Hey people, thank you for review and/or Follow my story.
The last chapter was an intro, which is why it was so short. This is a bit longer than the last one. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1
It was July 13, 2010.
It was sunny morning in Tokyo and I was taking my daily morning run. I run at this very large, almost private park.
On this particular day, I was late for my run, in which resulted on meeting her. The night before I had gotten to bed late, because of a scene I was shooting and over slept that morning. When I got to the park I notice someone was running already, which took me by surprise since I didn't think anyone else knew about this place. It was always so lonely and quiet.
I got out of my car and stretched for 30 minutes, to get my body ready for running and while I stretched I watched her run. At first it was to see how she would react upon seeing me, because if she was a crazed fan I would have to leave but she only took a look at me and didn't even look back when she passed me.
I remember she had her black hair in a high pony tail that swung from side to side as she ran and how her brown eyes weren't really focus, it was like she was thinking of something else, like she almost didn't know that she was running. I also remembered her pale skin almost red from the burning sun of summer, which told me it wasn't the first time she had been there. I concluded that she came right after I finished my run.
I plugged in my earphones and began to jog. A couple of minutes passed and I began to run, faster by the minutes and the more I ran the more my mind began to wonder.
I started thinking about my movies, about my next big break, about my ex girl friend, about my parents when suddenly I crashed.
Before I knew it, I was nearly laying in the concrete, confuse and panting. In front of me was her, panting as well as wincing. I quickly yanked my earphone away and sat up.
"I am so sorry. My mind was somewhere else and I didn't see you" I said.
"Same here" She said shaking her head. She took a deep breath and ran her hand through her onyx black hair.
"Are you alright?" I asked, as I stood up.
"Yeah. It's not like I haven't fallen before" She said along with a rolled of her eyes. The corner of her lip slightly quivering threatening a smile.
"Here let me help you" I said holding back a laugh. I extended my hand and she took it. I felt something when she grabbed my hand, like a spark and I'm not one of those guys who use to believe in that kind of stuff but it's what I felt and she felt it too because as soon as our hands made contact she looked at me, into my eyes and we stared at each other, asking ourselves what had happened and wondering if the other had felt it too but we said nothing, instead she looked down and I continue to helping her up.
As soon she got on her feet, she fell on to me, groaning in pain. "Shit" She cursed.
"What?! What is it?" I asked, ignoring the sweet smell of lavender coming from her hair.
"I think I twisted my ankle" She said looking down at her feet, her hands were pressed against my chest helping herself balance. "Again" She said mostly to herself.
She put her feet back on the ground to quickly jumping in pain. "Just my luck!" She said angrily.
"Look I got a great doctor on call, he will help you" I said.
"Oh that's no worries I…" but I didn't let her finish. I picked her up and carried her to my car as she yelled to put her down.
"This is my fault" I said. "I'll help you" I said as I sat her in the passenger seat.
"Isn't it easier if you just take me to a hospital?" She asked, as she followed me with her eyes as I walked to the driver's side. "I can't" I said closing the door.
I jumped into my car and drove back to my house, I don't know what was I thinking, I just went with my instincts and drove her there. When we got to my house, I laid her in the couch and quickly called my doctor, which he said he would be over as soon as he could.
"Put some ice and wait until I get there to check on it" He ordered.
I jogged to the kitchen and made a ice bag and walked into the room just to notice my very possible grand error. I had a girl, who I didn't know on my home, the only place almost anyone knew about, and now this girl knew where I lived, she could stalk me.
I stood at the doorway, between my kitchen and my living room, watching her exanimate the awards I had won. Suddenly her head snapped towards me and she smiled softly and it was then I felt at ease.
"Nice awards" She said teasingly making my cheeks slightly burn up. Never had I been shy about what I did or what I had been praised about but when she gave me that teasing smile, I felt shy.
"Thanks" I managed to say after a couple of minutes, causing her to giggle slightly. She limped towards the sofa and sat herself down. "I brought you some ice" I said holding up the now dripping bag of ice.
"Thanks" She said, grinning. I sat next to her and gave her the bag. I helped her place her now swollen feet on my dark brown oak coffee table and she proceeded on placing the bag on her ankle. "That's better" She said slightly flinching. "You know I could've done this myself" She smiled. "It's not my first twisted ankle. There was no need to kidnap me" She chuckled.
"Sorry, I just act before I can think" I chuckled as well. "Didn't mean to kidnap you" I joked.
"It's fine" She giggled. "I figure you weren't that bad of a guy"
We stared at each other, un sure of what to say next, after all we were stranger. "So you're an actor?" She asked.
We both glanced at the awards and then she looked at me. "Yeah" I answered.
She stared at me, squinting her eyes slightly. "I think I've seen you somewhere" She said. "Oh I know! You're that Vampire guy!"
"Yeah" I said chuckling slightly.
"Oh I knew it" She exclaimed. "Yeah you're the one is always afraid!"
My eyes suddenly winded. That was not me, that was my coworker. "What? No!" I shook my head making her laugh loudly.
I decided I liked her laugh.
"I know" She laughed. "I was kidding. I just wanted to break the ice a little bit"
"Task completed" I said.
We smiled at each other, and just like that, it felt like we knew each other since forever. It was different, warm, welcoming and comfortable.
I blink a couple of times to find myself back in the red chair, being stared by the viewers.
"So it was like love at first sight?" Yuki asked, gaining my attention.
I chuckled slightly before nodding. "Yeah, I guess it was"
The audience awwed and I chuckled once again. "So tell me, what happened after that?" She asked.
"Well we talked what seemed for hours until my friend, the doctor I had called, came" I said. "He wrapped her ankle and then I asked him to drop her off at her apartment"
"I see" She said fidgeting the card in her hands. "Why didn't you take her?"
"I don't know" I laughed. "It didn't even cross my mind but believe me , I was cursing myself for not doing so after she left"
The crowd laughed along with Yuki. "See people, people like Naruto Uzumaki believe in love at first sight" She said looking into the camera with a natural wide smile. "We'll go to commercials and when we come back we'll find out how did he see her again and how did at all become to what it is today. So don't change that channel because we'll be right back"
