"Feel free and make yourself at home" Ryan said as they both stepped foot in.

This was the first time she actually looked around his house.
he had a nice decor, his house was really comfortable for a man who knew how make his house feel lively.

"why don't you get a seat while I go get the first aid kit" with a cheeky smile on his face again.

"you can get an orange juice from the freezer while you are at it, I'm craving one right now" Anna said as she took a sit. Ryan laughed as he disappeared from her sit.

"so can you tell me where u learn those quick reflexed move from?" he questioned Anna as he he cleaned the scratch on her palm.
Anna had the urge to pull her hand away but she sighed and told him she had to learn some to protect herself around where she grew up.

Ryan noticed the shift in the atmosphere. Then he pulled her cheek and made her whimper.

"where was that reflex I saw you had?" he questioned as he moved back to a safer distance.

"Why don't you come closer and let me show you" she said as she glared at him.. She wasn't expecting him to had done that she wanted to strangle his neck.

"fine calm down tigress let me be done with your palm" he moved closer cautiously as her glare didn't change.

He cleaned up her palm and when he was done he asked her to pay for it.

"Well I didn't ask you to bring me over did I?"

"but you came willingly, so cab fare and services that two hundred dollars young lady" he said motioning her to pay.

"you know, you are really annoying" she said as she grabbed her phone to transfer but she couldn't because she had reached her limit for that day.

She glared at her phone burning holes through it. Ryan flicked her forehead drawing her attention back to him.

"ow" she rubbed her forehead and directed her glare back at him.

"you know that hurts, is it part of the service"

"yea for the special guest" Ryan said, smiling. "So where is my pay".

"I promise to pay tomorrow, I've reached my limit for today" she told him as she sighed.

"well, you can also pay in another way" he said as his eyes ran over her body.

"you pervert" Anna quickly made a protective shield over her body.

"wait that's not what I meant!" he defended himself.

She reached for a near by vase and threw it at him. Ryan caught it on impulse as he tried to explain himself.

"I was sizing you up if you could fit in the made cloth I had" he caught another vase as he kept explaining himself and saving his head.

"Yea that why you had to look at me lewdly, pervert!" she flung a cushion pillow at him this time.

"would you calm down woman and let me explain" having had a enough of her outrage, Ryan moved closer to her to stop her from harming any of his stuff.

On impulse she pushed Ryan and Ryan, also on impulse try to hold something to steady himself caught her arm and they both fell down with her on him.

She was glad she went for therapy session on dealing with men and blaming them less for what the "sex offender" did to her. She would have lost it earlier and maybe woken up in a hospital. She would hate anyone to see her that way, pathetic.

Silence fell open the two adults and for some brief moment they both stared at each other.
"Beautiful" Ryan taught as A little smile appeared on his face, totally immersed in her beauty. He loved her caramel future and how it reflected the light that was emanating.

Anna was still at first and concluded he looked nothing like the oaf she had once called him. She held her breath as she saw his hand coming upward towards her face. She panicked a little and at that moment her phone ranged.

Perfect timing Anna taught silently as she awkwardly stood up from him and coughed then reached for her phone.

"where the hell are you" Jeanelle screamed immediately as Anna answered.

Her ear got assaulted and she pulled away from the phone. She looked at Ryan questioning face before turning around.

"nelle I'm fine, nothing happened, just met a friend and I'm on my way home"  Anna reassured her.

After the phone call Anna told Ryan she wanted to go home.

"is she your girlfriend or something" he jokingly asked when matter of fact, he wanted to know the real answer.

"yea she probably is "  Anna taught as she eye rolled. But she understood where she's coming from, so of course she appreciated Jeanelle. She was her only family.

"haven't paid for my services, if you leave now I'm not collecting money anymore." Ryan said as he instinctively grabbed his key thinking of dropping her "you need to go repair my garden" 

"fine next time."  Anna mindlessly said without thinking.

"let me drop you off, you would pay when you bring my garden back to life" Ryan said smirking as he gestured for her to get in.

"fine" Anna sighed and got into his car.

On reaching her home, nelle was waiting outside for Anna and she stood up when a foreign car stopped at the get.

Ryan refused dropping Anna at a stop where she could get taxi and insisted on driving her home.

When Anna got down Jeanelle rushed to her and hugged her. "you scared me. I taught his got you already"

"Don't be silly and I'm fine" Anna reassured her again.

After that Jeanelle grabbed her ears and pulled it hard yelling she could have called and told her where she was going since they both went to the club together.

Ryan watched all this drama unfold and left him amazed. The girls had totally forgot about him and where having there moment.

He honked at them and they both screamed finally drawing there attention back to him.

He came out of the car and Anna introduced each other and this time with his name.

"hey look isn't it that oaf guy, what where you doing with him" Jeanelle said as she recognized him then smiled cheeky at Anna.  Anna rolled her eyes at Jeanelle and wish she could smack her head.
