Her Dynamic Events

Chapter 28

Flashback

"Nate where are you? You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago." I answered my phone in a panic.

"I'm sorry love, I'm stuck in traffic, there's been some kind of accident but Damien is on his way. He is closer to your location anyway. Just wait in your car and keep the doors locked." Nate informed me.

"You called Damien! I don't really know him Nate and besides he kinda freaks me out." I groaned feeling abit uncomfortable that another man was coming to help me instead of Nate.

"He's coming to help you not kidnap you." Nate chuckle at my slight panic.

"Ok but are you sure he won't mind? I'm sure he has a million better things to do." I murmured.

"Love, you over think too much. Damien won't mind. I'll see you later at home ok." he shrugged me off.

"Ok, I'll see you at home. I love you." I smiled into the phone.

"Hmm, bye." he quickly replied before cutting my call. My smile fell instantly. He never says it back and I don't know why. It stung my heart everytime he did that, feeling some sort of unspoken rejection. Then again I may be over thinking things. Nate always tells me that I do that alot and maybe he is right but I never could muster up the courage to ask why he never tells me he loves me. Sometimes I wonder if he still does.

I sat in my car waiting for Damien with my head against the headrest. I closed my eyes, listening to the subtle pitter-patter of rain drops splattering against the windscreen. Relaxing in the ambience of the roadside forest. Nature aways had a way of calming my anxiety with it's euphony.

The sound of a car rushing past me caused my eyes to jolt open thinking it may be Damien but the car drove far ahead and pulled off the side of the road. The driver dumped a black bag and then sped off. I found that to be the strangest thing I ever saw. 'Why would someone dump their garbage in the middle of a forest?' I thought. Until I saw the bag move. My eyes flickered wider. The bag kept moving and wiggling, clearly it's contents were alive.

I got out of my car and ran over to the bag. The closer I got the louder the muffled sounds became until I could hear it clearly. It was tiny meows, I dropped to my knees realizing it was kittens, I ripped open the bag and my heart instantly melted at the sight of 3 adorable little kittens. I scooped them up in my jacket not wanting them to get wet and carried them back to my car. I placed them on the back seat before shutting the door. As I turned around to get back into the drivers seat, I knocked into someone and slipped, my behind aching in agony as it collided with the road.

"Ooowww!" I wailed while rubbing my backside.

"Need a hand?" a deep voice suddenly asked.

I looked up slowly, trailing my eyes up the figure before me. Damien stood there with his hand extended to me. My eyes flickered between his hand and his face.

"Well? Are you just going to sit there?" he asked again, snapping me out of my trance. I put my hand in his, allowing him to effortlessly lift me up. My face was level with his chest and I had to lift head to look up at him. His dark orbs appeared almost black as his gaze met mine, freezing me in place. His scowl made him look daunting and I instantly averted my gaze.

"Uhm, s..sorry." I mumbled, shoving my frozen hands in my pockets.

"Nate said you needed help. And the tow truck won't be here for at least another hour." he spoke as he turned away to look at my flat tyre, crouching down as he inspected it.

"You got a spare?" he suddenly asked without looking at me.

"Y..yeah. In the boot. I'll go get it." I walked towards the back of my car and opened my boot. I had begun to reach for the spare when I felt his large hand on my arm pulling me back, startling me by the sudden contact. He stood there for a moment with his head bent low, gazing at me with the same dark scowl as before.
