Saddiquecca's P.O.V
I kept twisting in circles looking everywhere if I could see a sign that could give me some directions and....
Sekany P.O.V
'Remember it's due tomorrow no room for excuses. I want it on my desk early tomorrow morning at 8AM sharp, that's all for now' Mr Annoying George Malcolm spoke
I gather my things and kept moving, I have places to be anyway
Shit I never expected him to drop an assignment this quick.
No sleep for me, it's not like I sleep anyway.
I have to make new carvings for my dad aka my boss or should I say part-time boss
it's complicated...
Not that complicated I'm referring to my schedule and I also have to get some ideas ready for a new location for photos to be taken at a sight in Jamaica..
It's for an engagement ... it's my job.. I'm a photography full-time.. I also have to get to my electrian job at the fire Station.. they had some power outage problems ...
Yep. I'm an electrician, another job that I do full-time of course. But because I'm so handy at what I do, my boss always cut me some slack, only sometimes
It's still a job but they don't understand all the time that I may not make it on time or get tasks done on time but I'm really good at all my jobs not to brag but it's facts...
My fingers reach out expecting for my camera to be around my neck but found that my hands came to my chest, my empty chest, no camera. My body reacted and I halt in my movement and turned around looking at the path that led me to my classroom. I checked my wrist and noticed the time. I was 1 minute behind already this sucks. I have to walk back and.. let me stop complaining and just walk.
Oh thank the heavens I found my camera on my desk calling out for me, the owner. It cost a lot of money and I worked hard to get it. All the more reason for me not to lose it. Ever!
I grabbed it and headed straight for my ranger, another thing waiting for me patiently
... I'm coming baby
As I turned the corner, a human clouded my vision from the almost setting sun but I wasn't mad at it. The person came into my view more clearly.
She was was the last thing I have on my camera, the only thing I took this morning. Every morning that I had class, to be exact I have been taking her pictures for the last past week.. I know it's creepy but I'm a photography a licensed one and I take anything that's captivating and she is.. She has totally captured my vision
Then I realize that she's looking around for something important it seems, she keeps twisting and turning, she's mostly looking up though. I wonder what couod be so important on this corridor .. She's not even paying attention to where she's going, she's going to bump into me.
And I'm going to allow it, people should know that they have eyes for a reason.. Am gonna teach this beautiful creature a lesson. Can't be pretty dunce ain't it?
I watched her focused body predicting her great fall, she was a few feet away from me. I checked my watch in three, two, one
.. Boom!! Crash
I moved my body away from her and watched her fall on her buns..
I would chuckle but surpressed it, I have a lesson to teach..
I cleared my throat to catch her attention
I heard her wince in pain as she raised her head towards me..
I looked into her bright orbs, allowing myself to capture them to memory. I had to even though the clock was ticking in my big head.
Saddiquecca's P.O.V
How could this handsome jerk allow me to fall
'Can't you watch where you're going miss?'
That voice.. The deep baritone English music brought memories.
I then observed him
His long brunette hair tied in a low pony
his beard framed his faced well combed then he spoke again
"Pathetic"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Pathetic' he says calmly.
'If you wanted to die why didn't you just jump. Off. A. Bridge .' his baritone voice fills my ears.
He has an accent.
English I believe.
He surprises me by casting me away from him, causing me to stumble and almost lose balance. Before I could blink the Jeep speeds past me in a flash.
Leaving me breathless.
~~~~~~~~~~~End of flashback ~~~~~~~~~
'You' we said in unison
I came to my feet but realized I was even more intimidated by him..
This may sound cliche but he's really tall he seems like 6'3 or something I am 5'4 so can you imagine the height difference.
My body reacted to our close proximacy,
I started to hyperventilate.
My breathing slowly came out in pants like I was a dog,
Not now
I closed my mouth to mask my near panic attack. He couldn't know
'I should have you know that next time I'll help you fall now move'
I couldn't, I didn't have the strength..
He came closer, our chest touching, challenging me I would fight back but my breathing hitched. It sounded like a hiccup. I pulled my hands in a fist against my sides.
He must have noticed my weird behavior
'Are you OK?'
Then it happened...
At this point I didn't know if I was crying or screaming but I couldn't control what came out of my mouth.
My knees gave way but he caught me surprisingly
A full blown panic attack, good job Saddiquecca
'Just breathe' he pulled me closer in his arms. He found us a bench inside a classroom. I didn't know when we got in here because my eyes were blurry from the rushing tears
I was sitting in his lap, he cuddled me and kept encouraging me. Each word he spoke were so soothing, they were like calming lullabies to my desperate ears.
His hands caressed my head. He cradled me like I was his baby. It brought tears to my eyes.
Then I spoke up inbetween my short breath intake.
'I destroyed my friendship with the only person who really cared for me,' I breathed heavily but kept going
'Kara was my everything,
she stood by me, through every mood change. She was so selfless and chose me every time. I cried again
'Over her dreams,
her family and...' I stuttered
Even the one she loves..
I was so caught up with my own problems with problems that are dead, people who are dead!'
I didn't know where this new found courage came from but I vented. I told him everything about mine's and Kara's friendship
I cried more and moved further into his chest..
'Breathe in breathe out'
he even did it with me..
I slowly calmed. My chest felt tight like I had stitches there.
'What were you looking for?' he spoke
'The girls dorm' I wiped my tender eyes
'I know where it is let's go' he offered
He got up from the seat with me in his arms and placed me on my feet. He still held me until I found my balance. When we got out of the classroom his arms were still around me..
Then I came to my senses..
What the frick was I thinking?
'You should apologize to your friend, and stop piting yourself.. grow up' His bluntness made me snap
'You have no right!'
I thew his arms off of me as a statement
'Says the girl who spilled the beans' he winked
'I don't need your help with anything!'
'Okay let's see you find your dorm room then miss I don't need help'
I stomped my feet and sighed. I had no idea to find the dorms and from the looks of it , it's getting late.
'Fine'
'After you' he gestured his hand in the direction towards my dorm
'Stop being a cry baby and apologize. Get off Your high horse, she's not a companion she's your best friend ain't it? treat her like one.
He stopped in his step
'Here we are.'
He looked at me. Into my eyes '
Next time get your shit together before you lose control like that again. I'm not Kara or carrot whatever her name is.
Have good one miss.....?'
He waited for my response I turned away from him heading to my dorm but he grabbed my arm
'I just saved your life I think it's more than fair for me to get a name , so I'll try again miss...?'
'Saddiquecca' I gave in. He was right at my dorm door. He wouldn't give in..
'And I'm obviously mr handsome see ya mate'
'We're not friends' I shout after him, he responded by waving. I closed my door and leaned on it for support.
What have I done?
