Wounded (A Story By Penshalom) - Season 1 - Episode 5

A WEEK LATER

I was just getting out of the office going to the bus stop when a car horned at me repeatedly.

I stopped and looked inside when the window rolled down.


"Hello beautiful"

"Mr. Mark" I exclaim, surprised.


"It's Mark. Where are you off to?"

"Home"


"Where's home?"


"Close to Greenpark"


"Sorry, I don't know where that is"


"Oh right, you are new in town"


"Get in, I'll drop you off. "


"But it might not be in the direction you are going to"


"Doesn't matter. I'll go wherever you want"


"But..."


"Just get in"


I get in the car and he drives off.


"I'm glad I saw you today"


"Uh, why? "


"I've just been wanting to see you"


That brought a smile on my face but I try to wipe it off my face.


"Uh, why?"


"You just seem like someone I can relate with"


"Oh okay"


"Turn to the right please."


"That's my house, the one painted in peach"


"Okay"


We arrive at my house.


"Wow, your house is nice"


"Thank you"


It became awkward for some minutes.


"Do you want to come in?"


"No, I have to get back to Fred, he'll be worried"


Fred is my boss's name.


"Okay then"


I open the door.


"Can I have your number?"


"What?" I ask stupidly.


"Your number"


"Why?"


"Well.. I need your help, I want to move to my
own apartment and I need a lady's advice, you know, the interior decoration and all"


"You are moving here?"


"Yes.. I got transferred here"


"Oh, okay. Your phone"


He gives me the phone and I type in my number.

"Thanks. Sweet dreams Rose"


Hearing my name from his lips made my heart skip a beat.


"Good night, M..Mark"


I step out immediately.


As soon as I enter, I breathe out, not knowing I've been holding my breath.


Oh God, is this actually happening?
