Chapter 2 - Crazy stranger of a man. (1/2)

...He smiled. She lost it...

Damn, I have to start going out more she thought in her head as she finally said looking at the chicken in his hand.

”It's mine, I had it first.” She took a breath in. ”I'm sorry for dropping it down again but I do need it.” she sounded calm now.

”What makes you think i don't need it more?” he replied even more casual than she expected.

She frowned as she brain stormed and analyzed the situation unfolding. She could feel her annoyance rising.

”Well, too bad I'm not thinking of that nor do I need to think of why you need it more, it Is mine and if you would kindly drop it in my shopping cart, I'd be out of your hair or whatever expression works better for you.” She had said so much and she knew it. This was how she was, especially when she meets someone new.

”Who said you are meeting someone new?” her mind replied. ”Traitor” she thought back.

”I'd give it back on one condition.”

”Why should I have to bargain, I owned it first, its mine.”

Definitely stubborn he thought .

”I'd join you for dinner.” he finished, ignoring what she had just said.

”I'm sorry what, what!!! she scuffed.

”Aren't you cooking dinner? he asked with a little smile on his face.

Was she dreaming? No, no way all the stress she felt today was a dream.

”Live a little.” her mind told her and she said, ”Okay, fine. I'd let you join me for dinner even if this might be the biggest mistake of both of our lives but since you think it is a smart thing to have dinner with a stranger who could so easily poison you, let's do it.” she was talking too much again.

”I can't wait” he said as he dropped the chicken he held into her cart and waited.

He was more shocked at his actions than she would ever be.

”What are you doing?”

”Waiting on you to lead the way Miss” he replied holding his trolley filled with a lot of groceries.

She turned on her heels, forgetting the ice cream she had wanted to pick and walked to the cashier. Since he had a lot of groceries to pay for, she was sure he would spend at least 5 minutes to get cleared and that would be her moment to escape.

So she walked out the mall as fast as her skinny legs could carry her to find out it was dark out. It was about to rain. She ran to the bus stop to wait on a taxi and luck was nowhere on her side today as she stood under the shelter of the bus stop asking herself why did she have to argue with a stranger about chicken!

A black Rolls Royce pulled over and a man got out from the driver's seat with an umbrella and walked right to where she was standing, as he got close and closed the umbrella, she noticed he was the chicken man again.

”Where are we headed?” Su Yan asked.

”Did you follow me?”

”No.” he replied in same tone she had asked him

”What do you want?” she asked more seriously this time.

”Dinner.” he said and smiled a little.
