“Yes you did, anyway are you sure you’re not going to come with us? It’s a new joint in this town, it means you’ll see a lot of hot women there” Shane said then winked at the brunette

“No I’ll pass; you enjoy yourselves guys anyway even if I’ll go there no one will even bother to look at me”

“You don’t believe that Bette, you’re beautiful inside and out trust me” Shane replied looking straight at the brunette’s brown eyes.

“Are you hitting on me McCutcheon?”

“In your dreams Porter!” The two friends laughed hard

“Hey you go ahead I’ll just get my other stuff then I’ll go home.

“Alrighty see you on Monday!

“Yep see yah, bye”

Chapter Two

            ‘Forgive me I’ve never known this feeling, I’ve lived without it all my life is it any wonder then I failed to recognize you? You’ve brought it to me the first time, is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Anyway at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say I cannot find the words except for these—I Love You’

            Tears went down Bette’s cheeks when she heard those three little words uttered by Elise McKenna, the heroine in the movie Somewhere in Time. Bette and her dog, Jiego were sitting together in the living room watching the film that they’d seen for countless times, which always been an evening ritual for both. While her friends were out partying Bette Porter preferred to stay at home

“This movie is beautiful (sniff), really beautiful right Jiego (sniff)” the brunette said to her yellow Labrador dog. Jiego just looked at her and nodded.

            Those lines never failed to stir her emotions every time she watched the movie and deep down inside she wished that someday someone would say those lovely words to her. Bette was born a hopeless romantic, she believed in soul mates that someone in this universe was perfectly made for her who would share her deepest longings and whom can bring the best in her and vice versa.

Suddenly a woman’s face entered her mind; she was walking at the corridors of the English Hall earlier that day when she passed by Sarah Williams’ classroom. She remembered how bright her smile was while she was talking to her students and how it lit up the entire room.
