Faith
Chapter 1
I reached out my hand to pick up the last pair of black cashmere gloves just as I got to them another hand had
also took hold of the pair I turned my head to look at the person as we both laughed and let go
“You take them” the young handsome gentlemen said I nodded my head
“No you” I said
“Tell you what you take one glove I’ll take the other” he said making me laugh
“What’s point in having one glove each” I asked as he handed over some money to the till operator
“They’ll be a pair one day” he said and walked off strange man I thought shrugging to myself as I walked out of
the store and down the street a bit I spotted the outside Ice Rink I haven’t been Ice skating in years I
thought as the excitement of ice skating when I was a child filled my head and before I knew it I was tying
up the laces on a pair of skates as I slide out onto the ice I remembered how easy it was too slip over I practised
for a bit going around holding slightly onto the edges before gaining confidence and skating around in the middle
“Ahh we meet again” the familiar male’s voice I heard not so long ago said I turned to where I'd heard
his voice
“So we do” I smiled
“Didn’t think it would be this soon” he said
“Or me” I replied my eye catching the giant clock near Ice Rink
“I’m sorry I have to leave nice seeing you again” I called and went to skate off loosing my balance I fell
to the ground
“Are you ok” he said helping me up
“Yes I’m fine” I replied checking my elbow that seemed to hurt the most
“You should be careful on here come on lets get you cleaned up” he said
“Ha, ha very funny” I said sarcastically as he took me away to the first aid centre to clean up the wound to my elbow
I winced and went to pull away as he wiped an anti-septic wipe over it
“How can I clean it if you pull away” he asked
“It hurts” I complained as I let him finish by sticking a plaster over it
“I really must go now though I’m late home already” I said going to get up
“Wait I don’t even know your name can I call you sometime” he asked and I laughed
“Tell you wait you write your name and number down on this five pound note” I said
“On a five pound note?” he asked and I nodded handing it to him and a pen
“Ok” he said writing his name and number down and handing it back I looked at itbefore going into the
Kiosk next to us and buying a newspaper with it
“Hey how are you supposed to call me if you do that?”asked as I signalled for a taxi
“Well like that glove if we’re meant to be the five pound note will come back to me and I’ll call you, you’ll
just have to wait” I said getting into the taxi
“Namesby-the-way” I said closing the door as the driver pulled away…
