Chapter 5 All wet and stranded

He got inside his car and roared it to life and then zoomed off... All he needed was a cup of whiskey.

As Lorraine Walked on the streets, she started regretting lashing out at Dylan.

The worst part about her getting angry and lashing out to people is that she feels bad about it later and regrets it.

She took a few more steps and suddenly heard the sound of thunder and she definitely knew what was coming next.

A down pour of rain.

She looked around and didn't find any bus stops or any place she could be shielded from the rain

Her mind ran in a million circles

How would she get away from the rain?

How would she get a place to sleep tonight?

Should she go beg her former boss?

These thoughts ran through her head when all of a sudden without warning the rain poured and started to drench her so badly.

"it's official... Today is the worst day of my life" she huffed as she continued walking.

Thank God her stuff were still at her apartment. Lewis allowed her to keep them there for a day.

No car was passing by and she was just few blocks away from Dylan's company

The rain was getting heavier and she was getting Cold

She heard the sound of a car all of a sudden behind her and turned around to look at who it was

Of course it was him

He saw her

He knew it was her but still drove away

He drove past her even though she waved at him to stop

"You're such a jerk!" She yelled

She continued walking till she gave up

She broke down and sat on the edge of the road. The rain soaked her hair and scattered it all over her face like a veil.

Something was pricking Dylan

He knew what he had done. He left a woman out in the rain

Even if it was a whore he would have helped her.

But this woman wasn't a whore but a woman who confronted him.

Something No woman has ever done. But he couldn't be so heartless regardless.

He stopped his car all of a sudden making the tyres skid till they went to a stop

Even Lorraine heard the sound. He went back and stopped in front of Lorraine.

He got out of the car and went ahead and covered her with his jacket and walked her into his car

"You wanted to leave me there to die in the cold, right? after all you've done" she said with a shaky voice as he got in and shut the door.

"You say it like its my obligation. Last I checked, you are no body to me, this is my car and I choose to take in whoever I want in it" Damien said Sternly.

At that moment Lorraine went silent.

Dylan wanted to ask where she lives but he remembered she doesn't have a place to stay anymore.b

"Well... Why did you bother to give me a lift... I don't have a house anymore" Lorraine mumbled.

"I have lots of houses, apartments and hotels I can take you to one" Dylan said casually.

" I guess you're are feeling guilty all of a sudden, uh?" Lorraine scoffed

Dylan stopped the car abruptly and turned to look at Lorraine

"Look, you should be honoured you are in my car and that I'm trying to help you right now even after turning me down... I'm not always nice, you know?" He said firmly

And Lorraine went silent again

He drove her to one of his apartments few streets away from his mansion

"Get me the address to your former apartment and I'll have some men bring you your things" Dylan said.

"what!" Lorraine exclaimed "Am I going to be staying here?" she asked looking around the fancy apartment

"I told you didn't I?bIt's not everyday I'm nice and when I am I might be too nice... So, the address if you may?"

Lorraine told him the address and Dylan left the apartment.

"Oh my God! This is some bad ass apartment"

Lorraine said as she walked around the apartment

She moved around till she decided to rest.

She took off her clothes and wore one of Dylan's T. Shirts She saw it in the closet of one of the rooms.

She then went back to the lounge and laid on the sofa.
