“I think I’ve found the one.”
My heart dropped to the pit of stomach as my throat went dry. I was becoming a hot and red mess as I read that line over and over again. He really said that?
I read the rest of the interview as Jessica was now turning to the school and was going in the parking area to park the car. Just when she pulled over, I was done reading the magazine. I closed it and looked up at Jessica who was already looking at me with a smile. I couldn’t hold my smile and launched myself on her, catching her in a hug.
“I’m so fucking in love with him.” I sighed dreamingly, tightening the arms around her.
“As you should be. You guys are made for each other.”
I broke the hug and sat back on the seat, looking at Ryan’s cover on the magazine with heart eyes. I wish he was here right now. I would’ve hugged him so tightly that my scent wouldn’t have left his body for next two weeks.
“Now let’s go inside.” She turned around to
Standing before what looked like 60 to 70 floored building made me shiver. It then when it actually sunk in that I was dating a millionaire. That he wasn’t some guy who owned few thousand dollars. He wasn’t just a teacher. He was a fucking millionaire and he owned this 70 story building. The funny thing was, it wasn’t the only large building he owned. It was so crazy that my head started spinning at all this. I take a look at the building one more time. From bottom to the top and then back to bottom. After it really sunk in, I let out a poof of breath before entering through the glass doors. The reception was across the wide lobby and pair of elevators were present at the each side of the lobby. The pair of escalators were present at each side of the reception desk. Large LED screens were hanging right above the desk showing some company related shit. The monogram of the company was hanging in the middle of the lobby as a sweet voice of lady repeatedly said, “Welcome
“Let’s go to my office.” He spoke, grabbing my hand. I nodded. He turned to the girl who was standing next to him and told her that he would be busy so no one should disturb him before leading us to the elevator to go to his office. I learned that his office was on the 40th floor of the tower and it was the only room that we couldn’t look into from outside and it also has a wooden door. He closed the door of his office behind us and guided me to the large desk placed at the end of the room. It was a huge ass room decorated with the things I could never name. It didn’t have anything that we could say was useful to him to advance in his tech. Just a very vast decorated room with the large glass desk at the end of the room with the huge glass panes behind from where the entire city could be seen. “I’m surprised that it still surprises me.” I spoke in a whisper. “What?” he asked, leaning against the desk and folding his arms. “I
Two years… Funny how things take a full 180 degrees turn in such a short time. If you had asked me two years ago how my life would be going two years from now. The only thing I could tell you was that I’d be graduating from a high school and getting ready for college which was of course, happening. Today I was graduating from high school but that’s not the only highlight of these two years. Before I stepped into the world, my life was pretty boring. I could sum up that life in one sentence but these last two years have been wild. So many thing that I never imagined would happen to me happened. I fell in love. Someone fell in love with me. I made friends. I met people. I talked to people. Most importantly, I got my lost sense back. All of that happened in two years. For seventeen years my life was pretty stuck. The only people I had talked to outside my family were the pizza delivery guy and the cashier lady at the supermarket where mummy did groceries. The only frien
This is it, Noah. You can do this. You are strong.I let out a breath and started walking in what I assumed was the right direction to the reception. I stopped when my cane hit the desk. A voice that was feeble and shuddering which I thought to be of an old woman hit my eardrum."How may I help you?" A voice that automatically put a smile on my face."Uhmm… I’m new. My name is Noah Carter and I… I don’t know where to go" I stuttered out, completely a mess of nerves.This was the first time I was interacting with someone who wasn’t my mom, my step-dad or my sister. A completely new world for me, a completely new experience for me."Hello, Noah. I'm Linda. Don’t worry, I’m here to assist you. Please wait while I check your name on the list." she spoke, in her ever so gentle and sweet voice. I gave her a nervous smile and a nod.“Your name is on the lis
It felt a lot hotter today, compared to yesterday because I could already feel the sweat seeping down my back and making my shirt gummy. The walk to school didn’t look like the best idea now where in the first place I was the one who actually comforted mum that I’d be putting my legs to use today and walk to school.The directions to school weren’t a problem for me because I already had them imprinted in my brain because of the times I and mum walked Eva to school and came back.I was really good with memories so, I knew I wouldn’t need the instructions today but just to be on the safe side I had my recorder with me.I wasn’t sure if I was excited to be in the school again but one thing that kept me going were those two hands on my cheeks because no matter what was waiting for me in the school, I was looking forward to knowing about those two hands.Everything in the school went slickly until half time. Just when the bell for
Today was a normal day. No one tried to bully me. Keith was with me all day long. He told me that he wanted me to meet with his friends and I agreed.We had separate classes before recess time so as soon as the bell rang I got out of my seat and slowly made my way to the café. Yeah, I do walk slowly and being blind doesn't ease the predicament.I heard the sounds of the students from outside the café and entered the café."Noah! C'mon mate." I heard Keith. He led me to his friends and I sat down on the seat."This is Noah everyone, the guy I was talking about," Keith said to his friends. I was so nervous. What if they didn't like that I'm blind?"Hi, I'm Issac" I heard a cheery voice. I offered my hand to shake and he shook it."Nice to meet you, Issac" I smiled and then a shrill voice spoke."And I am Jessica and this is Anna""Jessie, he can't see," Keith said and I chuckled."Oh, sorry, my bad," s
It was just another ordinary day for me. Bumped into few people on the way to school. Took the first class sitting at the back of the class and noted everything down. Went to the next class alone. Took the class sitting alone on the last bench and trying to figure out if I had the sense of vision would it be still the same? Or would people actually try to talk to me and be my friends?I walked out of the classroom as the bell for the recess rang. I was walking in the same direction I went yesterday because that was a place to actually relax."Noah!" I heard a shrill voice. I exactly knew who it was. I turned around."Jessica?" I asked."Yes. Noah, please don't take Keith's intentions wrong. He just wanted to be your friend. Please come and sit with us" She said."No, it's okay. I just want to be alone right now. I'll join you guys some other day." I requested. I was hoping maybe I could again meet that mystery guy today.I just followed the
{A week later} I was sitting in a dark place but I knew it was my backyard. How did I know that? I don't know. I saw the light. I smiled because I knew it was the mystery guy. I stood up and waited for the ball of light to reach me. "Hey, I missed you," I spoke but I almost got shocked when it answered me. "I missed you too." A voice spoke. I could tell it was Mr Brown's voice. "Are you Mr Brown?" I asked it. "Who do you think I am, Noah?" "I don't know. You just sound like him." I shrugged. "Noah, it's all in your imagination. I am not even a real person." I looked at him in utter confusion. "What do you mean?" "First you didn't know who the person was and you never heard me speak, now you think it's your 'Literature' teacher, you are hearing his voice. Tomorrow you will think it's one of your friends and I'll sound ju
