Saved by a stranger

The morning light hit Issei and she squinted, it was coming from the wrong direction of the room, she thought. She stretched towards the side table to grab her phone but the distance between her and the table was alarmingly five, her heart pounded in her as reality hit her.

She didn’t go back home from the party and she didn’t have Clarissa picking up her drunk body cause she was away.

Her eyes flew open and she grabbed the thin sheets on her body as she realized her clothes were off her, she only had on her underwear and the blanket. There was a king-sized bed which she slept in, the room was well decorated and looked like a hotel but not quite.

“Issei”

She whispered her name trying to think for herself, she was out of her clothes and in a strange room, she couldn’t recall anything from last night.

She grabbed at the sides of her head as she struggled to put two and two together.

Her heart raced on the choices she could have made, did she just mate with some random human?

She hadn’t known when the knock came in but her eyes went straight to the door as it suddenly opened. She gasped pulling the sheets up about to tell at him a piece of her mind when she saw Ryan.

“R-Ryan?” she stuttered surprised to see him.

“Issei…”

She suddenly turned red as he called her name, he had on a black shirt and long pants, very casual in comparison to how he dressed in school. Her eye were curious on what had happened when she was drunk, part of her was excited if he mated with her but etiquette came in form of Clarissa spelling out a big no for him ever taking advantage of her.

“You must be overwhelmed… waking up in a strange room but I can assure you I slept down the hall”

“Oh” she frowned at the sound she made unable to tell if it was disappointment or relief.

“Look I’m so sorry for the inconveniences, can I know where my clothes are…”

Ryan laughed, it made her feel butterflies, he walked towards the bed stand dropping a bowl of soup he had been holding.

“You threw up on all of us, no surprise that would be going into the washer, after shower I’ll give you something to change into, have this soup to get over your hang over”.

“Oh, that’s so kind… I’m so sorry”

“Don’t be, I owe you for lifting my mood last night, it means a lot to me”

Issei blinked unsure what had happened, she didn’t push to find out, she gave a little smile and took the soup f the table. With drinks she thought to either eventually remember said memories or not remember at all in cases where she made a fool of herself.

Ryan quietly walked towards one end of the room which had a door towards the walk in closet.

She watched as she drank the soup, shocked at how tasty it was, she reacted.

“Oh my God! This taste so good!”

Ryan laughed amazed by her reaction, “Well I’m glad you like it”

“Mmmm I have never tasted anything like this, what’s in the soup”

“Issei, it’s family secret”

“Hey, that’s not really fair! Does this mean I’d never get to taste this again?” she looked towards the door eager for his response.

“You cannot conclude just yet”

Issei smiled looking at the soup, she couldn’t devour the entire pot if it was Clarissa’s cooking but she tried to remain civil. Watching cautious, she moved towards the second door which would be the bathroom, she stepped in and got the water running.

Looking to the mirror, she adjust her messy hair feeling bad for how she looked, she suddenly shrieks cringing on the fact that she had thrown up all over Ryan. “Shit!” she hissed shaking her head.

“Are you ok in there?”

He knocked at the door and she shut her eyes embarrassed, “No, I’m fine”

Stepping out the shower she had noticed Ryan had left the room, she had sometime dropped a towel and some little body care products by the door.

The thought of him running over to the store to get them for her made her feel like she was dreaming, with the towel over her body, she sat detangling her hair and thinking of Clarissa’s reaction when she got back.

Her friend had a lot to tell her about her family friend’s date but she also had a lot to tell her about Ryan.

When she was done she walked over to the bed and stared at the long sleeved blue shirt and long adjustable pants.

Putting them up in front of her she inhaled his scent and threw herself into the bed.

“Am I dreaming?” Issei asked herself and inhaled it even more, giggling she rolled around the bed.

“I should totally text Clarissa” as she pushed up to grab her phone, Ryan knocked again at the door.

“Hey, when you’re done… you can come down for breakfast”.

“Huh? Sure!”

She grinned from ear to ear as she quickly wore on the shirt which stopped at her knee, the neck was wide revealing her shoulder.

She could have stepped out like this looking cute with his top but no, he gave her the pants as well and she didn’t want to give him any weird ideas.

As she came down the stairs she had to grab on the pants to avoid tripping. She found her way down the stairs, turning to her right she saw him placing waffles on the plates.

Pouting she let go of the trouser letting it fall, she had tied the adjustable ropes on a death grip on her waist and she looked like she obviously didn’t own them.

He stared quietly and infatuated at her, “Issei… what are you”

She threw her hands in the air before grabbing the pants again to join him at the table.

“I almost tripped and got face planted twice… maybe you should have gotten me shorts”

“I did think about it, but I was curious how you’d look in my clothes”

She looked at him red but was instantly carried away by the scent of breakfast, hot cocoa, waffles, strawberries, pancakes and freshly cut apples and oat.

He watched her find a sit and look over the place, his house was a two roomed apartment, pretty minimalistic yet classic.

“Varieties”

“I didn’t know what you liked, it definitely wouldn’t be a waste although girls have smaller appetites”

“What? What gave you that idea? I want to try them all”

He leaned on the tables looking at her as she watched curious of what steamy dish to try on first.

She tried to touch the waffles with her bare hand and she winced, Ryan immediately rushed over to her eyes wide.

“Careful, it’s still hot” he had grabbed her hand staring at her red fingers, she looked up at him as her heart leaped to her throat suddenly she noted how close he was to her.

Ryan looked up at her, their eyes meeting and to Issei time had definitely frozen.
