| Sebastian Taylor & Whitney Connor |
She was about to do something that she never thought she
would be able to manifest as her own dreams of being a doctor fell a part. The
hospital she was working for as a receptionist offered a scholarship to do her
studies.
The life she had dreamt off was coming to pass. Inside her
mind she couldn’t believe that she doubted herself, but it was one person with
green sparkling eyes with a jar that any women would drop to the floor. He was
the hero in her life, her prince charming the only man she has lost herself and
also her innocence and everything connected to him. She fell in love with a
rich boy from a well rounded family that lived in Upper-
State New York and she was the
blonde blue- eyed girl from the down tracks of Louisiana.
A southern with the extract of her voice that sung melodies
through his ears. Sebastian was a 25 year old entrepreneur having the company
of any women he ever wanted or craved for, but it was a young lady that worked
at the hospital his father was head of the board that made him rethink
everything he never thought he wanted.
Whitney thought that she wasn’t good enough for him seeing
as there was a lot of differences between the two of them. There two year
relationship ended abruptly when he asked her to choose between her career as
a doctor and going away to Paris
to live with him. He was a jet-setter and she was a middle class worker who had
to take care of her elderly parents and two siblings.
She always wondered what had happened to him, but it was
like he vanished into thin air and never to be heard off.
So here it was three years later and she is finally
attending her first class at the University
of New York. The
introduction went by swiftly as students settled in as the professor starts to
write his lecture.
I felt a tap on the left shoulder and as my head swerves
more to face the person tapping my shoulder, at first I didn’t want to look
behind me. Just to make small conversation with whoever it is, then the other
thought was be kind.
As my head face the person, my eyes were like it was going
to pop out. Is this real or is it just an a lucid dream that I have been
thinking a hell lot more often about that smouldering green eyes that I could
stare enough at when they were in my life .
I scrunch my face and the smile on the participant couldn’t
have been happier to see me after such a long period.
“I see that you are still the most intense woman as always.
Fancy finding you here.” With a smile on his face and getting that fresh minty
sensation as he breathes out some air. I couldn’t but almost fell over my chair
as he stopped me just in time.
“Sebastian.” I say so softly.
“Finally she remembers my name.” He said it so sweet, I
couldn’t even get embarrassed by the people sitting close around us and
listening in to our conversation.
“Do you remember mine?”
“Off course, sunshine, there is just something about you
over the years I couldn’t forget.” Instantly I didn’t feel like being in this
class, I wanted to speak to him more. Also why and how did he know I was in
this class? I was lost in my thoughts and didn’t hear him call my name.
When I heard the professor calling names out and I whip to
the front as Professor Santiago nodded to get a response out of me.
“I don’t like being disturbed in my lecturers Miss Connor.
If you need to be excused you can do so and just ask one of the students for
today’s notes. I am sure right now Mr Taylor has other things plan for him
sitting in on one of my lectures, right Mr Taylor.” Santiago was becoming to be my favourite
lecture no doubt.
“You right about that.” He got up from his chair and walked
to the aisle and came to stand next to my desk and showing me his outstretched
hand to take.
“Come.” He said and without hesitating I packed my books and
shoved them inside my messenger bag. I got up from the chair and took his hand
as we both walked up the stairs to the exit.
I couldn’t believe he was here. He took my bag and threw it
over his shoulder letting it hang half way across his broad shoulder.
We walked outside into the parking lot as he showed me his
car was parked right in front of the reserve parking bays. Still I wasn’t sure
how and what he’s really doing here.
How did he find me? There was no trail seeing as I have
moved here only recently.
Questions were whirling inside my head that I needed to be
answered.
“You don’t have to look so concern, Whit.” He called me on
my nickname the one I haven’t allowed other men to use. It was already taken
and copyrighted by thee Sebastian Taylor.
“I am not. This just seems out of left field don’t you
think. How did you know where I was? Have you been stalking me.” I said with a smile and a sarcastic
laugh afterwards.
“Hmm maybe who knows.” He said being all mysterious as he
starts up the car and pulled out the parking lot and toward the main road.
I wasn’t afraid or anything just tense a bit that I am here
with him driving towards who knows where.
“I hope you don’t mind me taking you to an early lunch.”
“Nah its okay.” I said.
“Whitney it’s me, Sebastian why you sound shy.” He says
looking at me then back on the road. As I turn to face him I could see the grin
on his face.
“You like doing this to women don’t you.” I said in a voice
that sounded unfamiliar to me.
“Well not just any woman.” He said in a cocky voice and that
was the thing I fell for the first time. The way he was with me arrogant and in
control of everything never allowing him to be submissive to women, but
indulging them to a certain degree. I was that naive southern girl at the
tender age of 20 when I first laid eyes on him. His masculinity was
overpowering my senses and like a little teenager I wanted him to take me, to
have me in any way possible.
Then it all fell apart the days after he left was like a
piece of me was death. I couldn’t move on I couldn’t stop from thinking what if
only I have said yes. Then I thought, but why couldn’t he wait for me, why was
it either or. He crushed me and it took me two years after him to finally start
dating again. I met Liam Houston a brunette with dark features in way he
reminded me of Sebastian, but there was never that connection in our love
making, it was like I was disconnected from him in an intimate way.
Liam left with these words, “I don’t know for how much
longer I can live in the shadows of your one true love, and I know it’s not me
it would never be me. It would always be him and I can’t live with the idea of
sharing your heart with another man.” With that he walked out of my life. I
have seen him a few times and that was it.
“We here.” He said as the car jerked and came to a full
stop. He got out the car and walked around to open my door.
I got out.
He left my bag in his car as he locks up and holds my hand.
As we walk towards the restaurant. He spoke to the
receptionist and she called another waiter to show us to our table. He didn’t
leave my hand once. Just when he took out the chair for me and went to sit on
the other side. Asking the waiter to give us some time to have a look at the
menu.
“Isn’t it lovely.” He says.
I took a sip of the water from my glass.
“Yeah I’d say.” He smiles.
“What?”
“You are more beautiful than what I remember.” He said.
The waiter took our order as he left I start to ask him what
I needed to know.
“Sebastian I need to know how.” I sat up with my arms crossed over my chest.
“Hmm, it started with the scholarship. You were working for
the hospital my dad is the head of the board. I have seen your name in between
the application forms on my desk and well the rest is history.” That wasn’t
what I wanted to hear.
“So the reason I received the scholarship because the guy I
once screwed came across my name and I happened to get accepted.” Anger burst
throughout me.
“Whitney I wouldn’t do such a thing. I have always known you
wanted to be a doctor and if you wanted to know the other applicants wasn’t up
the standard my father and myself were looking for. We weren’t going spend
thousands of dollars on a freshly graduated student from a high school who
doesn’t have the relevant back ground and highly skilled marks we were looking
for. Yes I chose you, but not because I once screwed you like you are
proclaiming. I am a businessman and I don’t do business decisions with my
dick.” We were attracting a lot of eyes
on us as we were going off in a loud tone.
The waiter came back as he told us to lower our voices are
else leave.
Then Sebastian took the initiative to be the arrogant ass he
can be at times.
“You don’t threaten me in my own restaurant.” He told the
guy and the manager came to our table apologizing for the incompetence of his
waiter.
They both walked away. I stared at him and I was about to
get up from my chair. When he grabbed my wrist from the other side of the
table. Sebastian was someone you can never leave alone in a restaurant, he has
this notion that nobody walks out of him ever and that goes for everyone.
“Is this how you treat everyone that works for you.” I said.
I was starting to regret coming along to this rendezvous with him. As much as I
have been thinking about him for sometime, this isn’t what I was looking forward
too.
“Just give me a hearing that is all. I will leave you alone
after that. I will go away and never bother you ever.” He said with a tone that
sounded sincere.
I sat back in my chair and waiting on him to continue.
“I am sorry, Whit. It’s just I have been wanting to see you
for such a long time. I came to NYU this morning not because I wanted to sit in
on one of your classes. I was there for a meeting and walked right pass
Professor Santiago's class . I opened the door
and heard your name being called and I searched for you as I scan every head
until your hand whipped up and that blonde long hair of yours that was always
bouncy I knew I had to see you. I don’t know how I got the courage to enter and
come sit right behind you. It was like I didn’t care about the last time we
have seen each other and how we ended. It was about me wanting to see you even
if it was just for awhile.” He carried on explaining and I was hanging onto
every word. Our lunch came and we ended up talking some more. We didn’t think
about where we had to be next it was like this was the only place we wanted and
needed to be.
He held my hand it was charismatic the way the event
happened how we still had that bond, the way we can talk about just anything. I
think this is the start of a new beginning.
“Whitney don’t ever leave me again please.”
“I’ll try.” I said.
“I love you. I never stopped.”
“I love you to Sebastian Taylor.”
“You too Whitney Connor.”
