To make the world spin, you got to steel your mind. Sabella found the compartment she booked on the train had another space for three more passengers.
The compartment is spacious, but having neighbours for her journey isn't what she had hoped for in the slightest bit. She was the first to get in, so she sat near the window.
She watched the greenery around her. Leaving Salima had felt surreal to her she always wanted to see beyond the bay so she worked so hard for it but everything went down the drain when her father died.
Now she's sitting on a train trying to fulfil that untouched dream. She imagined her brother sitting by the desk now compiling the list of his activities for the month like he does every month. His likeness for Mila was something she could never comprehend.
The lady falls into the category of I am almost skinny type and her brother was a lover of flesh but he was also a lover of brains and soft heart and Mila filled the space between the two.
She feels happy though knowing there is someone in his life who brings him peace, she sighed at that. She wishes someone could think of her that way or look at her with heart in his eyes like they do to each other.
When the door opened she didn't look up, she wasn't interested in making friends on a train. Your bag is on my seat she heard a deep feline voice that makes her stomach curl. What was that she thought.
Sorry, she turned and saw what she would call the most beautiful specimen for a man. His long black hair is ruffled from constant touch. His thin lips laid perfectly on a lean face. His eyes are grey and deep even dreamy. She feels like she just met a finely sculpted statue that came to life. She sized him up and approved, he is tall and she could bet his ass is great too but he seem regal in that cheap clothing he wore.
Strange, as her stomach took a slow roll, she picked up her bag and turned back to the window masking the lewd thoughts she already had going.
Alex felt like a schoolboy that is being sized up by a very beautiful teacher and his first thought was how her full mouth will fit his. He sat opposite her and try hard not to look at her. This is embarrassing he thought.
His brother had given him an earful on their way on how to explore all sorts of spices and this one opposite him doesn't look like what he meant. He took out a book and made light of her. He was never interested in doing a candid but she compels him to. He was giving life to her eyes when he heard a squeal beside him.
OMG, that's like a woo-woo, you got her frame perfectly and you aren't even looking at her. Oh! you are so talented. Can you sketch me too? Mollified, Alex dropped the sketch on her lap without signing it. Thinking he would make another one and keep it.
And you are, turned to the man who just squealed like a girl. I am Camille, nice to meet you. I came from nearby going north too. Oh, it's so nice to see two beautiful people in my compartment. This will be a nice journey.
He turned to him, what's your name handsome? Alex stared at him a moment then turned the other way. Sabella felt flattered by the sketch until she saw the irritation he had when Camille spoke. Got a problem with him painter she asked him. Her voice made his heart thump, if she was a siren he did gladly follow her with no qualms.
He's loud. And you don't like loud she asked. No not like this. A quiet one then she prompted. But I don't think it's cool for a quiet person to sketch me without permission. He shrugged, you made a fine picture staring at nothingness so I added my flair.
Yeah, right. I will keep it then she said and tucked the piece in her bag. Sensing her annoyance Alex felt like a schoolboy again. He turned to Camille who was looking at the two of them. I am Alex, and nice to meet you too now please keep quiet.
Camille grinned widely at him and poked at Bella. You are pretty. Thanks, she said turning back to the window. What's your name? Sabella, nice to meet you too Camille, she said giving him a hard smile.
Hi everyone, I am Daisy a plump figure dropped beside Sabella with a grin. Great, Alex thought now there are two of them.
