Always been love

Trrrrrrrrrrrr..... bam!! ‘Fine!!’ I say screaming after throwing the alarm onto the wall. It’s 6h:00am already and if i don’t get up I’ll miss my interview, because firstly I’m as slow as snail and lastly i love me some good breakfast. Time is not really my best friend though and the last thing I need are setbacks so while making my bed I decide that I’m eating at a cafe today. I quickly go to my small bathroom to take a shower and by the time I’m out it’s already 7am- snail I told you. I quickly get dressed to my classic black office pencil pants, with a white blouse and red bottoms to finish the look, first impressions last right? I call an Uber and it’s at my gate in under 5 minutes so I hop right in and to a cafe nearby where I’m going for my interview. I’ve researched a lot about the company and the boss but I feel the need to go through my notes and questions again whilst waiting for my breakfast. By the time I’m done with my breakfast it’s already a few minutes to 8am so I quickly get up to go when I bump to a very hard chest. I look up terrified, I’m met with the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. Brown-green hazel eyes that would’ve been more beautiful if they lit, they were dark and intriguing at the same time. I snapped back after someone cleared their throat. ‘uh... I’m so...’ I said stuttering and was rudely interrupted by him speaking. ‘Look where you’re going next time, my chest won’t be there to save you instead the wall will and that pretty face, well will no longer be pretty.’ he said with a smug look, I can’t believe I was going to apologize! ‘ hopefully there won’t be next time, thank you though for the unsolicited advice it’s highly appreciated especially coming from a man who seems not to have time for anything else but feeding his own ego’ I said smiling with my whole teeth out there. He chuckled and walked away, it always feels like an achievement bruising arrogant men’s egos. I sighed and checked my watch and you were damn right I was late. I hurriedly took my handbag and walked out the cafe, 2 minutes later I was at the front desk at the ground floor of Sebastian Corp. ‘ hello, I’m here for the interview starting at 8pm.’ I said smiling awkwardly to the lady in front of me who had a nerve looking at me in disgust when she’s the one who looked like a corpse with dusty makeup. I kept on smiling anyways. ‘ 18th floor, you’re lucky the boss is not here because you’re late.’ ‘Thanks’ I said in a question like manner. I made my way to the lift and when it opened I pressed for the 18th floor. My nerves were starting to kick in as my heart started beating out of my chest. This is a new experience, I previously worked for a big company like this but it was a family business so some mistakes were excused. Now I’m looking for work at a big company and I’ve heard the man has a big ego as his company but I know how to handle people like him. Okay why am I talking like I’m already hired? I heard the lift opening startling me. I sighed and walked to the other receptionist who was looking a little bit older than then one at the ground floor. Before I even greeted she smiled at me. ‘Morning honey, your name please.’ ‘ morning, uh the name is Aurora Marcello.’ I said smiling back. ‘ okay and seems like you’re first so you can take a seat and I’ll tell you when the boss is ready. I nodded and mouthed thank you! There were quite a few people in the room, both genders. It was nerve wrenching because I know how boys take their jobs seriously. I looked around, greeted and sat down. Painting were surrounding us and one picture of the boss as I’ve seen him on the internet when I was researching about the company, it’s said that he’s quite a womanizer. He’s handsome so it’s understandable what those eyes can do to ladies, wait!!! Those hazel eyes are familiar, it can’t be! I was rude and I think I’ve lost my chances at getting the job. Okay Rory you were standing up for yourself! I said trying to calm myself down. ‘Ms Marcello’ said the old beautiful lady snapping me back to life. ‘ you’re first, the boss is waiting for you.’ she said giving me a reassuring look and I nodded as she showed me the way. I was so nervous as she opened the door for me and I’m thankful because my hands were sweaty. I saw him sitting there and he didn’t even lift his face to look at me. First of all he’s beautiful and arrogant too! I reminded myself. Okay maybe I don’t know him yet? ‘he literally made it your fault that you two bumped at the cafe.’ said my inner voice. I need to stop talking to myself. ‘are you going to stand there or what? I don’t have all day.’ a very deep sweet voice said filling the whole room and it made me feel some type of way. Maybe this was a bad idea, you know, continuing with this interview after our little interaction. How is he going to look at me now? I’ve made a fool out of myself. I’ve never in my life doubted myself like this. ‘If it isn’t Miss Feisty, I didn’t notice there was glue in that position you’re in. Should I call help? ’ Oh God! I must be looking stupid I didn’t notice that lady was not even with me anymore and I’ve been standing here all along. I gathered up courage and made my way to his desk. There that smirk is! I hate him already but I can’t help look at those eyes, they’re intoxicating. ‘Pull yourself together!’ I quickly breathed in and out for a few seconds. He was watching me all this time. ‘Good morning sir, no there won’t be any need for help.’ he nods and suddenly his face changes to a very serious professional mode. I was glad though I was starting to lose my mind. He gives his hand out to receive my CV/ Resume without even looking at me and it stings a little I don’t know why. ‘ I see you’ve worked with one of our rivalries and i must say I’m impressed considering the position they’re at now.’ My Dad’s company is their rivalry? This is not good. ‘ thank you I guess?’ I said my confusion visible. ‘ but what do you offer now to a company twice as big as your previous one?’ He said looking at me blankly like he was bored or something. ‘ my skills and knowledge, I’ve been an assistant for 4 years now so I’m experienced and I see myself doing a lot for this company in the future because I also hold a degree in business management/administration.’ he paused for a few second, breathed out and nodded. His breath gave me goosebumps and the smell was incredible. Why would he do that? Okay not so long ago I was also doing breathing exercises but they didn’t seem to affect him. Why would they anyway? Stop talking to yourself! ‘ as you know you’re the first candidate so I’ll go on with the interviews and we’ll let you know the outcome of your interview.’ He said giving me back my resume after writing my name and number on the shortlist. ‘I understand, thank you.’ I said taking back the resume/cv our hands brushed and a very embarrassing low moaning whimper escaped my mouth and he looked like he stopped breathing for a while. His forehead veins were popping and I stayed glued to the sit not knowing what to do as our hands were still touching and our eyes were boring into each other in a way I could never understand. I was the first to draw my hand away and I looked down embarrassed as hell. I quickly got up and made my way to the door hoping he’d say something but he didn’t. Why didn’t you say something? What would you say in a situation like that? I kept asking myself as I made it out the door. I don’t even know how my legs made it through because I felt so weak. I said my goodbye to Mrs Simpson the old lady after she wished me good luck. I wanted to go home and take a very cold shower and think about the events of today. There’s so many things I’ve done to jeopardize my chances of getting this job, first the cafe incident, secondly the standing and staring for almost i don’t know how many minutes and lastly the freakin moan! What was that about? I can’t believe myself right now.
