My Lttle Human

Chapter 2

Aurelia Brown

Finally, I sighed for the nth time today as I settle down on my seat. I'm currently on a flight going from New York City to Seattle. I have been in New York City all my life and didn't imagine a day would come when I will have to leave for good.

I grew up as an orphan and was raised at an orphanage. That was where I met my boyfriend or ex boyfriend Matt.He is past tense now. Growing up, he was my best friend, and the only one who didn't call me a nerd. I've known him since my childhood and we practically did everything together.

He was adopted when I was fourteen, he sixteen. So he had to leave, and we lost contact. But as fate will have it, we met four years later when I was a freshman in college and he was a junior. We were so happy to see each other and he tutored me since we both major in software engineering.

At that time, he was in a relationship with Macy, a hot cheerleader on campus and he seemed to be in love with her. I was hurt because I had a crush on him. I eventually put aside my feelings and gave Matt my full support since the guy has helped me out in countless ways.

I was a bookworm in school and didn't have time for relationships. Not after Luke, the guy I dated in my department tried to force himself on me during one of our nights out two weeks into the relationship and that didn't go well because Matt gave the guys a serious beating and that was the end of my relationship with Luke. And I never gave anybody a chance after that. And I could not deny that part of me still loved Matt.

Macy broke up with Matt after they graduated and it turned out she cheated on him with another rich guy. Matt was so devastated and I felt pity for him because I could tell just how much he loved her.

Matt and I grew closer and eventually he asked me out immediately after I graduated and I agreed almost instantly because I loved him and he was the only guy I have ever close to.

We were together for a year then he did something that made me detest him.

Few weeks after our anniversary Matt stole the prototype of an app I was developing and went lunched it.He did not even bother to change the name of the app. He completely took credit for my months of hard work and sleepless night.

When I confronted him about it, he was mad at me for no reason and claimed he just help me in publicizing my work since I was not sure about it and he wouldn't let a rare gem like that go to waste. Why would he do that with giving credit to me?. He was fully aware that I was not ready to launch that app yet.

I ended things with him instantly as I was not ready to be with a thief and an opportunist. He didn't take it well as he stared disturbing me. He would come to my workplace to harass and embarrass me. He even went as far as telling people I broke up with him because I was cheating and I was not happy about his recent accomplishment -my work.

When I could not take it anymore, I decided it was time to leave New York. I cannot afford to stay in the same city Matt was staying. He made the environment too toxic for me.

I leaned back on my seat and close my eyes as the air hostess started the safety demonstration.

"Seattle please be good, please." I sighed as I drifted to sleep.

Our plane had a touchdown six hours later. I stepped out of the airport with my bags, feeling the cool air. It was mid-spring and the weather was nice. I'm putting on a plane baggy tee-shirt with baggy faded jeans and face cap. I like wearing clothes bigger than me to hide curves. I don't like people especially men staring at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Adjusting my face cap to shield my face, I hailed a taxi to take me to my new apartment. I settle in and took out my phone. I haven't been online in a while, and I needed something to distract me for now.

I saw an article on the entertainment tabloid and clicked on it

"Maximus Kent, the billionaire business tycoon has been spotted with the famous supermodel Kimberly Clark for the second time this month. And this time in rather compromising position."

A picture of Maximus and Kimberly kissing and grabbing each other was attached to it.

Maximus 26 and Kim 24 were first spotted on a fundraiser and the duo has. caught the media's eye since then.

Maximus has not been in lots of relationship and he is never seen with the same woman twice making Kim the first woman he would go out with twice. And to make it more interesting the two are caught in a heated make out session

Could this mean Maximus is really into Kim or this is just a fling?. Coes it mean our eligible bachelor is going to be off the market soon?."

I rolled my eyes as I read the article. Almost everyone knew Maximus Kent, or the cold hottie as most people call him online as he doesn't smile in any pictures or interviews. He is the owner of Nimbus Airlines and super rich. The guy has been on Forbes Billionaires list three years in a row. And has been on the tabloids twice for allegedly dating elite women.

I remember the first time I saw him on the news, I could feel his cold blue eyes giving me the chills from the TV. He has this aura that screamed power and dominance.

So he is going out with Kim now, she is even my age.

Why am I even thinking about him. It's not that I will ever get to see him. I'm not supposed to think about any Man. They are all the same.

I cleared my mind as I rest my head on the seat and admire my surroundings. I really hope Seattle will be a nice place for me
