First Encounter
I walked home humming to myself. It was raining and my car had broken down, even so I was still as happy as one could be. I was so excited I was able to return from my business trip. My boyfriend Francis would be so surprised. I smiled to myself, thinking of his warm embrace and soft soothing kisses. I finally reached my home and as I fumbled for my keys I heard some odd noises, then a loud "Oh Francis~"
I felt my heart stop.
"No. Oh please God, no."
I sneaked to the back so I could peer into our bedroom window.
"Please no, not again..."
I peered into the window to see him making love to another. I could feel the tears stream down my cheeks. He... He was cheating on me. Again. I could feel the anger and sadness boiling inside me. I didn't know what to do. I had sold my house in London to move in with him. I just ran. I didn't know what to do, so I just ran.
I ran until I had no idea where I was.
The rain began to pour harder. I looked around to find some place to escape the downpour. After wondering around for a few minutes I spotted a Chinese tea house. "Well a cup of tea sounds nice..." The inside of the shop was beautiful; it had traditional Chinese decorations, and it smelled of wonderful Oolong tea.
"Ni hao, may I help you?"
I looked up to see one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She had long, silky, dark brown hair and bright, golden eyes that seemed to stare into my soul.
" I, uh.. I, ummmm" I couldn't help but stutter.
She walked over to me, looking at me with a puzzled expression. She then placed her hand on my cheek. It was soft and warm. I could feel my face heat up. It felt...nice.
Then she removed her hand and looked down at it, then looked back at me with a concerned look on her face.
"What is your name?"
"A-Arthur Kirkland."
"My name is Yao. Mr. Kirkland are you alright? You are crying aru."
I hadn't realized it until then, but I was still crying. When I saw her looking at me, this complete stranger, looking at me with such concern, I felt something inside me snap. I broke down sobbing.
She wrapped her arms around me, humming and stroking my back to soothe me. I don't know why, but it felt almost natural.
