's just been the same boring shit. How are you holding up with online classes?" Brandon asks. " It's been great." I say.

    CHAPTER 109 |•GRAY•| I still can't believe what I'm seeing. I battled death for over six months and when I finally won , I decided to check on the one girl who makes me happy and she's pregnant. Like fully pregnant. How can she do that? " You're pregnant?" I ask her. She stares at me like I'm a ghost and I can't fight back the anger that I had to come check on her the moment I was okay and she's pregnant. Who the fuck got her pregnant? Cage? Or maybe some dimwit. " Who the fuck got you pregnant?" " You're serious?" She asks me. It hurts me that she's barely concerned about my reaction to finding her pregnant after waking up from a six months coma. " Ariel, who got you pregnant?" I ask her. " I'm sorry." She simply states. " You're sorry? Ariel you're pregnant and you're saying you're sorry. I was in a co

    Chapter 108 Six months later… " Dear God, I wanna say that I'm grateful for everything that you've done for me. I wanna appreciate the fact that you looked after me and Gray junior, I totally appreciate that. I've sinned against you and I'm sorry. I just wanna ask the same favor I've been asking for the past six months. Please bring Gray back. I want him back…" I sniffle and look down at my baby bump. " His baby wants him back. Please. I know that he has done a lot of stuff. Bad stuff , yes, but please he's a good man. It's been six months now and I'm still asking you for this little favor. I want Gray back, please, God." I weep silently and bite my lip. I look up at Jesus on the cross and look down at my belly. Dad walks beside me and wraps his arms around my shoulder to comfort me. He woke up from a coma five months ago and Gray's still missing. The first month , I always hoped. Stand opposite my

    CHAPTER 107 ” Oh my God…” I groan and rush into my bathroom to throw up. I rest both hands on the edge of the sink and puke out whatever thing I ate. What is this called, baby sickness? I breathe in and out and look up at my reflection. ” You’re okay in there?” Alexa calls out. ” Yeah. I’m just having baby sickness I think.” ” Baby sickness? What the fuck is that?” Alexa asks and walks into the bathroom. I turn on the faucet to let it rinse out my vomit as I wash my hands. ” I think it’s because of Alejandro. We killed someone.”” Seriously? You regret that now?” She asks. I turn off the tap and turn to look at her. ” I didn’t mean that. Maybe it upset the baby.” I shrug as she chuckles. I laugh and walk to her as we walk out of the bathroom to my room. I remove my peacoat and toss it on the couch. Alexa pushes the drapes aside to reveal the city below. ” Damn. That was crazy.

    CHAPTER 106 I sit opposite Alexa on the kitchen stool as she goes about her plan on Alejandro. My phone rings and I pick it up from the countertop. My heartbeat stops at the caller ID. Oh God, what am I supposed to tell her? " What? Who's that?" " Mia." " Holy fuck." She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. " What am I supposed to tell her? I'm just gonna break it once I hear her voice. She's obviously gonna ask me where Gray is and I'll start crying again." I say. I haven't talked to her and I'm about to sob. " Just calm down and act normal." I nod and take several deep breaths as I answer the call. " Oh my God Ariel. How are you?" She asks on the phone. I inhale and sigh. I wipe a tear that slip out of my eyes at once. " I'm good, Mia. How are you?" " I'm fine. How's the baby? Hope you're eating well? Pregnancy is worse than a heavy toll.

    CHAPTER 105 " Emergency! Someone's getting a panic attack!" The voice is muffled and I barely can hear anything. I lay on a stretcher as I'm pushed down the hospital's hallway. I watch the ceilings pass by as I try to breathe. I can't breathe. Everything is blurry as the stretcher continues to move. Two paramedics surround me , talking non-stop and giving me promises that I'll be fine. The next minute, I'm in a room with doctors and nurses trying to give me treatments. Gray's been shot. I can't even think of losing Gray without telling him he's gonna be a father soon. " What's happened to Gray?" I choke out as a nurse tries to press me back down to steady my breathing. " Someone get her an oxygen mask!" The doctor yells. " She needs a tranquilizer..." The doctor mutters and snaps at another nurse. I feel my hands tremb

    CHAPTER 104 |•GRAY•| This is so fuckin crazy. I can't imagine sitting across from Sinclair to eat dinner in some fancy restaurant. This is so fucked up. I'm pretty sure we're both gonna flip and cause a scene. Why did he have to be her father? I watch her get up from my lap as she smiles triumphantly. I bet she did a victory dance in her head. Oh man. The doorbell rings at once. She smiles and walks to the door. Probably the delivery guy who's here to deliver the food she ordered. My phone rings and I retrieve it. Reid's name displays on my screen as I swipe the answer icon. " Hey dick." He says once I pickup. " Seriously?" I scoff. I hear Ariel converse with the delivery guy and they are taking too long. " What are you doing?" He asks and i roll my eyes. I'm still stressed abo

    CHAPTER 103 " Ariel, I'd rethink my decisions if I were you…" Alexa says as I bring out the pills from the drawers. " When did you buy these?" She asks. " Two days after I discovered I was pregnant." She sighs and sits on the bed. " You know when Leslie was pregnant, you hated the fact that she had to terminate the baby. You can't play that same role you talked about." I sigh and turn around on my seat to look at her. " But Gray doesn't want a baby." " Both of you produced Junior. You both had sex like every other partners and boom there comes a baby. You're gonna tell him that you're pregnant. If he freaks out and tells you to get rid of it , then it's fine." " Oh God."
