Dominic extended his hand to me and I took it, grateful for the mask that covered most of my face because I could feel the heat from his fingertips coursing through my veins. He held me close as we swayed to the rhythm of the music. No one else mattered then. After the song, we stopped dancing and he held my face and pulled me in for a kiss. It was my first kiss and indeed it was a magical one.  

Hi, my name is Autumn.

“Do I really have to go to Uncle Miles and Aunty Maria’s? Why can’t I go somewhere else? Bella is so spoilt,” I looked at my mom, my eyes pleading with hers. 

“Because there is nowhere else for you to go. My sister isn’t that bad,” my mom smiled, “And besides no teenage girl wants to babysit her grandmother over her summer break. Try to have fun ok.” 

My mother kissed me on my forehead and I hugged her. I grabbed my bags and stepped out of the car and pressed the buzzer for the gate. My mother waited until I was secure behind the gate. I looked at the mansion before me.

“Might as well get this over with,” I muttered as I walked towards the house.
