Elora was in a hurry to go home. Her twin sister,Arella must be waiting for her. Elora looked at her wrist watch:gosh it was already 5:36pm.
'Ella must be so hungry. She's gonna kill me' Elora thought while struggling to hold all her shopping bags.
Elora looked inside one of her shopping bags. 'oh my God! I forgot to get instant noodles. I'm so dead' she thought as she face palmed.
While she was in her own world, she didn't seem to notice a car coming her way. As Elora turned to cross the road, the car almost hit her.
"Ahhhhhh"Elora screamed as the car stopped very close to her. She had thrown her bags away in shock.
"Hey, mister! Do you want to kill me? Now look what you've done. You made me throw away all my groceries"Elora said angrily.
The person riding the car came out and time seemed to have stopped as the young man walked towards Elora.
His eyes were pale blue and his shoulder length hair were the richest brown hair she had ever seen. Gosh,he was drop dead cute.
The man was now in front of the car and he started apologizing. His voice was a mixture of hoarseness and delicacy which made him unique.
"I'm very sorry miss. I didn't mean to.....are you hurt? Maybe I can take you to hospital....are you fine?" The man asked as Elora looked as though she was in a daze.
Elora snapped out of her daze and shook her head slightly.
"Who would be fine in this situation?Look,all my stuff are on the ground" she said and started gathering her things from the ground.
The man joined her and helped her pick everything on the ground.
"I'm so sorry miss"He said again. Elora let out a heavy breath. "okay" she said and went to a nearby supermarket to get instant noodles for Arella.
When she walked out of the supermarket, the man was waiting outside.
As she tried to walk past him,he stopped her. "Let me give you a ride home". He volunteered.
"No, thank you. I can take a cab home. Besides,I don't know if you're going my way. I'd rather spare you the trouble" she said, annoyed.
"Where are you going?" the man asked. Elora stared hard at the man. Why was he so persistent?
She looked at the time. It was few minutes past 6
At this point,it would be difficult to find a taxi. Without a word, Elora entered the car and sat in the passenger's seat.
