CHASING SUNRISE

Chapter 1: Golden Tone

"This is for my Celine, I love you! I know you're watching right now."

Hey, gorgeous, have you watched my game tonight, how was it?

Hahaha! Of course, I'm famous again, thank you. Hmmm... Not bad!

What? Hey, I did that winning field goal just to greet you on TV. Not bad? Oh c'mon.

Fine Ed, you are the greatest, most handsome, football player of all time. Happy?

Very! Hahaha! How about a date tomorrow? For missing my game tonight. Be there at eight.

See yah! Love you.

Love you too.

I really want to watch personally his game tonight, but ended to be watching it on TV. Just a tough week, Old maid? Nah! That's what you called, sophisticatedly dedicated to my profession!

I am Celine Jones, at 27, there are 2 things that makes me happy, Ed and my job.

Ed is the same Edward of Bingham, the ever supportive and caring bestfriend that I love since childhood and the most loyal person in the world. We may be separated when I transferred to Aberdeen, but our bond is much stronger that any kryptonite or greater than the apocalypse, as we made to be reunited in Stanford University and graduated together four years ago.

He is now the famous football player, Edward Paul Adams of LA Rams, the handsome playboy, with his 6'2 height, dirty blond clean-cut hair, hunk hottie, with perfect muscular body and a great smile that captivates women. It was in his 3rd year when he was scouted by famous football teams due to his outstanding game performances. And I, became his Number 1 fan.

Thanks God Its Friday, as much as I love to go out and have some taste of social life, drinking, partying, like what normal people do, I opt to stay inside my sanctuary. Celebrating the winning game of my bestfriend.

And My oh so interesting life is composed of home and work, of game nights and sleepless nights. A proud lawyer of Lovelle firm, a dedicated career-oriented woman, and an advocate of gender equality. The once believer of fairytales, and happy endings, of prince and princesses, grew up. I'm no longer the Peter Pan who stayed with Neverland, or Princess Aurora whose waiting for a kiss from his prince. Fairy tale doesn't exist, a prince isn't coming to rescue me, I realized that I have to slay my own dragon and battle my own demons.

Right now, I am living independently in a small apartment at Century Park City, Los Angeles, California, with just a 20 minutes-walk to Lovelle. You'll just want to walk than bear the heavy traffic of LA. Having a stress-free life, just a happy, carefree attitude with just me, myself and I.

I remember someone once told me, it's not the number of people you have in your life that matters, one or two friends are enough, as long as they are true to you. But I don't really remember who that was, maybe he didn't really exist, maybe it's the wind who whispers.

Nah! Already said a lot of things, I need to rest, if I don't want to see Ed's horn tomorrow.

Good morning Bunny, wake up! I told you it's eight but what time is it?

Good morning Ed. Sorry, its Saturday! Can I sleep more?

Nope, get up. We are going somewhere.

Please, 30 more minutes.

Your 30 minutes will turn into 3 hours Celine.
