Author's Note: If you could write your own love story, how would you write it?
Summary: When was the last time you felt strange meeting someone? When was the last time you felt a warm feeling in your heart looking at someone's eye? How will you introduce yourself when all you wanted was to stare and feel the passion between you? What will you do if you are given the chance to know the person who makes you alive? Will you take the chance to explore what will happen next after your meeting that special one or shrug it off?
Meeting someone is not a choice. It is by chance that pushes two people together. Now it's up to them to write what will happen next to their story.
Chapter 1: Meeting You
"Come on, Piper. Get up. The book you are reading will just stay there even if you go out. The weather is good outside and there is Coachella going on." Polly tried to grab my book. Luckily I have faster reflexes than her so she couldn't snatch it from my hand. I giggled seeing Polly's face when she couldn't get me off of my couch. It is a warm but relaxing Saturday here in California so I can't really blame her if she wanted to go outside and have some fun.
"Stop laughing, you lazy one." she said then pouted. She flopped down on the empty space on my couch and crossed her arms.
"Okay, Okay. We will go out but let me finish this book. I only have a few chapters left." I said to her with a smile.
"I will be back around 5 pm so we can have dinner first before going out. Wear something sexy, okay?" she said happily.
"Sure." I answered although I had already started reading again.
"Make sure you are ready when I come to get you. I will bring Pete so we will have a bodyguard in there." she said giggling.
"No problem." I answered.
"Bye, Piper." she skipped happily outside my apartment.
"Bye, Polly." I answered as I immersed myself in my book.
"Vause, the sun is shining and your nose is all over your documents. It is a nice weekend to chill and look for beautiful ladies roaming the world." Nicky said jokingly.
"Uhmmm..." I answered while trying to understand the content of the documents I'm reading. I can't concentrate with Nicky's voice in my ear.
"You need a life, Vause. You can't even answer me properly." Nicky said. I groaned inwardly when I realized what she meant.
"Coachella is happening at a park near here. We should make the most of our time before we go back to New York."Nicky added. My head shot up when I heard the word Coachella. It's been a while since I had been to one and coming to Coachella is always one hell of experience for me.
"I can see in your eyes that you want to come, so I will pick up around 4 pm so we can stay longer." she said then started to walk.
"Where are you going?" I asked her abruptly when I see that she is leaving my hotel room. It is easier for us to stay in the hotel than at my house. My meetings with my new business partner are located here.
"Sight seeing." she said then winked.
"You mean, girl watching." I said snorting.
"If you put it that way." she answered giggling. I rolled up my eyes.
"Why am I stuck with you?" I said desperately.
"For one I'm your best bud and second off I'm also one of your business partners." she answered. "See you around, Vause." she waved and went outside. I sighed and went back with the documents I needed to review and sign.
I looked intensely at my walk in closet to survey what I would wear for the evening. I had finished the book and took a short nap to ready myself. Polly and Pete could party all night so I need to keep up with them. I chose to wear a blue sleeveless blouse and nice black shorts to go with my sneakers. I would love to wear a pair of stilettos but I need to be comfortable if I'm going to be standing all night long. I brushed my hair down to finish my look after applying a little make up. I still have a few minutes to spare so I walked to my living room to study the titles on my bookshelf. I reached for one of my favorite book, And Playing the Role Herself by K.E. Lane. It is a short novel about two actresses who fall in love with each other. I'm not really into romance but her writing style is very enchanting and the story is very good that's why I'm so drawn to it. I can't really identify myself as a lesbian but I like hot girls but I also like hot boys. I know I'm shallow but what can I do, that is how I am. I'm not really in a relationship right now but I have been on some casual dates. I was halfway through the book when my buzzer rings and I hear my door opening. Polly knows the password to my door in case of emergency and I'm too lazy to open the door for her because she is always here.
"Are you ready?" Polly asked excitedly. She was wearing a sleeveless black dress and not too high heels.
"You are really an effortless gorgeous being, Piper." Pete said then whistle. I chuckled from his compliment.
"Why thank you, Pete. Now I can give you my blessing in marrying my best friend." I said then placed the book back to the shelf.
"Well if you are finish sucking up to my best friend, Pete, I think we should get going." Polly said giggling. She held out her hand and connected our arms. We rode in Pete's car.
"You are not allowed to get drunk, Pete." I said warningly.
"Not fair, mother!" he yelled laughing. We chatted some more while going to Coachella. I hope it will be a worthwhile time for me.
After napping for a short while, I took a shower to fully wake myself up. I needed that nap badly. Not only to have some rest but also to keep up with Nicky's party energy. The hot water cascading my body was so relieving I closed my eyes for minutes. After taking a satisfying shower, I rummage through my closet to look for comfortable clothes. I grabbed the white V-neck shirt, a leather jacket and faded jeans. I straightened my hair long then applied a little make-up. After looking in the mirror to make sure that my outfit is okay, I walk to the lobby of the hotel to meet up with Nicky.
"Still gorgeous in shirt and jeans." Nicky said. "So I think we are ready to rock California, babe." she added excitedly. She rented a limousine to drive us around.
"When are you going to buy a house here?" I asked while she opened a bottle of champagne for us.
"Probably when our business settled a branch here. It is nice to live in a hotel but I want to have a house here." she said while sipping the champagne.
"I can refer you to one of my agents." I said accepting another round of champagne from her.
"Oh Vause! Still doing business I see. I will wait for her call tomorrow. I want to start looking at the houses as soon as possible." she said with a chuckle.
"Her?" I asked with a puzzled expression.
"Well I didn't expect you to give me a male agent to tour me around the city to find a house. It will be boring and besides I will not buy a house if you give me a male agent." she said jokingly. I laughed hard when I realized why she wanted a female agent. I grabbed my phone and called my secretary.
"Please look for the most gorgeous female agent we have here in New York. Ms. Nichols would like to buy a house here." I said professionally to her. I could see her hands clapping in glee. "But make sure she is a black belt in martial arts or knows how to shoot a gun." I said grinning to her.
"What the fuck!" Nicky shouted in the car. I chuckled silently in my seat.
We arrived at Coachella with the sun still up but not too hot in our skin. We could already hear the music banging in our ears and no words can describe the excitement we feel. We walked immediately to where the music is coming from and see a large crowd already swaying their bodies with the music.
"This is going to be fun!" Polly shouted in excitement. "Come on let's dance!" she grabbed my hand and pulled us to the middle. I felt the music creeping to my skin and making me sway my body. After a few minutes of shyness, I let myself lose in the music and let my body dance with it. Suddenly I felt someone watching my every move, I looked around to see who was looking at me and I was taken aback when I met a pair of green eyes that belong to a gorgeous woman. She is casually dress but still the curves of her body could be seen. She was taller than the woman she was dancing with and I could see that she had fair skin. Her eyes was hypnotizing and piercing at the same time. She licked her lips when I dipped my hips low to the right. I bite my lips to stop myself from moaning.
"I think I need to get a drink." I shouted to Polly then started walking away, when I saw that the mysterious woman not looking at me anymore. I went to the nearest stand and ordered a strong drink to quench my thirst. After composing myself again, I walked back to the dancing crowd. In the middle of the path, I saw the mysterious woman walking towards me. I stopped walking when I felt my knees go weak from her staring at me. She was looking at me as if she wanted to devour me. Then when we are a few inches away from each other, I looked up to her to see her starring still.
"I'm right, she is taller than me" I said to myself.
I could feel her hot breath on my face as we got closer. All this adding to the thirst I'm feeling. I could smell her scent which is very addicting and her eyes that are so intensely looking at me. Her eyes that are hypnotizing me. As if on cue we both reach for each other and our lips collided fiercely. It was not a sloppy kiss but we fight for dominance. Our tongues slide into each other's mouth. We explored each other mouths, making my head exploded with every taste I could get from her. She tasted sweet with a bit of bitterness. I guess she drank champagne. I moaned loudly when she pulled me closer to her. Our clothed bodies touching each other. I could feel my lungs needing oxygen but I don't want to stop. Eventually we gasped for air. A small circle was now formed around us. Someone was whistling like a maniac and the others are chanting for another kiss. But all I could hear is my heart thumping.
Oh my god! I kissed a stranger!
But before I could react someone grabbed me and pulled me out of the crowd and I saw someone talked to her. I blushingly hide my face in my palm.
A/N: A few years ago, I wrote a story for another writing site with the same title and summary but I had only written a prologue for it. For some unknown reason I cannot continue writing it. I guess I just don't have the right inspiration with me during those times but after sometime I realized I want to continue it but I want it to be in this site and finally I have my muse back.
