When Elizabeth, a self consious young adult who is looking after her disabled mother is given the opportunity of a life time to work for the blind mind who pays for her bus ticket, a man who keeps popping up in her life, what will she do?
Today has been quite pleasant , so far I've gotten mum to eat and bath herself, when normally I would have to do everything for her.
I think as I stand up , my face falling into a frown silently hoping that she was okay, mum always used to be strong , so when I saw her in that state part of me nearly died until I realised that there was a reason for everything and that maybe just maybe God had a good reason for the way my life had been later out.
I planned to get everything done today, including getting mums GP medication sorted and going out to look for yet another job

I stepped on the bus and gingerly tapped my flat card against the surface of the "beeper" before I retrieved my card to go and sit down, I was delayed however when my card declined, it had had no money

As I waited for the lady to get me a receipt that I would pay later during the day, my eyes wandered to the dull bus and the impatient expression

Turning back to the lady she smiled at me as she continued to press buttons within her little cubical palace, I chewed on my lip nervously as I rechecked my pockets just in case I found any money in there. The bus driver smiled waiting also to see if I did find anything at all.
"Nothing?" She asked politely I bit my lip harder and sighed.
"I'm so sorry about this, I really thought I had some money

"No worries my lovely, you ain't gotta worry about it alright?" she smiled as though she understod my situation which made me even more embarrassed.
"I'm just...so sorry" I sighed feeling like a waste of space
"None of that now, it's alright, we all have these moments" she spoke making me laugh gratefully as I reached for my ticket.
"Thank you, and I will pay this back" I smiled at the most nicest bus lady I had ever met. About to finally walk into the bus to sit down, I was forced to freeze within my second step.
" I'll pay for her" a deep cold voice spoke behind me, everyone in the bus waited with curiosity. I suddenly felt irritated by the fact that this person behind me was about to pay for me, when I could handle my own payments.
"Oh! alright love, that's £3:50 Please"the bus driver explained.
I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. The man behind me reached over and placed a new crisp ten pound note on the tab. I watched from the corner of my eye as a strong tanned hand pulled back from the tab, the bus lady smiled, before going back to fiddle with the change. I frowned.
My eyes wondered up to his overly defined chiselled jaw and the plump pink lips, a straight nose and as my gaze looked up to meet his eyes, landing on a pair of black ray-bands.
"Here's your change hun" third river lady spoke in a cheery tone before handing the money

"Excuse me but...why did you pay for me when I didn't ask you to?" I tried not to sound rude but I was so embarrassed.
The man smiled and stopped in from of me, holds on to the rail of the bus. He then leaned into me, his aroma invading my space, my heart sped up as I felt his other hand dip into my pocket as he left the change in there.
"You're welcome" his voice mumbled lowly in my ear, and I wasn't sure whether to lash out at him or just leave it to save my self some embarrassment.
"I don't think you understand what I mean't...sir" I sighed and dipped my hands into my pocket. Looking up at the man I pulled my hands towards him, at the same moment the bus doors opened l, soon he whizzed past me before I could even return his money.
"H-hey wait!" I stammered in shock and disbelief at what just happened, looking around I notice every pair of eyes were set on me, each expression stripping away my confidence. I cleared my throat and looked out if the window
