CHAPTER 1: Mysterious hot guy.
Laura
“Who is that cute guy over there?” My best friend Max asks me. “Oooh I wish he sees Me.” He adds now flaunting his imaginary curves sexily. He is always very dramatic and always looking for a boyfriend, no boy is good enough for him. I look at where he is looking at. And yes that guy is hot, I mean drop dead gorgeous. He is amazing, just a perfect person. They say no one is perfect but from the outside, he is.
“Do you think every hot guy is gay huh?” I ask Max teasingly. Every time he sees a cute guy he always wants them to see him. He is just too much, but I love him so much. He has been my one and only friend ever since I joined mixed high school and also college. He has been the brother I never had.
“Of course Laura.” He says chewing his gum, that he never seems to miss in his mouth loudly and more annoying. “Isn’t he gorgeous and edible though?” He says the last part pouting his lips and rolling his eyes. He never stops rolling his eyes.
“Yes he is, He is so gorgeous but we really have to go before we get late b***h.” I say to him.
My name is Laura Adams, I am twenty five years old. I am an alone child, though my parents don’t even care about me. They are always engrossed in their business all the time. So when my friend asked me to move in with him, I obliged since I was always bored staying all alone at home with the swimming pools, television and so many sporty spots in our mansion and so many servants serving me. And asking me so many damn questions for nothing. “Do you need anything small madam?” so boring. They always call me small madam, since I am the heir to everything my parents have. I am sure that my parents don’t even know that I left home since they haven’t even contacted me.
I wouldn’t want to be this rich in future and forget my kids. They will be my first priority and my husband of course. I plan on having a lot of kids since I grew up being bored all to myself, so I wouldn't wish that on my kids.
“Okayyyy.” He says prolonging his lower lip. With Max, I always laugh since all the gestures he does are always hilarious.
But before we get back into the car we were in, since we were at a filing station, I take one look at the gorgeous man and coincidentally he looks at me the same time as I do. For a moment I freeze just looking at him. He looks as if he is talking to me in a silent way. His posture is communicating something that I don’t even understand. What I know is that there is a message hidden there. I just stand there at the passenger's seat opposite to the driver’s seat until my friend shouts at me since there is some car already in line waiting. And the same time the gorgeous man enters his car and drives away giving me one last look.
“Are you smitten?” Max asks as I enter the car dumbfounded. I feel literal butterflies in my stomach, I feel chills too. I have never seen a man so perfect. His suit is perfect, his car is perfect, his mouth, don’t even say. What is happening to me? I am not one to find a guy attractive so easily.
“Are you?” he asks again as he starts off the car.
“Lauraaaaa.” He calls now louder. If the windows were not closed, I swear the whole city would have heard his voice. The only problem is that I cannot seem to find my voice. I am completely dumbfounded.
“Are you choking or something.” He asks chuckling. "OMG,are you dying?" He is enjoying this. I will get him for this. First I have to get a hold of myself before I do. “Oh girl, I told you. At least now you have your first crush too bad you will not be able to see him since this is a huuuuuge, city.” He adds. He is somehow right, I feel a little disappointed.
“Shut up Max? can't someone just think in peace.” I say in anger. He shuts up and focuses on the road. I feel so gulty to have talked to him like that just because of some dude that maybe I will never see. We drive about ten minutes, but it is a really long drive since we are just quiet. I feel so bad, I don’t want my friend to be sad just because of me.
“I am sorry Max please forgive me.” I say sincerely. “I didn’t mean to hurt you like that. I was just thinking, my friend please forgive me.” I say but he doesn’t flinch. Is he that upset? “I will buy you your favorite chocolate fudge then.” Maybe this will work.
“Oh b***h you know me so well. I forgive you then. But you still owe me, big time.” He answers me smiling and facing me. Did he forget he was driving?
“Please look at the road, you want to kill us in this traffic.” I say now in relief, I have my friend back.
“Oh please you don’t want to die so that you can see your Mr. Mysterious again?” he says.
“And who is that Mr. mysterious.” I ask, pretending not to know.
“The man whom your jaw almost fell down for.” He chuckles.
“Now I am mad.” I say teasingly though. This is how we always are. He is always teasing me anyhow, and I do the same. He is the only friend I have and I am always glad that I met him. He is a drama queen but he also acts as my boyfriend if need be. He can be a very good actor.
“Oh no you are not mad. You have a crush on a stranger. Your life is doomed my friend.” He says laughing.
We are heading to a seminar which is associated with our work. We work in a non-governmental organization (NGO) which deals with the elderly in the society. It is always fun working with them, taking them on tours. Talking with them about life, I learn so much from them.
Since I was from a rich background, I have never known problems that people faced in life. So I wanted to help others, and most especially old people who are neglected by their families. That is just a start, I will help people as I continue with my journey for life.
