Just a Fate -The Beginning-

"Vanessa. Are you dating Andrew?"

"Huh?!?!?! I'm not!!" The girl was so shocked she almost jumped on the spot. Reluctantly, she asked while blushing. "W-what makes grandma said that...?"

The old woman called grandma by the girl was another volunteer in the orphanage as well. But she was more like the official caretaker because she went to orphanage almost every day as her house is close. Just like the girl, the grandma loves taking care of the children and think of them as her grandchildren.

"Hahaha... I just thought he is such a fine man. Recently both of you seem to be more closer and maybe....?"

"I-it's not like that grandma..."

"Oh my. But you guys look nice to each other. Andrew is a good boy so he suits you. You need a reliable man in your life too, dear."

The girl blushed.

"I... I don't know about that... I agree Andrew-san is a wonderful person but I'm sure a splendid person like him has a girlfriend already."

"He hasn't."

"Huh?!"

"Hahaha.. I asked him the other day and he said he is single. Then I recommended you, he said he doesn't have any worth to be with someone like an angel existence. Oh my! Such a humble young man!"

"A-angel...?" She blushed, flustered with the thought of Andrew calling her angel. "W-wait! Why grandma recommended me in the first place! It's so embarrassing!"

"Hahaha..." The old woman is chuckling gently, enjoying the sight of flushed young girl.

The girl knew the blond man has a way of words. Ever since that day, he makes her became more flustered day by day.

'I never feel this way before...' she went back to work to calm her overreaction.

'Of course I like Andrew-san. He is a good person and a reliable one. I admired him. But why it makes me so tense...? Am I truly..?'

She never feels this nervous when she admired someone unless the person is famous or something. Of course the blond guy is a capable person but she shouldn't be too flustered to be with him.

There was a time where she slipped and bumped into him until they fell to floor together. At that time, Andrew just came out from shower because he got paint all over him as the children were way too excited with the art session.

His beautiful sapphire eyes...his wet hair...the smell of soap...his well toned body that can be felt once you touch him...

'....?!!??! W-WHAT AM I THINKING?!'

Ever since that incident, she becomes even aware with him physically.

She discussed this with her older sister before and she just laughed.

"So you finally became physically attracted with a man."

"Nee-san!!"

"It's a good news lol. I'm worried you will just grow old without any man. Go on. Attack him with all your might."

"A-attack?! I don't have such any intention!"

"Why? He already got a nice personality and what you always lack is physically attracted to a guy. Now you feel it, go on and confess your feelings."

"Confess...?! I don't think I'm...!"

"You fell in love with him, right?"

"....?!"
