Chapter 1: Black Pearl.

Sydney Fox sat on top of the washing machine in her kitchen, she was downing breakfast really quick, Shit! I am late! Claudia will even be there on time at this rate! Sydney rushed around the house gathering all her things together. She dived into her bedroom, last nights date lay sprawled out on her bed, she brushed her teeth hurriedly. Who's idea was it to get drunk? Man I can't even remember last time I had a hangover this bad.

Her car was in service, but there always was Brett's motorbike? He won't mind, Sydney reached for the keys. He won't mind would he, I will just leave him a note. Sydney scribbled a note on a piece of paper. 2 hours late! Crap there was a teachers meeting this morning. S C R E W E D.

Sydney jumped on the bike, and set off for the university. When she arrived everyone stopped and stared. Wide eyed and curious. Sydney hoped off the bike, pulling off the helmet she felt the air go still. "Whoa! Professor F O X! Nice bike! Take me for a ride?" teased one student. Sydney gave him a glare. He turned red and ran off. She charged into the school, her black hair billowing behind her. Staff meeting, damn oh damn! She pressed her hand against the door and walked in out of breath and hung over, "Sorry I am cough I forgot to set my alarm" she finished triumphantly. I haven't pulled that excuse since college. "So nice of you to grace us with your presence, Ms. Fox sit down." Snapped Mr. Jenkins. Sydney took her seat next to Nigel "Late night? Syd" he whispered.

"Shut up Nigel," she grumbled.

"Oi! Syd it's over" Nigel shook Sydney awake.

"Huh? I agree with Peterson!" she yelled raising her hand in the air. Her eyes grew wide. "Oh, it's over thank god."

"Yeah, and Syd mind telling me why you are so late?"

"No, I think the truth would be too delicate for yours ears Nige" she grinned.

Nigel flushed red; he didn't need to know what Sydney got up to outside of work, he didn't want to know.

"Oh! Was it ah…. one of those types of..." They rounded the corridor, to go into the office. On the desk sat 10 bunches of black roses. Claudia walked up to Sydney. "Syd, you got all these roses, I didn't look at the card. I just put…." Claudia broke off in mid sentence. Sydney walked into her office every space was covered in black roses.

"The roses that couldn't fit in your office are on my desk…" Claud finished. Sydney turned around and laughed, throwing her hair back chuckling to her self. "A package arrived for you Syd. I put it on your desk; I hope you can find it."

"Thanks Claudia, what am I going to do with all these flowers?" she found a black package on her desk; she opened a card it had a black rose on it. The card read.

Dear Ms. Sydney Fox,

I trust you know who it is? If you don't I will be most disappointed.

I hope that you like the gift. If you remember me, meet me at the Plaza hotel tonight at 8 room 413.

Lots of love,

You know who?

A thousand black roses, for the one I love.

Sydney smiled. She looked down at the package, she opened it a silver necklace with a black rose pendant on it. It was made from black pearl. It caught the light perfectly reflecting the shiny black colour. "Achoo!" someone sneezed.

"Bless you Nigel"

"Sydney did I ever happened to mention that I am allergic to black roses?" The Englishman sneezed.

"No I can't say you ever did Nige."

"Hey Syd what have you got there?" he question Nigel stood with his hands on his hips and gave Sydney a sneezey glare.

"Oh, nothing just a black rose." She replied putting the necklace in her pocket.
