Synopsis
Charlie 'Char' Jordan could testify she is cursed. A fat curse following her back-to-back. People kept leaving her alone. First, her best friend, next, her love. Soulmate. Lost rib. She doesn't know what else to do. She's tried Zoey's advice on partying, dating apps and blind dates. She really doesn't know what else to do. None of those rendezvous could ignite that spark in her. Could make her smile like her first love used to. It was helpless. Throw in Blurin Jameson, an autistic ex-militant whose address got mixed up in deployment day. He ends up at Char's doorstep... Literally and figuratively.

BLURIN"Skimpiness will take you no where, Greta!"That's the first thing Charlie hears when she walks out to her mini vegetable garden.Mama Freya has her frail walking stick poking around the exposed skin on Nora's body. Her butt is on the edge of her rocking chair and her eyes is wide as she yells words of wisdom at the uncomfortable girl."Stop pointing this thing at me, old lady!" Nora swats the walking stick, "and I'm not Greta!"Mama Freya gasps, "What are you doing on my lawn?!" She shrieks loudly, almost rocking herself off the chair. Charlie sees this as an invitation to save both women; one from having a broken neck."Wha— What?!" Nora throws her free hand in abandon, "Your box of peppers appeared on my doorstep! Again!" The college girl slams the cardboard box full of peppers on the patio table."Peppers

AUTHOR'S NOTEI would have put this author's note at the end of the Chapter but to avoid unnecessary corrections and critics, I decided to put it here. PLEASE NOTE, the male protagonist begins to speak in this chapter and his pattern of speaking is... Unique. This is deliberate. The reason for this will be disclosed in the next chapter.•UNCONSCIOUSLY PROTECTIVEThe next day, first thing in the morning, Charlie runs to the living room to check if the panda bear is still here.An unconscious smile appears on her face. The man has his knees curled against his chest in a fatal position. His fingers are in fists and are tucked under his chin. A bouncing baby boy; that's what he looks like.Charlie runs back up to her room to do the needful. She puts her hair into a very loose bun. Her chest is covered with a blue long sleeved shir

CUTE PANDA BEAR"H...hello?"Charlie finally summons the courage to speak after staring at the man for two solid minutes. Charlie wonders how she hasn't pooped her pants from standing in the same presence with a mountain man.She mentally kicks herself for not grabbing the baseball bat behind her bedroom door or the bow and arrow underneath her kitchen cabinet... Or the pepper spray on her kitchen window sill."Um... What? What are you doing in my ba...backyard?" Stammers Charlie.The bulky man takes a step forward so that the tip of his leather boots is hitting the lintel of the patio door.Charlie takes two steps back; one isn't foolproof. She clutches, tightly, the hem of her pyjama shirt. Suddenly, she feels like crying.Is this it?Is this how she'll die?She hasn't even edit

THE MAN OUTSIDE MY DOOR"Greta, dear? Is that you?" A frail voice queries as Charlie passes by an old looking bungalow.It's Mama Freya; the 72-year old Canadian woman who lived just beside Char's apartment. The old lady had a case of Alzheimer's disease and mild diabetes.Charlie smiles sadly, "No, Mama Freya. It's me, Charlie."Mama Freya pauses in her chair rocking and smiles brightly, "That's what I said!"Charlie shakes her head with a giggle. She walks over to the shaky woman and kisses her pasty forehead. She grins as Mama Freya coos sluggishly at Charlie."I think you look beautiful this morning!"Apart from chicken broth, the only thing that can hit home, for Mama Freya, is compliments. This'll make her gush like a teenager and reminisce on the good ol' days.Surely, Charlie does not want to
