My Christmas Romance

Chapter 2: Meet William

I saw her sitting down alone, with all other kids running around playing. She looked so innocent but there was sadness in all of those innocence.

"Hey dear, what's your name?' She looks at me and pouts almost like she was going to cry." I am Annabel, I don't want to be here"

"Oh my dear" I sit down next to her and draw her close to me. "I know how hard it is, the first day you come to a new school. It's always hard to make friends but you can join an extracurricular activity, it's really going to help

She looks at me "but I don't know what to go for"

I smiled at her and asked her if she was involved in any activity in her former school, she just shook her head so innocently.

"Okay, I have an idea." I said as I stood up and dragged her up with me. "I promise you it is going to be fun okay? And it would definitely make you come out of your shell"

She looked at me confused " Am I a snail? I thought only snails have shells" I laughed so hard and explained to her that it's just an idiomatic expression and that it doesn't mean she is a snail. "Oh.." she says like she just learned something new.

We got to my dance class ,where there are some other kids there talking and some practising. " Alright class", I said as I walked to the front of the class "we have someone new here, her name is Annabel and you guys are going to be nice to her."

"Hey Annabel, over here.." James who is also a student in my class and the kindest called her. She hesitated for a while.

"You don't have to be shy, you can come dance with us we would help you with the routine" James with his sweetness says, motioning towards Annabel to come over.

" That's so sweet of you James." I watched them for a while and thought them something new and to my surprise, Annabel was catching up pretty fast and I was really amazed.

The bell went off and school was over. As the students hurried off , I called Annabel " Hey Annabel. You did pretty good today. How come you are so quick to catch the moves. Do you have an interest for dance?"

"I used to dance with my mom all the time" she said excitedly. She started moving her body, showing me what her mom taught her and she was laughing and missing some steps which cracked me up. Our little moment was interrupted by a laugh, a manly laugh. It took over the room and it was all I could hear. Then Annabel ran out screaming "Hey, Daddy". I looked up and saw the most beautiful face I have ever set my eyes upon. Perfectly carved in the right places, acute jawline, eyes like a god, Oh and those lips , I want those to be the only thing my mouth would be tasting every morning.I literally have a demi god standing in front of me. Gosh, Claire, for Chrissake that is someone's husband. It took me some minutes to notice I already have goosebumps on my body.

"Ahem" I cleared my throat and adjusted myself as I walked out to meet this mystery in front of my class.

"Hey Mr Adams, my name is Claire and I am Annabel's dance instructor " I introduced myself as I shook hands with him and tried to act professional. He looked surprised like he was just hearing that word for the first time. I had to explain to him clearer, "She joined the extracurricular activity. Well she didn't know what to be part of so I met with your sweet daughter and spoke with her to join my dance class"

He looked at me like he was looking for a fault or rather judging my professionalism, oh my God , does he know that I was admiring him earlier. s**t, I tried to compose myself. "Mr Adams " I called out to him. He looks so damn handsome I can't just ignore even tho I try so hard. He thanked me and I don't even know what for. I spoke to him about our dance routine and the days classes are held. I could not just get over every details in his face. This is hands down the most beautiful creature in the world. Gosh, not again, I need to quickly leave before I say something stupid..
