I have been staring at my laptop screen for more than an hour now and I just cannot seem to concentrate on my work, no matter how hard I try to focus. It is just not happening anytime soon. I have been up for hours now to get some work done but it has been an hour and I still haven't finished this report that has been opened in front of me for the past 45 mins or so.
I checked my phone only to see that its 8.00am. Great. Another day at work with nothing exciting or nothing new to expect. I thought bitterly.
I quickly got ready for work and grabbed all my stuff for work before making my way towards the garage. I quickly stop to grab the car keys from the various keys on display on the wall. Hmm I think I'd take my black Tesla out for a spin. It has been a while since I last used it.
With that thought I quickly locked up the garage after driving out, now inside my car.
It's a good 10 mins drive from where I live to the city and another 10 mins or so to get to my building, depending on the traffic.
I had my place out of the city mainly because of privacy and hopes for the future and my family. With that thought, my mind automatically went to the girl I met at the park.
Although I wouldn't exactly say we met, since that wasn't what happened. I chuckled at how her younger siblings quickly defended her and her witty and sarcastic replies. Her bold actions towards me had me stepping back in shock. No one has ever talked to me that way before mainly because they know who I am, but this girl let alone her siblings. They didn't mind, I doubt they would even treat me differently knowing me and my status, not that I like flaunting it every second but it does make me wonder though.
As I continue driving in the city, I had to turn on a different lane because the traffic was just hectic and annoying.
I came to an abrupt stop at a traffic light. I start to look around me clearly bored and waiting for the traffic light into green before I clearly go crazy.
I can feel someone's eyes on me as I turned to my left to see whom.
As soon as I turned to look at whoever was looking at me, I stopped for a second. My heart rate picked up a bit as I stared in wonder and amazement. Speak of the devil.
The girl I met at the park. The girl that got injured from Zeus's frisbee. I swear I had no idea frisbees are that dangerous.
Back to the point. The girl seems a bit stressed about something and yet keeps looking at my car. She clearly can't see me because of how dark my windows are tinted but I can clearly see her.
She has her hair up on a messy bun and a bandage on her nose. I swallow a lump on my throat and looked down in guilt but quickly brought my eyes back to her as I continue to scan her wondering face.
She is beautiful. Big doe beautiful hazel brown eyes much like her younger sister.
Thoughts of kids with her eyes and a face like mine, playing at the backyard with toys started running around in my head. I smiled, that would be a beautiful and happy home.
Wait what?!
What the hell was that?!
Why did I suddenly think of us having children? As if that will ever happen. Without knowing, I pressed the button for the windows to roll down and as soon as I did, the light turned green which grabbed the attention of this woman and she turned around with her attention back on the road forward.
Her younger sister on the other hand spotted me and started shouting about me to her big sister and most likely to her brother.
And without thinking I started following their car.
After a few minutes of driving around, they pulled up into the tall building of the Fashion industries. It makes me curious, maybe she works here.
I followed behind quickly but swiftly. I saw her getting out of the car and after a few seconds, her phone rang to which she answered while carrying her stuff and closing the door at the same time. I was not close enough to hear what they were talking about but because of the spacious space, the echo of her conversation seems a bit loud and it's so quiet too.
I try to make sense to what she is saying and I have finally come to a conclusion that she is not speaking English.
I also realize that I might've been a little bit of a stalker following her like this, but I actually know the owner. Edward Simons, we went to high school together and college. We're not best friends but we are good friends though. We have our own interests and social circle but at times we help each other out.
I quickly ducked down and rolled up my windows when I heard the young girl saying that she saw me again. Man, doesn't have anything better to do other than stare at people all day? I laughed at the irony of the situation with what I just said.
They left through the VIP and 'Executive's' elevator thus spiking up my curiosity even more.
I am the CEO of my company and I know what it means when you're going to use the 'Executive' elevator. Only the Executives, their respective assistants, the VIPs with appointments, family visitors including your ideal partner.
She used that elevator. Could it be that she works for Edwards? There's also the possibility of her just visiting and that would make her family and I know all of Edwards sisters and cousins.
I heard that he is engaged but I have never seen her before. Could it be that that's her?
My heart sank a little at the thought of this woman being engaged to someone else other than me.
I sound like a girl, but why do I feel a little sad over the fact that she could be Edward's fiancé'? and most importantly, why the heck am I still here?! I quickly ignored these thoughts as I make my way towards my building to get some work done.
Parking my car, I still couldn't get her out of my mind. What the hell is wrong with me?! You don't even know her name! I ridiculously exclaimed trying to get focused for the day.
A FEW HOURS LATER:
I am acting like a lovesick fool trying to get over someone that I haven't even had a proper introduction with.
I have tried literally everything to get rid of her from my mind. I even went as far as yelling at my PA and firing her. Now I am currently looking for a new one.
I'm even counting the books on my bookshelf. YES! That is how desperate I am to get focused.
That's it!! I am going to meet Edward right now.
I probably look like a mad man running around with his shirt untucked and hair all spiked up in different directions.
I quickly got into my car and started backing out of the parking space as I quickly drove to his office.
As soon as I got there, the receptionist at the reception area told me that he is not in for work today and so is tomorrow.
Great! The one time I needed that big head's help, he is not around. Or maybe the universe is just conspiring against me or something.
I walked towards my car and sat down dejectedly. What is wrong with me today? This is definitely not like me to be acting this way.
I sighed. How bad can this even get?
I don't know how long I have been sitting there for but I feel my phone vibrating from my chest pocket. I quickly took it out to see Hazel calling. And the one time I want to be left alone, I get this.
I let her call go to voicemail to which she rang for like another 5 times and then she just sent me a message.
"Meet me at 'The Desert House' in 10 mins - H"
Well, there you have it. Desert House it is. To talk about whatever, she wants to talk about.
