CHAPTER 1
"Damn snow", Thyme downshifted to second gear and slowed the jeep to fifteen miles an hour.He swore and strained his eyes.
'There would be no waiting out this storm', he thought as he took the next curve at a crawl.
He had only five miles to go then he could Stoke his fire and enjoy the November blizzard from the comfort of his home, with a hot cup of chocolate.
As Thyme was driving only a mile to go, a smirk showed on his smooth particularly handsome face as he run his hand through his dark blonde hair as he listened to music. then suddenly a car was barrelling down the road sideways. he didn't even have time to curse, he jerked to the right just as the incoming car seemed to come out of his spin.
"What The f**k!!!". he got pissed and came out of the jeep angrily
fighting his way through the snow, he managed to make it to the wretched car
then he saw a figure slump over the wheel and he yanked at the door that was already locked,
within a blink of an eye he began to pound on the window
the figure moved and a young girl with thick dark raven hair that coverd her shoulders came in view, he watched her reach up and she stared at him
she rolled the window, blinked and asked,
" did I hurt you"? with concern.
his anger dissipated as he saw the young figure. 'she was marble white even her lips were colorless, her eyes were thin lake blue eyes and she was beautiful, stunningly breath takenly beautiful. he looked down at her diamond shaped face, the prominent cheek bones and the full lower lip.' he thought. "No you didn't".
she started the engine and to her to surprise the car broke down." damn, she said with annoyance".
He looked at her and studied her face as she furiously unhooked her seat belt and took in a long deep breath. " l don't suppose there is anyway you are going to get your car out of here".
she sighed." Not tonight, starting school in a week, first of all moving, now this s**t! " she cursed".
Frowning, Thyme stuck his hands in his pockets , The snow was still falling and the road was deserted.he thought 'if he had turned around leaving her to fend all alone she might very well freeze to death, he couldn't leave her here stranded cold and lonely.
"The best I can do is to take you with me" Thyme said.
She could feel that he was angry and impatient about nearly been hit, there was not any ounce of graciousness in his tone, " I am sorry for the inconvenience".
He moved his shoulders, aware that he had been rude "it's okay, my house is just at the top of the hill, you can just leave your car and get into mine"
" I would appreciate it" she said.
Both of them got into the car and zoomed off.
"I'm sorry once again" she spoke gracefully,
as she introduced herself. "Eleanor Nova"
and you? referring to him. "Oh uhmm Thyme Monroe"
As an half a mile left, he continued to play is song and to his surprise she knew the song and was singing along to the lyrics
[ hold me closer
hold me closer
hold me closer
hold me closer
saw you dancing at the ocean
running fast along the sand
a spirit born of earth and water
fire flying from your hands
hold me closer, tiny dan...]
She wasn't able to finish the lyrics because of the loud honk of the jeep that interrupted her.
she was so engrossed in the song she kķķ m when they got to the gate, the gate was painted black with two lions imprinted on it with gold
" Oh we're" surprised.
" yes we are, you looked shocked, cause we are here".
Ella drifted to thought 'Thyme Monroe, rings a bell, Thyme Monroe the eligible bachelor the son of Rooney Monroe the most reputed tycoon in City X of TIKS Entreprises and the Oil and Gas facility'.
Frown formed on his forehead ,'swore angrily then groaned, Taps her on the lap', "Eleanor!!!"
As she drifted away from thoughts" yeah".
Thyme spoke angrily"Get down" as he got down down from his side.
