"Anastasia, you are my life." My mum takes my hand and I look at her exhausted."No Mum, your life is the office that you built up with Dad and that John should take over.""No Anastasia, please, I can't bear to lose you too." She looks at me pleadingly."You already lost me Mum, a long time ago, you just didn't want to admit it to yourself, because a Coleman doesn't lose ..." I shake my head slightly "But I have to give you one thing, Ireland was the best decision you made ever met for me You're right, it's an opportunity and I'm taking it. I'll always be your daughter, but I can't stand dads and your looks. You deny me and one thing has become clear to me in the last week, I have to go back quickly, because I'm not a total failure in Dublin. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday and I don't want that for myself anymore. ”I look at her apologetically and push past her outside."Bye Belle." I give her a short wave as I quickly walk through the ent

You're not from Ireland are you?" She gets her toothbrush and I grab mine too."No." I reply shortly.“And where are you from?” She asks, not being upset by my monosyllables.“LA” I answer and look at her.She has long, red-blonde curls that swirl wildly around her head, her light blue eyes and light freckles make the image of a true Irish woman perfect."Wow, from the States." She looks at me appreciatively, ties her hair up loosely with the toothbrush in her mouth and beams at me with her mouth full of toothpaste."Yes." I start brushing my teeth too."You are really pretty," she notes after rinsing her mouth out."Thank you." I smile slightly confused.There is a way about her that irritates me on the one hand, but is really charming on the other.To my astonishment I find that I like her and decide that it can't hurt to make at least a few contacts after three months ...I will b

It is difficult for me to concentrate on the lesson because my eyes are always on his full, beautifully curved lips.Nevertheless, the lecture is exciting and very instructive and when he says goodbye we all applaud him. I pack my laptop and book and descend the stairs from the top tier.“Anastasia? Will you come to me again, please. ”Nate calls me and again it is my heart that immediately reacts to his soft, warm voice."What's up, Mr. O'Brian?" I stand in front of his teacher's desk.“Shall we have lunch together today? I would like to discuss a few things with you that Prof. Williams gave me on the way. ”He explains to me and I think my heart is about to jump out of my chest ... Then Jenna occurs to me."Actually, I already have a date." I admit.“Were you really lucky with your new roommates?” He laughs."Yes, she's special, but I like her." I admit. "She has more self-confidence than any other

 “Here, Ana!” Jenna shouts and I laugh and shake my head as I sit down next to her."You cannot be overlooked." I explain to her with a wink. “I hope you don't mind, but I invited Nate. I have European law with him. ”I explain to her and look around for Nate, I watch him anxiously and Jenna snaps her fingers in front of my nose."He'll be fine." She laughs and points to Nate. "He and I are magnets, he's attracted to me." She grins.Nate reaches our table and sits down next to me while I still laugh and shake my head.Jenna is just amazing, she manages to improve my mood a lot in seconds ..."Hey my all seeing friend." Jenna greets Nate and I look at her in amazement. "What, Ana? Just because he's blind doesn't mean you can't be kidding. ”She pats me lightly on the shoulder.I eat my salad while Jenna and Nate have a chat. Rather, they tease each other and it's really amusing, you just notice that th

We arrive at a small café and sit on the heater.I wave the waitress to me, "A large latte macciato and you?" I look at John.“A double espresso.” He orders and she nods before going behind the counter to finish the order."I thought you didn't want friends here in Dub." He says suddenly as the waitress puts our cups on the table."How did you come up with that?" I reply skeptically."Well, the women on your floor said you were pretty withdrawn ..." he shrugs his shoulders apologetically "... Today was the first time I heard you laugh. You have a wonderful laugh Ana, you should laugh a lot more often. "I notice how the blush is rising again in my face."I'm working on it." I say softly and he takes my hand."Nate ..." I pull my hand away from him. "You are my teacher and I can't afford any problems.""Okay Ana ..." he pulls his hand back. "I'm sorry, really sorry." He apologizes."No Nate, I'm

Anyone there?" A male voice sounds and Jenna crawls off me, we have just fallen off the ladder while trying to hang up the curtains and are holding our stomachs in front of us laughing."Here Aiden!" Calls Jenna and a young blond man enters my room."What on earth are you doing?" He helps Jenna to her feet and pulls me up too."Hang up the curtains." Jenna and I say as if from one mouth."And you have to be Ana." He grins at me and I try to calm down."Yes, I am." Gasping for breath, I say "And you are?""This is Aiden, my unique big brother." Jenna beams at him and for a short moment it stabs me right in the heart ...John.How I would love to have him here by my side now.“Where are you hiding? Hey guys, I'm a disadvantage. ”Nate's voice sounds and I take a deep breath.“And that's Nate.” Says Aiden."I know." I say immediately and Jenna says, "She knows." Like a shot from the gun.

"You can't lie Ana, don't even try." He sighs and stands up. "I didn't mean to get too close to you." He assures me."Nate please ..." I close my eyes."Ana ..." he comes to me and takes my hand "I like you ... As a friend, if you prefer that. But please see this unique opportunity you have, not just as an escape. ”He asks me.“As an escape from what?” I ask quietly."Before your feelings." He whispers and comes very close to my face.Once again I wrestle with my feelings about him.Is there ever a right and a wrong with feelings?I put my hand on his cheek and he closes his eyes."You have no idea how much I would like to allow that, but Nate ..." I begin."Ana, I am very well aware of our situation." He interrupts me."No Nate, you are not aware of the scope and that's a good thing." I confess, then I lean over and kiss him gently.He pulls me back to him and I wrap my arms around his ne

The attempt was really nice." She underlines my statement and we go to the Italian.After a really great pizza I rub my stomach and Grace grins at me.“Didn't you get anything to eat over there?” She laughs."Yes, but to be honest ..." I roll my eyes "They can't cook, I've lost 10 pounds.""Oh little one." Grins Dex "But you did your job really well for that. The college was very impressed that you passed with a B. Crawford and Petersen only passed a C and I think I have grown almost 3 centimeters with pride. ""You are so nice Dex." I raise my glass "To my last semester.""To you." Dex winks at me and we toast.Then I get some news about what has been going on here in the meantime when Dex looks at his watch, startled.“I have to drive you to the dorm or Jenna will tear my head off. Has anyone ever told the girl that she can be really exhausting? ”He rolls his eyes and I laugh."More like one." I

According to European law, criminal law awaits me and I have to say that my exchange program gave me a certain head start and I can take it easy.As suspected, I spend my lunch break alone and after I have 3 hours of litigation behind me I step into the spring sunshine of Dublin and take a deep breath.He's already at the gate and I sneak up on him."Hello stranger." I greet him with a laugh."Hello strangers." He replies and grabs my arm so we can make our way towards the city center."Thanks for the coffee." He turns to me when we are forced to wait at a pedestrian light."You're welcome." I press the button on the traffic light mast and look at him."And happy to be back here?" He raises an eyebrow and I nod.“Are you nodding?” He says with amusement."Yes Nate, I nod." I admit.“Well, you missed Dublin.” He states.Yes, Dublin and you ..."Yes, the rules are really strict

"Definitely, and if I don't want to talk to you, I'll just walk past you." I laugh."You learn quickly." He replies, amused, and I go into the house. "But I would recognize you anywhere ..."I turn around again and watch him until he has disappeared around the next corner.When I get to my room, I sit on the bed and try desperately to force a normal rhythm into my heart, because my chest is still hammering like after a marathon.I let myself fall back on the bed and take a deep breath."Are you there?" Jenna pounds on my door and I grin."Come on in Jenna." I call and she walks into my room."Well, settled in again." She tilts her head and I sigh softly.“If I have to go somewhere again, I ask for some sun. Did you expect something else? ”I free myself from my scarf and jacket and sit up."I don't know, you are still a mystery to me from time to time." She sits down next to me on the bed and gives me a slight
