Lucia sat on a chair while the children were outside playing. It was her spare time at work. She needed to think. All that happened that faithful night she met Derek by coincident at a garage where she parked her car never left her head. She could remember how she was humiliated when she walked up to a stranger, telling him she wants to be his girlfriend. When she remembered how he called her unattractive, she just couldn't believe she really did such a thing. She actually did something so outrageous like that? Now that she pondered about it, she could not explain where she got her bravery to approach him, even seeing the kind of man he is. Was she really desperate?
Lucia was aware that what she did that very day was pure madness, offering herself to be his girlfriend. Deep in her heart, she didn’t regret it but for the fact that, that stranger rejected her, unexpectedly motivated her. She thought that the kind of man she was looking for was him. A heartless man who didn’t fall for anyone. She didn’t know why, but she believed him when he told her that he does not do love and never would. Maybe because she saw the truth in his eyes when he made that statement. She didn’t know why she believed him, or perhaps she felt that the man has an icy heart that would never ever melt.
But was it possible for her to fall for such an icy man? She wondered. Was it possible to love a man who is so cold, so cold that her poor harmless heart would tremble. She couldn’t tell but, like Eve in the Bible, she wanted to taste the forbidden fruit even though she was aware that it might cause her pain.
“Besides, didn't they say love is blind? So, my case will not be different,” she said.
At this point, she didn't want to tell her self to be careful because there was no need for it. She had nothing to be afraid of because she knew she would be dying soon and if she doesn’t do it now, she will never do it, so she decided to take the risk.When she got back home from the orphanage where she worked for free after her graduation, she got home and her family were already waiting for her in the living room, watching their favorite movie channel.
They all had a peaceful and pleasant dinner before Lucia went to her room to have a peaceful refreshment. After taking her shower, she laid on her bed. She had been thinking about that man all night, even when she was in the shower. Strangely, she couldn’t stop. Was it because he rejected her? Maybe probably not. Or It was because of his ever striking experience. The probability was high.Lucia couldn’t help because she thought he wasn’t real as she remembers every feature of his face, it couldn’t get off her head. She then went to the place where she hid what that blue leather jacket man gave her, lifted the note and stared at it for a while.
As she lay on her bed with the note in her arm, her eyes drifted close. The next thing she knew was the sun streaming through her windows.She rose and did her usual routine, dressed her bed and helped her grandmother prepare breakfast. Her grandmother didn’t like the fact that Lucia had helped her with the breakfast, but she doesn’t have any choice but to allow the girl help her because her strength was beginning to fail her.After eating breakfast, she got ready for work and gave her grandparents a goodbye kiss before she drove back to the city at the orphanage. Lucia's grandparents got her a car not too expensive to run her daily activities and meanwhile Daniella and her parents were no longer living close to Lucia but instead, they now stay in the city.Her job at the orphanage was free, she wasn’t paid, but it didn’t bother her because she volunteered herself. She was told that her parents also volunteered themselves to work at the orphanage before they died. So for that reason, she wanted to be as good as her parents and more over, she loves children that’s why she didn’t see it stressful in being around children.Her job was mainly assisting teachers during class time, she was assigned to read books to the kids during weekdays, except from Fridays, and she loved the nature of her job. She had grown to care very much about children and treated them like her family. She was pleased doing those things for as long as she was able.It was Monday, so the children who haven’t seen her for 2 days were so happy to see her. They embraced her as soon as they saw her walking in the building.“ Miss Lucia, we missed you”
Said one of the kids called Beauty, and she was the youngest and was Lucia's favorite. She kissed Lucia at the side of her chick and hugged her, so tight like a child would hold its Teddy, preventing it from been touched by some people who wished to harm the Teddy.
“ I missed you all too”
Lucia reacted to the hug with a smile on her face.
“ Now let’s go inside, your teacher will be coming soon.
Lucia assisted Mrs Blessing, the kids' teacher. The whole day, She read them a story with the tittle” the cute prince”. After the class was over, Lucia walked to a coffee shop near the orphanage.
She had sent Daniella a message last night telling her that she wanted to tell her about something, so they chose the coffee shop as their meeting point.“ How are you? You were pretty drunk last night. Lucia looked at Daniella with a raised brow as she spoke.
Daniella was no longer the little girl she used to be, she was now grown up, and it was as if she took over Lucia's strength. Beating whoever that tries getting on her way.
(smiling) “do I look that bad?” She tried rubbing her face with her both hands. This time around, she was makeup free.
“Yes off course.”
“Don’t lie Lucia. I made sure I slept well.” She huffed and Lucia could only chuckle.
Her friend Daniella was strikingly rich, she didn’t know why the both of them who were worlds apart became best of friends. Daniella, during her years in college, she was envied by many. She was pretty, super rich and had numerous suitors. However, she was alone. Only boys who want to hit on her approach her, unlike the girls who were so much afraid of her because of her father’s wealth and her new way of fighting those she sees as a threat. Lucia really did a fantastic job on Daniella. Daniella was no longer the soft girl she used to be back then, she knew that for her to survive, she had to fight.Back in the school, the students see and call Lucia Daniella's maid, and she wouldn’t blame them because she really did look like a maid. She could not compare herself to the daughter of one of the richest men. Lucia didn’t mind them because she knew that Daniella was a good person and will continue to be her friend, regardless of what people say.
“Alright, I have lost my patience girl, so now you have to talk.” She narrowed her eyes around. “OK fine. Like I was saying, I found a man.” Daniella choked again. “(laughing) this is unbelievable, who is he? Who is this man that has caught my dearest Lucia's eyes? Huh?” Daniella was so excited. “Actually, I failed to get his name, it all happened so fast. But his surname is Derek. I heard someone call him that name the first time I saw him.” Lucia’s respond made Daniella pout but was quick to bounce back in being excited and asked her about how and when she met him. Lucia was quick to tell her where and how she met him but of course she didn’t tell her about the drama that happened, about how she was called unattractive and was seen as a kid. “ The man, he is supper handsome. I don’t even know if he is real because his beauty is something else. He looks like a celebrity, if he really is, I would have heard o
Lucia went straight to the place where she had kept the number safe, she took it out and typed the number and then saved it as Mr. Stranger.She wanted to message him, but she doesn’t know what exactly to say. Should she shamelessly ask for Mr. Derek's house address? No, that would be creepy! But how then would she meet him?Before she could realize it, she drifted to sleep without accomplishing her goal for the night. She couldn’t send Mr. Stranger any single message at the end. The next morning, she woke up early as usual, ate breakfast with her family and dressed to work after she must have helped her grandmother do the house chores. Off course the woman didn’t dare to refuse because her strength wasn't there as usual. And she needed assistance. As she arrived in the orphanage, She had a good time with the children that day. As always, she felt like she was filled with lots of energy. Perhaps being with the adorable kids all
The man who was inside the car leaning his head on his headrest with his eyes closed suddenly moved immediately he heard the girl's voice, he then opened his eyes to look at her. “Little girl”he mumbled upon seeing her. He stepped out and when he saw the awful damage on his car, he leaned on the opened door of his car, crossing his hands on each other as he looked at her. He was wearing a long blue coat, and he was simply breathtaking. His black wardrobe, his black hair and his car caused his skin to look paler.He was simply out of this world that anyone could consider him to be someone who was out of this world or maybe existed on in dreams. His features were unlike anything that could come from the human world.Lucia's mission was somehow impossible, loving someone who was never her class and will never be. A man who was respected by so many great men, he was a god! Lucia didn't think about those things, but rather her heart was where she placed it witho
Hearing those questions from Lucia made him smile. He raised Lucia's chin with his cute hands and said, “so you can pay for my damaged car with the money I will pay you, right?” he asked and gave her a dangerous and wicked look. The girl stood for secs without a word.“ That is…” she interrupted. “ I caused the accident, so I really want to pay for the damage because I do not want to go to jail” “please do not take me to jail, I am the only child” she started crying.“ if I should tell you that I forgive you, and you don't have to pay anything, you won't offer yourself to keep me company? right?”Lucia was surprised, but she was quick to realize that it is a “what if” scenario that he was describing. But could he be testing her resolve ?Lucia looked straight into his eyes to see if he was joking, but unfortunately, he was damn serious. Was he looking for a way to just dismiss her or what? It was obvious that he doesn't want her to pay for the damages b
At a certain George Ronald hotel.A large, magnificent ballroom has been meticulously set up for what seem to be a significant and a high-class party. The chandelier dangling towards the ceiling provided little sparkles of light from in the room from one end to the other, giving the room a feeling of being under a bright starry night sky. Many round tables were dotted around the room, decorated tastefully with a gold and red motif of colors which represents wealth, prosperity and good fortune.This masquerade ball certainly was a display of wealth and prosperity, from the crystal Champaign glasses and silver and gold cutlery to the stunning paintings and decorations on the wall. But that wasn't what caught one's eyes! Inside the ballroom were group of people wearing cloths, jewelries and other accessories that worth millions of dollars. The women's ear rings, rings, and necklace and bracelet all together shone brighter than the light in the room. Anyone who caught a glim
It appeared that Derek had forgotten about the prophecy. He was also a human and his likely to forget things. A call came in and it was Daniella. On the phone…“Hello, Lucia. I can't believe I just experienced orgasm. He is so good at It, perfect! I just…” she paused, wondering if Lucia really picked the call because she hadn't heard Lucia's voice at all since she started talking. The innocent girl who couldn't understand what she meant by orgasm remained mute and was embarrassed that she had no knowledge of what her friend was talking about. “Hello… Lucia, are you There?” “Yes, dear, I Am. What were you saying.” “Ok… like I was saying, he is so good at It, I just couldn't believe I experienced orgasm for the first time and it's feels good!” “What's orgasm?” “Oh no! Not again. Don't tell me you don't know the meaning? Ok. I won't tell you, but it's an assignment I am giving to you now and when next We meet, you w
That moment Daniella told her about was now! She was prepared. She knew what was about to happen. The bedroom was enormous, decorated in a masculine color of gray and black, it was dimly lit-mode lightening and Lucia found herself standing a few feet away from the large king-sized bed. Lucia knew what could happen immediately they entered this suit, she wasn’t going to lie to herself. Deep Within her, she still wished this man would be like the male lead she had read in one of her best romantic novels. A gentle man, sweet loving and respectful, a man who wouldn’t do things without love for his partner.However, she knew right from the start that he was not that kind of man. He clearly showed her and even told her that day that they met, that he doesn't do love and never would. In fact, he only wanted a girlfriend for company or for his sexual satisfactions, nothing more. He clarified it for her that this was what she could expect, and he warned her, not on
