Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 1

               HIS UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL
Let me introduce myself .
I am Darah Sac, an average, black and 18 year old high school graduate preparing to enroll in a  university of my choosing.

Life to me seems to be easy, fun and exciting for other people my age. It’s like they turn to have everything they ever wanted and wished for going just the way they want it to.

Living lavish and freely with no care in the world but my life, Is actually the opposite of all these. HARDSHIP! HARDSHIP! HARDSHIP... !!!!!!
DAMN! why me of all people? Don't believe me? Be the judge to this:

1. When through hell to pass the college entrance exam only for me to give up the dream of ever furthering my education when I made the cut.

WHY? And HOW? You may ask........
The truth is I can't afford admission forms and tuition.

2. Spent my last savings on transportation,vacancy posters,application forms, CV's and whole lot of crap only to be called in one day for a job  interview (Hoping the pay is good) later to find out that my soon to be boss has taken a sudden interest in me and wants to meet me in a hotel for the second face of the interview.

Some would think” Okay Darah, how exactly do know that the dude wants to get freaky with you and moreover it’s  just a meeting in a  hotel what could possibly go wrong?”
Well let me share with you a thing or two about life.
I have written countless number of CV's and been to a ridiculous amount of interviews and can assure you that, when the location of an interview happens to in a hotel, just look for a new job thank me later.
Unless you are into such things then feel you to do your thing but as for me I’m out.

3. My rent was due six months ago but I have always managed to convince my landlady to give me some time. I think she has started to run out of patience.

Am just 18 why can't I enjoy life like a normal teenager doing crazy  staff, going out with friends falling in love. Well I do sometimes hung out with friends and at one point dated a guy I really liked.

I was really hoping that we could be more than what we were but I guess relationships now adays is based sex and I just wasn’t ready.

So in conclusion my life is as plain as the word could be and a very tiring but even through the bad times, I had faithful friends who always find ways to make me smile and I love them for that.

Is this the life I wanted to introduce Jake to? I would never wish this on anyone else. I just wish I had enough money to fix some few things around here before he gets here.

I still have some time to prepare since he never told me when he will be coming, I’m praying he decides to visit in the next few months 2or 3 months from now will do will be enough time for me to sort my shit out.
It was almost 9:00 pm in the night when I woke to the sound of my phone ringing.
I was still half asleep as I cursed and stretched  to answer the device that is refusing to shut up so I could go back to sleep.

Feeling reluctant to talk to anyone at the moment I slowly fell back asleep thinking the caller will have enough brain cells to conclude that I might be busy with something important that why I wasn’t answering  the phone but it seems this caller dumb as fuck in this case and kept calling.

Finally woke up and answered my phone to hear the voice my ex boyfriend.
You know the feeling when someone wakes you up because of something stupid and you later find it hard to fall asleep?
Yeah that’s exactly how I feel at the moment.
Out of anger I didn't even wait to him to say a word and I just hanged up and went back to bed.
I successfully managed to fall back asleep some minutes later when I heard the continuous buzzing of my phone.
I picked it up thinking it he was the one still calling and was about to give him a piece of my mind when I heard Jake's voice.
I looked at the caller ID to see that it was a local number I was  very much confused seeing this.
"Hey, What’s up?” He asked  I was so lost in my thoughts that it took me a while to answer.
"Are you ok?" He asked sounding a little worried. I was so shocked that I couldn't stop stammering when answering his question.
Am fine. Just a little shocked and very annoyed you don’t have to worry.

   And can I ask caused this..?He asked nervously.
He sounded so nervous that I found it funny.
"Look if you are thinking you are the cause of me being annoyed the answer is No. I just received a call from my ex that all." Don’t worry I didn’t hear first three syllabus he said.
He became silent for some time. "Well to change your mood guess where I am ".

How in heavens name am I supposed to know where you are? I clearly don’t remember getting a job as your passport keeper or worse me being in charge of where you decide to go to. So you better tell me where you are cos I hate guessing.

Can’t you be a darling for once and play along? He said.
Okay just this once

"Hmmmm are you in Paris?
No
Switzerland?
No
Italy?
No
"what's up with the NO's? I’m tired of guessing, just tell me where the hell you are! I said.
Since you are pleading so much am going to tell you. Am IN................

What’s with the suspense just tell me or else I’m gonna hung up.
Silence. Complete silence.
What just tell me already.......
You have three seconds to tell the me or else I will hung up.

CHILLAX!! You don’t have to be so uptight.  Who poured salt in your tea cos you are being way too salty fot my liking.

OK Darah am in. .front. ..of. ..your. ...apartment.

YOU ARE WHAT? HOW COME? This is a prank right?

No am actually right in front of your door. If you don't believe me you can come check for yourself.

I run to door to pull it open only to find a very handsome Adonis looking guy with brown hair and a well sculptured body standing right in front of me smiling like he's replacing the sun for some hours until the actual sun rises tomorrow morning, and me being my usual self which is being stupid  smacked the door right in his face.
WHAT THE HELL?

I whispered to myself and tried my possible best to understand and calm myself while still recovering from the shock.
If you are done freaking out can you let me in am tired.
I timidly walked to the door and opened it to see a smiling Jake with his hand in his hair and a small traveling bag behind him.....
Oooo shit............
