Let's work

Nothing special happened at the college, as usually Mrs. Greta took her laboratory session, later we had our chemistry class where many of my classmates came up to me and asked about the accident, I was not sure what to say I just kept numb. On my way back to Mrs. Carter's shop I wondered why I didn't have many friends at college except for Linda and Anna. Maybe it's because I was always moody or maybe I was interested in academics more than any other leisure activities, or it can also be that I never wanted someone beside me as I loved to be alone. As I reached the flower shop my mind was full of questions to which I could not find any pleasing answer for myself. Carter was there busy with her customers, as I entered the shop, she came up to me and gave a tight hug. After the customers were done, she took me for tea. We had tea at her backyard, she was always a caring lady. The sun began to set, the whole sky filled with orange, red and blue color, birds returning to their nests, the sound of the tides approaching the land, washing the feet's of children running through the beach, the rhythm of the approaching waves fills the atmosphere with romance. I headed towards my cottage, the street was filled with tourists who were admiring the night lights and commenting on the Chinese cuisine from the newly opened restaurant. As I walked through the street to my cottage near the beach something familiar stopped me. It was the music; I recognize it and I walked towards the direction from where the music came. The moment I found out from where it came, I was dumbstruck, I stood there like a statue and when I got back to my senses, I turned back and started to walk as quick as possible. But then it happened ......

"Hey, Kelly stop!"

I stood there as if an electric shock just passed through me. It was Shane, Mrs. Carter's son. I didn't know that he was here. Last time I remember seeing him was when Mr. Carter took Shane along with him to Paris, I think he was around 17 years then. We used to be together most of the time as our families were close friends and to be more specifically, we had a romantic but not so romantic past. As Mr. Carter was transferred to the new office in Paris due to his work, he took Shane with him. Mrs. Carter didn't want to leave her home so she didn't accompany him, but she wanted Shane to get the best in everything and let him go with his father. Mr. Carter usually visited this place but Shane never came. I have always heard Mrs. Carter's problems and this was one of it. She has always missed her son.

My legs suddenly started to tremble and I felt dizzy. Suddenly I felt like a hundred's of butterflies arose from my belly. I just couldn't help myself from looking at him, his amber eyes just took my breath away, he had a perfect jawline and his hair messed up. He had his guitar held in one hand while holding my hand in the another. Perfectly masculine body and tanned skin would just make girls go mad about him.

"Damn he is hot" …oops did I say that too loud.

I saw his face suddenly change and a seductive smile appeared. "How are you, Kelly?"

"I am good, I didn't know that you were here."

"Yeah! Just dropped by before going to college, I would have to join the next week so just thought about spending some time with mom. What about you? I heard about your parents accident; you must be having a hard time."

"Yep. That was unexpected. But I am okay now. Lilly is there with me and everything is just going well."

I just couldn't stand there any longer as I felt that I was burning. "Shane, I'll see you later, time to go ...bye."

"Ok then see u soon"

I rushed towards my cottage. I didn't know what I was feeling towards him, it's something that I haven't had with someone else. The sight of his tall and toned figure just made my mind fall into his good looks. I don't get it, why do I have such feelings towards him which I never had with any of the other boys in college. Am I falling in love with him again, I am not sure? As soon as I reached my cottage I sprang into my bed. Marco who was resting on my pillow just sprinted as if he was shocked. As if to check I was okay, he came near me and put his furry little head to my elbow.

"Oh Marco! why is he still in my head? I have spent a lot of time with him earlier when we were young and I didn't feel anything like this earlier. Then why now?"

"Just tell me what would you do?"

Marco took his head up from my elbow and sat upright, his tail moving side to side as if he knew the way. Then he started rolling and looked at me.

"Oh, my dear Marco! I think this is what you guys do… but what about me ...ohh…. lord, please help me with this dilemma…"
