JUST A LITTLE LOVE

MEETING HER

Andria was woken up by the chirping sounds of birds announcing the arrival of dawn. Through the slits of her eyes she could see the tiny bright lights of the morning showing through the spaces at the window shutters. She yawned out loudly as she rolled out of bed,slipping her feet into her worn out slippers.Her long dark hair was in a mess from the various restless turns she made while sleeping last night.She couldn't help herself from letting the past take a hold of her even in her dreams,at least she felt a bit glad that it was already morning,a cool one at that,last nights supposed rain only turned out to be a drizzle and nothing more.Opening up the shutters,she breathed in the wonderful air,letting herself grasp the reason why she was still alive,perhaps for a reason or so or else she should have been long dead.

Moving into the bathroom,she washed her face,staring into the mirror which stared back at her with a pale face and brown tired eyes.Her hair was in a lank,more messier than she thought, and then her fair complexion was already a bit dark both from malnutrition and various reasons. Andria gazed at her appearance in the mirror,if she was ever told that her life was going to turn out this way, she wouldn't have believed it. But now,she was the one acknowledging the fact that her life was already like that. She sighed fixing her pasted toothbrush in her mouth as she quickly brushed her teeth. Her pint sized pantry had run short of foodstuffs again, the little cash she made out of selling her diamond necklace,her late mother had given to her as a present was quickly running out and she had no other source of income. She wondered what the future held in store for her when she eventually ran out of money. Hastening up her pinny-panky with the toothbrush, she scurried into the shower,hoping her worries would go down with the flowing water.

Enrique checked his wrist watch for the upteenth time,he was getting restless from the delaying traffic on the road. Some drivers were sounding their horns annoyingly at the vehicles before them, others were hurling curses at them. While he sat impatiently in his black Lexus jeep,wondering when New York was going to improve in the aspects of traffics. His arriving to his family home also wasn't settling well with him,he had lots of businesses to handle at Los Angeles were he mainly resided but now,his parents were saying something about their own businesses crashing and they needed assistance, of which Enrique knew wasn't the only reason for calling him back,they had other stuffs up their sleeves. Anyways,he decided to come back, it'd been very long he saw them,precisely 3 years.He had less time to spend with them ever since he started his company and decided to grab this opportunity, besides he had loyal employees who meant well for the company and he had less to worry about. But he decided to stay for a week in a hotel before going to his family home, he needed a little time to put his thoughts together before he could join them home.

Finally having a lot of space to drive along the road,he manoeuvred into a busy market place. It had been long he felt the freedom of going around,owing to the fact that he was the renowned well known young billionaire bachelor,he always had the paparazzi's around him,which almost drove him to being a recluse. But today,at the secluded New York market,he was sure prying eyes wouldn't be that much, everyone was busy with their goods and he prayed they could be that way while he went about his own business. Stepping out of the car, he locked it,moving over to some fruit selling shop,he gazed at the many savouring fruits,wondering which one his Mum was going to enjoy more when he eventually go to their family home during the weekend. The fruit seller suddenly took notice of him,showing her white teeth in a bid to smile her best,she gestured for him to move closer and sample her fruits, Enrique gave a little sheepish smile as he made to turn around and take a clear view of the fruits when a lady bumped into him,causing the groceries she had in her hands to spill out. Enrique got confused as he bent to help her pick the items up.

"I'm so sorry"Enrique said calmly trying to ease the girl's mind as she seemed tensed.
"N..no problem...I'll just pick it" Andria said in her normal tensy voice
Enrique helped her with the items and then they finally stood up together. He now finally had time to access the lady's features while she did him. She was wearing a long green gown which had a scarf covered from her head to her shoulders. Her face was that of an innocent beauty,she clutched at her grocery bag as if her life depended on it. Andria stared at the handsome man before her,his blue eyes looked tenderly into hers or so she thought,his curly brown hair complimented his fair skin. The way in which he dressed showed this aura he supposedly had, Andria cast her eyes down... She was staring too much and it was getting embarrassing. She made an attempt to move away when he held her arms,causing electric waves to trigger down her body.

"Just gonna walk out?" He asked calmly,shocking her more,he then brought out his hand with a spicy cube on it
"you forgot this" he said watching her steadily.
"Thanks...bye"Andria said sharply before hurriedly walking out,every moment she wasted outside drew her closer to meeting Max again.
Enrique looked back at the leaving lady,something about her struck him but,he shrugged it off, walking towards were he was supposed to buy his fruits,there were other stuffs to think about.
