It's All Down To Trust

Meeting Mr. Perfect

Sang**

    It's been almost a week since I met Sean and we looked at the house. I loved it. It was a small cottage style house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living room had built in shelves for all the books I made my father buy throughout the years. It had a fire place that made it feel cozy, walk in closets, and enough storage for all the stuff I might accumulate as I get older. The kitchen was remodeled recently with cherry wood cabinets, an island and all new appliances that would come with the house. The back yard was fenced in with a flower garden and a beautiful fountain. There was a pool and a small  pool house off to the side. I was instantly in love and made an offer which they owners accepted.  I even offered a few thousand more after the offer they accepted to make sure I was able to get in the house within the next week or two.
    Sean has been helpful the whole time. I even consider him a friend now. The first day we met I had my Computer Science class and was able to do a background check on him.
    Sean was adopted when he was a baby, became a doctor and the only bad mark he has is a speeding ticket from a few years back. He's a few years older than me and his background check came back clean. The only thing I didn't understand was why he started taking classes a week ago when he's already been through schooling. I found that odd but so far he's been a gentlemen and I was going to try to not be suspicious of him since he was my only friend.
    Since it was Sunday and I didn't have any classes, I decided to pack the rest of my things. I knew I had to keep my clothes in my closet until it was time to move out but I wanted to get the rest of my things out of the house just in case something happened.
    It took me four hours to pack everything and since my parents and Marie were gone, hanging out with their elite friends, it was the only time to get my things out of the house. I brought all of my boxes down from my room and brought them to a house a few blocks over where a nice lady lived with her daughter, Jessica.
  Erica was so nice to me and I envied the relationship she had with her  daughter. She knew what my home life was like and invited me over as often as she could. She was a nurse and always tended to my wounds since my parents would find out if I went to the hospital. She also tried to play match maker with her son whom I never met. After the hundredth time of turning her down she finally stopped.
    I knocked on her door and waited for her. Today was one of her only days off so I knew that she would still be in her pajamas, lounging around with Jessica.
"Hi sweetie." Erica smiled when she opened the door.
"Hi." I smiled back. "I found a place to live and was wondering if I could bring my boxes here until I can move in. It should only be a week or two." I gave her a hopeful look and knew that she was going to say yes either way.
"Of course Sang. Do you need any help moving them over here?" She asked. "My son should be by this evening."
"No thank you. I um, I already have them in the yard. It only took me a few trips with the wagon." I smiled.
    Erica helped me bring in all the boxes to her garage and then we said goodbye. Her son was coming over and maybe one day I would stay to meet him but today was not that day.
    No one was home yet when I got to the house. I made sure my room was cleaned and that you couldn't tell that I was planning anything. After that, I made sure the rest of the house was spotless so there wouldn't be any punishment, not that it stopped her. She would find something I was sure. The next few hours dragged on. Since it was daylight still, I figured I could go see Sean. He told me if I wanted to hang out all I had to do was call. I memorized his number and called from the house phone.
"Hello." Sean answered.
"Hi. Um it's Sang. I was just wanting to know if you wanted to hang out for a few hours. Um... if you aren't busy of course."
  There was a long pause and I was regretting it. He probably only gave me his number to be polite. I'm sure he didn't actually want to hang out with me.
"Hi Pookie. I'd love too. Want to grab a bite to eat? I have a friend with me. We can swing by and pick you up to grab some pizza?" He sounded excited. That was good.
"Sounds great. I'll just meet you on campus in 30 minutes."
    We hung up and I got ready to go. Luckily Marie wore decent clothes because I got all of her old ones. Mother said that I didn't deserve new clothes.
    I put on a pair of black skinny jeans and an off the shoulder blue blouse. Adding my chucks and checking my hair, I was out the door in five minutes.
     I made it to campus and saw Sean standing outside his car with his friend. I almost froze in my walking. This guy looked perfect. There wasn't a brown hair out of place. His black rimmed glasses sat perfectly on his nose. The gray suit fit him like a glove and the silver tie completed his look. He was gorgeous.
    When Sean saw me, his face lit up. Mr. Prefect turned around and I felt like I could get lost in his steel gray eyes. I realized I was going to be in trouble with Sean and his group of friends and that made me nervous.
"Hi Miss Sorenson."
"Hi." I smiled shyly. "Please just call me Sang." I was practically begging him. I hated my last name. I didn't want to be associated with the people I share a last name with.
"Very well. My name is Owen Blackbourne."
"It's nice to meet you Owen."
Even his voice was freaking perfect, I was going to be in so much trouble.
