Chapter 1

Back in the streets of New York lived a

small family in a ...

And candles . The inside was full of

bright smiles and warm happiness.

Jenifer Darcy was celebrating her 17

birthday that day. From going to the

same routine every year to ending the

day with a surprise her family made for

her. It was her main present and what

she was expecting and waiting for the

most on her birthday.

She put up a dress , light blue that's

getting darker by its edge, and she put

her favourite ring on her left hand.

Her eyes were excited and she took a

good look of herself in the mirror.

Brown eyes like chocolate was looking

at her playfully, a smile tilted to her

cheeks and she smiled with her teeth to

herself.

Her gaze stuttered to her right and

through the window, a pair of blue eyes

were looking at her from a far.

Vimal Lakes.

The guy next door. The hot guy next

door to be precise, but he wasn't really

her type. Too pretty.

She went close to the window and

opened it up. He smiled and did the

same at his room .

" Hope you a happy day , my dear" he

leaned down and I gave him a quick

smile .

" Well thanks" she told him and added

before getting out of the room, " And

Vimal".

His eyes sparkled when she said his

name and he said excitedly " Yes?"

" Last time you call me dear" , she said

firmly . " Got it? "

His smile grow wider " But you are my

dear to me , so I don't think its the last

time . sorry" He winked at me and I got

out of the room as soon as he did.

Going downstairs with light steps she

brushed her long hair back " Guess

who's up " she said as soon as she

entered the living room .

" Hey, that my girl" her dad turned

around and lifted her up to a hug.

While kissing the top of her head she

close her eyes and her lips turned to a

wide smile.

" hehe, I can't believe I'm actually 17 "

she sighed while laughing.

He smiled at her and went to the table

" Yep , not a fantasy anyone " .

She sat next to him " You cannot say

that . This number is perfect in every

possibly way" .

He laughed. " No way , you got the

wrong number you meant to say.."

She rolled her eyes " three .. and no, i

wasn't it just your little fantasy" she

smiled .

My dad's phone rang and he picked it

up . " Hey , what's up"

I ate my snacks while I got up " I'll get

going " and I started to the door but my

dad stopped me.

" No , no wait " , I sat down again and

looked at him.

" Hold on for a sec" he said to the phone,

" I have a surprise for you " that was

meant for me .

" You are not going to believe it but , hold

tight , close your eyes "

I did as he said while an exited smile

was spreading all over my face.

"Wait a second , I'll be right there" he

whispered, not to me I suppose.

I heard his footsteps and the door

opening.

" Get in , thanks for coming so early" ,he

said while laughing.

A laugh of a voice I didn't recognize

came out to the air " I didn't really had a

choice, you know what my mon is like" .

"yeah , sorry about that. come inside , I

want you to meet each other " more

footsteps coming closer and closer.

I turned around " Can I open my eyes?"

" No reason not to" , the new voice said

and I opened my eyes .Infront of me

was sitting a guy who was looking so

good.

My dad sat next to me and squeezed my

shoulders " This is Balu . say hi"

I smiled to him " Hey , Your cup is

pretty" .

He was wearing a dark green cup on his

head while his brown hair was tapped

inside it.

" Thanks " he looked at me with deep

eyes " you've got good taste. And ehhm,

happy birthday".

" Thank you".

My dad grabbed my hand and putted it

on Balu's . His hand was a bit cold..

" Dad, what are you doing"

" He is your surprise, Jenny. You're

engaged to him from today on"

The blood in my veins stopped moving.

" sorry, What?"
