A-aurora Vance"
I said quietly, I may be a sociable awkward girl, quite introverted but I'm quite confident if I want to. My top one favourite author asking for my name got me all blushed up for what..... no particular reason that I could find.
Though, I don't believe in love for some specific reason. I still believe in the love of friendship, concern of the world, family, admiration and that's what I feel for Nathan Wagner.
I've always respected his work from afar scared to walk up to him, afraid of losing my anonymous life.
Throughout his year of writing, I've always reverenced his work. He writes his book in a way I wouldn't do and describe them in a totally different manner.
There is nothing more exciting than getting the chance to attend his book signing, meeting him in person and as his fan. Book signing is surely magical for a myriad of reasons.
"How is your day going Miss....Aurora?"
"Please call me Aurora and my day has been just fine".
I smiled lightly to ease the awkwardness in the room.
"Ok Aurora, will there be questions for me to answer before signing your book?", He said politely looked back at me. His perfect structured face got nothing on me like his eyes does.
There was nothing unique about his eyes but an earthly brown sparkling eyes got me flattered.
Why do you keep denying your feeling?
I'm not denying any feelings conscience, it's a simple respect and admiration for a preferred author.
Right??
"Is there a particular reason, your character or plot begins and ends with love?" I asked and by his expression he was shocked by my question.
I was worried wondering if I offended him by asking such question. "I-i'm sorry if I asked too much"
"A-ah no, no it's alright. To tell the truth I was shocked most fans asks about my inspiration, or why I wrote the book, my favourites but yours, yours is quite different, new and a bit strange but it's okay", he gave me his signature smile.
His signature smile, fr Aura !!!!
Can you please stop taunting me, I'm trying to focus here.
"Love may just be a four letter words but they are everything to a lot of people. Everything begins or starts with either love or hate and ends with either the two. When we look at the world without these feeling it's becomes void. So as a Christian I can strongly say I believe in word love more than anything in the world.", he responded reasonably and well mannered.
"I don't know if that answer your question, but I hope it did"
I wasn't taken aback by him being a Christian, he is a Christian who does not bother to hide the fact. He is a man that loves his family, and cares for everyone. Sometimes I get jealous of his perfect life and background.
"Okay" I simply stated.
"Can I ask a question back?"
"Yes, no problem", I replied and smiled waiting for his question.
"I don't have a certain right for inquiring but I'm indeed curious to know", I nodded in response as he continued. "Why would you ask that one question?"
I thought for a moment, deciding to tell him the reason or not. But there isn't a particular restriction that said I couldn't.
"Cause I don't believe in the word 'love' besides my publishing company have been pestering me to write a book about two characters who are in love and I'm really bad at one." I bluntly replied, when it comes to my book and writing style I am plainly honest.
He chuckled lightly, "So you're a writer?"
"Yes, I am"
"Well, it's nice meeting a co-author", he chuckled and strengthened his hand requesting for an handshake.
I couldn't resist admiring his mesmerizing eyes, I felt a unique and invisible thread pulling me towards it.
I immediately collected my thoughts and asked."Who is your favourite character when you were writing 'Hidden'?"
He smiled, figured he liked my question.
"That will be Norat, she was totally different from other characters. She was brave, passionate and the one person who fought for her rights, country and love. I had so much fun writing about her, sadly she was just a side character.", I shrank back at mention of love, tried to not show my discomfort, I faked my smile which I thought I was good at. Nathan seems to notice I wasn't giving out my genuine smile gave me a weird look in return.
He suddenly asked, out of no where "Have we met before, you look weirdly familiar?", That inquiry almost gave me an heart attack.
"No"
"Oh really?", He looked confused though he looked so cute I need to get out here before I get noticed.
"Yes"
The attendants softly tapped him calling unto his attention whispering a word into his ear.
He nodded and smiled back at me as the attendant immediately left his side "Alright Aurora. Thanks for reading my book and for your support, enjoy the rest of your day!", He took my book on the table, picked up his pen and signed his name on the first page A big 'Nathan', he wrote my name and date under, there was something else he wrote that I wasn't able to catch.
Maybe it was another motivational quotes I also write for my fans.
"Thanks for coming, see you again"
I stood up as my minutes with him were over, he waved brightly showing his deep two dimples, my heart automatically skipped a beat I was so weak for his dimples and brown eyes.
"Yes, thanks for spending your precious time with me" I waved back, stepping out of the chair. Walked out of the hall, instantly remembered I bought a gift for him but wasn't able to give, maybe next time.
I laughed at my thought....
✧●✧●✧
I waited outside beside her red Audi car, I know nothing about cars but I can recognize a few. Sabrina is a big fan of sport cars and motorcycles. I've been waiting for a few minutes, before seeing the sight of a tall goddess, curvy shaped model body with a bright brown hair running toward me, she is very beautiful, confident and me being the opposite.
I laughed as she spread her arm widely in the air and ran cutely to me.
"How was the book signing?", I yelled for her to hear as she got near me and hugged me tightly, hugs have occasionally been our things, we hug a lot.
"Girl, you shouldn't be asking me that question I should be the one asking?", I gave a confused look as she smirked at me.
I narrowed my eyes at her trying to understand what she was indicating.
"Girl,you had him whipped?", She chuckled lightly.
"What do you mean,Sabrina?".
"Oh babygirl, we have so much to talk about but first let's get out of here" Knowing Rina, her type of fun is entirely different from mine. Attending a book signing with me is a really sweet thing given that she wouldn't dare near a book. I chuckled recalling the last time I had to force her to read me a book, and it was an exhaustively failure.
She is fun, outgoing, sociable, loves cars, bike, dancing, clubs and parties are her get away.
We are so different yet we fit in each other puzzle perfectly, I don't know how she dealt with my boring ass at the same time I don't know how I dealt with her annoying ass every single day of my life.
"Girl, he was drooling over you!", she said excitedly, laughing wildly in the car. I looked at her and wondered how I got a crazy friend.
"What the fuck are you talking about, Rina?", I couldn't help myself from laughing at her shenanigan.
"Okay babygirl, I'mma break it down to your level in a minute", she joked and I slapped her arm offended at her statement.
"Ouch girl you bad, anyways what I meant was that your precious Nathan was completely mesmerized by you, my beautiful lady. You in that red sexy dress that of course I picked out for you got him drooling and it was written all of over his face".
I laughed at her bold and crazy statement "That's not true"
"Girl, I know you wouldn't believe me that was why I just had to capture the moment", she pulled out her phone and showed me a picture of Nathan smiling brightly looking at me.
"It's his job Rina, he is meant to smile to everyone in the event".
"You're really blind Aurora, the smile he gave was entirely different from mine, the beauty goddess I ultimately noticed. He likes you, and yeah did you notice that you two talked for a very long time until one of his agent I don't know manager had to inform him".
I shaked my head not believing her assumption "Whatever Sabrina", said rolling my eyes.
Moment of silence later...
"Can I have your book?. I know you wouldn't open it and throw it out which is an utterly disrespect to all books out there". I asked knowing she will dispose the book in the trash bin the minutes she gets home, I will be really glad to have two books signed by The Nathan Wagner.
She laughed not even denying "You know me too well Aura, it's on the back seat and all yours.", I picked up her bag she threw in the back seat the second we got into the car.
Curious of what he wrote for Rina, I opened the book to only discovered he wrote nothing but his signature, her name and date.
My eyebrows scrunched at my discovery, grabbed my book to see if he wrote nothing but to find
'I wish I had more time to talk to you, you appear to be a very enclosed but nice person. I have no clue of what you went through so all I'm going to say is that 'Love Is the answer' been led down doesn't guarantee not moving forward. You got this Aurora, from Nat all the best wishes'.
That's really sweet of him to think of writing me a motivational quote in only few minutes of meeting.
I smiled unknowingly which got the attention of her highness Rina, she asked the reason for my smile which of course I didn't say.
To my experience with a questioning Rina, she wouldn't let it go until she exactly finds out. She immediately snatched the book of out my hand not before parking her car at the side of the road.
"Damn Aura, you have him wrapped around your fingers girl"
"No, he was just being nice. For goodness sake, a man can't be nice to his fan?", I chucked slightly.
"No and No, No man can be this nice without an ultimate reason and he has one, he likes you!"
"Let's just forget this whole conversation, it's going no where and it's not like I'm going to meet him again you know I care for my life more. It was really hard for you to convince me to attend but not going near him anymore."
"You can't keep hiding Aurora, You need to live your life. You need to move on and stop keeping things inside. You don't need to worry about not fitting in, I will always be by your side whenever and wherever you need me just let me in and help you out", she said her voice cracking a little bit. She is constantly worried about me, everything I went through and I know on her part it isn't easy for her to have me as a friend.
I sighed deeply trying so hard to not recall the past, desperately attempting to wipe my fallen tear away.
"I'm going to be okay Sabrina, I-i just need time that's all I ask"
"And I will be right next to you whenever you're ready. I love you baby, don't forget", She hugged me and I did back.
Gave her a small smile "Love you too".
"Yeah, I need to stop at the library I have some important things to work out."
"Okay baby"
"Thanks Rina and for everything"
"You don't need to say a word Aura, what are friends for?"
Author's Note :
So It's Chapter two already, I don't really know how I'm doing but I really hope I'm doing just fine.
Hmm...what do you think of Aurora's and Sabrina's friendship? I must say it's really a strong one and I just love it.
She is protective of our fl and on her way to becoming my fav.
I'm sorry on the part of Nat and Aura, they don't have enough chemistry together I know but it's going to get better. Romance isn't going to come first but for me to focus on the Female lead.
I hope to stay with me as we discover our Protagonist through her past, present and future.
