So I put my faith in something unknown,
I'm living on such sweet nothing,
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold,
I'm living on such sweet nothing.
And it's hard to learn,
And it's hard to love,
When you're giving me such sweet nothing,
Sweet nothing,
Sweet nothing,
You're giving me such sweet nothing.
~Sweet Nothing -Calvin Harris, Florence Welch
Nina
"Where are we going ?" I ask while sitting blindfolded in his Audi while he drives.
"Now if I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, would it Miss Martin?"Fabian says while chuckling. I have to giggle at him being so fun.
"That's the best sound in the world, your giggle."
I smelt a familiar aroma in the air. I know we're at the beach because the air smells of salt and water. I say nothing as not to ruin his surprise for me.
"Okay, we're here! Now keep your blindfold on until I say so!" He says.
He comes around to my side of the car and lets me out. Grabbing my hand, we start walking until I feel the sand in my sandal. I hear him whisper to someone, but it's so quiet that I can't make out what he's saying. A moment later I hear footsteps walking away, then the car engine start and tires pulling away.
"Fabian?" I ask, it seems to myself. I know he wouldn't just leave me here! "Hey! Where are you?"
"Okay take your blindfold off!" I hear his voice from far away.
I take my blindfold off and my mouth drops at the sight I see. In front of my very eyes I see a path of candles that lead down to a white blanket, which is also surrounded by tiki torches, pillows, fruit, wine and the most beautiful sight ever… My Fabian, standing there with the most breath taking smile on his face.
"Surprise!" He says with such joy and happiness.
"Oh my God, Fabian! This is so beautiful!" I say with tears in my eyes.
He comes stalking up towards me with passion in his blue eyes. He looks every bit the Adonis that I love. Pulling my chin up so I look into his eyes, he places the softest, most sweetest kiss on my lips. Then he reaches down and grabs my hand and leads me down the candle-lit path.
"Please, Miss Martin, have a seat. This is all for you my love," he says He never takes his eyes off of me while doing so. The ambiance surrounding us is something made in fairytales The light from the candles are glowing in his eyes.
I giggle. "Why are you calling me by my last name?"I ask. He grins
"You're so beautiful, Nina. How ever did I get so lucky?" He says ignoring my question
"I think you have that wrong,Fabian. It is me who's the lucky one" I say shyly.
I rub my eyes,trying to clear my blurry eyes adjusted to the light. I rolled out of bed. Will you always thing of him? Dreaming too? Move on Nina! When was the last time you had a date? Or have you just sworn off men?! My subconscious yells.
I ignore her. I hear my phone beep. I pick it up and see that I have a text. 'Just got off the plane :) I'll be there soon!' I read Amber's text. At least someone from Anubis House still remembers me...Don't be a negative Nina. Your best-friend is coming you should be excited.
She's right. I know I am. I'm always right! I sigh. Why are you always negative You went to the collage of your dreams... This apartment that you live in is amazing. You being anti-social is the only problem.I text Amber back.'Okay...See you when you get here!' I place my phone on my bed side table. I go take a shower and do the other usual things I do in the brush my teeth wash my face etc...
I have nothing else to do until Amber comes so I plop down on the couch and turn on the TV. 'The Notebook' is on.I really don't feel like crying. I can never make it through this movie without crying.I continue to watch the movie anyways.
I'm in the middle of the movie when it's a knock on the door. It could only be Amber. I get up to answer the door. No one's here. I look around the hallway.I see flower's placed on the welcome mat.I picked up the the was a note attached to it.
I love you for all reasons...Big and small...All of them are wonderful.
~Your Secret Admirer
"What?"I mutter to myself. I close the door. I sit on the couch setting the flowers down on table. I read the note. Who could it be? I have no one special in my life. No one showed interest in me. Why would any guy? Negative Nina's coming again. Like I said before. Be happy! Some one said the loved you. Love not like. LOVE! I hear a knock on the door again.I set down the ! She squeals really pulls me into a hug.
"Neens!"She squeals. "I missed you!" She says in a perky releases me. I motion for Amber to come in. She grabs her hot pink suitcases and enters.
"Hey Ambs." I smile.
"Are you sure this is an apartment . It's sooo BIG!"
"Positive."I confirm."Amber, Your only being here for a week do you have go have so many suitcases?"She shakes her head disapprovingly.I have a feeling I'm going to get a fashion lecture.
"How long has it been since we seen each other?"She Amber.I smile at my friend. "Are those flower's?" She motions towards the flowers."They're so pretty! Who from?"
"I don't know."I shrug.
She goes over and picks them sniffs them and smiles as she see's the note."Secret admirer?"Amber says,squealing."We have to find out who it is!"
"Amber we'll never find out who it is!"
"Or will we?" She says.
"Amber why should I even bother looking for him?"I ask Amber. She made me come to the nearest garden because 'He has taste in flowers' as she put it. Like we'll ever find him!
"You should think about it positively. We will find him and you'll be together forever!" Yeah that'll happen!
"That seems a little optimistic,don't ya think."
"It doesn't matter we are going to find him!"She and I sit down on a looks about him?"She says pointing to boy he had sandy brown hair,almost blonde and brown eyes.
"Amber I have no idea what he looks like."
"I know he's doesn't look like the type of guy that'd be a secret admire."Amber observes."What about ...No he's taken."Amber says. I look at the boy she was going to suggest. He has dark brown hair almost black and blue eyes. I recognize them immediately It can't be. He should be in England.
"F-Fabian?"
Fabian
"Seriously Fabian,Where are you taking me?"Rachel asks.
"Didn't I tell you not to ask?"I whacks me in the arm."Ow...For a girl you kit pretty hard."
"Fabes look at that girl's hair it's so pretty."I look over to the girl on the bench.I looked puzzled...Why would she be talking to me about this?
"Which one?"I ask.
"The brown haired one." My eyes that Nina? No. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. She turns her head in my looks away quickly. She noticed me. She muttered something. I looked at the girl next to her. Amber. Amber looks the other direction.
"Fabian I told you to look at her hair not stare her down."Rachel comments,I can tell she's jealous just by her tone.
"Sorry Rachel let's go."
"Where?"
"Just keep walking.
Nina
"What about him?"Amber asked.
"He was j-just...There"
"He didn't say hi? That's not like him."Amber says with a frown."Let's go talk to him!"
"No Amber what if he doesn't remember or -"
"He will"
"What if they're on a date do you really want to interrupt them?"You're just stalling now,You don't care if he's on a date. Amber sure as hell doesn't...Talk to the guy maybe you could be friends again? Best friends. Like the old times?
"You know if it wasn't a girl right there you would have already been over there!"Amber complains."Look you don't even have to get up he's coming over here."
"I look over to the two walking over here. The girl looks like she wants to come over her. Fabian. Not so much.
"Hi, I just wanted to know where you got you hair from?"She asks
"I-I was born with it?"I say
"Hi, Fabian!"Amber says.
"Hi, Amber. H-Hey Nina"Fabian stuttered.Ha! He's nervous when he's around you. You can have him! I roll my eyes . Why am I thinking this he doesn't want me!
"Clare Action's I tell the girl."I tell her trying to ignore I won't say something stupid like 'Hi let's go back out. I've been really depressed and I miss you.'
"You know her Fabes?"
"O-Oh yeah we used to...We we were best friends"
"Fabian you have to call us some time soon?"Amber say handing him a card."Let's go Neens!"
