Jerk. He's a jerk. That's what he's to me now.

"so are you just gonna stand there" damn the nerve of this guy, how can be nice to me just a few hours ago and be like this now.

" you know if you're just gonna stand there and do nothing I'll just leave you then"

Then he started walking again, in quite rage I followed him yanking his arm to face me.

"seriously what's the matter with you"

"what do you mean?" him asking as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about , my patience is slowly slipping away

"are you sick or something?"

"you're not making any sense"

"well nice to know that, because so are you and here's the thing if it's a bother to you to drive me back, fine! I can go on my own, JERK!"

Marching back to the car grabbing my luggage, and started walking away. I'll look at my wristwatch it's only 8 in the evening, if I can find any cab or something to bring me back to the city, I'll fly out quickly. Becuse right now I can't stay here for another day.


But damn I don't where the heck I am?, and I've been walking for half an hour now but it seems I'm not going anywhere.

I heard the faint sound of footsteps behind me, I turned and and there he is following me, picking up my pace, but he's getting nearer. I whipped up to face him.

"why are you following me?!"

"why do you think?" cocking his head to the side

"will you just stop, you can't make stay here, whatever you'll do or say, so just leave me alone right now, and go on"

But he's just stood there looking at me.

"stop wasting my time" I started walking again, but he went infront of me blocking my way, with a determined look in his face

"but you can't go"

"damn it , will you just fck off!" and for a second, pain crossed his eyes but then it was gone

"and I told you, you're my responsibility now, so you'll have to do what I say"

"well sorry to burst your bubble but you're not the boss of me, so I won't do what you say not now, not ever"

We didn't notice how close we'd go to each other, until we stopped talking

"if you keep on being hard-headed go on, see if you can get out of this place at this hour, when no modes of transportation passes by this place, well you can walk if you can"

He turned around then, while I looked around weighing my decision, but he's right I'm too tired to walk now. And this place looks deserted, making it look much farther than it seems. I run to catch up on him, I don't have a choice now.


"so if I did come with you now, do I have your word that you'll gonna drive me back first thing tomorrow?"

He stopped in his tracks then and turned to face me, an emotion I can't quite figure out

"you know what I said -" I hold up my arms cutting off what he's gonna say

"no buts or whatsoever from you, and as I told you again you can't make me stay here so it's just a yes from you"

Silence engulf us, but his shoulders slumped , a sign of defeat

"fine you win, let's head back now"

"see if you just agreed with me , we could've avoided all this ruckus and save ourselves from all this waste of time" he murmured something I didn't understand

He just walked in front me in silence, a few minutes we've reached the place where we left the car, I was about to get in , when he said something

"we're not using that to ge there"

"what" quite confused then

"we'll be riding a horse to reach the farm and before you complain my men are already ontheir way, we'll just have to wait for them"

"who says I'm complaining?'"

Bu he ignored me, as what he said a few minutes two men riding a horse stopped a few meters away from us, they dismounted and went to greet him, they talked for a few minutes, after that he went near me

" as you can see there's just two horses so we'll be riding together, as for your things they'll just bring it later to the house" I just nodded "let's go then"

I went near one, and slowly petting his head

"this one's a lot nicer than you" I blurted out

"whatever"

He helped me up then which surprised me a little, after that he followed , I tried moving away from him when he got too close

"stop moving"

"then don't get too close" I replied sneering at him

"why are you afraid to be close to me?"

"why would I be?"

"then explain why are your hands shaking?" he said while looking at it

"shut up" I heard a laugh from him, stoling a glance he has this proud smirk on his face

He made the horse run then, but it was too fast

"can you slow it down"

"sorry but no" I didn't argue more, let it be, exhaustion and sleepiness getting to her , the moon her last vision before her eyes closed


***

She woked up in unfamiliar room, not knowing how did she got there. And that he broke his promise to her.
