Charlotte's P.O.V.
After meeting with Kate I returned to the elevator and climbed to the next floor. The Interview with Kate went well we seemed to get a long and she was very pleasant. However, the minute those elevator doors closed, my nerves began to take on a life force all their own.
The doors opened to a lobby, smaller than the main lobby but not any less spectacular. Same marble floors, beige painted walls with gold trim. Two raised ponds with the same black, white, and gold fish from the lobby ran down both sides of the walls. Ahead of me were two huge wooden doors with beautiful carvings of two children playing and dogs chasing them and families together. It was truly breathtaking.
One of the doors was open a crack, I could hear a masculine voice talking to someone on the phone. "Please! Let's get this contract going! We can't lose this deal! Light a fire under Rodriguez if you have to!"
I knocked and peaked in. The man looked up at me, "my interview is here Toby, I have to go. Please work on this."
His icy blue eyes never left mine as he hung up the phone. His black hair perfectly held in place with gel, but not too much to where it looks bad. He was gorgeous. Probably one of the most beautiful men I had ever seen. Yet, something felt familiar about him.
"Please come in and have a seat," he says as he looks away to peer at a few files on his desk.
I enter the room and place the file in my hand on his desk. I sit down, nervousness plainly showing on my face. I mean, he is the CEO.
"Kate just called me to tell me she had found her replacement, I guess we will see Miss...." he opens my file and reads my name, "Charlotte Reec-."
His face goes pale white as he reads my name. That made my nerves escalate. Did he know something about me that I didn't know?
Just then he looks up as if he is really looking at me for the first time. His face reminded me of a child who had just found their favorite toy that had been missing. His eyes instantly looked misty. He stands up and comes around the desk never taking his eyes off me.
"Charlie?"
I felt faint. What did he just call me? I could feel shock come over my face. I stared at him speechless as he spoke the name again as if he couldn't believe it. " Charlie, is it really you?"
When I heard the name come from this beautiful man's lips I suddenly knew why he seemed familiar. I instantly started feeling light headed.
"Nate?"

Nathan's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe it. It was written clear as day in the file she placed on my desk. 'Charlotte G. Reece.' My Charlie.
I stopped mid sentence and looked up into her eyes. Those beautiful green eyes. I don't know how I didn't notice before. I guess I was too caught up in my own projects to really look at her.
"Charlie, is it really you?" a sob escaped from my throat.
It had been ten years since the girl of my dreams was taken from me, the love of my life, my Charlie. I was so heartbroken. I even tried to find her as I got older, but I always hit dead ends.
Now here she is standing in front of me. Still that same beautiful wavy auburn hair that she had at twelve years old. However, today she had it pulled back. Those beautiful green emerald eyes I had always found myself getting lost in. She was absolutely stunning. She had on a black pencil skirt with a black jacket, that shaped her body nicely. The top unbuttoned to show a white blouse underneath. She was average built, not too skinny, but not heavy either. She looked like she worked out, or at the very least, jogged. She had settle makeup on her face that only accented her already perfect features. I couldn't understand how someone I already thought was so incredibly beautiful could grow up to become even more beautiful.
"Nate?"
She looked just as shocked as I was when she spoke my name. Her voice, different now, mature, choking as she spoke.
Hearing my name on her lips, I could no longer stand it. I quickly, practically ran over to her and engulfed her into my arms pulling her tightly against my chest. She wrapped her arms around me and I held her to me in a tight hug.
Almost as soon as it started, it ended. We pulled apart and wiped our eyes. I wanted so badly to touch her, to place my hand on her face kiss her. She came back to me. The love of my life came back.
