Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

*** RICK ***

She was moving towards me and I realized more and more that I was not dreaming and that it was beautiful and well my Brenda, the one who simply made me lose my head. I even passed my hand to the face to see if it wasn't a hallucination, but no, it was the reality of things. My heart was beating strongly, stronger than before and I thought I was going to have a love attack, but it looks like my heart was so happy to finally see the missing piece that it didn't even want to give me this chance to make this love crisis.

Brenda was finally in front of me and it looks like I was electrocuted because I couldn't even move anymore. But once she had approached me, it seems that she recognized me because she was just looking at me without saying anything, just like what Julia had come to do during the day before starting with her stuff.

It was the most wonderful evening for me because I'm in front of the one that drives me crazy. Seeing how Brenda looked at me, I told myself that maybe she didn't recognize me and that she looks at me like that because I blocked her way.

I'm about to give him the way when I hear « Rick, don't you know she's the director of this company? I had turned my head to see and it was Mr. Gabin who was talking to me out the window.

I had just shaken my head to give way to Brenda, but it looks like she didn't want to enter because although I gave her the passage, she hadn't taken another step. She was just standing and looking at me.

Mr. Gabin, who thought maybe I had offended him, came down to apologize to Brenda. Once close to us, he wanted to speak after saying « Excuse Miss Brenda. » when Brenda stopped him and said « It's okay, there's no problem. »

« Yes, it's her, it's her voice, this melodious voice. It's her, oh how beautiful she is, oh my God make this girl the only woman of my life. Because I can no longer control myself, it's just as if she took possession of my being. I have no doubt, that I am in love, but I wonder if this love will have a future with my social rank. A poor guy like me can be the guy of a director of a big company, not to mention that she is a star, oh my God why me? "

I spoke internally and wondered what Brenda was saying while being silent like that.

She had asked Mr. Gabin to leave us and without further delay, Mr. Gabin distorted our company. I just thought she took the time to check some things before embarking on the action. But I wonder what it is.

Mr. Gabin had his entrance inside and Brenda spoke to me saying, « Will you spend any time looking at me without even giving me a chair for me to sit down? »

This sentence brought me down from the clouds because I immediately realized that Brenda remembers me and that's why she spent all this time staring at me.

I asked her to go inside and she made me understand that she prefers us to stay in the garden to talk. What I hadn't refused, which was a little weird, when Julia Brenda's girlfriend came to see me and made me understand that she wanted to talk to me, I didn't feel comfortable at all. But it was the opposite with Brenda because it even looks like I was waiting for her.

But that was right, except that I didn't expect her to give me this right so quickly. Because she's my boss in a way, indeed, we've already met once, but I have to ask myself more questions. She came for me, she recognized me and she still wants to thank me for what happened at the supermarket or Williams her little brother told her about me and she came to thank me for that?

I was asking myself questions that I couldn't even find a question.

We took a seat and Brenda had put down her bag and faced me. It seems that the latter still didn't know where to start.

*** BRENDA ***

I am finally in front of the one my heart demands, but it looks like I have lost the words. Because my heart beats so hard and I feel like he wants to get out of my chest, but it was just because he is so happy to finally be in contact with his reason for beating.

Rick makes me feel what I have never felt before, he has awakened everything that slept in me and it looks like he holds the key to my being.

Many men spent their time flirting with me, singing me the hymns of love but, they did not know how to awaken in me, what Rick awakened in me. Just two days and it looks like he holds the key to my freedom and without him, I have no reason to live.

He is in front of me and I am sure he was asking himself a thousand and one questions except that he could not see the fire that his presence awakens in me. I have no doubt, I'm completely crazy in love with Rick and I realize that I won't be able to live my life without him. Maybe I had made missteps by making or considering a lot of decisions or dreams. But for this time, it's not classified as false, but a beautiful and good decision that I make.

I didn't have to give my tongue to the cat so I decided to take action.

– Rick...

—Yes, Brenda...

*** RICK ***

It was just strong for me because I can no longer remain silent. I just want to tell Brenda what I started developing for her. But I'm still afraid because I don't know the reason for her presence and what worries me is that she still doesn't say anything.

Brenda has not only imprisoned my heart, but my whole being, I am completely crazy in love with her and I also pray that she will not be occupied by another man. Because it is so beautiful that even the adjective « Beautiful » does not even have its place, because it is more beautiful.

Its beauty can give sight to a blind man, its teeth shine like diamonds, its natural beauty shows that my dear continent is full of beautiful and delicious women. The queens of Africa.

His mesmerizing smile leaves me speechless and his beautiful lips just make me want to do what I have ever done in my life. Because I know they would certainly be delicious.

Well, I'll do so on

Brenda spoke and started by talking to me.

—Rick, do you see that the world is small and that despite having done everything possible to run away the other time, I've stuck you again?

With these words, a little smile appeared on my face because I am finally convinced that she remembers me. Except that I don't know what she has behind her head.

But I decided not to give my tongue to the cat, because I was waiting for you for this moment a very long time ago if I can say that like that.

—Why do you think I fled? Because that's not what you think at all. The world is indeed small and I didn't even think I would find you here, even if since the other time, I have...

—Yes what?

It looks like it was stronger than me and I couldn't hide it to let time judge. But I have the effort not to dance faster than music but to the rhythm of the music. So I just stopped on these words.

But it looks like Brenda wanted me to finish this sentence I started, but I just replied « nothing at all » and she had continued where she had stopped.

—Well Rick, can I know you better? And please, I don't want you to see me as the director of this company, but simply as a friend. This means that I don't want you to see me, can it be okay?

—Yes, we can say that, even if it will be a little difficult for me.

—Stop with that please, do you know that my brother and sister don't stop talking about you? They even talked about you to our father today, as my mother already has an idea about you. Except that they don't yet know that you are the same man who rescued me last time at the supermarket. You can't know how what you did to me, touched me and I don't even stop seeing the scene again. You are simply exceptional. Well, as they say, well-ordered charity begins with oneself, so I will introduce myself and you will also do it in your turn.

—Okay, it sucks.

On the other side...

*** MR. GABIN ***

I wonder what this girl came to do by clinging to Rick like that. We can see that there is something between these two people, in any case, I will be here to support you if luck smiles at you, my boy. But my only concern is that you don't make enemies because we are not tall to face these people. In any case, we have God who is with us. Oh, I now see what led to this change in Rick, so that's the deal? But I wonder how he quickly got in touch with this girl? My guy, you're strong, but just be careful.
