NEVER GIVE UP ON WHAT YOU LOVE

Chapter one

One upon a time a black girl in search of love, in search of a true emotional life. Her name was Stephanie but all her friends called her Steph, she was a pretty nice girl in a big world, her mom said her that she should be a kick ass surgeon cause she had incredible hands and what characterized her was a natural talent in medicine, she was able to do what her friends weren't able to do and she was the leader of the group. After few years when she graduated in medicine, she left her home and town to go to the most important medical hospital of the country: the Sloan Grey Memorial Hospital in Seattle, she was a strong girl and prepared to all the situations, she knew that from that moment her life would completely changed but she accepted it. The hospital was a beautiful place, in spite of all the patients who were really sick, there were incredible nurses and surgeons who took care of them and reduced their pain with the most innovative surgeries and their qualities, among all the doctors she found the love of her life, a beautiful doctor with green/blue eyes and a big smile on his face, a plastic surgeon and chief of the hospital, at the beginning she was secretly attracted by him but she didn't say anything to anyone, that would be her little secret, she put it in the deep of her heart and tried to not show to her friends cause she didn't want to show her private life and emotions, she was competitive and a thing like that was a weakness for her, she was scared that she would be excluded by all the surgeries for that reason and she wouldn't lose all her sacrifices for a "weakness", the best weakness ever. In a first moment Jackson didn't notice her cause he was too busy for his work, he had to take care of patients and to take care of the hospital so he wasn't focused on the interns but he read their curriculums and he found them very interesting, nothing more than that. Everybody needed inspirations during work and she found her own inspiration in him, he had something that really impressed her, there was something in his manners that reminded her of her kind of man, when she thought of him an intense creep pervaded all her body and she was sure it was love, she couldn't stop to think of him, he was her obsession.

Chapter two

Stephanie was at home when her phone rang for three times, she answered to the call, it was Jo, one of her friends, she wanted to invite her to a party, she said the textual words: "Hello Steph, I'm Jo, I want to invite you to a party at my house, there will be only few people, it's an occasion to know us better and to stay together, please say yes! I'll be very happy if you'll accept my invite!", Steph wasn't an outsider, she loved parties, music, dance and people so she accepted Jo's invite even if she was worried that Jackson would be invited to the party too and they would understand her secret, but she couldn't lose the occasion of her first friends' invite so she started the preparations for the party. She did a shower and put light and brilliant eye make-up on and used for her lips a wonderful shining lip gloss, then she dressed her up in a green shirt and a clinging jeans, she smoothed her hair, she was simply beautiful, it would be great if Jackson would look at her but everything of him was unknown for her. After few hours she went to Jo's house for the party and when Jo saw her she was amazed by her look, Steph was perfect, Jo and Leah complimented her and Steph answered with a big smile, she was more beautiful when she smiled. When Steph had a look around she realized that Jo lied saying that she would invite few people, there were all the interns, the nurses and the surgeons in her house, Alex was with Jackson and they were talking about the party's organization, all around there was a soft music so she could hear their words, Jackson was particularly beautiful that night, he wore a blue shirt and a jeans, the shirt was like the color of his eyes and she noted it. Jo and Leah called her for a help in the kitchen and she went to help them but they honestly didn't want a help, they wanted to know from her why she looked at Jackson in so intense way, she was in trap, what she should do? She couldn't continue to hide her secret, she would explode, so she said to Jo and Leah that she loved him from the first time she saw him and the he didn't know anything about her feelings but she wasn't ready to tell him everything. When Stephanie was talking, Alex went to them and presented Jackson to them so for the first time they looked into each other eyes, it was a short moment but she believed to stay in Paradise, she lost herself in his eyes and that was an incredible sensation, they were both attracted by each other, after the party he only reminded of her, he forgot the rest.

Chapter three

After the party Stephanie was completely tired but happy that Jackson saw her and that Jo and Leah knew her secret, from that night it wasn't a secret, it was a reality and she could scream the she was in love with Jackson from the moon and back, but could she really do it? The answer wasn't so simple cause a part from Jo and Leah no one knew it, however the positive thing was that Jackson returned her sight and was clearly attracted by her, she couldn't believe her eyes, she was too happy to sleep, her heart was beating madly only because of him, but suddenly she fell asleep. The day after the party she went to work, Leah and Jo waited for her and when they saw her coming, they went to her and started talking about last night, doing references to their sight, Steph blushed and confirmed their expectations about her mad love for him. That day was unforgettable, Jackson went to her and not only remembered her name but proposed her to do her first plastic surgery with him, she was an explosion of happiness and immediately said yes to him, he was impressed by her nature. During the surgery he started a conversation with her and at the first she was scared to answer cause her previous teachers taught her to not talk during surgeries, but Jackson continued to talk so she answered to his questions about her life, her studies and her ambitions, he was happy to know that she considered the plastic among her future specializations, time seemed to stop in that room, every time that their eyes crossed she felt the same shudder, when they finished the surgery he complimented with her for her brilliant service and she blushed again. She was without words when Jo and Leah asked her to say something about her first surgery, they didn't know if her silence was because of him or of the surgery but when she said: "I can't forget a so intense sight, a so soft touch!" they understood that she was referring to him.
