*Molly's Pov*

It was weird staying with a total stranger who didn't demand for your details because you claim it causes you pain. That's my situation now. I stay with this guy who almost knocked me down two weeks ago. Nobody knows my whereabouts because my phone was off. This strange guy only cares about the fact that I am okay and nothing else. No questions like everyone else.

I don't know when to leave his place because I wasn't ready to face the world. Jeff whom I considered as a best friend jilted me infront of everyone and insulted me too because his girlfriend told him to do so. I put some rice on fire before going upstairs for a cold shower. The lights were out and the heat was not skin friendly at all. Halfway through my shower I smelt the rice. My rice was roasting. I rushed through the shower and got down in a towel to attend to the food.

"Ouch" I screamed and dropped it.

"What is wrong?" Alex asked from behind me.

I started screaming, i was surprised. He doesn't come back this early. I was completely naked under the towel. I bent to clear the mess i had made.

"Won't it be better if you got dressed first?"

I didn't know if that was a question or suggestion. Whichever one it was I decided to dress up first. I tried to get up and boom, my head hit the table.

"Ouch" I fell on my butt.

Alex came closer and helped me up. Just when I turned around to go I felt him pull me back. I was expecting to explode as usual but nothing happened.

I was curious, I am supposed to react negatively to his touch but no. I was expecting more. I should have pushed him away but this feeling was new. I wanted to know how it will end. He turned me to face him and all that happened next was shocking, I felt his lips on mine. My eyes were closed and I was waiting to explode. This is the first time in a long that that a man is touching me intimately. I felt things I couldn't explain move inside me and I wanted more of him. I leaned in and reciprocated.

He lifted me bridal style and took me to his bedroom. I was just anticipating what would happen. He made sweet love to me and for the first time in life I realized what I have been missing. Falling asleep in his bed was the last thing I wanted to do but I was so exhausted I didn't have a choice.
