Sam POV

The mansion was large and spacious, the creamy paint reflected the golden stain illuminated from the sun. Neatly trimmed hedges and bushes lined symmetrically in front of the gate, uniquely designed fence surrounded the mansion. The fences had the laser detector which could easily detect any movement. The mansion was under strict surveillance. The roof peaked, slanting down at an angle, the window had midnight blue curtains hanging and it was drawn so that no sunlight could pass through it.

A marble fountain stood in middle with various rose flowers surrounding it. An angel holding a flower was perched on top, looking towards the sky. Water spurred from its other hand, which lay gently out in front of it and the scene was majestic.

Bushes trimmed into all sorts of animals and people covered the front lawn. A pond lay nearby the lawn, the water sparkled and koi swam gracefully in it. The inside of the mansion was fixed with black and white tiles, various room lined sideways. Stairs lay across the room, climbing towards the ceiling, a doorway was on either side of the room, one admitting into the kitchen and other to living room. Many servants moved around with their daily chores and no one dared to disturbed that person sitting in the lounge.

With those slim limbs, buffed hair and deep dark eyes, Sam sat with some paper in his hand. With his usual cool demeanor he ordered his man to and fro. He had that bossy aura surrounding him which made everyone near him shudder with fear. He looked strict and arrogant.

He was away for business deals and he couldn't attend college for some days. He had that pre-conceive notion about people that they were always close to him for his wealth. But after he met her, it somehow made him doubt his own conception. It was that sunny day he met her. He was new to college and was admitted under a normal identity. He had always been a low key person and shunned away from lime light.

Her cheekbones and nose perfectly complemented her face. She wore her long black hair in pony tail lying beautifully over her shoulder. Her eyes held that free, loving, and deep pool of restless gold filled with hopeless grief. As I looked into her eyes, all the beauty of the universe could not even hope to compete with that deep oasis. She was mesmerizing.

I sat beside her and for the first time in my life I felt nervous. I wanted to talk to her but I couldn't bring optimum courage to do so. The almighty Sam that every person feared cowered in front of a little girl. She was brave as she cleared her throat and started to talk to me. I have never been a great talker but with her, conversation came naturally. I haven't had a long conversation for some time and it was my first time sharing things with a beautiful stranger.

She was amazing and really comfortable. As she gazed in my eyes I felt hurricane passing through me. Everything was first with her. I have never blushed and here I was blushing hard because of her gaze. I knew she was something amazing, which couldn't be ignored.

College was fun with her and she was beautiful, in and out. We both headed to the cafeteria, the food was incomparable to those five star dishes at my home but I had to act normal and humble. After ordering our food we sat on the bench. She looked a bit troubled, she was looking everywhere for something today. Abruptly she left her food and went out. I felt uneasy and followed her after sometimes.

Two figure was embracing each other as if there was no tomorrow, staring each other and communicating through those starry eyes. It shocked me to see that she was with someone and it something really pained inside me. I was observing them when I failed to notice a fist coming towards me. It really hit me off guard; I was no armature in fighting as I replied his punch with another punch resulting in a massive fight. I didn't know the main reason for this fight but I did have some idea that it was connected to her.

I have always been trained to be tough and merciless. No one has ever cared for me even though I was bruised black and blue. Every one bowed to me and no one ever cared to ask me how I felt about everything. I was seen as their leader and had to maintain that reputation. I never shared any emotion with anyone until she came. She was different and had that sweet comfort which allowed me to relax and breath. When she came over to me and helped me, warm feelings bubbled within me. She took care for me even if we just knew each other for past some days. She was special and I had to know why she could evoke various emotions in me. I knew that I shouldn't let her go when she chose me over him and I was willing to fight head on for her.
