Call it Luck

Chapter 1-Page 1

Just the beginning

One of those days again. Just me and my phone alone in my bedroom. I'm sick and tired living the same day over and over again; I need a change and fast. I got off my bed with some lazy moves and went to the bathroom. It's sad to say that my black circles were now visible even in the dark room, washed my face and my teeth and back to bed. Night has come and I was still in my pajamas wondering around the house and looking outside the window, at the cloudy sky leaving some tears running down the glass here and there, while i was wondering when was the last time I went out and talked to someone.

I opened my laptop and entered my password on my account. Alec. Someone has sent me a message, someone I didn't know but I have to admit he's pretty attractive. Is it safe though to risk it, to start talking to him and who knows where it'll end up? No, I won't do that; I won't start talking to a stranger with the excuse that I feel lonely. I left the message as it was and closed the screen letting it where I found it, heading toward the bathroom to take a shower.

Brown eyes and dark hair, his skin was tanned and his body toned up. He had this gaze that had a promising fire that if you get close to him, you will burn together. It was the first time I was so attracted to a guy, only his photos where evaluable for me, well at the time being. The water was traveling on my whole body cold, driving chills all over my body, just thinking that this guy right now is waiting for my answer. Or maybe not? I checked even his information and I found that he was from the same place as me, but his location at the moment is in London. No way just forget it Gabriella, that kind of things are not for you.

I closed the water, grabbed my towel dried myself but left some dump places here and there since the atmosphere was still hot. I slipped into my long shirt and just with that on I jumped onto my couch, grabbed my phone and put on some music. I took my book and went through the last pages that were left and I was pretty happy with the ending since the two characters ended up together, just like I wanted.

One week has passed and everything was pretty the same. I sat on my window with a cup of hot coffee looking at the rain and my mind wondering all over the place. A noise from my phone drove me away from my thoughts and I dragged myself toward the noise. It was him again, Alec. I opened the message and I read what was written.

-Hi Gabriella.

I didn't know what to do but something inside me told me that this guy wasn't dangerous like the last one that messed me up pretty bad. My message was written and ready to be send, but I deleted it. I left the phone next to me stealing a sip from my coffee, trying to think. "No this time I will dare to do something new, something that might change my life. Even a good friend might give me the smile I have lost the last few months." And so I took my phone into my hands again and I send that message to the only person that had my head spinning all those 7 days.

-Hi Alec.
