Chapter 1 HERO

I was seated there at the club lounge, gulping drinks like my life depended on them. The party was blur with dimmed lights, the music blasting my ears but it all felt good, if not better than home.

The laughter, the dance, the alcohol, I was having fun.

Soon the music became boring, I felt the urge to go home, my head was aching. I turned around to search for Maya but she was nowhere to be found.

I decided to head home without her. "She is an adult she can find her way back." I murmured.

I dragged my drunk self through the crowded room.

"Leave my way" I cursed at everyone who stood in my way.

I found the door, I checked my pulse for phone, took it out. I saw several missed calls.

"Son of bitch I cursed". I was wreaked of Alcohol.

I staggered through the road, dragging myself home. I was hoping to get a taxi soon.

The night was cold and breezy. The road was lonely for a young drunk spinster like me.

I walked carefully as fear engulfed me, I suddenly wished I had stayed back and waited for Maya.

I clanged to sweater for warmth as it was the only thing that could comfort me.

I was few miles away from the club when suddenly I felt a hand gripped me. I panicked and tried to

Break free the grip but it was strong. They hushed me and tried to make their way through me.

I called them the night monsters. Stories about them and what they do to their victims have been

flying round the town. I put up a fight with them. Obviously, I couldn't out beat them.

I screamed for help!

Suddenly a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows. "Leave her alone!"

His voice was deep and soft.

They scoffed at this figure, as they headed towards him. Soon they were all wincing in pain on the

ground.

"Get out!" He ordered.

They scampered away for their lives. Whoever this was; He was skilled.

He fought with ease. His movements were swift and precise.

"My hero" I murmured still drunk.

"Are you okay?" He asked, helping me up.

I nodded still dazed. "Will you marry me"?

He looked at me with a smile on his face. "You are drunk fella".

"Let me take you home". He offered, his voice was gentle and soothing. It sounded like that of a girl.

I hesitated, of course I won't stranger take me in his arms but then I thought to myself.

"He just saved your ass bitch". I gave in.

He scooped me up and headed towards his vehicle. I fell as sleep in his arms, it was warm and soft.

I woke up next on his couch. I felt a slight headache as I stood up trying to figure out where I was and

how I got there, then the memories of what happened 1hour ago came running back. I was in my

hero's apartment.

The lights were turned on. "You are awake." Are you usually this drunk and careless? He asked with

no emotions on his face as he went in to his room. There was something off about him.

I was just there stunned; his apartment was beautiful. I admired the sleek, modern space filled with

art work.

My eyes widened as I took in the painting on his wall. Beautiful, naked women, their curves and

breasts masterfully captured. A portrait captured my attention.

I moved towards it when his voice distracted me.

"What are you doing?"

"Your paintings are pretty." I complimented.

"Thank you." He muttered.

He made me sit on the couch, gave me a pill for the hangover and started tending to my wounds

with a gentle touch. His fingers brushed against mine, sending shivers down my spine.

I stared at him as he nursed me back to health. He looked up at me.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded positively and he continued.

His eyes were pretty. They sparkled like diamonds. He looked up at me again to make sure he wasn't

causing much pain. Our eyes locked, I could hear my heart beat fast.

"Who are you?" I suddenly summoned courage breaking the awkward silence between us.

He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"That's weird." I thought to myself.

"I'm Estella." He responded, his voice low and husky.

I gasped, my eyes widening in shock.

"Estella?"

"Yes Estella; is there a problem?"

"Nah." I said faking a smile on my face.

He could sense the confusion on my face. He took off his black hoodie. I was astonished.

The mysterious hero I thought was a man it's a Lady!

My jaw dropped.

Lots of questions came running to my mind. How was it possible that out took four men with ease?

She is one hell of a hero. I wanted to ask her to teach me her skills but I kept the silly thoughts to

myself.

She let her messy blonde hair drop on her shoulders. She swung her hair which gave me a clearer

view of her face.

Damn!

She is pretty!

Her chocolate skin glowed in the light.

Her eyes were magical, she looked like a siren. In fact, a Goddess.

I drooled.

She saw how astonished I was and smiled.

"Are you okay?"

Ye..ah, I am. My voice trembled.

She took my breath away. I stared closely at her as she took care of my legs.

Our eyes met again and I felt a spark of attraction.

Her eyes
