Tesera Amore:Lana Aldwins

Chapter I

It was 3:55pm in my watch and I was too lazy to come home today. The weather is nice and there were a few people today at Port Bay, most people come here for fishing, or golf.

I was deciding whether i should come home now or later. Think Lana, just think.

Hmmm.

Well they bay is kinda far from my home, its like a 30 minute drive with my Lexus, this bay is north of Wolcott village, the place where I live. Maybe I should try to take more photos for awhile, then I will treat myself with Icecream and go back home. I'll be home at around 5:30 then.

If your curious why I'm here, its because I needed time for myself. At home dad or mom would probably be there and if I go home now, then they'll try to torture me again with boring discussions and advices that I have heard a thousand times since I first entered college which is ALWAYs about my life, my future, and my career..

Well, mom and dad are busy people, we can only meet for about 3 hours a day. That's like 21 hours a week. Most people expect they could enjoy a care free life if they had my parents, but I guess Mr. and Mrs. Aldwins are just unique. You see, whenever they had the time to talk or to spend time with their only daughter, all they do was to focus on my life, not on me. They are very keen on discussing about my 3rd year in college, about my grades, my future carreer as a doctor and so on.

Sometimes I got fed up with all of those stuffs and just go somewhere peaceful, somewhere beautiful, some place where I can express my self. Lana not as a doctor, but a photographer.

I took a few more on the green september grass and try to focus my eyes on the surrounding. I began to take picture again, the green grass, the blue sky, the clear waters, and someone who was throwing rocks at the lake side.. hmmm interesting.

There's a ring on the lens of my Dslr camera and I rotated it so that my subject comes into focus, a guy simply clad in a sport shirt and jeans, he's like taller than me in a few more inches and he was turning away from me so all I could see was his short dark chocolate hair and his well toned body. I began to take candid photos of him, he was forcefully throwing small pebbles or rocks at the water. 7 shots all in all, and I began to browse through his candid shots.

Well, not bad at all.. I could add these to my candid collection. Now I can go and get myself some chocolate icecream! I turned around and started walking, still browsing some more photos that I have taken.

"Hey!" I jumped in shock when I heard an unfamiliar voice coming not far behind me. I looked to know who it is.

The guy I was taking pictures of was walking towards me. Oh, he must have noticed then.

"Hey" I replied in my plummy voice. Wondering why he'd come.

As I get a clearer view of him, I can see that this guy totally was meant to be photographed. Why?

He had piercing almond-shaped eyes, the blue colors were mesmerizing. His thin lips curved in a smile. His face flawless. His general appearance seemed to intimidate me.

No way. Yes way! my unconscious mind popped inside my head.

"Can I see my pictures?" he asked. I faked a smile, but i was effin nervous.

"Uhh, sure. Sorry." I said in a soft tone as not to reveal my nervousness. I handed him my camera, and it took a minute or two for him to finally give it back to me. "Well you sure are good in photography.. miss...?" He paused to ask for my name. "Lana, lana aldwins." I tried to look calm but hey this guy looked so gorgeous.

"Lana, thats a beautiful name. Well, thanks for taking those pictures of me, but mind if I tell you, I hate candid photos of me, well, usually. "

He stared at my blank face for a moment, then went out a small high pitched laugh. "Just kidding" He added gleefully.
