Chapter 3

Kate was on the highway on her way back to her house in Perth Amboy. The rain was getting worse and worse with every minute. While Kate was driving her eye caught by a car on the right side of the road. She passed it but sadenly she stoped. There was no traffic at this hour on the road so she didn't caused any problem.

She drove back and stoped to where the other car was. She knew that was a little dangerous but when she was in need someone helped her. Now was her time to help. She took the umbrela from the backseat and got out of the car.

Walking closer to the man was fixing the wheel her breath caught in her throat. It was him. The tall dark haired rock star. He was down on his knees and his hair were so wet from the rain. He was wearing only a t-shirt. Probably the rest of his clothes were wet too. She could see the tattoos in his arms.

She cleared her throat and said "Sir, are you okay?" Richie turned his head from the direction he heard the voise. Brown eyes met blue and he got up from the ground. It was her. The tall blond haired doctor was standing there in the middle of nowhere in the rain. "Yeah, i'm okay! I'm just fixing the car wheel! I'm sorry if i worried you everything is okay!" Richie answered to her question.

"Sir, i bet you know that you're only wearing t-shirt and is the middle of January and is raining! That can cause you from a flu to pneumonia! As a doctor i will not let this happen! Grap your things i'll take you home!" Kate answered. Does she really said that to him? Why does she told him that? Her father and brother have told her not to talk to strangers. And she just broke the rules.

"My name is Richie and you don't have to take me home! I can take care of myslef!" Richie answered and kneelt down the wheel. "From what it seems you don't! In the hospital you're wearing a coat don't you Richie?" Kate asked. Richie looked at her once again. He have never hear anyone else telling his name like this. He didn't know what she've done but there was something about her that he wanted to know.

"I'm not leaving alone from here! I can stay here all night if you want!" Kate told him. Richie couldn't deny that. "Okay Mrs Jones...." was the only thing he could say. He got up from the ground and said "Just give a minute to take my staff!" Kate couldn't do nothing but smile.

"You can call me Kate!" she yelled while Richie was taking his coat from the front seat. Richie gave a look at her. The umbrela she was halding was complitely wet just like her coat. He took the umbrela he had from the backseat and opened it. "Let's go! I don't want you to get cold because of me!" he said and took her umbrela from her hands. He opened his and put his hand on her waist. The umbrela wasn't that big as hers but still was doing what it was ment to do.

When Richie put his hand on her waist she shuddered. The last time a man put his hand on her waist was in the University almost 10 years ago. They passed the road close enough to fill her lungs with his perfume. Arriving at the car they got in. They both blew out the sigh of relief.

"This is rain!" Richie said first. "Sure it was and still is!" Kate put the machine forward. "So, where is your house?" Kate asked. "I live in New York but i stayed with my parents, in Woodbridge!" Richie answered. She was amazed by his answer. A rock star styed with his parents for the night. She couldn't remember when was the last time she slept in her parents's house.

"Oh man! Damn my mind! I left the keys of the house in the car!" Richie said a few seconds ago and interuped her from her thoughts. "It's alright! You can stay to my guest room for anight!" and then she hit her again. She broke her rules once again. She never invite even her friends to come over for a night and she just invited a rock star to spend the night. This is not Kate, she start loosing her mind.

"No no Kate thank you! You've done so much for my already! I can stay to a hotel!" Richie answered back. "There are no hotel here and plus we're here!" Kate answered and opened the gate of her house. She drove the car in and parked it.

"Look Kate you don't have to! Ι can go to a hotel, really!" Richie said to her when she parked the car. "With that rain? You're going to be sick!" Kate told him. "No, i don't want to make troubles to you!" he answered looking her in the eyes. "You're not a problem Richie! I was going to sleep alone one way or another!" she said and she didn't gave him any time to answer. She opened the door and get out of the car with the umbrela. So, did Richie.

Kate opened the door and said "This is my home! Make your self comfortable!" walking in te warm house Richie looked a little amazed. "You got a nice place here!" he said looking to the big living room. Two big couches were placed as long as a TV. "I'm going to give some dry clothes and prepare the guest room! Everything you need you'll find it in the fridge!" she said and dissapear in the stairs.

Richie was looking her the intired time. When he couldn't see her anymore he looked back to the living room. He walked to the kitchen and pured himself a glass of water. Above from the sink was a big window. He opened the curtain and start watching the water falls in the ground. It was right here where Kate found him.

There was no lights on and he could see him the twilight. Looking sexy as hell all wet as he was. She swalled hard and cleared her throat. "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Richie turned back as he hear the voise behind him. She have changed to pijama's and slippers. "Here! is what i found for you to wear! Is my brother's i  think they'll fit you like a glove!" Kate said and passed him a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

Richie took them in his hands and said "Thank you..... again!" he walked away from her and dissapear on the hallway. Kate was watching him close. With every step he took Kate liked him even more. Get yourself back together Kate! she told to herself.

She turn on the lights and start making some dinner. It was the first time in a very long time she was preparing dinner for two. She've had missed that. The last time she was in relantionship with someone was in the University but he never slept in her house. Richie is her very first guest.

  1. Hmm, what is Kate's story? From the little pieces I have read it sounds like she has been alone for quite sometime.
