Stranger love

Tick tick tick

It's raining , my favorite time of the year is winter and exactly when it rains.
It's as if the time starts going slowly, people starts being nicer, and as if all the buildings, the trees, and all of the other surroundings seem more beautiful.

Then there's me, oh you'd think I'll be talking about this romantic weather while drinking a cup of warm green tea laying on my sofa? probably reading a book?

Guess what? I'm not. Maybe I should start by introducing myself. I promise to keep it short.
I'm Sandra, a 23 years old of age, I studied language and translations and graduated early from college luckily for moi, and I found a job right afterwards so I've been living alone ever since.

And now I'm here trying to pack all my belongings as fast as I can because the owner suddenly decided she needs her appartement back. She only gave me one week notice...

Who does that ?
She was a the worst. And I've been thinking about moving out a long time ago.
But, it doesn't matter now. What matters is I've found this great place much closer to my work place.

For the first time in my life I find someone of help in a cretic situation. Bella was her name.
This Bella was discreet as to why she needs to rent her house to me as soon as possible when we only met for the first time, at this coffee shop once .

Going back to the day I met her. I was really pissed at the owner of my current home because she'd just come at any time asking for her rent money or just drop by so suddenly asking to check on the place and see if there's anything missing, and now she wanted me to move out in one week. 

So I was angry and because of that my body  movements were uncoordinated. And Baam!
Long story short I spilled coffee on a girl standing next to me. It was Bella.

She was a nice person and seemed to accept my apologies, so I introduce myself and offered to buy her a fresh cup. Which she accepts.

We chat and She noticed my negative take on life that day so she asked what's bothering me.
I told her about my dilemma. And she offered to help me. She doesn't elaborate as to why she offered to help. In return she asks me to keep this a secret. what ever 'this' meant.

She just asked to never mention meeting her to anyone and that in any way I needed to contact her it'd be through her lawyer Mr.smith.
Weird but I had no choice and I didn't mind either.

I finished the agreement with the lawyer and haven't seen Bella but once after the coffee spilling incident.
Of course her appartement is double the price of my current one, and I know for a fact it was worth a lot more. It was that beautiful. And I loved it.

Ding dong !!
The sound of my doorbell took me out of my trace of thoughts.
This must be the moving company.
"Just on time! " I say to myself jumping from my place to go open the door. My brain started rushing me and thinking of all the things I might have forgotten.

"Good afternoon, just on time... I've finished all the packing"  I say opening the door to a tall guy with a grey uniform.

" We could always help , that's what we get paid for after all... shall we? " he asks.
I smile nodding and I open the door wider for him to enter. And he signaled for the other guys to come in as well.

" ah ! I forgot to ask, do you have any fragile stuff that would need extra care ?"
he asked me while looking at the boxes on the floor.

"Yes, these boxes right here. I've marked them as fragile so you won't have a hard time spotting them. Thank you " I say and leave them to work.
