Chapter 1
( in case if u get confuse):
here, tessa came at airport to see off her younger sister Grace ,who is going to spain on a scholarship for higher studies.
***
tessa’s point of view (pov)~
Sometimes I feel like my sister Grace and I will never catch a break.
But, sometimes , life surprises us - in the form of a study abroad scholarship.
Four years for Grace at the University of Barcelona , all expenses paid,
It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.
Assuming it’s not too good to be true.
At the airport:
" are you gonna miss me ?” grace asked ” are you kidding ? It’ll be nice to have some peace and quiet for once ” .” you didn’t mean that” grace said with a shocked face” I...” I hesitate " Okay fine, I don’t, Seriously though , I wouldn’t let you miss something like this for the world I mean.“” For god’s sake , you’re eighteen ,
It about the time you got out of the town ,I remember when I was her age and spent my gap year in Europe, I felt like I could do anything , the whole world was waiting like an open book.I scowl.And then Grandma died & my college plans were dust in the wind...Come one, Tessa..This is a big day for Grace , don’t ruin it.
" anyway ,do you see your sponsor?” i asked
” is that him over there, ”Across the terminal we spot a man with a sigh that says ” Grace Parker” He is a lot younger than I envisioned, and a lot more handsome. he has pale skin still it looks good on sunlight," oh!” grace exclaim,
I am a little taken back,That’s not who I was expecting at all,But then I get a better look at his clothing .Those sunglasses must have cost two hundred bucks..Must be nice to see those in the store and not think, that’s four electric bills.As we walk up, He greets us.
" are you Grace Parker?” he asked in a husky tone, ” I am .” grace agreed
" Ah, good. Pleased to meet you , Alaric Vasquez , CEO of DSD corp”
" oh , wow ! You’re the CEO himself?” grace asked
" in the flesh”He smiles, and they shake hands.Huh!,I didn’t think nice people were capable of being that nice.I eye him with suspicion.I wonder if he’s being sincere .
" it’s great to meet you ,too, I wanted to thank you in person , When I got your letter, I couldn’t believe it.” she said
Yeah, to be honest, me either.
Grace didn’t even apply for this scholarship,
We just got it in the mail one day ,
It said it based on her high school academic record , so I guess that’s how they found her...but I don’t know.
“Have you checked your luggage ?” he asked ” Not yet, we were just gonna do that when I found you.” she said
"go ahead! I’ll wait for you here.” i said, Grace rolls off with her small, shabby suitcase.
Good.Now I’ll have a minute alone with him. “Alright. Mr. Vasquez?”
“please. Alaric .“, " fine, Alaric ."
“What’s the dorm’s info?”
" the address and number are in the brochure I sent.”
" good.”
” she won’t be staying in a hostel, I promise.”
" she better not be. It’s four years. Long.”
" you’re ...Tessa?” He raised his eyebrows
" Right.”
” Tessa...” he said huskily.
" Your sister will have the best student accommodations in Spain .”
" I am glad.I still want to know how I can keep in contact with her .”And I want to know as much as possible in case anything goes wrong . I hope it doesn’t. It probably won’t ..but I have a Bad feeling about this guy.Alaric slides his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose .He leans in and gazes at me -- and I realise his are a striking shade of Red...I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with eyes that color beforeAre they natural ,or colored contacts?It’s beautiful thought...
I blink.
He’s so close , it’s hard to look away
" trust me...” he said
" Your sister will be in the best possible hands.
" she’ll have the time of her life”
Before, I can answer, Grace comes back .
" okay! All done .“she said, ” I guess this is where we say goodbye...”
" I guess so ”I sniff.
" I ...oh, come here .”I pull Grace into a tight hug.Grace throws her arms around me , too, and I bite back the urge to cry." Mom and Dad would be so proud of you”
" you think so..?“she asked
“I know so.”
" I want you to have the time of your life , okay?”
“I will.” she said firmly
" but call me , Tell me how it’s going .”
" Alright!”
" I love you, Be safe.”
" yeah, bye bye !”
Grace let’s go -- and waves to me one last time .
I watch her until she disappears, and then turn back to the parking lot.On my way, I notice Dean beside a blinding white sports car.Jeez, what must that thing be doing to the environment ?..I guess I can’t talk, though.The way my truck behaves, it’s a wonder it doesn’t run on coal.
