One More Chance

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States December 15th It was the kind of day that made one feel happy to be alive. The sun shining so bright in the sky, the bright glass sparkled and the flowers blazed with colour. Everyone was in a hurry and hardly any one of them could see where they were going, still no one bothered. Everyone was happy because it was Christmas season, a lot of hustle and bustle in the shopping malls as people were buying gifts for loved ones. A slim, young, neatly dresses lady with kinky hair of about 24 years was struggling to carry a bunch of gifts in one hand and a basket of toys in another. Suddenly she missed a step and nearly fell flat on her face when a shadow fell towards her path and she looked up and glaced at the figure before her. A tall, dark, handsome young man stretched out his hands to catch her. "Can I help you with that?" said the young man. "Sure, I don't mind" she replied. He took hold of the basket of toys and he leaned it towards his chest due to the fact that it was slightly heavy, they carried the other gifts and they both walked out of the mall. Soon they approached a black Range Rover, he put the toys in the trunk with the other gifts and shut it close. "So, if I may ask, what's your name?" He asked "Um, my name is Allison Jones" she replied shyly "Nice to meet you Allison, I'm Roberts by the way. Roberts Hobbs." Allison smiled as a sign that she was pleased with his greetings. "So, what direction are you heading? Asked Roberts "Garden Scapes avenue" she said smiling. "Alright, let's be on our way then" he exclaimed. They entered Roberts car and fast off they went. --------------------------- Robert was a 28 year old man who was very well to do. He was tall, good looking and had blonde hair. He was from a rich family and was utterly spoilt. While growing up, whatever he wanted, he got it, as far as money could buy it. He was a university graduate from Harvard University. His mom always wanted the best for him as the one and only child they had. The car was driven by a man named Albert. It was a smooth but long ride. The ride was a really awkward one. They both sat at the back seats of the car and they spoke at different intervals. Allison was really conscious of his eyes on her and when she tried to steal a glance, their eyes met. She looked down, ashamed as her long lashes swept her cheeks, bit her lower lip and focused her eyes on the road. Hi family, please feel free to share your thoughts and comments concerning this book.
