Dakota's POV :-
Finally!!. My muscles relaxed when I reached my destination. I really didn't had a perfect plan as where to go, but going as far as I could from that place is best. I want to be independent and this is the place where I can achieve my dream. "New York " "The city which never sleeps."
But the only thing I wish right now is that I just reach her home soon. By her I meant my friend I met at Friends Book. She told me I could stay there for a while. I know you might think I'm insane to just live with someone I met at social media but believe me there's something about her which let me believe her.
Oh well! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dakota Waters. I am 18 with brunette hair which lies just below my chest. I have simple brown eyes, pale skin and not so pretty face as people say because I wear spectacles. But I'm proud of who I am. People tell me I'm a nerd but in fact I'm just a girl who would rather be engrossed to a book than fake people.
I am walking for quite long now but can't really understand the streets. For me its all the same. I know you might think why didn't I just took a taxi? Well I wanted to...but who would like to waste their money when you have perfect legs to walk?. One thing I found quite unusual is people looking weirdly at me for a while when i asked them the direction to my destination, as if I'm some kind of zombie walking in the street. Common! I'm not that ugly now, m I? After so much of awkward asking and walking I thought I was at the right street but the beautiful houses or should I say mansion are making me doubt my instincts. I guess I should ask some people.. and that's what I thought unless I realized how deserted the place was. And that's when my brain started filling up with exaggerated scenes...What if someone kidnaps me? or even worst, rape me? Will there be my knight in shining armour to save me? These insane thought started swirling in my mind until I realized I reached the end of the road and finally to a house which had the exact address plate as in the paper I had. Thank god! Guess god don't want me to suffer much with my small handy suitcase. I pressed the bell and suddenly saw a man in his late forties on other side of the gate,who just watched me the same way other people did. Guess people here don't really like me. Anyway I just showed my pearly white teeth.
" Excuse me, I am here to meet Adriana Nolchan. Can you inform her that Dakota Waters has come?"
"Okay! please,wait for few minutes."
I just looked at the astonishing surrounding to pass my time until the man "Ben Grover " as his name tag contained looked at me and opened the gate to...dare I say heaven.
The place I mean mansion is more beautiful than my.....
"Please follow me Miss.Waters"
"Huh? Oh! please just call me Dakota"
He just smiled at me and showed me the way.
The doors were too big and I kind of looked dwarf in my 5'6 height. When the doors opened I saw her my friend from Friends book and my savior, Adriana. Using social media is not that perilous unless you meet people like Adriana. But seriously, she is more beautiful in real than in photos. Such a natural beauty with her baby blue eyes,tanned skin, black hair and the perfect figure. Her dress was quite classy than my hood and jeans. Guess! I even lack sense of fashion. But what can I say? These baggy clothes defined me the best. Even my Mom used to tell me dress properly...damn I miss my mom.
Then, she suddenly ran to me and hugged me too tight and said "I'm so happy that you're finally here. I so longed for a person to stay here with me so that I could share my things,time and problems and enjoy a lot. "
I don't think so we will enjoy if you crush me like that,cutting of my oxygen supply. I thought of saying that but nothing came out except "Can...n..t..bre..a.th..e.." She reluctantly let me go and gave me a shy smile.
" I'm sorry I just get hyper sometimes. Anyway,Did you have any problem to reach here? You know I could have sent the car for you."
"Oh! no. There was no problem. Except from some people staring weirdly at me. Guess people here don't really like nerds."
" I'm so sorry. I should have sent the car so you wouldn't have to face that. Some people here are quite judgmental."
"It's fine. Don't stress much. I'm kind of used to it. Anyway can you show me the room? So you know I could just freshen up a little? I'm kind of tired."
" Oh! sorry .Come this way."
"For a petite and smiley girl you do say sorry a lot."
"Haha..yeah its just habit.I'm quite clumsy so telling sorry is quite obvious out of my mouth."
"I bet you are not as clumsy as I am." I said
She just blushed and smiled at me shyly. So, I just followed her looking at the precious paintings that hung in the wall. Soon,she opened the door to a room which just say left me breathless.
There was a big queen sized bed in the middle with lamps on either side of the bed. There were two more doors guess one for closet and the other for the restroom. The room was blueish-green with well furnished floor. A big LED was set at the wall above the study table. I could see collections of bestseller in the small see through cupboard. Guess I'm never going out of this room.
"Did you like the room?"
" Like it? I freaking love it.Its really beautiful specially the balcony. "
Yes! there is a balcony. I could see the beautiful scenery outside. I really am a nature lover.
"Okay then you freshen up. I will just send someone with your lunch."
"Oh! thank you so much Adriana. I owe you a lot and I promise as soon as I get admission and job I will shift."
"Stop talking about future just enjoy for now. And what happened to I'm so tired? phrase? "
"Oh! right!"
She then left the room and I literally ran to the balcony and just enjoyed the fresh air. The air which will make me independent and help me grow.
I then went to restroom to take a long hot water bubble bath which made my sore muscles relax. I don't how long I was in the bath tub but then I heard some noise. Guess the maid came.
I wore a bathrobe and came out but saw none. I wore my spectacles,without it my eyes are useless..well..not totally but you still get the point. And then I heard the sounds again which mostly came from downstairs. Out of curiosity, I opened the door and went downstairs in a slow motion until I met fierce Greenish-blue eyes which captivated me unless I heard "Who the hell are you?"
AN:- please give me you opinion? Should I continue? Please give me
your feedback. Its my first story so do spare me for my grammar.
