CHAPTER 1: HIM AND HER
Getting To Know HER
(Sarah's POV)
How do I best describe myself? Well, one word - ORDINARY. I mean, I'm not like those IT girls that you see around the high-class places. You won't see me partying like most girls and young ladies my age do. I don't regularly go to the malls. I'm not into social networking (Hello, what's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?) as I don't feel that they are life's necessities. My life revolves around 2 things - work and home.
Each day my routine will be this: wake up early, prepare breakfast for my younger brother and sister, prepare for work, work, go home straight from work, prepare our dinner, sleep… The same things happen every day. You see why I said I’m too boring and too ordinary?
This has been my routine since I was sixteen. We no longer have our parents – our mother died at a very young age due to cancer, our father, well, he’s a lost case. He got addicted to alcohol after our mother died, forgot that he still have us – his children and simply stopped living. Then one day, we just simple woke up without a father. Since then, I stopped going to school and instead, worked for my brother and sister. I wanted them to finish their studies – an opportunity that I never had. I tried applying at all types of establishments just to get a decent living, anything. After jumping from one work to another, I finally got a stable job at a pizza/restaurant a couple of ride away from our small abode.
4 years later and here I am. Through hardwork and dedication, I got promoted as the manager of the restaurant where am working at. Of course, it wasn’t easy. I had to really take time to learn everything and pour everything I have to reach this. I still have dreams of finishing up my studies, but for now it’s impossible as my other siblings are both in school and expenses are getting higher and well, more expensive.
I already want to fulfill my dreams. If only I can make the time go faster, I would. I want to see my brother and sister earn their degrees, have their own work, and only then can I focus on myself. I’m getting a bit tired of the same routine that I have every single day. Perhaps I just need to take a short vacation, by myself and have a breather.
What? Love? Oh, sorry, it’s not even in my list. I would say that I don’t have time for it as of the moment. I don’t need the distraction that it would bring to my life…

Getting to Know HIM
(Sam’s POV)
How do I describe myself? Well, rich, good looking with a nice body, spoiled, educated. Need to say more? Hahaha, yeah, I’m quite conceited; I have the rights anyways to be one.
I live in a high-end condo, away from my parents. Well, it was my choice. As soon as I turned 21, I left our house and decided to live on my own. Away from my parents – from my annoying dad (annoying, cause he keeps on monitoring me) and from my nagging (in a lovable way) mom.
I love having fun and thrills. I usually go out of town with my friends to go sky-diving, races, diving, hiking, climbing, whatever activity I can join. Yeah, yeah, I have all the time in the world to enjoy everything. The perks of having everything and for being born with a gold spoon in my mouth. Most people, especially my dad sees me as a worthless thug, a bum. But hey, I do have my own fountain of wealth.
I am currently managing (and yes, I’m the founder and owner as well) of an Information Technology / software company. We take care of programming, developing softwares for all type of companies/industries. That’s why I don’t need to be in the office all the time. I can managemy company and my people even when am at home or wherever.
To be honest, I’m getting bored. I’ve tried everything I can – from the safe activities up to the extreme and dangerous ones. I love the rush of adrenaline every time I do something new. But now? I don’t know. Perhaps am getting tired of all the excitement. It seems like at a very young age, I have done everything a person can do in a lifetime.
What is that? Oh love? Nah, I don’t do love. I have girlfriends everywhere to erm, satisfy my manly needs. No, love is definitely not my cup of tea.
