Chapter 3
Love At First Sight
"Sure you want to listen to my story?" he asked unsure
"Till you don't mind sharing" Rosie replied as he was uncomfortable and fiddling with hands. She was seeing a nervous man for the first time.
Otherwise she had only seen men in hollow darkness where she could only visualize the pitch dark sexual desires that vanishes in one night and they do prefer to leave before the sunshine as if brightness would erase their immoral deeds.
She wondered if they even considered it immoral.
For few it would be as casual and recreating as taking few shots of alcohol before going to bed.
He said in a surprisingly humble tone, "Excuse me for a while" and went to the washroom.What a thorough gentleman he is. She thought
He was even completely dressed up before she woke her.She would have actually enjoyed his masculine abs tense in anger. Not that she was a perverted kind of whore but this man was special.
He seemed to get her attention in a special way like there was nothing wrong with it.
And also strangely she felt safe.
She couldn't decipher why but she felt safe in his presence.
It felt like home when her parents and her sibling lived happily as life was flawless then.
"Are you sure you want to listen to my" he asked unsure.She did not realize he was back
"Absolutely. Till you don't mind sharing your life with a prostitute." she answered avoiding eye contact.He simply shrugged."So where do I start with?""Whichever memories you can begin with a smile." she replied hugging the small black cushion placed on the cream couch that she was sleeping on.She had some premonitions that it was really going to be an interesting night.
After a long long time...

Edwin's love story [flashback]"Right then I start with the day actually night. The prom night of our final year of schooling when I saw her, no noticed her for the first time.She was working for the selection of prom king and queen collecting others views on some piles of paper. She approached me for my name as a nominee for the Prom king and few details. I was busy flirting when she tapped on my back.
"Excuse me" she said but I did not listen but as I turned around to check who's tapping me then there was a misjudgment or lack of space that I hit her and she tripped.
I tried to balance her lifting her from her elbows.
It was then! It was right then when I smelled her. Yes I inhaled her beauty for the first time. She smelt like strawberries.
Her bare skin as she was wearing some sleeveless dress was soft like feather and smooth like satin.
Then slowly as she stood I could see her rounded, perfect boobs beautifully enveloped by the sequinned blue corset followed by a flowing material that she was wearing. I was not perverted but was actually carried away and when I saw her face, her flawless skin, pouted lips with peach lip-gloss.
Her ocean blue eyes drowned me into them and I got lost, lost in the waves of feelings, I couldn't name it then.
Her cheeks were blushed pink and as she shook her head talking to me. I was muted. I could not hear a single word. Her bouncing locks of blond were the only things that I could focus on. I was trapped.
I was in lo...
I know silly and yes I denied it completely.
She realized that I was not listening to her. She felt it was due to the loud music. She held my wrists tightly bringing sparks all over my body. This was first time ever I felt like this. She took me to a distance and then spoke to me.
Though it was difficult to focus on anything but I obediently answered all that she wanted to know and before I could say anything. "Thanks I am Stella. Have a great time" and she left.It was after that I came off my transition with only one aim in mind 'to look for her'The mesmerizing face was not a complete stranger. I knew her or I felt that I knew her. The room was full of hotties and sexy babes but my eyes were looking for that pretty face that had taken my breath away.
Is she some event organizer?
No she's too young for that. She is one of our schoolmates then why haven't I noticed her earlier. I was lost in my own reverie when I heard someone announcing from the stage.
The music stopped and I could hear "The Prom king is Edwin Parker".
I felt myself flying. I was actually lifted by the crowd who led me to the stage lifting me on the air.
I was a popular boy and their favourite basket ball player so I had lot of fans.
It was after I landed on the stage I saw those magical blue eyes again. I watched her closely and intently then trying to figure out why she looked so familiar. I was crowned with a floral crown, pinned a broach and prom queen was declared.
All I could do was stare at the dame whom I had been searching everywhere around."Ohh my gosh! She's same Stella, our Berry, my ex neighbour who always wore thick black framed glasses landed on the tip of her nose, wore a floral dress always and held two ponies. She was in grade 5 when we were together in the same class.
We had never been friends but during our family cultural meets that we formally greeted each other 7 years back. It was after that my dad did great in business and we shifted to our new big home that we lost contact
Later I joined school's basketball team and became famous and then she became a no one. Not that she was a nerd but she was good in her own world which was far away from mine.What a fool I was. I missed my years when I could have been with her, befriended her and if possible I would have even proposed her. Now when I got her there are negligible chances of meeting her again as the school was over and the universities we choose there's hardly any probability of us being in the same one. I lost her before I had her.
"Now let the king and queen have their official dance" was announced on the stage to which Lucy came to me offering her hand to dance with me. I couldn't be rude and danced a few moves but my focus my heart and soul were rested on the girl with blue eyes, Berry.
I was missing those ocean eyes so badly and wanted to know about her, wanted to have her number so I quickly excused from Lucy and rushed to Stella on stage.
"Can I have a dance with you lady?" I offered her my hand.
Her friends pushed her and forced her to accept the dance proposal. She hesitatingly gave me her hand that was so soft, so perfect that it felt as if mine were stencils that could only fit her hands.
I swayed her with the beats of the music to the dance floor. She was slightly shorter than me but with the pencil, silver stilettos she was wearing she stood straight with our faces meeting each other.
She took her steps so cautiously. She looked so innocent and when she lifted her chin making our eyes meet, I felt I was floating in the ocean of her blues. I forgot everything for the moment,
where I was? What was I supposed to do?
For I had framed series of words to be uttered to her but I was completely dumbstruck. I could not speak now. I was lost.
Was she some sort of magician or a hypnotist?
She too remained mum, not uttering a word simply gazing into my eyes."
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Love at first sight" Rosie blurted out.
"Love at first sight? He repeated mockingly but then had a changed expression on his face.
"Yes it was love at first sight"
Chapter 4 Crazy Love"I did not believe in love then. All I wanted was her and I was magnetized by her." Edwin said chuckling to himself and smiling a broad smile filled with love, real love"What you never realized that you fell. Fell madly, completely and totally in love with her?" Rosie spoke more excitedly than ever. All these years she had come to the conclusion that love is a vague feeling. "You think so?" he asked lost in his past still smiling like a love lost puppy."Yeah It's all over your face. It's in the glint of your eyes." she answered honestly.Rosie never believed in love till today but this guy in a short span of time has turned from dumb lost alcoholic to angry young man and now a cliché' youth lost in his memories of loveEdwin blushed and simply chuckled to it getting lost again as if he was back there living the moment all over again. "And then.." Rosie was now anxious about the entire thing. She was dying to know . "Oh yes then.." he said seemingly excited an
Chapter 5The Chosen OneRosie straightened herself, “she must love you a lot, treasure you?”"You think so?" he asked, his jaw muscles tensing up all of a sudden as he remembered something."I positively do. I also envy her even if I haven't ever met her. What a fool she..." she was stopped mid-sentence by an annoyed looking Edwin. Edwin coughed, disappointment creeping his face. "Sorry just a weird thought" she defended myself"Remember she is my Stella. I cannot hear a word against her." He said possessively."By now I already know that" she said lifting her hands in surrender making both of them smile in unison. "Then....” she checked the waters making sure that they both were good she said “continue please" she could have begged him to continue with the remaining story, “I will die of suspense""Right where was I?" he asked more to himself amused to live those moments again as he narrated it to her."Basket ball tournament. You did win it right ?" she prompted for him."Yipes
Chapter 6 Love? Only Love? Edwin's love story [flashback] I was chuckling at myself holding the hand of the most beautiful girl of the universe and I never ever wanted to let it go. I had missed her so much that I realized that it was love, only love. Only love can make you miss someone like crazy.. Today when she stands right in front of me I know I am in love '''''''''''''''''''''' “As you said madly, crazily and fondly in love” Rosie had hearts replaced by her balls like heart eyed smiley emoji '''''''''''''''''''''' "Edwin leave my hand." Stella pleaded feeling embarrassed of being centre of attraction as everybody started staring back at us. "Oops sorry. But promise me you'll come to watch all my matches." I asked smirking. I could feel goosebumps on her hands because of my touch. "Otherwise you'll go for starvation." She chuckled mockingly and I scratched my hair behind my neck in nervousness thinking what to reply so I decided to stop pretending and speak the truth.
Chapter 7 Love- it hurts Bzzzrrrrr bzzzzrrrr Her mobile buzzed loudly with her panicking. "Time up let's leave. It's the safest now." Rosie straightened all of a sudden and was ready to leave as she picked all her belonging scattered everywhere and the small sling bag. Not really concerned about what she was saying Edwin got up, wore his shoes while she wrapped herself in one of the scarves, she was carrying in her bag to hide her flashy outfit that was more of a prostitute uniform. Edwin followed her to the door as if he was an alien in the planet Mars not knowing a bit about the place. He knew nothing about the place. He was unconscious when she brought him here. He wondered how a lean and delicate skinny girl could drag him here. It felt weird. But this girl is strong inside both physically and mentally. "Hurry up" she said pulling his hand. As soon as she opened the door wide, there was a tall, husky figure on the door passing by. "Holy shit" she spat, and then turned
Chapter 8Friends in pain "Stella Stella I am home honey. Where are you?" Edwin shouted longing to see the face of his beautiful wife She was not in the projector room where she normally waits for him whenever he is late, nor was she in the kitchen. 'She might have dozed off in our bedroom. She's not feeling well lately.' He deduced The receiver of the landline was unhooked. He kept it back on the cradle looking for her in their bedroom which was on the first floor. None of the workers were visible. He guessed she'd given them a day's off which she normally does to feel the freedom and satisfaction of maintaining things on her own. 'Thank goodness' he looked upwards praying 'she's feeling normal again.' She was neither in the bedroom, nor the pent house. He decided to check the washroom. Where else could she be?. "Stella, my love. Are you coming or shall I enter in." No response. "So I am coming". As he opened the bathroom door, he saw trail of blood flowing through the bathtu
Chapter 9 Guilts and Copings "Why the fuck are you shouting. Can't I have peace after a day of hard work?" "Bloody you work hard and all I do is yell." Stella shouted even louder. "Honey please relax and let me watch this football league." he tried to stay calm "Go ahead with your football and ignore the living beings here as if they do not exist. They are dead. I wish I died with my dad." And she started crying. 'Holy shit' he murmured and went to her. "Sweety it's not like that. It's just that I am tired. The day was hectic. Stop crying." She continued with her crying. It was a regular routine. She would bring her father who just expired a month ago, relate things to it and start sobbing. He was loosing it. He couldn't see her cry but even after a month of his demise she was still grieving. "Not again Stella. Please. It's a month now." He said in frustration. He hated to see tears in her eyes. Why doesn't she understand? "So after a month of your dear one's death you st
Chapter 10FinalsI nodded my head smiling goofily like i had already won the trophy.I shifted my focus on the game, i needed to score a basket, 5 seconds to go and I gave a hit and not three but I did score 2 point leveling up the scores. "Hurray" we all shouted in unison. What a grand finish to the first half. This was the first time we equaled the scores and before that we were all lagging behind. In the time out, the coach was busy explaining the strategies where in my eyes were glued to the most attractive girl in the stadium who was jumping with excitement and thrill. Were all those rumors? I asked myself when my coach patted on my shoulders demanding me to focus back on the game. It was crucial and we were on equal scores."Edwin I want you to be straight. No missing three points now. The opponents are getting confident. Crush it, Thrash it. Just do it. Win it." My coach said and I winked with confirmation.The second half started with our same gesture of team spirit, standi
Chapter 10Pain, Love and SharingTime had stoppedIt was end of the worldI was deadYet teh soft passionate kiss bought him back from the ashesI was born again. I might have had innumerable kisses in my life but this was RIGHT. This is something what I was brought to life for.She was the reason for my existence. I do not remember how long we kissed because my hands were trailing through the t-shirt that she had worn which was a bloody turn on for me. I slipped my hands inside it and in no moment I pulled it above her, thrashing it on the floor.I tried to read her face if she wanted me to stop but her hands were now caressing my body making me hotter than ever. This girl is killing me.I enjoyed every inch of her upper body when I lined my finger on the hem of her jeans, unclasping the tight button and it was no more hugged to her sexy toned legs which made her moan with desire again. I was exploring each and every inch of her body enjoying her moans and heavy breaths.God she t
