Loving A STRANGER Chapter 2
Advertisement
Parker was a famous family name in Seattle. Aiden Parker was used to having a lot of luxuries, but that was his first time even seeing a Knight XV.
He felt especially guilty in front of this man.
"Sir, this is my personal business, if you don't mind," Aiden said, dragging Kylie into his arms.
The man who had spoken wore normal clothes, yet still looked extremely powerful and proud. He grabbed Kylie's other hand.
"This is also my personal business," he said. "This woman hit my car."
Standing in between the two men, and looking from one to the other, Kylie had a hunch that the stranger was perhaps more dangerous than Aiden.
But without knowing why, she thought it would be wiser to leave with that new man.
So when Aiden was busy squabbling with him, Kylie managed to push her ex-boyfriend aside, and jump back into the Knight XV. She patted the driver's shoulder and said, "Handsome, let's go."
"The lady is waiting for you."
Even Kylie had forgotten that Khloe was lying on the ground.
Damn, she really loved being a drama queen. The street on such a hot day was burning. Even if she didn't feel the heat, wasn't she worried that the paparazzi would see her like this?
Aiden had also almost forgotten about Khloe. He stared at Kylie for a moment, then turned around to help Khloe up. He put his coat over her head to keep out the heat.
Looking at them, Kylie felt a stab of pain in her chest. She had difficulty breathing, so she leaned back.
Even though she had almost hit Khloe today, she had still lost the game of love.
She was known for being calm and arrogant all the time, but that was just her armor. And even though Aiden had never struck her, he had already shattered her shield.

In the end, the things that began with love ended with love.
It was so quiet in the car, that when she closed her eyes, she could perfectly envision Aiden and their good days together. She had to try to distract herself.
So she looked at the strange man's face for the first time.
He was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old and had a beautiful profile. She could see his long, thick eyelashes— his skin looked smoother than that of most women.
He sat upright, with his hands on his knees. Even while sitting perfectly still, he looked very powerful.
Kylie stared at him for a long time until the man suddenly opened his eyes.
They looked at each other, and she felt guilty. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to play with her fingernails.
"You can look at me."
Pooh! She laughed. Who did he think he was?
Kylie smiled and changed the topic: "Nice to meet you, and thank you for what you did back there."
The man's eyes became darker.
It was getting cold inside the car, and his tone sounded mocking and derogatory. "Don't you remember me?"
Kylie was surprised to hear those words, but she forced herself to smile. "There's a bus station ahead. I can get off there, thank you."
Even though that man had helped her, Kylie felt that something dangerous was afoot, and getting closer by the minute.
His beautiful face held no emotion. He said in a low voice, "My car is still broken."
"I gave you that credit card." Although, to be honest, Kylie had no idea how much money was still available on that card, nor how much it would cost to repair the damages.
"I don't need a card."
Kylie laughed and responded: "Do you mean it? You're such a good person. I thank you and wish you a very happy life."

The man turned his head to face her slowly. "I want you," he said.
She rolled her eyes and thought how odd he was.
"You want me? But I work in the entertainment industry and have a bad reputation. Are you sure you want me?"
"You think I can't afford you?"
Did he think they were playing chess?
She sneered and held her chin up. "I have high standards for a boyfriend."
The man was silent for a while, then calmly replied: "For as long as you want, I'll give you what I have. I think I can fulfill your demands."
He was quite confident of himself.
Kylie could feel a twitch in her eye. She shamelessly said: "I have three requirements—first, you must be a virgin; second, you can only love me; and third, you must be pretty good in bed."
She felt arrogant, and like she was showing off values, he couldn't possibly have. She believed that there was no way he would fit all the requirements. He would give up his naive notion.
"Deal!" he said with confidence.
"..." At that moment, Kylie's body felt frozen in place.
She had just agreed to become some stranger's partner in bed.
Her stupid actions were unacceptable. After hearing what she had said, this man could still answer her with seriousness.
She tilted her head and looked at him. The beautiful man closed his eyes again.
He didn't say anything more or change his position in the slightest. But the feeling of being repressed made her very anxious.
She felt depressed inside that quiet car. Kylie bit her lip and looked outside. After a while, she started to talk again. "You are a funny man, sir."
The answer she got was a smile. When she thought he wouldn't say anything, he asked: "Come to a banquet with me?"
A banquet? Is that all he wanted, to have her as his plus-one for a banquet?
But she still doubted his intentions. She scratched her head and replied: "Uh...I'll go to that banquet with you. But now I'm late for a crucial audition. Can you take me there?"
They went to Garcia Entertainment as quickly as possible, but she was still late.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to come here?" Her agent, Lucas, glared at her angrily.
"Give me a reason!" Kylie calmly stared him down.
He rolled his eyes and said: "The Finch family has investments with Blossom. They want to use it to increase Khloe Finch's popularity. It has nothing to do with you."
Kylie raised her eyebrow and confronted him without caring about his opinion. "So, you're afraid of me stealing her big role?"
"You? Give me a break!" Lucas sneered and added in a girlish voice: "If you still want me as your agent, come back. I can arrange other roles for you."
"So, you do know that you're my agent?"
After saying this, Kylie quickly walked towards the director. "I'm sorry that I'm late."
She bowed slightly before him.
"The number one priority for an actress is punctuality!" The vice director said angrily. "The audition is over!"

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated! Thanks for reading!
