Chapter 2 EPISODE TWO - UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER 1

Alice spent yesterday packed her things her parents made sure she packed a lot of things. After making sure everything was packed, she took her luggage downstairs to meet her parents. "Dad, mum I'm all set," Alice said making her father sigh. "Dad there you go again being all emotional, aren't you happy for me?" Alice asked.

"No I'm not happy, I can't believe that our little girl is so big now, she's moving out to live on her own," Darlington said. "Dad you don't hve to worry, I will be living with Ana for a while before i get my own house and I can take care of myself," Alice said. "We trust you can but to us my dear, you are still our little baby that we have to protect," Chelsea said.

"Okay let's stop being emotional, come on you might miss your flight," Chelsea said. Alice was driven to the airport by her parents, they said there emotional goodbyes before leaving. To be honest to herself she will also miss her parents, this is the first time she living far from home but she won't be able to fulfil all her dreams if she stuck to her parents bossom.

So no matter how sad she was she will still go to Texas to start a new life. Alice's flight was delayed by an hour so she went to a cafe nearby to get a cup of coffee and some cupcakes on her way out she bumped into a young man and spilled the entire hot cup on coffee on him.

Despite spilling coffee on the young man, Alice didn't notice or rather her brain didn't register that incident, she was completely mesmerized by the man standing in front of her. With her eyes wide and mouth agape, she exclaimed, "Oh...my god".

She has never seen a man so beautiful with well-crafted facial features, skin as pale and smooth like a woman's, long eyelashes, straight nose, thin lips which were as red as strawberries and his eyes, there was something about them that compelled her to get lost in them.

"How can you be so clumsy?" The young man asked bringing Alice out of her world. "Oh I'm sorry Sir, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to," Alice said using her handkerchief to wipe off the stain. "Tch, that won't work, I will just get change in the washroom," the man said. "I will come with you Sir, so I can help," Alice blurted out making the young man look at her skeptically.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant, I just wanted to help," Alice said and left hurriedly out of embarrassment, how can she suggest to follow him to the washroom, to do what exactly, to help him take a bath. Alice went back to the airport trying to forget that embarrassing moment.

When the hour time was up, she processed her documents and went to board the plane. "You again!" Alice exclaimed when the guy from earlier came to sit beside her. "Is there a problem?" He asked. "No nothing," Alice said and turned away. "Sir I'm sorry for earlier," Alice said. "It's already in the past so forget about it," the man said, brought out his laptop to work, a clear indication that he will not entertain any other talk.

Alice didn't bother him anymore, she turned her attention to the movie that was playing. Throughout the journey, the young man beside Alice kept his eyes glued to his laptop, Alice wanted to talk to him but he just had this unapproachable aura around that will make people hesitate to approach him.

After about two and a half hours the plane landed at Texas. After clearing her luggages, Alice looked around for the guy earlier but couldn't find him, she didn't let that disturb her, after all everyone is meant to meet a mysteriously beautiful person once in a life time.

"Alice," someone screamed her name as soon as she got to the exit. "Oh my God, Ana," Alice said and hugged her. "I almost didn't recognize you, you've changed a lot, you look good girl," Ana said pulling out of the hug. "Of course, I got to look good, if not how will I get a handsome boyfriend," Ana said jokingly. "I take that back, you haven't changed, not even a bit, same old Ana," Alice said.

"I'm glad you moved here, missed you a lot," Ana said hugging her. "I missed you a lot too," Alice said. "Come on, let's go to my house," Ana said flagging down a taxi.

"How is it, it's looks expensive right?" Ana asked after showing Alice around her apartment. "What do I say it's nice but, do you really earn much to get this kind of place?" Alice asked. "The salary is good but I had to eat only twice a day to save enough of money for this house, I cut down a lot of expenses, it was also paid in installation and the agent in charge of this building was my boyfriend so I got a huge discount," Ana said.

"Oh I get it now, that's nice but do you have something to eat I'm kinda of hungry," Alice said. "Same old you, you still like food a lot, I cooked some spaghetti before going to the airport" Ana said leading her to the kitchen. After eating, Ana took Alice on a tour, she showed her all her favorite place. They ended the tour in a bar and return home last in the night dead drunk.

Next day

Alice followed to work since it was the day of the interview, she was nervous the company was a big and well know in Texas, seeing the amount of people going for the interview only made her nervous.

"I will have to leave you here," Ana said. "I'm so nervous, I think im the youngest here, everyone here look so experienced and competent," Alice said. "I trust you girl, you can do this just remember the tips I gave you yesterday, don't talk too much and be confident," Ana said. "Okay," Alice said. "I will get going, good luck," Ana said and left.
