This is for the woman I love, the most amazing person I have ever known. Call Me Luke, I'm currently working at a Law Firm here in London but I'm from Cebu, I stayed there for a very long time so I'm still used to speaking the local language but with matching British.

My family migrated in London about 7 years ago, but there's no place like home so I pursued my law prep here in the Phillipines. After I graduated, I decided to continue my masters abroad but I usually go home every summer to meet with some old friends because I  have my condo unit in Manila and Cebu.

That summer, I was not doing fine, it was during the hardest times in my life, those times when I finally decided to end my toxic relationship with someone. I fought for that one girl my entire life, and I did my best to pursue my ambitions for her and for our future but found out I was fighting alone, I thought my life would eventually end the moment she left. I drank and partied 24/7 to forget her, until she stepped into my life. I was at a bar in Cebu that night, it was around 2 A.M when I saw her, she look naive, feels like she don't deserve to be in that place that late, so I approached her.

"Miss, you alright?"

"Oh, yes. I am. Just a bit uncomfortable."

"Yep, I see that. Anything I can do to help?"

"Nope, I just – I gotta go...Have fun!" Then she walked away.

She was different. She got this very classy look specially in her red dress, she got this tiny eyes, beautiful body, her hair is natural, not rebonded and she wore braces – she's beautiful, just the way she is. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I'm in love in a first sight, I think. So, I ran as fast as I could to catch her and luckily, she's still in the parking lot.

"You'll drive home alone this late, Miss?" I asked

She almost yelled. "Oh, didn't saw you coming, but yes – I'm used to driving alone."

She's beautiful even when she's just simple.

Her phone rings, it was on loud speaker so I heard the voice of the caller.

"Doc? We need you here, it's urgent." Said by someone over the phone.

"Okay, I'll be in touch. See you."

"So, you're a doctor?" I asked when the call ended.

"Uhm, yes, and you?" She look at me.

"Well, I'm still taking my masters abroad, just spending my summer here for good. I'm Luke, by the way."

"Okay, nice knowing you, Luke but I gotta go, it's urgent." She said in a hurry.

"Okay, be safe..." I said feeling kind of disappointed.

I was not able to finish my sentence because she grabbed her car keys immediately. I just watched her from afar and made sure she can drive safely, but then, something went wrong.

"What's wrong?" I approach her.

"Gosh, I think I run out of fuel." she replied. Worry was evident in her voice and face expression.

"I can drive you, don't worry." I grabbed my keys and drove her to the hospital.

"I forgot to ask your name."

"Oh, sorry, I'm Belle."

I would love to know more about her but I lacked confidence that time. I don't want to miss even a single second to know her better but I couldn't, she makes me feel insane, I became speechless.
I didn't even notice we were at the entrance of the hospital.
