Chereads / The Black Dahlia / Chapter 9 - 6. Deja vu

Chapter 9 - 6. Deja vu

Alejandro

I tried to open my eyes. I squinted my eyes a bit rough, shutting them tightly once before opening them again. A bright light hit my eyes as I gradually opened them. They weren't bright but they seemed almost blinding.

My head was a mess, I had a raging headache and felt groggy and disoriented. I remembered almost crashing into the truck and my car crashing against a tree.

I looked around the room and found myself in an unfamiliar room. I am laying on a very small bed which is quite small for my six feet plus frame and muscular body.

I looked around the room and found that room is smaller than my bathroom.

"Shit!!! Where the hell am i????" I asked myself.

"Thank god you're awake" I heard a female voice. When I turned my head I saw a beautiful girl standing beside the bed. She has a brown hair and a grey eyes.

Wait a second!!! Those eyes are so familiar. Like I saw them before but where????

"Do I know you???" I asked

"I don't know about you but I definitely don't know you" she replied sarcastically.

What the hell!!!! No one has ever dared talking to me like that.

"Who the hell are you ??" I asked

"None of your damn business" she replied with an eye roll.

Why her behavior does reminds of someone. Her eyes are so familiar. Wait a second is she the same girl from the ball, the one I am

am smitten with. But how can it be possible?,No one can enter the ball until unless you have a very powerful background. And looking at her living conditions I don't  even think she even has a  family.

"Do you remember anything" she asked

"Yeah" I replied and groaned due to pain.

"The only think I can't remember is how ended up here" I said.

"I dragged your ungrateful ass here" she replied.

But the question is why???

Why would she save my life until she has some ulterior motives?

"Who are you??" I asked again trying to solve this puzzle standing in front of me.

"None of your business get well and then you can leave" she replied irritated by my constant questioning.

I don't understand why she is not revealing her identity. There can be one reason for her unusual behavior.

"Are you a criminal???" I asked.

"Criminal don't pick up stray wounded dogs from the roads and help them heal" she replied sarcastically.

How dare she call me a dog? Who the hell does she think she is? Just because she saved my life doesn't give her the rights to talk to me like that.

"You have no idea who I am" I growled.

"You mean a rich spoilt brat who doesn't know how to drive and almost died without a care in the world??? Yeah I get it pretty much. "She replied

"Why the fuck did you save me? " I asked.

"Ever heard of the word "empathy" " she said with a smile.

Although I don't like the attitude of this girl but I can't deny the fact that she saved my life.

"What's your name???" I asked.

"None of your..." i cut her off by saying

"I won't repeat myself"

"Gabriella" she replied in a low voice.

A smile came on my face that's a pretty name. She might have a pretty name but her attitude was really ugly.

"Thank you" I said

"You don't have to" she replied with anger in her eyes. Why the hell is she behaving like this with me? I don't know but I have a feeling that she hates me but why??? I don't think I gave her any reason to hate me till now.

She is a puzzle I am not able to solve.

I am having a very bad headache due to the injury. I really need some painkillers.

"Get me a high dose of painkiller" I said.

"I am not your little bitch to run errands" she replied angrily. It seems like someone is not used to be ordered around.

I hate when someone talks to me like this. It seems l need to teach her a lesson. Without thinking twice I pulled her towards me and yanked her hair

"You get me what I want and I will be out of this house. You try to mess with me, I will kill you even before you can blink"

She nodded her head and only then did I let her go. She walked out of the door not before slamming it behind her. I was awed by her brave spirit, she is not intimidated by me.

After few minutes she came back with a tray full of food and painkiller. I looked at the food confusedly.

"You shouldn't take your medicines with an empty stomach" she explained when she saw me looking at the food in a confused manner.

"Eat your food, take the medicine and get the hell out of my house" she said and turned around to leave.

"Gabriella" I called out.

"What" she said irritatingly

"Are you seriously gonna storm out " I asked in disbelief. This is the first time a woman is ignoring me. Usually woman flanked around me like I was royal prince.

"Listen Mr..." she paused for a second and then asked "What's your name??"

"Alejandro" I replied but didn't reveal my surname. Everyone knows my family surname in Mexico. If she is an enemy giving up my last name won't help my chances of survival.

"Look you should leave now" she said.

I know that she is not very comfortable in having a stranger in her house. So I decided to leave. I am pretty sure my family will be tensed about my sudden disappearance.

After taking painkillers I walked inside the bathroom to freshen up. I was shocked when I looked at my reflection. I wasn't shock to see my wound since I am used it, but I was shocked to see the way they were bandaged. It's seems like some doctor bandaged. So professionally they were bandaged.

But how is it possible. I am sure that she hadn't called a doctor to treat my wound. I was really having a headache with all these thoughts so I decided let it go.

I walked out of the bathroom and I found her sitting on the bed. Her face was emotionless.

"What do you do???" I asked.

I decided to get some information about her before taking my leave.

"None of your business" she replied

I gave her a smirk and said

"It's my business to know about the woman who was kind enough to save my life"

"I think you should leave" she said.

At that time I knew that she won't reveal any information about her personal at any cost. Anyway i know her name so it won't be difficult to find information about her.

"Do you have a car" I asked her

"No, but I am using my friend's car" she replied.

"Great drop me at Nirvana" I said.

She looked at me confusedly and asks

"What's nirvana"

I gave her a smirk and replied

"Strip club"

"Pervert" she muttered in disgust.

She dropped at the club without any further questioning. I looked at her for one last time before making my way inside the club. I knew that she has still not left and was watching me. She only left when she was sure that I was safe. No one expects for my family as ever cared for like this.

But I don't know why but I have feelings that there is catch in all this. And soon I will proved right...
