Chapter 1

The useless sun seems to be laying its course on me because it was Damm hurting my skin...... not to mention the loud noise of the alarm clock that kept on ringing nonstop.

'Ah!'. I yelled out in pain while throwing my pillow towards the alarm clock.

The clock seems to be lucky today because the pillow didn't touch it, which made it continue ringing.

'Lord God! who did I offend?'. Jennifer asked as she sluggishly got up from the bed.

My name is Jennifer from a respected poor family who helps her lovely mother every day in the market. Each time I go to the market, something terrible happens that I keep asking myself if I'm the cause of all this because whenever I'm not here everything seems to be alright.

Today is another market day, and all I can wish for is that things should go well as I have always planned.

I walked up towards the bathroom and immediately stripped naked with my eyes closed because I still felt sleepy.

Since I came from a poor family........ I didn't fancy the things of the rich, which include a bathtub.

To me, bathtubs are meant for the rich, and that's why I don't fancy it because it doesn't have any difference from a shower.

I turn on the shower and allow my long black hair to become soaked with water. Watching my hair and body with the clean water coming out of the shower, I smiled at how refreshing it was before grabbing my black towel.

The reason I didn't use a bathing soap is that recently I have been too broke to afford the cheapest soap in town, or should I say I was just too busy to think about buying a soap.

I walk up to my bed, which has a lot of clothes on it, which includes both the neat and dirty ones.

Grabbing a white paint, and a pink bra........ I quickly wore them on my body, without cleaning my wet body because my phone was already vibrating, and the only person who could call me early in the morning was my mom.

'Guess I'm gonna be dead now'. I muttered to myself while running out of my room.

'OMG! I forgot to wear my dress'. Jennifer exclaimed while running back to her room.

She grabs a pair of dark blue jeans and wears them as quickly as possible, before grabbing her only shirt .......which is a black shirt.

Jennifer doesn't have any other shirt except for this black shirt which she bought last three years with her savings for that year.

At that time, she had to save one dollar every week, until it got up to four dollars.

Staring at her pink ugly slippers, she smiles at herself before running out of the house........ while heading to the market where her Mom sells vegetables and fruits.

Heading to the market, she started praying inwardly.......... because she doesn't want to be accused of being a cursed child because things most times........ don't go well with her.

I was on my way to the market to help my mum in her shade when I saw this tall slim handsome man. I stared at him continually and he had a light tattoo all over his neck. His appearance alone made me fall in love with him at first sight but he didn't even look at me or even know that someone was staring at him.

The guy is Damn handsome, with black wavy hair that looks soft like that of a baby. 'His hair texture looks like that of mine' I said to myself blushing, but then my evil inner voice scolded me, causing me to shake my head sideways.

'Don't be a crazy young lady........ there's no way his hair looks like yours'. My inner voice said, causing a frown to appear on my face.

The guy tattoo is painted on his neck and seems to be the drawing of an anime girl. His black hair was calling my attention, not to mention that each time he opened his mouth to utter something to the market woman who was attending to him, it made me feel my heart jumping out of its cage.

The guy's leg is long and sexy, and he looks like the guy of my dreams. 'Today! My dream is finally going to come true. I said to myself while walking closer to the guy.

I paused for a while and arranged my shirt and used my fingers to comb my hair, before proceeding further. I licked my lips with my saliva and was about to call out to the guy when he suddenly turned around and bumped into me.

He was holding a juice can, when he turned around and bumped into Jennifer, which caused the juice can to turn upside down, as it poured into Jennifer's body.

"Ohh my gosh! I'm so sorry........I didn't mean to splash it on you". The guy said with a base, yet breathtaking voice.

"Hmm...... you don't need to be so.... sorry!". Jennifer answered while stammering.

"Wait! I'll pay for the mess I created on your dress". He said while placing his hands on his pocket, like if he wanted to bring a napkin...... but Jennifer quickly stopped him from proceeding further.

"Hmm..... don't worry about me..... umm... just worry about yourself". Jennifer said as she smiled while exposing her teeth in full display. "You can have this....... use it to clean your face...... it... hmm... it looks wet". Jennifer added while blushing as she stared at the man's brown sexy eyes.

She was behaving very weird, so the handsome young man refused to collect the napkin and shove it back to Jennifer.

"Thanks but no! you can have the napkin to yourself, I'm cool with my wet face". The man said while walking away.

"Haha! please have the napkin....... your face is wet". Jennifer replied while maintaining the smile on her face.

"No, you don't have to be such a formal young lady. Besides I'm the one who mistakenly pours the juice on your body..... so sorry". The guy said.

"No way! it's either you take the napkin from my hands, or you can kindly give me your number as a means of compensation". Jennifer said while smiling exposing her teeth.

The handsome Mister standing in front of her shakes his head sideways as he walks away from her.

Without staring back, he made a loud declaration which made Jennifer pray for the ground to open wide and swallow her immediately.

"Sorry Miss! but I don't do girls like you....... and just to be sincere.......I do think you should try to talk to people who are your class". The guy said while walking away.

Jennifer couldn't see his current expression, but all she could see was the guy's sexy back.......which made her forget for a minute that the guy insulted her not a while ago.

Jennifer ran back to her mother's shop while smiling like a crazy woman who had just won a lottery....... and not just any type of lottery! but the most special lottery of all time.

Her mom's shop was filled with few customers..... so she quickly attended to them, before sitting down on the small stool in her mom's store.

Jennifer placed her hands on her chin, as she kept daydreaming of the guy who she just saw without her being aware that someone was standing right in front of her.

Creating an image of the guy's sexy lips touching her lips, made her blush hard. Not to mention the fact that if she's walking with the guy……. he had to introduce me to his other male friends. Jennifer pounder.

'Gush! it's going to be more than romantic'. She whispered to herself as she kept on daydreaming.

"Miss! are you alright?". A young man asked while snapping his finger, causing me to snap back to reality.
