RECAP:
Troy slowly leaned toward me with his eyes on me the whole time.
Slowly , I also leaned forward .
Our lips were just about to meet when suddenly we heard Anastasia crying so loud that she could bring the entire house down.
We sprang apart , and looked around guiltily ,looking to see if anybody saw us .
CHAPTER - 4
"Uh.......um......I should probably get going. Mom must be waiting for me. " I said quickly while looking around.
"Ooohk , yeah its getting late" he said while blushing.
"Bye."
"Bye . If you have any problem come to me any time." He said looking everywhere except at me.
"Okay " were the final words I said as I left his house.
Back home I sat in my room , on the floor with my back to the door looking at the photo kept on my bed-side table .
In the photo I was hugging dad , we both were laughing and my brother's on the swings behind us. Mom had taken it the day when we had gone for a picnic.
It was the most beautiful photo of me and dad .
My mom loved this photo so much that she had got it blown it up, poster size and hung it in the hallway.
My dad was The perfect man I had ever met.
There haven't been many men in my life .
Just 4 or 5 I had been close to.
Really close to.
But , My dad , David Anderson was one man I admired the most in the entire world.
David Anderson ,the most sought after lawyer was my father and I was proud of being his daughter.
He could win any case he laid his hands on.
Once he started on a case , he would throw himself in it , do research day and night and come out and win the case with flying colors' and was truly an asset to the community.]
I mean ,I cannot remember a person in my life that had a more significant influence on me than my father.
He always sacrificed his desires to provide a better standard of living for us.
But life isn't fair.
Life didn't give a long enough chance for him to see me and Nick grow into adults and get married.
And that's why I hate life.
He would never see me complete my education or get my first job .
Because of some people , I would never see my dad again.
He made me so very happy .
But .........
Yes , there's always a but.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I had tried to keep distance from boys , not to let my guard down after what happened with my best -friend .
Oops , I mean my Ex- boy best friend.
But, today with Troy...........
I had almost let my guard down .
Moving here to start a whole new life to get away from the place dad was murdered and I lost my best-friend due to my stupidity.
I just wish sometimes I would keep my mouth shut .
I just wish I could go back in time and change some things.
If I had the power, things would have been so different today.
Troy was different , he made me feel safe and secure around him.
I felt as if I could trust him ,tell him about my past.
But it was too difficult .
I got up , changed into my pajamas and climbed into the bed tucking the covers around me.
I lay in bed and strictly told myself that I won't think anymore .
I was exhausted with all this over thinking and tried to count sheep to get to sleep.
But not before kissing the photograph of me ,dad and Nick good -night.
I lay in bed counting sheep and finally fell into a dreamless sleep.
