Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Alicia shivered as she hid in the grass. All she could hear were the wind and those people’s footsteps. And she began to break out in a cold sweat

After a few minutes, she heard the sound of gunshots. Looking at the frightened crows that flew up into the sky from the valley, Alicia was shocked, and her face immediately turned pale. I Matthew, are you still alive? she thought to herself. For fear that the bad people would find her, she didn’t dare to move, and her heart was racing. Then various thoughts flooded her mind

/’ve been on an adventure since I arrived in Birmingham. I’ve seen some exciting things, but most of them are dangerous. Damn! If had known I would die in the middle of nowhere, I would have chosen to stay in my hometown!

“Are you going to stay here forever?” As he stood next to her, Matthew asked. His voice was as fresh as a mint, bringing Alicia’s wandering mind back to the present

Through the grass, Alicia noticed there was a boy standing next to her

She thought she was dreaming at that moment. “Matthew? You’re still alive?” She asked in a shaky voice

“You just told me I’m the luckiest person on the planet. So, how could I possibly die?” With a bitter smile, Matthew replied

Alicia cried for a while before she noticed a group of people in the distance smiling at her. In embarrassment, she pushed Matthew away right away. Then she greeted the person in lead, “Hello, Ms. Tyler.”

Emily smiled, “You can just call me Aunt Emily like Matthew did, Alicia

Are you alright?”

Alicia wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. “I heard gunshots just now, so I thought…”

Matthew frowned as he dusted off his jacket. “Thank goodness Aunt Emily arrived on time. They took care of everything.”

“Oh! Natalie and Tammy are still in town!” Alicia said as she suddenly remembered this. And she appeared to be about to cry again

Noticing that, Emily immediately said, “Come on, I know Tammy asked you to do this. When I find her, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson!”

“Let’s go. We’ll run into wolves
