I took a little bathroom break while he loaded my bags into the car.
He said that I wouldn't be of any help since they were too heavy for me and he
didn't want me getting hurt.

I went as fast as I could,not wanting to make him wait.I wanted to get home
and didn't want to waste any time.

Even though it was summer here as well,the weather betrayed the season.It was
inexplicably cold,unusual for the summer.I was only outside for a brief moment but
I still felt the cold wind brush my face.I personally wasn't prepared,for my attire was
very light and wasn't designed for such weather.

"It's cold outside" he noted as he slowly began to drive out

"Yes"

"Mother Nature can be strange at times" he smiled
The traffic was lighter when we managed to get out of the airport.
More cars were going in then coming out which worked perfectly for our advantage.
We were both quiet as he swiftly made his way past the rest of the vehicles.For
a while everything was quiet.

"Do you mind living in darkness?" he finally spoke shattering the silence

It was a rather peculiar questions to ask and I had no real response for it
"Excuse me?"

He smiled "I don't think I got my point across the way I wanted.You see
I don't favor the light from light bulbs,they bother me.I use candles instead.I just
wanted to know if you had any objections" he made a stop at a red light and took
the time to accommodate one of his rings.

"I know you're going to be needing the light to study so you have one in your
room,I am just warning about the rest of the house"

"It's ok,as long as I have one in my room,I don't mind" I found his confession
rather odd.What kind of person doesn't like electricity?

I tried imagining myself living in a house with only candles.No light bulbs just
candles.I couldn't see myself adapting.It would be a challenge to adapt,but I
would find a way to do it.

Why would he favor candles over electric light? I wanted to ask but
I didn't dare.I decided not to ponder,and maybe later on when we were more open
towards each other,I would find out

The long drive continued as it was before,in silence.He asked some questions
but none led to any conversations.

"What do you plan to study here?"

"Hospitality and management"

"Why did you decide to study abroad?"

"I didn't.My mom chose to send me here" I didn't mean to sound impolite or ill
tempered but I could not conceal the hatred I had for her decision.I wanted her
to be proud that I left not grateful that I would be getting out of her life.

He didn't seem to be affected by my answer for he kept driving as if nothing had
happened.I didn't find the courage to apologize for what I thought was rude behavior
from my part,but he look as if he didn't need one.I was just ashamed to sound
ungrateful.

After some time I decided to let it go and pay attention to the beautiful city.We
passed many streets with marvelous buildings and magniloquent parks.Even so late
at night people rushed to get to their destination,whether they were in cars,buses
or walking by foot.The scenery was very similar to that of down town New York.

We finally managed to arrive at what was my new home.It was very pleasant to
look at and I was pleased that the neighborhood seemed to be calm and quiet.The
house was two stories tall,looking more like a vacation home near a lake than a real
house.It seemed to be made out rocks carefully aligned next to each other.The
windows were very expensive looking,carefully designed to match the flower vine
that was in printed in gold on the small window on the wooden door.The front gate
also seemed to have that same designed but in silver.Two guards stood at each side
of the gates.

He signaled for them to go to the trunk and then got out himself "Wait here"

I nodded and waited patiently inside.The front yard of the house consisted of
a narrow walkway that led to the front door.On the left side it was empty,save for
some grass and a bush full of red roses.Some of them were dead,others were in the
process,and some were at full bloom.On the right side of the garden,another bush
of roses decorated it along with a marbled bench.

He tapped on my window and mouthed for me to come out.I picked up the small
gift bag along with my other bag and stepped out.Again I was cold,but not for a very
long time.He draped his jacket over me and did the same with his arm.He pulled me
closer and like that we walked up to the entrance.The wind collided with my body,
but it was no longer cold.It was hot like any other summer day.Or atleast to me it seemed that way.

The room where I was to be sleeping in was the first one after going up the stairs.

"This is all yours"he told me "You can move it around,throw it away,do anything but
change the color of the walls.It goes with the rest of the house"

I nodded.The color really didn't bother me,I actually liked the dark green color.
The room was like any other room.It had a bed,a vanity table,a t.v,bookshelf,and a
closet.It also had a window that was covered by some dark brown curtains,and to
the right it had a long elegant bench with delicate material draped over it.

"I think you need to rest so I will be leaving.My room is the at the end of the
hall,the door to the left.The door to the right is the bathroom.Goodnight"

"Goodnight"

It was late,but I wasn't tired.I wanted to unpack and get it done with so that
tomorrow I could focus on more important things.Like shopping for school supplies.
I hanged things,folded others and aligned others up.I neatly placed everything
where it belonged and then changed in to my pijamas.A blue shirt and loose blue
pants with clouds.

His jacket layed neatly on the bench.He hadn't taken it before he left and so
I neatly layed it on the bench while I organized my belongings.As I stood infront
of the mirror I debated whether to take to him at the moment or wait for him to
pick it up in the morning.I knew he was awake,I heard him go downstairs and come
back up while I was changing.Still I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.

After several minutes of hard thinking,I decided to take it.What was the harm?
Just drop it off and come back.Telling myself that I went to the end of the hall and
nocked softly on his door.

"Amira" he smiled "What brings you here?"

I gulped and bit my bottom lip trying hard to think of an answer,but failed at my
attempt.It was hard to concentrate on words when the mad infront of me was
wearing nothing but sweatpants,showing a seemingly perfect body.His body was
beyond amazing and even though I did my best to hide how nervous I was,
I don't think I did the best job.

He smiled once more,the hypnotizing smile of his "Oh my jacket"

"Yeah,I forgot to give it to you.Thank you for lending it to me"I finally managed
to respond.

"You're very welcome" he slowly took the jacket from my hand

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight" with that said and done,I rapidly made my way back to my room.
He invaded my mind for the rest of the nigh.The image of his perfect body played
over and over in my head like a broken record.I listened to music,watched some
t.v,but nothing.I couldn't concentrate on any word or any image that wasn't his.
It was amazing.Something that had never happened to me.This was only the
first night,what could happen in a year???
