Hi Everyone here on . Here is my shot of CJ love story. I apologize in advance for some grammar and spelling error.
Review would be highly appreciated as it would asses me throughout my writing. Positive and negative are all welcome, but please be gentle on me as this is my first attempt to write fanfic.
PART 1
It's 8:00 in the morning and Lucie finds herself sat at her favorite spot of the Pier Diner again. She has been in summer bay for 5 days now and she always chooses to have her breakfast in the Pier Diner for two great reason, its delicious food and its location that holds the best scenery of summer bay. The Diner perfect location, has become known to every tourists that visited Summer bay, it is overlooking the beach where the sunsets and sunrise is at its best view. The second floor open balcony of the cafe,where Lucie is sitting, has also the best view of the summer bay wharf which is docked by shiny,elegant,luxurious yachts and boats ,both commercial and private.
Lucie is staying in a budget hotel that has its own restaurant, but old habits die hard, she prefers to explore the local eatery and search which one offers the best. Lucie as a freelance journalist and writer,was once a columnist of food and travel magazine and this is where her preference of exploring local delicacies had started.
She enjoy her daily morning walk on the sea side on her way to the diner for her breakfast. It seem to have a relaxing and calming effect to her the sea, the sound of the waves, the salty smell of the wind, she is all enjoying taking in the beautiful view laid before her eyes. For her ,Its like looking at the beautiful seascape painting on a massive canvass.
Wow! what a beautiful place. I could get used to this. I mean what else i could ask for? this is a perfect way to have breakfast, a scenery like that, a relaxing breeze of the sea, and of course a very nice frothy cup of latte in my hand! perfect!, she thought to herself.
Lucie was interrupted in the middle of her thoughts by the waitress greetings.
"Good morning Luce! are you ready to order some food?"
Lucie immediately looked up to the smiling waitress standing in front of her ready to take her order. Lucie back from her trance ,immediately realized where she was.
"Oh Hi! Jenny good morning" Lucie smiled awkwardly.
" I'm sorry i was miles away. I didn't even noticed you are standing there... ahmm yeah! of course! i think i am up for breakfast now, actually i finished my latte ages ago, i think i was just got carried away with the stunning view of the bay and forgot that my tummy is rumbling already" ,she gave the waitress a smile.
"oh i hope i did not intrude you or something in your deep thoughts",sounding apologetic to Lucie.
"Actually, i just started my shift then i saw you so i decided to come and say hello and of course to make sure that you got everything you mean you're not only my favorite customer but you are a friend too", smiled back warmly to Lucie.
"Oh don't worry about it your not intruding anything, its just the view from here is fascinating. It felt weird but i somehow felt a connection with it. I just love it! It takes all my stress away and it even made me forget that i am in the diner and should order some food", a small laugh escaped from Lucie.
Jenny give some reassuring smile, " Oh , don't worry you are not the only one who have that experience, lets just say that this place is gifted with that magical view and thats one of the reason this Diner became known to almost every tourist that visits Summer bay".
Impressed by what she heard from the waitress,
"Hahahaha! You are really good in marketing this place, jenny, i wonder why they did not promote you as a marketing manager? I think you would really do a good job".
"Oh thank you that is a nice compliment. But My Aunt Leah who own this place doesn't think the same, she thinks that i need more of years of experience before i could get hold of that job."
"Oh well, she will eventually see your potential". And by the way i don't wanna keep you too long or the other customer won' t be very happy".
Browsing the menu,Lucie immediately decided what to eat.
"I'm really starving now, so i think i would indulge myself with full English breakfast please" ,Lucie grinning to Jenny.
"Excellent choice!",jenny said as she write Lucie's order on the pad she's holding.
"Ok .if you need anything else just give me a shout".
"Thank you".Lucie gave the young girl a thankful smile.
Lucie was so grateful that in her 5 days stay in summer bay she already make new friends, like Jenny. Jenny had been serving her every breakfast from the day she arrived in summer bay. Lucie was warming to people she met in summer bay they seems to be welcoming, warm and friendly.
Looking back at the view of the pier, Lucie started to admire all the beautiful boats that lined up across the wharf. She had planned to join a tourist boat trip for a day. She was thinking that it would be fun being on board on any of those beautiful and luxurious boats at the pier. Her eyes were fixated for a while on the wharf , when she suddenly noticed a figure sitting on a bench close to the wharf.
Oh its the same lady i saw yesterday... and the other day...
she suddenly realizes and remember that its the same person she saw from the very first day she had her breakfast in the diner.
She seems to be always there everyday, at the same spot and at the same time; staring at the horizon...i wonder what she is thinking...
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted again when Jenny arrives with her food. This time she couldn't resist to ask the waitress, to finally end up her curiosity.
"Jenny, do you know that lady sat on the wharf's bench? I just noticed that She is always sitting in that same bench everyday at the same time. I dont wanna sound too nosey but i kinda wondering why. I mean she's always there from day 1 i got here in summerbay."
Jenny followed the direction where Lucie was looking at. She immediately realized who Lucie was talking about.
"Oh...that lady over there ?...that's Ms. Buckton...she is kinda known to local people here...from what i heard from the locals...the reason why she is in the wharf everyday is because she's been waiting for the love of her life to turned up...her lover works in a trawler boat but then the boat sank and there are only few survivors and her lover wasn't one them...i...i believe the body were never been found."
Lucie's curious facial expression suddenly turned sad. "That is a tragedy". I mean its sad that it happens to someone...she must love the person that much to keep hoping like that"..(sigh)
"Im sure she is devotedly inlove with the person, i mean after many years she still hang in there hoping the person will show up...i know this sounds awful but some even say that she probably gone crazy in the head...i mean her lover vanished in the sea about 40 years ago".
Lucie looked back to Jenny with a questioning expression, after hearing what jenny said, she can't help but be more curious.
It maybe a part of being a journalist that she is almost interested in many things but this one definitely got Lucie's attention. Based on what Jenny had said a moment ago there seems to have a very interesting story behind that lady on the wharf and Lucie couldn't help but wanted to know more.
