'Mornings Like these are pretty rare...', thought Cara. Sunlight pierced through her glass windows leaving a bit of tinder effect. The sound of the birds chirping, dew drops dripping from the leaves, the untold ethereal lovestory between the flowers and butterflies, the bees collecting honey,.... One could evidently tell that it was spring. The smell of the wild roses and Jasmine rushed through the windows to exhilarate Cara's nostrils as she opened her windows while yawning. She closed her eyes and stretched both her hands while sunlight kissed her face. After a dreadful night, and nightmares, mornings like these make up for it.
As a student who just got admission to university, there is still two months of vacation left for her to have a blast before entering the classes started. She wanted to go somewhere fun with her mom for this vacation. But her mom was so busy and passionate about her work, vacation and all is a luxury for a hardworking forensic scientists like her. Everyday there would be some kind of crime and she'd have to investigate and examine the crime scene to collect evidences. Still, for the sake of Cara, she agreed to go on a 10 days trip once her current work is settled, which could happen at anytime. Until then Cara just have to go out and have fun with her girl friends.
Lily and Rose were the fraternal twins with whom Cara hungout most of the time. Lily was blue eyed, with a long blond haired girl, her physical features were tall and skinny with a perfect victoria's secret kind of body. With that pretty face she had boys drooling over her like moth to the flame. She had a dangerous attitude with a pretty face, which always turned off guys who wanted to date her because of her looks. She could turn into a complete psycho when she is angry. Some guys would still go after her because they like the thrill.
On the contrary, Rose had hazel eyes reddish brown hair. She looked like the nice girl type. Always friendly and helpful to others. She had a cute doll face as in the rom-com movies and dramas. She had short hair and wore specs. She wouldn't spend a lot of time doing makeup like Lily, just a Spec of red lipstic would make her look like a sexy librarian that guys fantacize about.
The twins had contrast characters but maybe that's why they were both very drawn to each other. Cara on another hand, was a dedicated bookaholic, very reserved kind of person. She would mostly talk to the books rather than human beings if it weren't for the twins and her mom. Cara had long black curly hair, wheat brown skin and pitch black eyes. She was beautiful and had a bold aura like her mom. Her mom had brown ancestors which could be observed in Cara than her mom. Even though she had no idea about her father, she enjoyed getting constantly complimented for her flawless skin. She partly thought she got it from her dad, Nevertheless she was thankful.
The three had agreed to meet at the bus stop and then they will go together. Cara slid her tiny body to a skin tight jeans and wore a long loose full-sleeved T-shirt, which was typical Cara's style. And then she did some mascara to Compliment her long lashes, and a nude shade lipstick. perfect!
Lily and Rose was already waiting for Cara when she reached there. All three were looking chic and were ready to have a blast.
"Hey nice, earrings", Remarked Cara to Lily.
"Thanks.", Lily stroked her hair in confidence.
"Umm we should go now. The movie will start at 10:30. it is already 10:15"
"alright, alright, lets walk", Said Cara
The three walked towards a movie theatre on the opposite side of the bus shelter. The movie's name was "The danger", it was an action movie, obviously. It was third show after the movie release so everyone was excited except Rose. Rose liked rom-com much better. Thanks to Lily & Cara, the action movie-holics, She rarely gets to watch a rom-com movie with her friends. Cara and Lily would start acting nauseated when they see too cheesy romantic scenes but still go for rom coms for Rose. They loved all the action, danger, chase and fight. If the lead character was female, much better! They loved to feel empowered and inspired by watching such movies.
5 minutes before the show. Cara went to buy popcorns and Cola while Lily and Rose waited for her in thier seats which were already book by them. There was a big queue before the cafeteria where everyone lined up to buy popcorns. She accidently bumped into a guy who was rushing to the theatre before the movie starts. His pop-corns and drinks fell on the floor, and suddenly he was looking helpless at her.
"I'm very Sorry. You can go to your seat, Mr. I will buy the popcorns and drinks for you instead.", Said Cara making a sorry head.
"No, thats okay. I'm fine"
"Still, tell me you seat number, Let me buy you popcorns atleast."
"R8-11."
"Oh, mine is R8-12", Cara exclaimed.
"Well, see you in the theatre. Come fast, the movie will start soon."
"Okay", Cara smiled at him and he smiled back.
She entered the theatre with her hands stuffed with popcorns and drinks. She gave each to Lily and Rose, and one to the guy she saw earlier. Lily and Rose exchanged looks seeing Cara giving popcorns and drinks to the guy next to her.
Lily whispered to Rose's ears, "why is she giving popcorns to that guy!!!?"
"Is she dating without us knowing?!!!", said Rose.
"okay, let's ask her later!!!"
"Si", a devilish smile spread across Rose's and Lily's lips. They turned around quitely calmy as if they saw nothing.
Meanwhile the movie was going on, Cara had a chance to look at his face clearly. He was indeed handsome with all those strong jawline, doe-shaped emerald eyes, Strong eyebrows, and trimmed moustaches and beard. He looked like a cool action movie actor too. Cool.
While she was looking at his face slowly putting a popcorn in her mouth as if she was enchanted by him, He suddenly caught her gaze which alarmed her to refocus on the movie which she could barely do. He leaned towards her ear from behind and whispered "What's your name?"
To her surprise, He was sitting there side eying her with a devilish grin spread across his face. "I'm Cara", she whispered back.
"Aiden. It was nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too."
"where do you live?"
"Here."
"Oh great! great then I hope I'll see you around in this town someday"
Cara smiled.. Did her heart skip a beat for a hot stranger? Did she sub-consciously wished that she would meet him again? It can't be. Never. 'I'll prolly never meet him again.', thought Cara.
When the movie was over and they were all getting up from thier seats, she stole a look at him. He was looking at her too. Thier eyes locked. She smiled hoping she would meet him again somehow.
Once they were out of the theatre, Lily and Rose ganged up against Cara like real school bullies.
"What was that?"
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Do you have to pretend like nothing happened. You just gave popcorns and drinks to a guy!"
"perhaps, are you dating without us knowing?"
"OMG!!! did you just used us just to go on a date with you boyfried?", Lily dramatic ass started acting up with a fake cry.
"Guys!!!! Can you please stop. I got bumped into him which cause him to spill all his popcorns and drinks on the floor. I was just compensating. He and I just exchanged Our names. That's all." Gasped Cara
"How do we know that you are not lying??!! Rose raised an eyebrow.
"I really I wish I had hot guy like him as my boyfriend, but I don't." Cara said with a long sigh.
"Now its trustable. Thats okay, we're good. lets go!" said Lily tangling her hands with Cara and Rose and walked forward to the streets.
The rest of the day they spent reminiscing the movie while roaming around the streets, doing tad bits of street shopping, walking and gossiping and laughing. It was a fun day for Cara because she was lingering on her thoughts about the guy she saw at theatre. 'could we meet again?' thought Cara. There was something about him that felt familiar to Cara but she couldn't quite understand what it was. Those eyes... Something about those eyes....
Maybe because her heart fluttered looking into those.
After a long day, Cara reached home at night. Her mom was already waiting for her to eat dinner. After having delicious Pasta that her mom made for her, she burped while climbing the stairs to her room. She ate more than enough of what her tiny skinny body can tolerate so she got tired. She closed the door and changed her clothes in to a tiny dress. She tied and pinned her hair tight before she threw herself to bed to sleep. That night the last thing she would be scared about was her nightmares. But rather her mind was occupied with the guy she saw at the movie theatre. He was so handsome. Cara slowly slipped into a sleep that had been calling her like friend who had news to tell her. Or an enchantress who wanted to lure her so that she could convey her message.
