It was raining heavily.  She sat on the bench at the bus stop with her arms wrapped around her chest, she was waiting for the next bus. She had sat under the rain for more than thirty minutes but the bus still hasn't arrived. She was beginning to get very cold. She was all drenched, from her hair down to her pants. She closed her eyes to stop the water dripping from her hair from entering her eyes when she suddenly noticed she wasn't beaten by the rain anymore. She opened her eyes only to see that it was still raining heavily. She looked up and saw someone holding an umbrella over head. The umbrella blocked the person's face so she couldn't see who it was but she knew it was a man.

" Are you okay?" The man asked adjusting the umbrella so she could see his face.

She stared at the person in front of her. She didn't recognize him. He was also drenched but he still placed the umbrella over head.

" I.... I'm fine" She said as she stood up but her legs suddenly felt weak and she fell backwards. The man grabbed her before she could hit the floor.

" Miss?" He called but she didn't respond. Her eyes were completely shut. She had fainted.

Isa woke up the next the morning to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She was still looking around the room, wondering where she was when she realized she wasn't in her clothes. The clothes she wore didn't belong to her. Just as she was about to get up from the bed, the door opened and a young man walked into the room. She stopped to stare at the man. He was handsome, his dark hair falling forward as he dropped the tray he was carrying on the table. He raised his head to look at her and Isa caught a glimpse of his blue eyes. His lips stretched into a smile as he said

" Good morning" in the most beautiful voice she had ever heard.

"Are you okay?" His voice brought Isa back to her senses.

" I... I'm fine" She answered. " Who are you?" She asked.

" Forgive my manners " He said smiling as he sat next to her.

" I'm Ricardo, the guy you met under the rain last night "

Isa remembered that a man approached her last night but she didn't remember what happened afterwards.

" You fainted, I guess it was due to the cold. I didn't know where you live so I had to bring you here"

Isa nodded. " What happened to my clothes?"

" I had them changed. They were so wet" He answered.

Isa's eye widened. He what? He changed my clothes? She thought. Ricardo saw the expression on her face and he chuckled.

" No, I wasn't the one who changed it " He said. " I had my maid do it"

Isa was relieved. She couldn't bring herself to imagine that he changed her clothes.

" I brought this for you. It should help with the cold" He said as he gave a mug.

" Thank you " Isa said as she brought the mug to her lips and took a sip of the hot tea. It was exactly what she needed.

" I'd have Margaret bring your clothes so you can change into them and Come down for breakfast" He said and walked out of the room.

~~~~~~~~~

Isa already had breakfast and she had changed into her clothes. Margaret already washed and dried them. She just came out of the room when she saw Ricardo.

" You're leaving?" He asked

" Yeah"  She replied. " Thank you for your hospitality. I really appreciate it"

" It's fine" He smiled at her again. " Can I drop you off?"

" No" Isa said. " I don't want to be a bother"

" I would really love to" He insisted and Isa agreed to allow him take her home.

They arrived at her house in no time and Isa came down from the car after she had thanked him and waved him goodbye. She walked into her house to see her best friends, Racheal and Jaime.

" Guys?" She called as she entered the room.

" Isa!" Jaime said as he rushed to her and hugged her tightly. Isa was caught off guard and she stood there in shock . "I was so worried about you" He said.
