Fran Drescher : The nanny
Maxwell Sheffield : Nanny's husband
I sat bymself looking out to the beach indulging into the thoughts of my past memories. Tears running down onto my face as I became more emotional. I sighed. I shouldn't have come to this place were it reminds me of David.
It was then when I sensed a stare, turned around and spotted a vague figure of a man walking toards me. As he came closer, I wiped my tears and pretended as if I don't know his existence.
"Why are you crying?" my eyes travel to the ground in embarrasment.
He looked very familiar, "Don't be scared, I have seen you sitting there alone at my balcony and have seen you sitting all alone. I was just worried." His voice is so soothing that within a split second, comforted my mind.
He smiled at me as my face went blushing and I turn my eys back to the crystal blue sea.. a word by word I began to murmur "This is was the place which reminds me of my husband, the fist date that we had on this beach. I remember when I wrote his initials on the sand....we loved so much that we weren't meant to be. He....he died on a car crash just after we got married, all is left here is just me.
I don't know, am worried whether I can survive without him......."
"It's okay" with a warm smile on his face.
I felt a sudden ruch of love from this person who I don't even know.
"I understand how you feel and very aware of all this grief you went through, just be calm okay?
life gets hard sometimes and you just have to bare it with a strong will and remember the green is greener on the other side..."
I looked into his eyes, "Thank you, you are a very kind person"
"No problem, It's my pleasure to talk to a beautiful women like you"
I couldn't sit there longer, I had to leave before I disclose myself to him more.
With a gentle tone, he asked "Aren't you cold?" you must be, you will get cold with all this tears"
Within a split second, he pulled me into his arm and huged me tight. "See, it's warm now"
I was blank leaving the worries behind, letting myself go with the flow.
We stayed like that for moments, I felt his silent whisper into my ear, "Just cry" he tried all his best to calm me down as I began to cry in his arm. It was the warmth that I have never felt since the death of my husband. I didn't care who he was , I just wanted to be with him for a little longer.....
I regain my breath.
"So what's your name?" Pulling myself out of the hug, feeling the cold night air.
"My name is Maxwell, your name?"
"Fran"
"That's my favourite name" with an wink that provoked me
"So, where are you going to stay tonight?" he asked me with a constant curiosity.
"Oh, I will be going home soon before it gets too late" I really had to go, I knew it wasn't the right thing. As soon as I stood up from the ground, he held my hand strongly not letting me go.
"Fran, I don't know what kind of spell this place put me into, but I am sure of one thing..I want to be with you tonight I mean..."His eye and words are so confident "I know that this sounds all stupid and weird but I need you to be beside me now.. I will say it striaght, I fall in love with you for the moment I saw you....." I felt sorry for him, fallin in love with someone like me isn't the right thing. He could get hurt, bearing me with all the grief and sadness and I wasn't ready due to so much pain.
"Listen..max..." not letting me to finish the rest of the sentence, he cuts me off by saying,
"I want you"
"..............."
His statment leaves me speechless....
"Love at first slight could be true after all" I said with a courage "I want you too" I sayed in the silence with a soft music playing on the radio from the house nearby.
We are both grateful that silence is not complete.
So, this is my version of story that reveals how Fran, the nanny and Maxwell met ....
