Chapter One - Help from the sexy stranger
Amaya’s P.O.V
I had been walking around this damn College campus for two hours…two long ass hours!! I was trying to find my dorm room…dorm 202 but it was nowhere to be seen, I am beginning to think it doesn’t exist or the people I have asked have been messing with me. Maybe I should have accepted the offer of help when I arrived because my sense of direction sucks…big time! What can be so damn hard about finding a numbered door room? I decided I was giving up, would sleep in the hallway because I was done trying to find the stupid place. I dumped my two large duffel bags in the floor. Why didn’t I leave everything in my car until I found my room? Would have made my life a lot easier. Blond moment. You see I can use that excuse since I am naturally blonde though now I dyed my hair red, suited me better.
Anyway where was I? I have a tendency to ramble on especially to myself. I planked my backside down on the bags, huffing to myself…my face in my hands and groaning to myself. What a shitty start to the day…a day that should have been good but that is just my luck, I just deal with it
“Hey you OK? You seem a little lost, you have walked by me like three times.” I hear a stranger’s voice say…a male voice, followed by a chuckle
Oh heck no, wrong thing to do when I am in this sort of mood. I took my face out of my hands, ready to shoot daggers at the stranger but that never went as planned when my eyes fell on him. Instead I found myself swallowing hard when I see the handsome stranger standing there. He had the most piercing blue eyes, with dark hair that was slightly messy but I think that is the way it is meant to be, its suits him. He stood at least a few inches taller that my 5’6 height. If that was not enough there was a beautiful smile on his lips, a smile that was enough to make any woman swoon over him. He was dressed in a pair of ripped black skinny jeans, a Led Zeppelin band tee finished off with a pair of converse…causal but it seemed to suit him. Who was this find specimen of a man? I say man because he looks at least in his thirties.
“Are you lost?” he said again, laughing “You going to answer me or sit there staring at me all day?” he added, a smirk soon slipping onto his lips
Oh God kill me now, have I really been staring that hard? I feel my cheeks heat from embarrassment. Get a grip of yourself woman, you are twenty-one years old. I cleared my throat, deciding to act like he is not having a single effect on me what so ever
“No I just enjoy walking around in circles.” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes at him
“OK Miss Smartass.” He chuckled “Do you want to tell me where you are looking for, maybe I can help?” he added
Maybe I should tell him because I have seriously had enough of getting lost
“Room 204.” I said annoyed “But is isn’t here!” I added over dramatically
“In which part of campus?” he asked
“Uh?” I asked confused
There was more than one part? Well obviously there is more than one part, the place is huge but I never realised the dorms were spread out so widely
“The dorms are spread over different buildings.” He laughed
“Oh…I never realised…my bad.” I said embarrassed
“Give me your paper work, will tell you on that.” He said
Give him my paperwork? I don’t even know the dude, what makes him think I will give him something with all my details on it? He could be anyone? He could be some crazy person that likes to stalk woman or something
“I am not giving a complete stranger my paper work with all my details on it, you could be some sort of stalker or something.” I said shocked
The beautiful stranger laughed, shaking his head at me
“Will it help if you knew my name?” he asked and I shrugged “I am Joseph…well everyone calls me Joe.” He added smiling
“Amaya.” I replied
“Amaya…” he said, my name rolling of his tongue with ease, he was not asking about me name, just saying it and I have to say I like the sound of my name coming from his lips…his very kissable lips…
NO! Woman get a hold of yourself, not going to that place again. I am not here to swoon over guys, I was here to study…spent enough time running after guys in high school I was over that for the time being. I got pulled out of where my mind was going when he spoke again
“Since you don’t trust me with your details, check the paperwork again with your dorm number, the name should be there too.” He smiled
I nodded, looking at it again and right enough there was a name on it too
“Dorm 204…Western.” I said looking back up at him
“You are in the completely wrong building.” He laughed “Come on I will take you there, it is on the other side of campus.” He added
“Hmm I don’t know…you are still a stranger, I was taught not to go with strangers.” I said looking at him
“Oh well…if that is the case…hope you find it.” he smirked going to walk away from me and I could hear him chuckle
“Fine…you can show me.” I huffed after him
Joe turned around to face me, a smug look on his face, making his way back over to me. He put his hand out for me to take to give me a hand up. I heisted at first but did take it and he helped me too my feet, grabbing my bags for me, motioning me to follow behind him and I did.
“Do you go here?” I asked as we walked
“Um…sort of.” He said smiling at me
“Sort of?” I asked confused
“So what you studying?” he asked changing the subject which I found a little strange
“Talk about dodging a question.” I laughed “I am studying music.” I added smiling
“Good choice, though be careful I have heard the music professor can be a bit of ass.” He said
“I am sure I will be fine…” I laughed rolling my eyes
“OK if you insist.” He smirked
I followed him out of the building we were in, heading across campus, chatting as we did. He was very sweet and funny, we seemed to hit it off great. I know I said I am not here to swoon over guys but if they all look like him then I don’t think that is going to be as easy.
“Room 204 there you go.” He smiled when we finally found it
“Thank you for your help…I had given in.” I smiled looking for my key
“You are very welcome…is this all your things?” he asked
“No, still have some things in my car.” I said
“Would you like a hand? I have some free time if you need it, then maybe we can grab a coffee, I am sure you could be doing with one.” He smiled
Coffee did sound good actually, not had one since I left this morning plus it meant I could hang out some more with him which sounds good to me.
“Sounds good.” I smiled
He nodded and we headed into my dorm, setting my bags down before heading to my car to get the rest of my things. Maybe today was not going to be as bad after all.
