Marked by my love

Tiya Wake up, girl! Wake... up... ! "You better get up right now, sleepy head, before I drag you from the bed. " Oh! s**t! I was damn lazy to get up from my comfy bed, but I knew I hadn't any other choice when my annoying best friend Isha started with her usual alarm. oh! Hi! By the way, I'm Tiya. 18 years old, I havea beautiful slender body (5 feet 7 inches tall) and chocolate brown eyes. My hair is blond and brown mixed and medium length, which gives me a beautiful, stunning look, and I'm a kind of natural beauty with dark eyebrows, long eyelashes, and plump pinky lips. I usually use less make-up since I like to look natural, and since I am studying to become a fashion designer, most of my outfits have some uniqueness, which I add. I'm definitely not a pro yet, but I think I have sort of magic in my hands, as my friend said. My family lived in a different state, so here I stayed in an apartment with my infuriating bestie. Though I have not yet finshied my studies to be a fashion designer, I have already owned my online clothing business, which makes me a decent amount of money to survive while I do my studies. Since designing is not an easy task, I have to work with my blood, sweat, and tears. I started it with my bestie and a few other of my close friends, but since I'm the owner and most of the designs are mine, I'm sort of well off in my life, though I still have a ways to go to achieve my goals in life. We weekly update our website called "Beauty Bee" with new designs and also give our customers the privilege of having it customized by us if necessary, such as size and color. Since we have added this to our badge groups at university, it has quite a following among girls. We always make sure to prepare only a limited number of outfits to issue from a particular design, so our designs are not very common, which makes for a bit of a high demand. You may be wondering how this could happen since we are still doing our studies. Believe me.. This is not my solo effort. I have a good, loyal team that has different talents. As much as I can do designing and cutting the pieces, my bestie Isha and another two of my friends, Niza and Samantha, are good at sewing. Another few do the website updates and arrange the packing and delivery. So therefore, this is a result of my amazing team. who does their work passionately. Enough with my life, it's time to go to university. After we parked our baby (an Audi e-tron red, which I got as a gift from my parents for my last 18th birthday), we rushed to our locker since it was almost time for our 1st lecture and Mrs. Turner definitely doesn't like the latecomers. I soon collected my things from the locker and almost ran when suddenly I bumped into a huge rock. A guy.. not just a normal guy, but a hot and nasty one. A bad boy in our faculty, Ethan... He is 6 feet tall, has broad shoulders, a pale body, brown hair, and green eyes, which give him a hot look but are definitely not my type. Because he used to sleep with half the girls in the faculty, which isn't partly his fault since most of the girls are throwing themselves, and I'm always trying to avoid the dude since he has a bad vibe. I recovered from my zone out when I heard hi. Beautiful..! I looked up and saw that he was trying to build a conversation. I soon gathered my stuff and ran behind my friend while apologizing for him. He was trying to follow, but there was no chance, buddy. I soon entered my class, and Mrs. Turner was about to start the lesson for my relief. She gave me a warning look, and I simply said sorry and settled into my seat. Isha sat next to me, and how lucky that she never noticed what happened in the lobby. Otherwise, I have to spend half of my lecture explaining the previous incident again and again. I hope by this time Ethan may have forgotten our small interaction. . Time flew with being busy in the lectures, and it was time for lunch. "Tiya, come on. Girl.. Be quick.. We have to hurry up." For what, Ish? "Oh girl.. We have to finish our lunch soon. Today there's a football match with our faculty and medical faculty." So.... I asked "No.. No.. Don't tell me that you don't want to watch it." Ish said dramatically, Hell.. No.. I said as plain as I could.. "What?.. No way, darling... You are going to watch it with me, and that's final." She said with a funny authoritative tone. Seriously, Isha, I'm not much of a fan of football. You know that. Right.. I don't know anything about the game. "Who cares about the game, Tiya?" "We are just going to drool over all the hot guys in both faculties and give a cheer for our one too. "You don't want me to be there alone.. right bestie," said Ish with her puppy dog eyes. Oh crap! How could I say no? When she begged so much.. Alright.. Alright.. Drama queen.. I'll come.. If it makes you happy, "Wow.. That's my girl.." Ish hugged me tightly, murmuring, "I love you, girl." As soon as we had our lunch, we went to the washrooms and applied a little makeup to go. Around 3 p.m., we reached there. It was almost too crowded, but luckily we got a nice spot with a good view. The time we stepped here, she was showing me the players, of which she was aware and babbled about how hot they looked. I never knew that she had such a guy's dictionary. Because she almost knew everyone. Before the game, both teams came to the ground with their respective captains. First came our faculty, led by our captain, which surprised me. because the captain is no one but Ethan. Could you believe I hadn't given the slightest hint about it? Though he looks handsome in his football jersey, I didn't feel any specialness. As I said, he's really not my type. Then came the medical faculty team, which got my attention—not the whole team, though. To be honest, the whole team looked super hot, but their captain had a particularly handsome and arrogant look, which caught my attention. He is more than 6 feet tall, and his masculine, sun-tanned body makes any woman drool. As soon as he entered, girls started to scream his name. Jake.. That's his name, and not like Ethan, he didn't pay any attention to those fan girls, which makes me quite impressed. I heard some shouting, "I love you, Jake." "Be mine".. Bla bla bla, lots of crap But I should admit he didn't give a sh*t about those girls. It makes me wonder whether he has any girlfriends—not that I care. Just curious.. The game started, and my eyes were always following him through the entire time, though he didn't even know of my presence in this stadium. I should admit that not only his look but he got a talent too.. Obviously he may be smart as well since he's in the medical faculty.. As I mentioned for Ish I don't no head or tail about football but the game was super exciting. He was so fast and energetic which lead him to get few fantastic goals.. At last they won which make my bestie bit more sad but as always she got what she want.. A phone number from a medical faculty player called Ace. As for her view he is super handsome which I partly agree.. Not super handsome.. Just handsome.. The next day in the faculty, I met Ethan when I was about to leave the parking lot. As soon as he saw me, he had a quick grin and stepped to my side. I was just trying to avoid him when he blocked my path and said, "Not so soon, beautiful." I looked at his face and asked, "What now, Ethan?" "I'm getting late for my class."? Why in a hurry, babe? I just want to talk to you. "Tiya.. Isn't it your name?" 1st Ethan.. Don't call me babe. because I'm not. And yes, Tiya is my name. What do you want to talk about? "OK.. OK.. Sweetheart.. Don't get angry." "Why don't we hang out today?" "In the evening." Ethan said. I'm so sorry, but no. I'm busy today. "What about tomorrow?" he asked. I don't think so. because I've got some plans. "What kind of plan, babe?" "Because, as far as I know, you don't have a boy friend." "So how could you be so busy?" Holy crap.. He has already done my background check as well. The coming color is no good. So I said, "Ethan, please understand." I have some work to do with Ish. "Why are you trying to be boring, huh?" "We both know that we are attracted to each other, but why deny it." "There are so many girls after me, but my heart and soul have both been occupied by your beauty since yesterday." "You've got some charm, girl." "I was so restless to see you today." Mmm.. Ethan.. I really have to go now. Prof. Anderson asked me to meet him in his office before the class. "OK! then can I at least text you?" No way this jerk is letting me go... So I used my whole strength and ran as far as I could.. He tried to follow me, but luckily he got stuck with a bunch of his fan girls, which made my escape easier. Evening after classes, Ish wanted to buy a dress for coming Friday. Since Ace gave them the number, they have started to text at noon and at night. I could always see my chatty bestie grinning at her screen most of the time. When I asked her, she said he is always flirting with her and admiring her beauty, though he hasn't asked her out officially. So cheesy!? Since we started shopping, which is one of my favorite things to do, we came across several, but at last we thought why we should go with those since we could try some of our own designs. Since Ish wanted me to design two short dresses that would suit a nightclub and she wanted both of us to wear black, Oh! I forgot to mention that she wanted me as a "third wheel" to go, though I objected right away and was eventually convinced to go. Honestly.. half of what I agreed to was because of my bestie, but the other half is because of my secret crush, which I never thought that I would have so soon. Guess who.. Yes, you are correct. He's that super-handsome Greek god Jake. Call me crazy; I'm head over heels. Yes I'm.. I cannot believe what I am thinking right now because this is so far from my goals. As a normal girl, I would love to have a romantic relationship with a super handsome and talented guy at university, but my target is to somehow become one of the best fashion designers first. So I wanted to devote my full attention to it; therefore, I thought an affair would be a distraction. But when I saw Jake a few days ago at the match, I felt some unbelievable attraction for him, which is very unusual for me. I don't know much about him yet, but if I say attraction at first sight would be more appropriate, Oh.. god.. Honestly, I couldn't stop thinking about his devilishly handsome face and the signature smirk that came to his lips whenever he scored a goal. Oh! Jake.. You better be single... If he has a girl, I don't know what will happen to my poor heart. No way, Tiya. You aren't going to think negatively. Be positive.. Remember the law of attraction? Thoughts become things... Okay, he will definitely be available. The way he didn't pay much attention to his fan girls means one day he'll definitely be a good, loyal boyfriend. As Ish mentioned, this Friday, a few of Ace's friends will also be joining us, so hopefully there will be a chance for me to see Mr. Superhandsome personally.
