Oliver James fell in Love with a young woman named Lilian Gomez, a half Mexican half Ame citizen. They fell in love in their prime when they were full of naivety and carelessness.
They both loved each other immensely. Oliver went for a vacation with his family in Mexico where he met Lillian often called Lilly by her family. She was young, beautiful, careless and naive.
She is open minded and had enviable values. She has a blonde hair, tall and elegant body feature that is noticeable. When Oliver and his family arrived Mexico, they leased an apartment for the number of days they were to stay for the vacation.
Lilly's mother Gabriella was the one in charge of cooking their meals. Lilly's father separated from her mother and moved back to America when Lillian was still a six months old baby. Her mother singlehandedly and painstakingly raised her with so much love and values.
During Gabriella's visit to the James' apartment, Lilly always went along with her to cook for them. She was 17years of age as at then and Oliver was 19. The first time he saw her, she took his breath away when he watched her swinging her body as she dances with the Jarabe Tapatio steps.
Some of the locals were singing a melodious traditional Mexican music. Everyone was out on the streets to dance their hearts out Mexicans never fail with music and beautiful dance steps. She never noticed he was watching.
He deliberately always finds himself wherever she is. One morning she bumped into him. She became so furious that she had to ask him on that particular day about why they always bumped into one another." Why are you stalking me.
I can see you have the habit of bumping into people" Lilly said angrily. Oliver graciously glared with a big smile on his face. She could feel his eyes on her body as if she was naked He was impressed with her and couldn't stop looking at her.
Oliver said in an arrogant masculine voice "I see you are fond of me and that's why you can't help but follow me to wherever I go to. I guess I am too handsome and irresistible " he said as he pulled up the collar of his green beach wear which he paired with a short. "You are unbelievable !" Lilly said to him in anger.
"You are the ugliest boy I have ever met so far. Don't be too full of yourself. Handsome my foot" she said. She picked up the groceries she was asked to get by her mother and left for the apartment as it was getting late.
As she was walking down to the house, a bicycle rider ran into her while running as if he was been chased by someone. She dropped the leather bag containing the groceries and almost fell to the ground while Oliver quickly caught her with his face close to her that they both can feel each other's breath.
They stared at each other for about two minutes until a passerby rudely said
"what do you kids think you are doing? This kids of nowadays are so shameless".
Oliver stood her up and helped her picked the groceries in his shirt. She was very quiet and embarrassed till they reached home. She collected the groceries at the entrance and left for the kitchen. He blushed and watched as she walked .
She got into the kitchen through the back door. She told her mother what happened when Gabriella asked her what took her long before returning home. But the mother wasn't convinced and told her to be careful around Oliver, she doesn't want any problem with the family.
"Rich people only use and dump people my dear. Be wise. Let the rich enjoy their riches and let us enjoin our lives too". Gabriella said to innocent Lilly who didn't pay attention to what her mum was saying.
The next morning Oliver was waiting outside the apartment scrolling through his smart phone. Lilly passed him by to run an errand at the nearest seafood market.
"Good morning Oliver and thank you for yesterday" she said with her head down as if she is still feeling shy from what happened yesterday. "
You don't need to thank me Lilly,you and your mother have been doing so much for us since we got here. Can I walk with you if you don't mind?" He asked while running his fingers through his dark curly hair
head. He was skeptical about her response. "No I don't". They walked down together to the seafood market and chatted along. She asked Oliver if he had been in any relationship before.
He told her that he has never fallen in love with anybody. " I am hoping that someday the right girl would come my way and I would fall in love definitely" He said with so much enthusiasm and brightness on his face.
As days become weeks, Oliver and Lilly became madly in love with one another without any of their families knowing. But however Rosalie who was Oliver's mother was paying close attention.
One day, Lilly said she was going to take Oliver
out for horse riding in a ranch which was in the outskirts of the city . They got to the ranch and rode horses for several hours and enjoined themselves.
While coming down the horse, Lilly fell down into a thick mud that was in the ranch. Oliver picked her up and took her to a tap in the ranch that supplies water.
He turned his back in order not to stare at her while bathing herself. After bathing she washed herself and her clothes too. She was left with no clothes to wear.
Oliver took off his jacket and handed it to her by closing his eyes. She smiled and wore the jacket.
"Well I am done. You can turn over now". She was careless as his presence never bothered her being half naked before him.
