Chapter 3 THE BRIDGE

''Who are you, and why are you touching me?. Have Kenny asked you to eliminate me, this time?''Sarah, with a calm and pathetic looking voice, asked the young man.

''What!. No please, I don't have it in mind to hurt you. I just saw you lying outside here hopelessly, and I sought to revive you. Meanwhile, without wasting time and asking you many questions, I know that you would be needing my help. So before we proceed with any other thing, I would like to take you away from this place, to a better, better place. You can see that your security is at risk''The young man said. He looked at her, and saw a woman whose hope had been shattered. Sarah immediately closed her eyes after staring at him for some seconds. She then closed her eyes, wishing and hoping to die instantly.

Some minutes later, she opened her eyes, since the environment where she was currently in, prompted her to react.By this time, she was beginning to feel cold.

She stood up hale hearty. But feeling some slight pains still around her waist. However, the pains won't be lasting long anyway, since she is now regaining her strength.

The door of the room where she was, was immediately opened and approaching before her, was no other person but the guy whom she had previously spoken with.

''Hello sir. I remembered you. Please, where are we?''Sarah asked.

''Just be calm my dear. You are safe. We are currently in one of the biggest hotels in California. I see that you are regaining your strength once again. Thus, I would appeal for you to go and have a shower before every other thing. Also, I have ordered the waitress to bring a plate of food for us. So, hurry up''The young man said.

Sarah, without thinking twice, went to the bathroom, after receiving instructions from the stranger. Truly, she was hungry. She was also dirty, and needed to urgently wash herself. So, she was making the right choice by doing what she was doing after all.

Few minutes later after she was done with the bathroom job, she came out, got into the hotel room, and found the stranger eating a plateful of spaghetti and fried chicken, accompanied with some bottles of red wine.

''Hurry up, my dear. Come and join me before I finish the plates of food''Said the stranger.

Sarah smiled, now feeling very secured before him.

She was wiping out the damps of water on her body, when she saw him helping her to do the same.

''Just be calm, I can help you with that''The young stranger said, as he grabbed the towel from her.

''You look so tired. So, I don't want you to be stressed.''He added.

Sarah just maintained her composure,watching him do the job. She kept observing him, and wondered who he really was.

''What's your name, sir?''She asked.

''Just call me Jonathan''He said.

She didn't reply to him again. She dived to where they would both be having their meal, and started consuming what she could set her eyes on. Jonathan was happy, seeing her joining him on the table. After they were done with the table, Sarah felt so comfortable with him. Although, the dramas which she previously experienced some hours ago, remained glued in her memory. She needed something to get rid of such memories. She then raised her head, looking at Jonathan.

''Get more red wine please, and make sure it's alcoholic. I would like to consume them tonight''Sarah ordered.

"I would do exactly that,"Jonathan said. He immediately ordered the waitress through the phone, to execute the job. In his mind, he was disturbed, as he was wondering on the reasons that must have prompted her to demand so. Although, he was watching closely at her, to make sure that she wasn't actually on a suicide mission. Thus, Jonathan began remembering the pathetic situation he previously found her in, just some few hours ago. He knew that she hadn't yet recovered from whatever event that was probably causing her trauma. He vowed in his mind, to see her through every struggle for the night, as long as he is concerned.

Few minutes later, the waitress brought some bottles of extra wine in the room for them. Jonathan received it, and finally jammed the door from inside.

Sarah, after sighting the bottles of red wine, began to drink herself to stupor. Jonathan was just watching without saying anything. She was drinking out of desperation and pain. He could feel her pains and worries, but she just can't communicate it to him. Jonathan, on the other hand, wished he could ask her some vital questions. But he just can't. He wants to take things lightly with her, after seeing that she might present a cohesive behavior towards him, since her mind for now, wasn't yet stable.

Within a blink of an eye, Sarah had already popped out three big bottles of the red alcoholic wine, drinking them the way she wanted.

Jonathan was still watching. Several thoughts were ruminating in his mind. Firstly, he was wondering what brought her to this present situation of pain and depression. While secondly, he was busy admiring her beauty. She was too beautiful for him to take his eyes off her. He felt pity for her, and really wanted her to be happy and peaceful with herself.

His mind became very far away from reality, due to his lustful thoughts on her.

"Get up!. Show me the way to the bed. Don't waste my time"Sarah commanded. She yelled at him, as she increased the tone of her voice. To him, it was as if she had mysteriously gotten the powers of a vampire, after taking three full bottles of the red alcoholic wine.

"Okay,I will,"Jonathan replied, with a shaking and frightening voice.

He helped her by holding her at her waist side, and leading her to the bed.

The moment they reached towards the bedside, Sarah held him tight. Gripped his tie region, and pushed him recklessly on the bed. Jonathan was confused. He wasn't feeling any hurt. All what he was getting was the feelings of sexual urge, after Sarah's breasts might have touched him unconsciously.

While on the bed, he wanted to talk to her about something, but he was overpowered. By this time, Sarah was already fully climbed on his body.

She bent her head close to his ears, and whispered

"Make love to me".
