Noah blinked when she saw her face. She was perfect, her eyes, her hair and lastly, her lips which begged to be kissed.
How is this even possible?
“I beg your pardon,” Violet didn’t want to take the matter lightly. She had been insulted by this hot man who is so handsome and she really likes him a lot.
“My bag,” Noah murmured and Violet looked at the bag that she had been holding once again. This is her bag. There is no way that she might have taken his bag.
“This is my bag, do you want me to open it so that you can know that it is really mine?” Violet implored. She was not a thief.
“I guess that will have to happen, “As far as Noah hated doing this to her, he had his certificates in that bag and thus he was not ready to give that up for her sake. He had just graduated and he is back home and that is what he was intending to use in his plans of seeking a job.
“Ugrh…” Violet was so angry that she had to do this. She couldn’t understand why someone would claim that she was holding their bag.
She hurriedly opened the zip of the bag as she huffed and puffed in anger but seeing the contents, she realized that she is the one in the wrong. That wasn’t her bag.
“I am sorry,” Violet handed him the bag and she went back to search for her own bag.
Why is this happening to her? Why does she have to go through this intense and bad moments? What if the dude was a bad person and he would have reported her to the authorities? Why is she ever at the mercy of people? Was she just born to be humiliated just like the way she normally is in Liberty High?
“Excuse me sir, I have not found my bag,” Violet told the man in the luggage department.
“Is this your bag miss?” The guy asked her and she nodded. That was her bag. It was almost familiar to that she had carried earlier. She was not a thief, it was just an honest mistake.
Violet took her bag and as if reading her mind, her aunty called.
“Hello dear, where are you at?” Aunt Dorothy asked.
“I am in town, would you please pick me up?” Violet requested. She just wanted to get home and relax. The issue with the bag earlier had just downed her spirits.
“We are here at the airport waiting for you. Your mother said that you would land by this time.” Aunt Dorothy mumbled.
“We have just landed, I am on my way there, “Violet said and she walked to their direction. She tried to push that encounter today at the back of her mind. She was here to be happy and the last thing she wanted was for that awkward moment to ruin her summer.
Noah walked away after getting her bag but with each step he made, he felt twice the urge to go back and ask that pretty girl for her number. Noah had focused on his education throughout college and he didn’t have the time for ladies.
He was those type of collage boys who were always in the library, if not in the library, they were in discussion groups discussing their class assignments.
Noah had this passion of becoming a teacher and he pursed it. He did so well and he hopes that he would start teaching once the summer holidays are over.
This is the summer also that he wants to have fun. He has already secured his papers and that is enough for him.
Right now, he wants to enjoy summer before the schools reopen and he can go back to being a serious individual.
Thanks to this thoughts crossing his mind, he was able to go back and ask the girl for her number.
Violet walked hastily to where her aunty was waiting for her and along the way, she bumped into him.
“I am so sorry about your bag okay, I am truly sorry,” Violet apologized.
“That is not why I am here,” The guy hinted.
“Then why are you here?” Violet asked and her phone rung.
“I have seen you, please come her, we need to get home quickly, I have some work to do,” Aunt Dorothy was quite strict and Violet needed not to waste time with the man.
“I am sorry but I have to go now, my aunty is waiting for me,” Violet said before rushing to where Aunt Dorothy and her cousin Chloe was waiting.
“I am sorry aunt, I didn’t man to be late,” Violet apologized as soon as she hugged her aunty and her cousin.
“No problem, I just want you to be careful. This is Malibu, no man should lie to you. You are a sweet girl and someone can easily take advantage of you. Be careful,” Aunt Dorothy advised.
“Okay Aunt, I will,” Violet promised.
“How is home, I missed you sweet cousin.” Chloe told Violet.
“I missed you too Cousin,” Violet turned to say this to her with a small smile touching her lips.
Violet couldn’t forget his face. She wished that Aunt Dorothy could have given her a few more minutes to listen to why he wanted to talk to her at that point in time.
What Aunt Dorothy doesn’t know is that, there is no man in the universe who has ever been kind to her. No man has ever looked at her twice but with this new guy, she felt like for the first time in her life, she met someone who cares.
Violet hoped that she would have even his number because she felt attracted to him too, just like a moth to a flame.
Anyway, she better forget about him because, they would never meet again. They just met by chance.
“Welcome home,” Aunt Dorothy welcomed Violet.
“Wow Aunt, I didn’t know that right now you live so close to the beach. This is nice,” Violet was happy that in five minutes’ walk, she would be at the beach.
“I know that you will love it here. Enjoy,” Aunt Dorothy showed her, her room before she left for a meeting.
“So, how is high school like?” Chloe who is thirteen asked her elder cousin Violet.
“High school if fine,” Violet was lying.
“Where is your boyfriend right now? “ Chloe asked.
“Boyfriend? What are you talking about? I don’t have a boyfriend,” Violet corrected her.
“Come on, I also saw you talking to the guy in the airport. Tell me, where has he gone to, does he live close by?” Just when Violet thought that he had forgotten all about the dude, Chloe brought the story up again.
“Well, I wish I would have listened to him. He had something to say but Aunty called and I had to leave him. I wish I would have talked to him,” Violet was honest with Chloe.
“Who said that you would not talk to him again?” Chloe asked shocking Violet.
“What do you mean?” Violet implored.
“Well, Noah left something for you,” Chloe gave her a note.
“Come on, read it,” Chloe urged her.
“Noah?” Violet thought that all this is a dream. First of all, who the heck is Noah?
