CHAPTER 1
November 16, 2010.
Sara sat down in her bedroom, staring at the mirror by her bedside and thinking as she prepared for school, a 16 year old orphan currently at a shelter in the neighborhood of New Orleans.
Right from age 6(six) when she lost her mum to cancer, and not knowing who her father was, Sara led a lonely life.
No family ever wanted to adopt her, cause they always saw her as the recluse, shy and quiet black kid always sitting at the shelter's auditorium whenever it was adoption day.
Not knowing the cause of her quietness, or why she wasn't as bubbly and lively as other kids in the shelter, Sara was all by herself, that even the matrons at the orphanage referred to her as a dull child.
Now grown up, Sara knew her time at the shelter was coming to an end, at age 18 it was required of all grown up kids to vacate the premises, leave the shelter and go fend for themselves.
Having no relatives she knew off, Sara knew that time was going to be a hard one for her.
Piling her curly brunnete mane into a heavy bun atop her head, Sara picked up her bag and set out for school.
Strolling through the streets in her worn out canvas, given to her by her only friend Ariel at the shelter, singing Miley Cyrus's "Adore you" in her head, she didn't know when she bumped into an oncoming bicycle by the roadside.
Coming to an abrupt halt, she looked up to see who had hit her, staring up she was met with the most beautiful sparkly and shiny blue eyes she had ever seen.
With a pair of sunglasses, daisy vintage brown long sleeved shirt and dark jeans, Sara came face to face with the most handsome boy she had ever come across.
Turning crimson red all over, her light caramel skin glowing, Sara was lost in the moment.
"Hey young girl, I'm so sorry for bumping into you with my bike, but next time watch where you going, okay love".
"Love?" She thought out loud oblivious to the fact that he could hear her.
"What did you just say?" he asked.
Sara straightened up, picked up her bag that had fallen off her hands, and brushed her skirt.
"Um sorry, twas a mistake, was thinking of something, well like you said next time, I'll put in mind I have to watch the road, Thanks for your concern".
With that Sara moved to go, she had not gone much longer than a step when he spoke up abruptly,
"Wait!'
********
Christian couldn't believe he had asked the cute little girl to wait, what was he even going to say, where would he start from, he was short of words, but ever since seeing the pretty black American girl he'd hit, a protective instinct to guard her and remove the frown currently brewing across her face arose within him.
Now face to face with her, he was at a loss for words.
"Hello, Yes? You asked me to wait, and I am."
Her pretty full pink rosebud lips puckered up, as the full attention of her large brown eyes were fixated on him.
"Yes, I'm, I'm Christian by the way" he said stammering while extending his hands for a handshake.
Crossing her elbows, Christian could see that she was not liking this conversation one bit.
He quickly brought down his hands and stood waiting for a response from her.
Clearing her throat and flashing a smile at him, Christian's heart immediately constricted.
Was this love at first sight 'he thought? How could a 19 year old guy like him fall in love with someone he had never met before, he doubted the scenario and shook his head twice to make sure he wasn't dreaming, looking up at her, he crossed his arms and waited as she spoke-
"Hmmmmmmmn, Christian right, well I am thinking you misunderstood me, considering you brought down your offered hands, am late for school and I am already becoming impatient, am Sara anyways, I think I can repay the formal introductory gesture, have a nice day love".
Winking at him, she arranged her bag neatly and efficiently and before he could reply, she was already on her heels running.
"God" he thought out loud as he looked at her long slim legs, skimping away, he was truly and sorely doomed.
CHAPTER 22They finally landed on the sea shore, the imminent storm approaching told them that they had to get home early or else they would be soaked in the beach.Guiding Sara down from the engine boat, Christian carefully removed her helmet and his own too, placing them carefully on the boat, he took her hands and led her to a nearby tent on the beach."What's going to happen to the boat, are you going to just keep it there?" She asked him looking back at the sea longingly."I already told the boat lender to come pick it up at this exact spot, nothing's going to happen to it love, don't you worry." He replied and continued dragging her eagerly to the tent, so the rain won't affect them.The weather had other plans for them though, no sooner had they reached the tent the clouds opened and they were blasted wi
CHAPTER 21Christian couldn't stop kissing her, the feel of her lips on his was an unmatched experience, he couldn't describe it.Coaxing her gently, feeling her stiff around him, he wrapped his hands around her neck, softly kneading them and bit her lips gently, the action made her gasp in surprise and pleasure and he used the opportunity to slide his tongue in.He was kissing those pert rosebud lips of hers, so succulent and soft, Christian hummed in satisfaction.Drawing her closer, he removed his lips from here gently so he could see her reaction, but was stunned when she agressively wound her arms around his neck also and kissed him passionately to.********Sara couldn't believe she was kissing him back more fiercely and enthusiastic than before, she couldn't explain what she had felt ever since he had placed his lips on hers.
CHAPTER 20"So what do you want to know about me?" asked Christian."I want to know everything about you, your parents too, your siblings, how you work in a construction site and at the store at the same time, just simple basic things about you also the place you school, and other important stuffs I guess." Sara said feeling more relaxed now that she had told him everything about her and he had not condemned or rejected her.Ed Sheeran's perfect kept playing in the background of the restaurant making the atmosphere more romantic, friendly and soothing.Christian sipped more of his wine and then placed the glass on the dinner table, carefully wiping his lips with the napkin placed for them, he cleared his throat and said-"I'll surely tell you everything about myself okay. Let's not rush into all these talks headfirst, so let
Sara could not believe her ears as she sat at the dimly candle lit table, he wanted to be her everything if only she could give him a chance, she was stunned, she still could not believe her ears.He had accepted her, he did not flinch when she had told him she was an orphan, he had not looked surprised, angry or shocked, he had gently taken her hand in his, drawn little circles all over her fingers and had asked her to be his.Dumbfounded she blinked twice, shaked her head a little so as not to draw attention to herself from onlookers nearby and cleared her throat so she could say something."Sara love, did you hear what I just said?" he asked her slowly, his voice wavering as if he was scared of how she was going to react.Staring straight at him, she answered "I heard you perfectly well, I just...." trailing off she was lost for words, she di
CHAPTER 18The waiter brought their meal for the night, Sara had ordered some grilled chicken, mushrooms, rigatoni, roasted pepper cream alongside pasta dipped in red tomato sauce, Christian had chosen the same with her and they had ordered a bottle of wine.Sara looked around her, the Italian restaurant Christian had brought her to was a nice one, the candle lit atmosphere making everywhere look enchanting, lovers talking, enjoying their meal, taking pictures, kissing, and doing all sort of things the place was definitely a couple's favorite.With the meal placed before her, she didn't know where to start from. The food she had ordered was much, and she was embarrassed at not being able to finish the meal."What's wrong Sara?" he asked her, and she nodded her head indicating nothing was wrong but he persisted."Tell me the
CHAPTER 17Sara stood under the cherry blossom tree, the chilly atmosphere bringing goosebumps all over her skin, the cool breeze whipped through her curly hair, working its way and successfully making the packed bun look greasly.Becoming frustrated at having to wait for Christian for so long, she wanked of the ribbon and the tight bun fell down her back in a pile of long tresses.***********Christian saw her, he saw the angel of his dreams, she was so pretty under the cherry blossom tree, her hair so long and curly was currently being whipped different ways by the wind.The atmosphere was so cool, he had come late he knew that, he had been held by traffic and had gotten a sunflower and some chocolates (her favorite, as Ariel had told him) on his way to her, to apologise.Revving his bike fas
