Like most days Cora woke up was feeling like something was missing. she started having this feeling when her best friend, Lucy, introduced Cora to her boyfriend, Derek. Since then she felt an empty feeling in the bottom of her heart.

When Cora was five years old she was with her parents on the car for a family trip, her dad was driving, when suddenly another car appears on the road and all she remembered next was a black blur. Now she was 20 years old, a grown woman, with a good job as nurse in a private hospital in her city, good neighbours whom she liked a lot more than she expected. In her head she was fine and happy but, her heart, knew too well she was everything but fine and happy. As Cora walked to the hospital, (she still couldn't afford a car even with her salary at the hospital) she was thinking of what she could do to fill that void that she had been feeling for a while now when suddenly a bicycle almost hit her if hadn't been for man that was passing by and pushed her out of the way, but unfortunately he got hit instead of her. Cora rushed to him, and asked "Sir, are you alright ?" he just nodded his head and responded "Yes, but are you alright ?" Cora was stunned by this "Yes, thank you, but I need to take a look at your knee because its bruised and I'm a nurse don't worry let me take you to the hospital so I can treat you". The man looked as his knee and then looked at Cora "Oh don't worry its just a scratch I can take care of it at home" Cora shocked her head "No, I insist you just got hurt because of me". The handsome man accepted her offer and he followed her to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital Cora guided him to an empty room and they sat down. Cora, then, started to work on his knee. "This might sting a little" the man nodded in understanding. Soon Cora finished treating his wound and he asked her very softly "So, now would mind telling me your name or should I just call you 'my saviour' ?" Cora giggled at his question "Of course I don't mind, my name is Cora Richards" then mysterious man smirked and answered "And my name is Nate Hale".

Five Days Later

For the last five days Cora couldn't wait to see Nate again and today was it he had asked for her phone number at the hospital and of course Cora gave it to him. He hat texted her saying they would go on a date today and she couldn't wait. At seven pm he was gonna pick her up at her house.

When she was all ready, just finished putting her shoes on, she heard the door bell ring and suddenly she got more nervous than at her job interview. Cora hated presentations and all that sort of things. She opens the just to see Nate standing there with a huge bouquet of white roses (her favourite) and a box of milka chocolates, who also happened to be her favourite. Cora put the bouquet in a vase with water and got out of the house hand in hand with Nate.

Nate looked hat Cora's long brown hair and blue eyes. "Your are the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen in my entire life" he said without thinking "t-thank y-you" stuttered Cora.

After Dinner

Cora and Nate walked until they reached Cora's house. Cora invited him inside. Of course Nate said yes and followed her inside her house. When inside Cora told him to sit down, witch he did, while she went to her bathroom to pee.

Cora walked in the bathroom looked at herself in the mirror and thought "you can do this Cora, you can do this". Cora had hope that this night would go further, not because she just wanted a one night stand but, because in just one night this handsome, kind and caring man made her feel things that she sure would never feel again in a long time.

Meanwhile Nate had the exact same feelings for her, also hoped he would go out os this house with a girlfriend to love and give the world to. After 10 minutes Cora got out of the bathroom and sat down next to him. She was a straight forward person so she began talking "So I'm gonna be honest with you, I think your an amazing guy and any girl would be great with you... I think I would like to be that girl if that's ok with you of course..." at the same time she finished her sentence Nate kissed her on her lips. She imagined his lips would be rough and cold, but instead they were soft and warm. He never tasted something so sweet as Cora's lips.
