Chapter

15

It was a late Friday night. I was reading a book in my bed when I heard something smash downstairs. 1 set the book down and got out of bed. My heart was beating hard in my chest. Was that a burglar? Was Į about to die tonight? Well, my life wasn't fantastic, and death

I unplugged the lamp beside my bed and opted for not wearing slippers as I made my way downstairs. It was a bit dark, but I could still see. The moment I reached the bottom of the stairs, Julian appeared out of nowhere in front of me, making me scream. I almost hit him v

lamp, bur he quickly held my hand, preventing me from doing so.

"It's just me! I'm Julian," he repeated that twice until I calmed down.

"I heard something break, so I came to check. I thought there was a burglar or something, I mumbled, placing my hand over my chest,

"You were going to fight a burglar with a lamp?" He chuckled, making me roll my eyes at him. He took it from me and set it on a table nearby, then kissed my forehead, making me smile. "Sorry for scaring you. Laccidentally knocked something on my way upstairs."

I looked at what he was wearing and gave him a look of confusion. He was in black pants, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket. He looked bot. Super hot. Why did he have a helmet with him! I didn't even know that he owned a bike, "Where were you" I wondered,

"From whom?" I frowned.

"My parents" He gave me a sheepish smile.

"May Lask why?" I was curious to know

"When I was eighteen, I had an accident with my old bike and Mum made me promise them I wouldn't ride a bike again," he told me.

"Looks like somebody has broken their promise." I smirked.

"What can I say? I love the thrill." He grinned.

"I will keep your secret under one condition." I folded my arms.

"And what is your condition?" He leaned against the wall.

"You have to take me on a ride at least once every two weeks I exclaimed, making him laugh.
