"Strangers on the Street"

Chapter 1

Rpov

I was sitting at my desk going over what need to be done for the day when Mia gently opened the door and peaked in.

"Yes Mia?"

"Ms. Hathaway, a Dimitri Belikov sent in this manuscript to be read"

"Thank you Mia, I will read it over in a little bit"

She nodded her head and came and placed the manuscript on my desk. I read the title "Strangers on the open plains" and decided to read it instead of waiting to get my other duties done fist. After reading the first couple of chapters, that had me crying, laughing and smiling I knew that I needed to have Mia get in contact with this Mr. Belikov so that we can set up a meeting to get his story published. I buzzed Mia

"Yes Ms. Hathaway?"

"Mia, will you please get in contact with Mr. Belikov and ask him when he's able to come in for a meeting"

"Yes Ms. Hathaway"

I spent the rest of the day going between doing what I had to get done and reading the story. I was really enjoying and I wondered if he had any other stories up his sleeve. I couldn't wait to meet this man. Before I left at the end of the day Mia told me that Mr. Belikov was able to come in tomorrow for the meeting at 10:00am, I thanked her and then left for the day.

~The Next Day~

I was running late for my meeting with Mr. Belikov; rush hour in New York was never easy to get through even when I don't have a meeting. I had just gotten out of my cab in front of the building and I didn't notice the stone that was on the ground, I stumbled and waited for the impact of hitting the ground but it never came, instead what I felt was strong male arms around me. He straighten me into a standing position,

"Are you okay?" the man asked me with a slight Russian accent

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for catching me before I hit the side walk"

"It's no problem"

From the moment I look into his eyes there was instant attraction more than I have ever felt for anyone. I thanked him once more and ran into the building, hoping that I hadn't been keeping Mr. Belikov waiting long. When I reached my floor, I walked over to Mia's desk

"Mia is Mr. Belikov here yet?"

"No ma'am, he phone saying that he was running late"

"Well when he gets in please send him right away"

"Yes ma'am"

I thanked her and then went to my office, after sitting down I flipped trough my notes of things that I wanted to discuss with Mr. Belikov but I was having trouble keeping my mind off the man from downstairs, he was so handsome with his brown eyes and brown hair that was a few shades lighter then my own. I was disappointed in myself for not getting at least his name or number, but I knew in a city this big there was a slim chance of seeing him again. A few minutes later, Mia buzzed me to let me know that Mr. Belikov had arrived; I thanked her for letting me know and told her to show him in. I put my heels back on and stood when I saw the door open, in walked Mia and the man that had saved me from falling, I was stunned that it was the same person, I thanked Mia and dismissed her. Once she had closed the door, I walked over to the man, stuck out my hand and said

"Rose Hathaway"

"Dimitri Belikov"

"So a writer and a rescuer of damsels in distress I see"

"No, just a writer and someone that was in the right place and the right time" he said smiling

I returned his smile and then asked him to take a seat; I walked around to my desk and notice that he waited till I was seated to take his seat; what a gentleman. I opened my notes and began going over what I wanted to discuss with him, he was willing to change the few things that I had suggestions about. I told him that I loved the book and I couldn't wait for it to be published and to see if flying off the shelves. He told me that it was always a far off dream of his to have a book published and now that it was coming true, he couldn't believe it. I told him that it was all true and that I couldn't wait to see what other books he had in him just waiting to burst out on paper.
