IS LOVE HERE TO STAY?

chapter 1

Sharie wanted to show Kelby, her designs she had drawn to be made after she had called Kelby to come visit she decided to go outside and water her garden.

Kelby arrived and parked her small sedan car on the drive way outside of Sharie's house and saw Sharie watering her garden. greeting her "what are you doing I thought you were drawing your designs"

"Ugh, It's so hot today. Where is the rain the weatherman promised. I am so tired of having to come outside and water my garden in this heat just to keep it alive. I just of soon started a cactus garden, at least it doesn't need watering so much, I just need rain for my garden to grow." complained Sharie Nebyia.

Her best friend Kelby Neiah was visiting, enjoying being outside with Sharie, "You know the weather is unpredictable just like it is today, this is just a part of what it will be this summer." and looking into the distance seeing a very dark and luminous gray cloud "ugh look over there I see a cloud that wasn't there when I got here" when a huge loud clap of thunder could be heard in the distant, a bolt of lighting striking not far away did Kelby let out a blood curdling scream, causing Sharie to turn around quickly reaching for the shutoff valve to the watering hose.

"I can't believe that you are frightened by just lighting flashes you should learn to relax a little more." as a big drop of rain started splattering on Sharie's face startling her to squeal.

As her friend Kelby started laughing "The same to you, a complainer." both young women were laughing and running for the back porch awning.

as they had reached the back porch at the rear of the house Sharie found her cell phone which was ringing with a sharp and crisp tone letting her know it was her brother calling her.

Sean(pronounced Shawn) Nebyia voice could be heard on the other end of the phone " sis are you going to the reunion banquet from school for the annual Alumni for our high school, this year?"

Sharie "no, you know that I don't go to those silly things they are so childish, besides they happen every year which is ridiculous to me. I really wish to stay home and work on my designs and keep my garden watered. What so special about this year?"

"Well I guess you won't be seeing Ethan Callsburg-Dakster when he shows up asking for you the umpteenth time and I'm not going to lie any more for you, besides he probably won't be there as his parent are having their garden party the same weekend as well. you're stick in the mud sister." Sean told he in his playful tone of voice.

Sharie flatly stated "I'm definitely not going then, I'll stay at home." and with that she hung up the phone.

Kelby said her goodbyes to Sharie, leaving so she could go shopping for the formal dress to wear to the Alumni banquet for the high school reunion set for Saturday night at the Miexen Hotel there in town.

After Kelby had left, she started feeling puzzled about why her brother had mentioned Ethan Callsburg-Dakster at all to her, she had tried to avoid him at all cost to just not have to be around him. she thought him to be a plague that showed up when you least expect him to and do silly things that would get them into trouble.

Sharie's grandmother had delivered a dress she had made for Sharie to wear to the alumni banquet the coming Saturday night when she would go with her brother Sean to see all of her school friends one last time as her grandmother knew it would be the last time for Sean as he would be getting married at the end of summer to a young lady who's family was super big in the fashion industry. Sharie wasn't spoiled like everyone thought she was as they saw the next years fashions that her mom and grandmother had made for years. Most all of the girls at the high school made fun of her because of the homemade fashion clothes sewn by her mother and grandmother not realizing that they were for the following season in Italy show case by Sharie's dad James Ramonly who was in Italy still designing clothes and hosting shows around the European Nations and in the USA as well.

Sharie really liked to help her mother and grandmother with choosing the materials to work with and designing some of the dresses and suits for her brother. These materials were sent over from Italy and Spain as well as some of the other manufacturers around the world that she worked with, she even knew that the Callsburg and Dakster families were big on their designs for formal wear and the semi-formal wear as well, Julia Callsburg -Dakster really liked the everyday designs for her office wear that Sharie herself had designed, she even offered to send Sharie to a design school in Spain to learn more of her trade and how to better her drawing if she wanted to. This was the beginning for Sharie to keep doing what she loved to do and she even asked her mother how she became a designer as well.

Sharie sat down at her desk to draw out a design and kept going with what she thought was for her brother and as she drew the dinner jacket was long sleeved as to fit someone with long arms and the shoulders were very broad and needed the room to move and reach as well as fit around the middle to keep the jacket closed as to keep the shirt safe if needed. As she continued to draw she absent mindedly sketched in a face that was similar to that of Ethan Callsburg-Dakster. After that she took a break from the drawing board and retrieved her tea she was drinking from earlier, upon returning she noticed the face resembled that of Ethan's. She had drawn out the whole outfit for him unbeknownst to her as she was off in her on world.
