I had just finished a music video shot in the studio. when I came out of the building, a familiar figure caught my attention. She was across the street walking toward her car. She was walking over to her car holding her laptop so close to herself. I had a feeling something was wrong so I stood there and watch her get into her car.
After getting into her car, I waited for like five minutes but she still has not started the car. After another ten minutes and she was still not starting the car I became sure something was wrong. so I walk across the street to get a closer look. Good thing I was waring a disguise so I could not be easily recognized.
When I get close to her car I saw her sitting and closing her eyes. I stand there watching her for like five minutes before making up my mind and knocking on the car.
She opened her eye looked at me, I could see she was surprised. She oped the door to the car and step out. Good evening sir she said and I nod, are you okay? I asked.
Sure I am fine she replied after about 30 seconds. I could tell she was lying. so I decided to push a little even if my head was telling me something else. You don't look okay and I think you can share your problems with me. I can be a good listener.
After pausing for a long time. I was beginning to think she will not answer and I should be on my way when she answered. I lost my story, my laptop memory is lost. Wow I understand how she feels this has happened to me before. which is why I always had a back up in my mail.
Oh so sorry about that, I am sure you are not done yet and you still have a bit of time before you turn it in. I said to comfort her.
I know it just that I have no idea where to begin from I am so confused. Don't worry I think all you need do is clear you head and it will all come back to you I said. She nod her head and smiled a little. I don't know why but I felt like spending more time with her. so I come up with a pafect excuse. Well I think if you visit your scene of inspiration it might come back faster who knows it may even be better.
This is crazy all she had to do was relax and everything will come back to her but hear I was taking advantage of the situation. But... She was saying and I quickly caught her up. My schedule for the day is somehow free, so I don't mind. She looked at me and told me thanks. So you just drive behind me. my car is accross the street I told her and walk away. When I got to the car I asked my assistant to clear my remaining schedule for the day.
...
I was sitting down opposite Bella in my garden and she keep looking around. 30 minutes later she was sitting looking around closing and opening her eyes. I knew her coming here will make no difference but for unknown reasons I really enjoy just looking at her.
Feeling better I asked her after another 15 minute. Yes, I still don't know were to start. I lost the magic of the story she said. I kept quite quiet for awhile. Don't worry I am sure the magic will come back to you I said to comfort her.
So tell me what inspired you to write the story? I asked. Just sitting here the last time gave me the inspiration but the scene is missing something today she said looking at me with no clear emotions on her face. I look around me and wonder what was missing but nothing in the garden seem to have changed. After thinking about it over and over again I still couldn't place my finger on it I decided to ask. What is missing?
She looked at me and looked away almost immediately. A living thing she said smiling but she was still not looking at me. A living thing I thought to myself. I don't have a pet and there was just the two of us here. Two of us I thought. Could I be what she is talking about. I remember our eyes meeting and she kept staring at me for a long time before she suddenly started writing.
I looked at her to ask but I noticed her eyes where close so I decided to replay the scene for her. There is something about the way she looks at me. Don't mind getting that feeling again. So I got up and stood in the same spot like I did the last time.
I waited for a few minutes but It did not seem like she has opened her eyes so I turned around to check on her and my eyes fell on her beautiful eyes which were staring at me with a smile. We stayed like that for a while before she blink her eyes and looked away. I wanted to ask her if the scene was complete now but I changed my mind and went to sit next to her.
I think my head is clear now I will just go home and start all over she said with a smile. Okay I said. I wanted to watch her write again but I did not know how to bring it up, so I got up immediately and walked her to her car.
I was surprised to see Carl's car too. What the hell is he doing here? I thought to myself as I watch Bella drive away.
I walked into the sitting room and one of maid told me that Carl is waiting for me in my mini Bar. I walked over and met Carl drinking. I sat next to him and got a cup for myself. I poured a drink for myself and raised the cup to have a sip when Carl voice almost chock me. Are you having a screet relationship again? he asked.
I did not see that coming I started laughing, when I recovered from my shock of course not. I am never getting into a relationship again. I answered.
So what about her? Carl ask. Who? I asked acting ignorant, of course I know he was talking about Bella. The lady I meet the other day and you came home from the video shooting with her today.
It not what you think, Bella is a student at Mount Wings just helping her out. Totally book related trust me I said. Right I trust you but why is she the only student you are help? he asked. That's because she is the only student I know that seems to need help. Beside am only helping her because of the way I treated her when we went for the seminar. I explained.
Wait! she is the same student you went with. Ray seriously tell me what happened at the seminar? She is is really beautiful, Carl said.
Hey don't start getting ideas, nothing happened, I am just helping her since I can help her is there anything wrong with that? I asked. No nothing is wrong he answered and took a sip from his cup.
Do you like? her Carl asked after a long pause. What! I asked. I was really surprised by the question but it got me thinking. Do I like her? is that why it hurt me when she was avoiding me? Is that why I felt like helping her when I saw her the other day? Is that why I like the way she look's at me and want to spend time with her? I asked myself.
I mean the girl do you like her? Carl repeat his question.
Of course not bro, I just want to help her I said. I don't know why deep down in my heart I felt like I was lying. Do I like her? I thought to myself, no I can't like her. I am done withe relationship I said. I took my drink and drank the full cup in one go.
