CHAPTER ONE

DYLAN

It was yet another Monday morning, Monday mornings were the worst ever to me , well to any other person it was normal to hate Mondays, because it comes with hangovers and every other sort of laziness

I dragged myself out of my bed and headed for the shower. I had a few minutes before going to the shop.

I used to work as a waiter in a certain coffee shop just a few kilometers from my house.

I lazily got to the shower and proceeded with my morning routine

A few minutes later I was on my way to the shop.

I need bothered to take breakfast because they usually offered us free breakfast at the shop.

I had my classes fixed so I only had afternoon classes and would go to the shop in the morning hours.

At school I didn't get a chance to make friends considering the fact that I was from a very humble background, most of the guys in my School were from a rich background so they usually walked in pairs.

I mean where would you even get the chance to even get to know their names? Everything about them remained in their circle and I was good with that.

I had at least twenty minutes before my shift started so I decided to walk to the shop.

With my backpack, I walked steadily into the shop and I bumped into someone on her way out.

Her coffee spilled all over the place and she cursed

I don't know if it was my mistake, hers or the both of us but then I figured out maybe it was me because I wasn't careful enough to see another person coming from the other end.

We both bend down to pick the coffee tumbler and our hands met.

I never understood the chemistry between us but then I only felt some sparkles the moment our hands met.

We both hurried to mumble sorry at the same time and our eyes met in the midst.

Her gorgeous blue eyes, they reminded me of Ivanna, my ex girlfriend.

This stranger was exactly her replica; I was so lost and caught up in the moment that I didn't realize my boss calling my name

I couldn't read well between her eyes but I knew they spoke something to me

No one had ever made me feel like that, it was only Ivanna and speaking of Ivanna I remembered what had really transpired between us.

The ugly moment when she broke up with me in front of her bunch of friends just because I was a dumb ass, with no cash to offer to her, I made her the laughing stalk in her group so she had no otherwise than calling it quits with me.

Dylan! What the hell!"

"Ohm I'm sorry Sir" I mumbled under my breathe

How many times have I called you, what's wrong with you today?"

Im sorry Sir I wasn't concentrating and I bumped into her, it won't happen again"

Youre very clumsy this is not the first time you're saying that, I've slashed away your salary several times but seems you haven't learnt your lesson yet maybe I just take this job from you"

Sir please this is the only job I have, I have school fees and bills to pay please don't fire me'

Excuse me sir, I believe I'm the complainant and I should just say it was an accident don't fire him I'll just get another coffee"

Mrs. Stranger, my knight in shining armor had come to my rescue, I almost smiled but then I remembered the situation I was in so I kept my mouth shut and waited for Mr. Alistairs response.

Seems luck was on my side because he actually listened to the stranger and that's how I got my job back.

I wished to meet the stranger and actually apologize and thank her for saving my ass but then I never got the chance, I mean how would I have reached her when I didn't even have her number?

"Man that was close" Dan my workmate told me as soon as I joined him on the counter

Yeah I almost lost my job, but I thank God"

That pretty blonde girl saved you, you should thank her otherwise we wouldn't be here talking"

I know but then how would I even reach out to her and appreciate it's not like I have her number plus I've never seen her here before or have you?"

"No it's actually my first time, but from the way you guys were looking at each other for those few seconds someone would have mistaken you for an old couple"

Youre kidding me" I said back to him knowing well that what Dan was saying was nothing but the truth.

I had known Dan for the long time I was working at that coffee shop, I can't say he was my best friend but then I preferred calling him a brother. We were buddies ever since then although he took a different course from mine.

I was fantasizing about the stranger I met just few hours ago and that's something shocking to me because I had never been in such a situation.

After our shift, we headed out with Dan to School; I had one class while Dan had two so we promised to meet up in my place in the evening.

I walked into the lecture hall and sat at the back, my normal spot.

The rest of the lecture I was listening to nothing at all my mind was far away thinking about my life, my ailing mother back at home with my two kids sisters who were all depending on me, Ivana's issue and how she just popped out of nowhere and decided to call it quits with me, I mean everything was on a standstill.

By the time the lecturer walked out I had totally zoned out, the dragging of chairs and scrumming of feet brought me back to earth.

I hurriedly hurled my book in my backpack and proceeded out of the lecture hall.

Just as I was about to reach the main door to the lecture theater my phone started vibrating from my jeans Pocket.

I checked the caller ID and it was my mom's, I wondered why my mom would call me at such an hour or maybe there was an emergency, I pressed the receive button and placed my phone on the ear.

"Dylan"

That was Melissa's voice, she was talking amidst crying and I wondered what happened to her

Melissa why are you crying is everything okay?" I asked alarmed

"No yes"

What do you mean no yes!?"

Its about mom, she fall sick and was admitted at the hospital"

"When"

Today, just an hour ago"

“What hospital?"

St Mark's hospital"

Im coming" I said and with that I hurried out of the school gate towards my house
