Chapter 3

I was stunned at his words, surprised to hear those words come out of his mouth. I gradually turned to look at his face, staring into his eyes trying to figure out his thoughts.

"But on a second thought, how could I go back home with a complete stranger", I said to myself.

I couldn't just go home with Sylvester. Even if my mother didn't care for me, and I needed to stay at someone's house; it's definitely not Sylvester for I had friends I could stay with. Coming to think of it, my friends are still staying with their parents, although some of their parents are good to me, but staying with them wouldn't just be a proper thing to do. I was already lost in thought.

"Sylvester had actually killed some guys right before me, so how sure am I that I would be safe with him?", I asked myself, still lost in thought.

Sylvester was still looking into my eyes. He could easily read the expression on my face that I was completely lost in thought as to wish decision to go with.

"Since you have no trust in me, then you can either go back to your home which you hate so much and feel bad about it, or you can stay out here in the cold and some other wild humans fish you out", Sylvester said as he already walked pass me, heading towards his car with his group of guys.

He was very certain that I would run after him, but he still wanted to keep up with his nonchalant act. Seeing him head towards his car really triggered my thoughts the more. I was now completely pissed off. Sylvester seemed nice, so going with him would be far better than going back to my mother. But on a second thought,. Sylvester was a gangster, and follows bad groups; not only does he follow them, he is actually team lead.

Lost in thought, Sylvester had already gotten to his car and was about to drive off when I finally made my decision.

"Okay stop, I will go with you!!!", I screamed out.

He was already meters away from me, so I had to run as quick as possible so as to catch up with the car. The other boys seemed to have gone to the vehicle right behind ours, leaving just me and Sylvester at another vehicle with just one driver. Being honest, his car was really a luxurious one, and it must had cost him a fortune to afford it.

The car began to move, but we never altered a word to each other, and the car was buried in dead silence. I wanted to thank him for saving me, but it seemed too hard for me to do, as he didn't even look at my dimension; his face positioned upright.

" Thank you for saving me back there", I said after summoning so much courage. But Sylvester didn't respond to me, he instead crossed his hands on his chest.

"An.. and thank you for the jacket. You really saved me from the cold weather", I said again, but yet again he altered no word, he didn't even shake a muscle.

"And lastly, thank you for.... Wait a sec , were are we going?", I couldn't finish my sentence. I actually wanted to thank him for offering to take me home, but then I realized I had no idea of where we were going, as we had already spent alot of time on the way.

Sylvester sighed, annoyed of my thanks and questions.

"Do you know you talk too much?", Sylvester said in a soft tone.

I felt ashamed of myself, for opening my mouth in the first place.

"Uh, sorry" I said as I quickly turned to the other side of the window.

"I don't even know your name, and you already talking too much. Okay, all of the things I did for you is nothing, and also we are going to my house. Are you okay now", Sylvester asked.

I gasped a little, as I realized I was such a mess. I was yet to introduce myself, but I already had questions to ask.

"So sorry sir. My name is Lucifer. And you are?", I asked.

"So Lucy, I go by the name Sylvester. Am sure you must have heard it earlier, so there is no need to call me sir anymore", Sylvester said.

"Oh, I love your name. I think I would call you Sly instead" I beamed.

Sly smiled at me for the second time that night, and being honest, I really found him very cute. After that, the road was silent for at least ten to fifteen more minutes, until the driver said " we have arrived boss".

Sly wasn't even living in a simple house, he was actually living in a big mansion full of luxurious decorations. As I walked into the building, I just couldn't help but widen my eyes; but at the same time trying not to do it in a way that would seem too surprise as it would be really embarrassing If I get noticed.

Unlike what I had expected. The living room was all white and very spacious with black decorated furnitures. I was very excited as I had never seen such luxurious house before. Everything seemed so expensive and fitting for a wealthy person. Seeing the environment I was in, I suddenly began to feel embarrassed of my dressing. I was wearing an old coat and a jean trouser, with my pair of slippers though my slippers were actually new pairs. I began to wish I had worn something much better. I stood by the corner, playing with my fingers; not sure of what to do; when a voice ran through my ears.

"Sylvester, thank God you are back. We have a big problem. Lugard's family has fucked every", he stopped as soon as he set his eyes on me, unable to finish the sentence. He became completely shy, but part of him actually found it cute, and it softened his expression. Sly stepped in front of me, standing between me and the boy; now facing him.

"She's Lucifer, and she will be staying here for a while", Sly said.

"What?, What do you mean?", He said trying so much not to sound rude, but he was pretty confused. He had even forgotten about the complaint he had wanted to lay before Sly to handle.

"That", Sly coughed a bit, clearing his throat.

" That bastard scorpion and his friends were messing up with her. So I finally got rid of them. She didn't want to go back home, so I brought her home with me. Collins is there any dinner left?", Sly asked.
