3 Chapter 3 {Beautiful Stranger}

-Girl look at that glow. I laughed

- I barely had two words with him. She complained blushing and trying to hide it by changing  the subject 

- well duh, I'm here to look up for you, and girl quit blushing, YOU need to let him miss you a little, you guys are inseparable.

-you might be right, but you've got to stop bringing up the clumsy drunk incident he had at my birthday party.

-it's not my fault if your boyfriend can't stand on his own two feet, pretended aliens were chasing him, bumped and knocked everything on the floor, and blamed it on the lack of gravity in our world. I said going to histyrics

She couldn't help but laugh--he was drunk and high, give him a break would ya. She chuckled

-yeah that's what I'm saying, your boyfriend is a drunken clumsy mess.

-yeah but when I'm around him, I feel so... alive and sexy, powerful and capable...

-okay someone is getting aroused, alright calm your panties there girl. I joked ruining her magical moment

She hit my shoulder giggling

-you're just jealous.

-yeah you wish!  by the way, when are you going to come clean about your relationship, you're clearly into each other and the media are doubting your little game of hiding it.

sight - Just not now, I'm not ready for all the press and attention, at least we start college in peace and then we'll decide from there.

-Ugh Vanessa that's what you've been saying for the last couple of years, stop procrastinating, people need to know the hottest couple of the day.

- I know but I don't even want college people to know who I am, let alone dating a famous actor, let's just play it cool for now.

I rolled my eyes and focused on the road "Esta muchacha <this girl> she's wild but wouldn't take risks at the same time, she can't find a balance of her wildness) I thought to myself

- what about you, aren't you worried about the whole fans' situation and the press and stuff?

-Nah, I love my fans, they're my source of joy, and to see how their eyes glow when they see me, it just makes me happy.

-you're one of a kind. She chuckled

Once there, we found a good parking spot right next to the entrance.

-hello there! that's a good parking spot, luck is smiling at us today, that's a good sign right?. I rambled nervously

-Are you nervous? She grinned

-Em no. I replied turning my head to hide my blushing face

She smirked and tilted her head to the position of my face

- fine a little bit, I mean new town, new people new life, I don't know what to expect I just want everything to be perfect, and I just can't imagine starting all over, what if it doesn't go as planned, what if people won't like me, what if I stand out wha..

- shak calm down! Everything will be fine, you can't be stressing out right now, just lower your expectations and go with the flow, besides you got me, I'll be your tour guide, your partner in crime, your mentor wherever you want me to be. She reassured pushing me from behind

-but what if- 

- No buts, you need to get Your butt in, or we're going to be late to class.

We approached it, it was pretty decent looking from the outside and really big that it gives the illusion that you could easily get lost in it, but it had a Hispanic touch to it, which slightly comforted me as I felt at home

I took a deep breath (here goes nothing)

We walked through the crowd in the hallway

-We should find the principle because according to the University program they started the classes last week. She said reading the manual of the university

I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket I reached it to see, there was an upcoming message from James

I froze (the fuck I thought I blocked his number)

I hesitated whether I should read it or not, I pressed it, feeling the need to give him the benefit of the doubt, and started reading it not paying attention to where I was walking

Text: sweet buns, please forgive me for all I've done to you, I realize I messed up badly, I didn't know your value until I lost you, I felt a huge emptiness in my heart and couldn't sleep for days, if anything, I will do the impossible just to get you back... Suddenly I bumped into someone or something

I groaned as I was on the floor,

Then heard a raspy male voice, apologizing and gave me his hand to help me up, I looked up at him, I was mesmerized, he had a killing charm, deep blue eyes, black ruffled hair, light beard, mat skin that brought up his pearly white teeth as he smiled down at me, I couldn't hear a word he said, needless to say, I was lost in him

As I tented to stand straight, I wiggled a little to the side almost falling down again

- Oh. He gasped then caught me from falling

-Are you okay? He asked looking concerned

His question woke me up

- Yeah yeah, I'm just a little tired, I barely had much sleep last night. I said adjusting myself and whipped the dust off my clothes then stared at him dead in the eyes

He ran his hand through his hair, I could tell he was nervous

-Wait where is my phone?. I asked in a panic looking on the ground

-Oh it's with me, when you bumped into me, I caught it preventing it from falling. He explained handing it to me

- oh Thank you very much. I thanked him, taking it from his hand and checked if it was okay and I put it in my purse

(I'll read his text later, I have better things to worry about) I giggled thinking about the gorgeous guy standing next to me

I looked back at him finding him fixated at me, with the most intimidating look

I immediately blushed and broke eye contact with him hoping he doesn't notice

( I might as well return the favor).

-I dragged my long curly hair to the side exposing my neck, brushed it off like it was aching and brought up some lip gloss and started applying it to draw attention to my lips, then looked up at him with a sensual look

His cheeks took a slight red color into them, he then muttered - may I know your name, gorgeous lady? He asked flirtatiously

- I'm Shakira, I would love to stay here and chat with you but I'm gonna be late for class. I said in a sensual voice slightly pushing him away to make a path

We walked past him and I managed to not look back but Vanessa wouldn't bother doing it

-He was totally checking you out. She yelled smirking

- just walk. I ordered

-Oh my god you're a total player. She said in excitement

-I'm not. I chuckled, I just like to add up my own signature into things

-yeah like I said a total player. She repeated

-shut up. I giggled
