Chapter 15: Chapter 15
"I haven't worn them," he said. "You can ask for something else if they are too loose."
I shook my head, "I'm good with this." I cut him off.
"I don't want to be a burden to you anymore. you have helped me enough."
Jeff smirked, why looking at me intently. "You're not a burden to me and Andrea just tell me if you need anything."
I smiled weakly before nodding. "Thank you, Jeff."
"Good night," he said
I nodded and close the door. "Good night," I mumble to myself with a huge smile on my face.

The next morning, I woke up at 6. I have the plan to wake up earlier there's something in the softness of the bed that's made me sleep longer.
I washed my clothes last night with the blow-dryer so they will dry up today. Jeff gave me an oversized shirt and I can't go out wearing them.
I prepared for my long journey. Twenty miles is what I have to walk for the coming days. I could use that time to think about what I'm going to do next.
I silently went out of the room. I don't think Jeff is already awake now usually rich kids wake up when it's almost lunchtime.
I walk down the staircase as quietly as I could, I was about to open the door when I heard him spoke from behind me.
"Are you Leaving already" Jeff's asked in a low baritone echoed?
I froze on my spot and shut my eyes. Why is he already awake? He should still be sleeping.
I turned around slowly until I saw him standing in front of me with a serious look on his face. My eyes couldn't help but notice how good he looks on his black sweatshirt and a pair of cotton shorts.
He looks like a model for men's Clothing.
I smile awkwardly, "I have a long way to go so, I tried to figured I should get going early."
He stared at me for a moment before nodding. "Okay, do you have a place to stay in the city?" he asked. "Or you might be walking for nothing."
"I don't but I'll figure out something." I don't have to reveal every of my secret to him.
He shrugs, "You can stay here for a while." he offered. "I'm alone in the house and I'm not home all the time because of business trips."
I narrowed my eyes at him, " But that's too much. You already helped me enough." he flashed out a boyish smile. "Not too much you can stay here until you find a place in the city. You can use my computer and look for it online." he sounded so sure about what he was offering me.
I shook my head, "I don't want him to think that I'm taking advantage I told him."
"Don't think that way." he took a step closer and I guess that way too. I could feel his heartbeat.
I stare at him while he towered over me. His grey eyes are fixed on mine with a stare that is sending shivers down my spine.
"Believe me, Andrea. The city could be cruel than this forest." I didn't allow him to finish his statement. I went into the room wore my clothes and left. I have to find my way to Berge. I have to find Adrian. I have to get my license back. I don't know how that is going to happen my life depends on it. I just have to walk for now and find my route back.

Adrian didn't bother to find a parking place at the Berge. He had the appointment fixed with Andrea for Wednesday or Thursday, not Friday. He had to leave it flexible enough to her to be able to take her time and come to meet him when she is free. All of a sudden Friday became the D-day. Andrea had manages to get her phone charger while was in Jeff's house. She had long walked along when her phone beeped. She quickly checked her message it was Adrian. He had been calling, he wrote on the text. "I will be coming to the Berge Friday night so you can reach me there to get your license."
Andrea left Jeff's house Friday morning. The only thing on her mind was to get Adrian. She was behind schedule with Joyce already. She can't resume office now without the license that could be the only thing that coups save her job, being absent was never going to be tolerated in the new administration in her office.
Friday night meant one would be hard to come by and he had no intention of staying long. No one would dare to tow him, so he left his car in the fire lane and waited in front of the entrance.
He felt Andrea long before he saw her. That stirring of his senses bringing the mating urge to the forefront. He was half-hard before she came into view. She paced down the road, ready for a fight, and it only ratcheted up the desire.
Something had changed. He took in a deep breath, ignoring the scents of the patrons of the Berge, ignoring the fumes from the cars, from the city.
He focused only on Andrea until she wrapped around him, tied him up with everything she was. He tried to ignore that mating urge, breathing deeply to tamp down everything surging within him.
Clenching his teeth he focused on that newness. Andrea had turned. But she couldn't know it yet or she wouldn't have come to meet him.
She stopped a full three feet in front of him, her hands balled into tight fists at her sides. She raised one arm and pulled it back quickly, hugging herself as she stood. But she said nothing, her
eyes wide as she looked at him. Then her gaze darted away to stare at the neon sign in front of the bar, her eyes followed a couple as they entered, lingering until the door closed behind them.
