Happy Valentine's Day! I cannot believe it is here already at the time of writing this, but here it is, the next chapter I have promised you all, but like the first one, it's in two-parts. Enjoy!
James & Emily - The Splendid Couple
A raven-haired girl wearing an emerald green sweater underneath a white shirt, chocolate brown trousers and emerald green flats made her way to class. She had arrived on time punctually just five minutes before class.
"Miss Stirling, so good to see you."
"Thanks," smiled the young woman. She took her desk and sat down. After a brief talk with the teacher, she and the others son got to work. The young woman had taken out a picture of some swimwear she was working on. It was a caricature of herself holding hands with a handsome man that remained headless as she had no idea who would fit the role.
Later on, she was out on lunch. As she walked along, she almost dropped her case containing her work. It was at this point a strapping young man about her age with blonde hair and average build dressed in a red polo shirt, blue flared jeans and black sneakers helped her.
"Oh, hey!" the woman said.
"Hey to you, too," replied the handsome young man, "You're quite an artist."
The blushing woman was flattered by this compliment. "Thanks, but I'm more of a fashion designer."
"Fashion designer?" asked the man.
"Well, I'm kind of aspiring to be one," the woman replied.
"Oh, I see, I kinda have a taste in clothes myself, too," said the man,"By the way, I'm James."
"And I'm Emily," smiled the young lady.
They both chatted and had lunch together. They were discussing about certain tastes they had - films, music, books, art, anything.
"I like you," whispered James.
"I like you, too," whispered Emily.
Later that day,as Emily returned from lunch, she had that drawing out and then she drew the man's face exactly from memory. She had only met James and was dying to get to know more about him as he would about her.
It looks like Emily has met James, but what does he do for a living? What is he like and what else would they have in common? Watch this space and find out!
