4 Chapter 4: Getting "Help" (1/2)

Alex looked out of the window of the cab as he stared at the passing buildings and people, ”I can't thank you enough for this Anna,” said Alex as he turned to Anne sitting next to him in the cab.

Anne just smiled at him and said, ”Well, couldn't have you wondering London penniless now could I. Besides this way you'll ow me one”, winking at him as she finished her sentence.

...

After boarding the ship, Alex spend a few days on it before it finally reached port, during this he befriended Anne and they got along well, realizing that Alex didn't have a penny to his name and his home being in Japan, she offered to give him a place to stay at her apartment. Alex was first quite against it since he was planning on flying over as a dragon but after a few rounds of persuasion coupled with a few threats and promises he eventually caved and agreed, which led to his current predicament.

...

”Yeah, ow you one,” Alex said with a bitter smile only to be rewarded with a fierce gaze from Anne as she asked, ”Come again”, ”Nothing, nothing” Alex quickly answered. ”That's what I thought,” said Anne with a snort.

”What did I do to deserve this, I just wanted to quickly head to my home, how did I end up like this, and why is this woman so hung up on helping me,” Alex thought as he sneakily peaked at Anne who was just sitting there with a smile while humming. ”Oh god, why is she humming and what's with that smile, she's thinking something, I can't fall into her trap, I've got to keep it together.” Alex thought.

...

Finally arriving at what seemed to be the building in which Anne rented her apartment, Alex shook his head to clear it of all the bullshit he was thinking and with a wry smile, he got out of the car. Looking at the building he couldn't say it was lavish yet it wasn't a dump either it was just... average.

After looking for a while he heard Anna yelling at him, ”Are you just gonna stand there or help me”, turning around he saw Anna pulling some luggage from the trunk of the cab's trunk. Alex quickly went to help only to find two ginormous bags left. Alex stared at it for a while before look at Anne carrying a little bag and then back at the two large bags, he could help but think ”Why the fuck does she have so much stuff”.

Anne paid the cab driver then turned to Alex only to find him standing there doing nothing, quite irritated by now, she shouted at him, ”Well, don't just stand there take the bags out” and then sighed afterward, ”Honestly”.
