hi all this is my first post ^^ nice to meet you guys and hope i can learn from you.


The lurid rays of the sun descended upon earth, its multilayered rays, invisible to the naked eyes,splashing into the window.Erupting onto the floor, it seemed to dance as if in tune to a silent melody.



There was a stir, and a figure stumbled into view.Reaching for the curtains, he proceeded to draw the only protection he hoped would exist to cure his throbbing temple,a certainity of his excessive alcohol run the night before.Bad choice, he grimly thought. Running his fingers through his unkempt hair, he recalled the ghastly tragedy that took his only salve and light of his life away.He had been in mourning for nearly a decade, as friends and family stepped in to no avail, giving him up to his grief that ensnared him and it was up to him to step out of the darkness ,which was hopeless as far as he was concerned.



It had been 10 years, ten years down the alcohol filled lane that he could remember,the Stade De France, the Effiel Tower and the proposal in downtown Champs Ely'see.Fighting back tears, he recalled how ecstatic he was when she said yes, that he carried her running and screaming back to the hotel nearly thirty miles away.Alas, the fates of the lovebirds weren't meant to be as thier luxury liner back to Singapore encountered an iceberg amidst the ice-laden floes of the Atlantic Ocean, and till this day he'd recall her screaming as she plunged into the icy water,drowning thier dreams and future crashing down to the depths of the chilly ocean .All that was a past.. and although the pain was there, it was subsiding.Maybe there was some credence to the "Time heals" theory.

He stood up from the bed and made his way to the kitchen, tripping over trash that had enveloped his hallway.He peeked into the fridge, only to recoil at the pungent aroma of spoilt food.Cursing, he did a double take and ditched the idea of breakfast momentarily as the calls of nature beckoned.

As he was relieving himself, a shrill ringtone enamented and in his hastiness to retrieve the phone from his pocket,only to see it slip off his sweat laden hand and invited to a party with his golden shower in the toilet bowl.

Fumbling with his jeans, he picked out the now useless object in a futile attempt to rescue it .

"Darn it, this is the fourth time my phone's partied in 'bowl with my golden shower" he mumbled...

Adding fuel to his fire, as if on cue, was his doorbell ringing.He dreaded to meet anyone,shutting out his social life totally with the outside world in a bid to escape the harsh reality that he refused to believe in

Grudgingly,he ambled to the door, determined to chase that infernal person to the depths of hell, if possible.

"What do you want? he growled in a monotone. as he came face to face with a girl starkingly familiar in his lucid state, his eyes barely registering her.He had seen her before but he could not place it where.

"Hi, im Natalie, i just moved in and im throwing a house party and i thought i would invite neighbours to celebrate...

Before she even finished the sentence,the door was slammed shut in her face.

"How rude", she retorted to this discourteous brush-off.She stomped away , her clicky-clack of her stilettos becoming fainter to the guy.

Back at the house, the guy peeked through his doorhole , experiencing a strange mix of glee and animosity.On one hand, she was trying to be kind, and he felt a pang of guilt for treating her like that.Okay, make it a triple mix.

Determined to make it up to her, he cleaned himself up and dashed out of the house, wondering where to look for her.

Finding a needle in a haystack was one thing, but finding a girl who lived in a condo with several blocks constituted a thousand haystacks.

Part 2


It wasnt long before he spotted her shortly, as she huffed down the field, no doubt annoyed by the stranger that had put her welcoming mood to nought.

Putting on a burst of speed, he attempted to catch up with her, but in doing so, failed to notice a rut that had been unevenly indented by the recent rain.
It was not the perfect apology approach he had in mind as he wished the ground would swallow him up as he landed awkwardly, as the crunching sound it made told him the severity of his injury,which pain later provided a second later.

Natalie was still absorbed in her annoyance as she huffed down when she heard a loud crunching noise behind.Turning around, to her surprise, saw the man that had acted rudely earlier clutching his ankle of what seemed to be a twisted ankle.Trying to suppress a giggle, she chided herself almost immediately.Sure he deserved it, but this was no time to laugh as he could have ended up worse.

"Deserve it dont you?" she finally could not stop her giggles from erupting as she tried to help him up"
"That's mighty evil of you, considering i got injured while i was going to apologise earlier"he pouted.
"You should.Anyway i think this needs immediate attention.I got a couple of bandages at home to nurse that ankle "she replied, as she was giggling at how cute he was when he pouted.

"Well okay, i think i can wipe that smile off your face for you," he grinned" i suppose i cant walk to your flat in this condition" he said sarcastically, half wishing he hadn't came out

She groaned as she resigned to fate and bent down to pick him up

"urf.. you're heavy" she grimaced as she supported him on her shoulder...

Pretty lucky you got your flat on the ground floor eh? he smirked, trying not to laugh as she balanced him unsteadily"

Throwing him down on the floor, she retorted"if you're going to joke, farewell then"

He groaned as he fell face down, his ankle connecting with the ground, sending lightning bolts of pain and crying out loud

"oh shi~t.. sorry" she wailed as she broke free of the momentary streak of anger that had captivated her for a second

"i take that back.. you're mighty evil a thousand times magnified.."he whispered through clenched teeth"

Im already sorry!" she huffed as she led him into her house and collapsed on the sofa, before striding to the medical aid box."It may hurt" she warned as she brought out the ointment

"Oh no no .. not that.. he frantically waved as he exuded his most shocked expression which, to Natalie, was too much to bear and she let out another round of giggles.

"What's so funny?" he said, puzzled..

"Nothing!"she blushed.. and jabbed the ankle with the ointment a little too hard as she fought to keep her cheeks from become volcano red.

"OUCH!" Letting out a shriek, he literally jumped ten feet into the air.

"What was that for?" he exploded as he tried not to fall over as he held his swollen ankle, a balancing act that did not go well, and he keeled over at the last moment

Trying not to laugh and being sorry is hard to conceal and all hell broke loose as she doubled over in laughter.
