Dreams Come true

Chapter 7. Dreaming with eyes open

7. Dreaming with eyes open

Sabrina's POV:

It has been a day, and I have sorted most of the things I just have to do grocery shopping. Luckily the place this new firm has provided me is quite comfortable and feels cozy enough to let me adapt quickly.

I changed out of my PJ's and went grocery shopping, what all I required, the firm even offered me A Cook, but I denied

Because I like cooking and baking, it helps me take my mind out of problems going around, and I don't like the taste of food made by others that are not me.

I have always been habitual of cooking for myself, even when my parents were alive. My mom had such high cooking standards that she could easily compete with a master chef of some five-star restaurant.

Having said that, I guess I inherited her trait in this. I was also into cooking from a very young age. After picking all the essentials, Loaded them in the car's trunk the firm has provided me with.

When I was waiting for traffic to end, I saw him again looking forward on the road, him I mean 'my Arman, my Angel' can I even call him mine? He looked frustrated his windows rolled half if it wasn't I couldn't have made out that it was him because they were tinted.

My heart started hammering again. This time, Arman started looking sideways. I quickly looked another way. I don't know why I did that when I tried peeking a second glance towards him. I was glad he was looking in front with a stoic face.

'Huh…. I can check him out now', huh? Are these really my thoughts?

His hair looked disheveled. Maybe he ran his fingers in them many times, but it did nothing to diminish his beauty if something added more to his elegance, and that car was an add-on. He was driving a black Aston Martin. I think I have a thing for cars as they lure me towards them.

He revved the engine back to life and sped away. I was still gawking at the place where his car stood, trying to calm my raging heart. I was repurchased out of thoughts when load honking of cars behind me. I sighed and started and pulled my car out of the way.

The next day I got ready for work and invested time to make myself look presentable.

"Good morning ma’am how may I help you?" The blonde girl in the reception asked.

"Good morning can I know where Mr. David's office please" I enquired.

"Do you have an appointment to meet him?" she asked again, and looking at the badge on her chest, I figured her name was Chelsea.

"He is expecting me," I responded.

"Your name please?" Chelsea asked.

"Sabrina Kline," she called someone and nodded to whatever the person on the other side said to her.

"Yes miss please follow me," she said and started walking in a long hallway and into the elevator.

She knocked on the door, and when a faint come in was heard, she gestured me to enter, so I did.

I could see a person whose back was facing me sitting on a swivel chair. When Mr. Davids felt me standing behind, he turned to face me.

He was nothing I expected him to be. I expected someone similar to Mr. Finn of his age, but sitting in front of me is a decent-looking man who is probably in his mid-twenties.

"Done checking me out Baby girl?" he smirked.

"I-I…" I couldn't form a word, not like I was checking him out; I was just comparing him to other oldies I have worked for.

"Relax I was just kidding come take a seat," and I did.

"So you are Sabrina?" I nodded. "I have heard a lot about you from Mr. Finn."

"Hope it’s all good that you have heard off," I said, trying the lighten up a bit.

"Believe that it was more than good, that old man couldn't stop bragging about you," he continues "though I didn't like that baldy but I think he has a great choice while hiring people with skill and after seeing you I totally agree with him I have got a beauty with brain this time."

I blushed at his words, "thank you Mr. Davids."

"You can call me Mark and don't think that I was hitting on you I am always this Jolly with my employees."

"I get it" I smiled at him.

"And keep your boyfriends away from me I would just snatch them from you," he said mischievously.

"What!!!" I gaped widely at him.

"Duh… I am gay if you couldn't figure it out even after speaking to me this long.

I liked him already. He seems better than Mr. Finn and I liked how blunt he was. "Don't worry Mr.… I mean Mark I am already into someone"

"Is he hot?" Mark grinned.

"Very," I replied.

"Keep him away I might steal him from you," I laughed. He is a good icebreaker, and this is all too good for the first day, and I am grateful to have been relocated here.

I didn't have many friends in my previous firm because my boldness was irking them in the eyes, and they couldn't risk themselves being seen with me.

"Whose man are you trying to snatch this time Marky?" I saw a cute boy around 19-20 years old standing by the door, his arms folded on his chest.

Mark quickly composed himself and approached him. "No one love, you know I only have eyes for you."

"Then why did you enquire whether her man is hot or not?" he raised his eyebrow questioningly.

"How long have you been standing here?" was Mark's question.

"Long enough to know that you have been enquiring that pretty lady about her lovers looks," the boy pouted, and Mark kissed him hard, pulling him by his waist. Wait, they could have waited till I am out.

"Ahmm…" I coughed lightly to get their attention. It snapped them from sucking each other's faces.

"Is my work done? can I leave?" I asked.

"Just a thing left and you can leave afterwards," he said and pulled the boy along. "This is Chris or Christian my boy and Chris this is ever so famous Sabrina," he introduced us.

"Nice to meet you and Mark you sound like his father" I extended my hand for a shake which he gladly accepted.

"Same way Sabrina I have heard so much about you hope we could get along," Chris said in his sweet voice.

Mark pulled Chris on his lap and started briefing me on my work.

I loved how cute these two looked. With Chris on Mark's lap and his arms encircling his waist, this is what I once fantasized about myself with Arman. I haven't got used to how my heart thumps at the mention of his name tough not loudly.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

On a chilly winter morning, I saw myself sitting on Arman's Lap. At the same time, we both were tangled in a blanket, and his one arm circled my waist, and the other was out of the blanket working on his laptop.

His hands lightly caressed the sides of my stomach, and he planted occasional kisses on my bare neck.

This was what I dreamt with eyes wide open in broad daylight sitting in my office. I was flustered with my own thoughts. I didn't think that my random thoughts would wander to such forbidden places.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I shied away from thinking about those thoughts which I once lived and whatever Mark was telling was long forgotten.

Mark waved his hand in front of me. "Get a grip on your thoughts baby girl."

"Umm… ahmm what were you saying Mark, sorry I was lost thinking about umm… something" I cast my head down, not wanting them to see the heat rising up my cheeks.

"Yes lost in thoughts of your Prince Charming it is okay we get it," Chris teased me, and Mark laughed like there is no tomorrow.

"Come-on love, it’s not like we don't do it, want me to prove what effect I have on you?" now it was Chris's time to blush hearing mark's words.

"Mark about some project you want me cover," I snapped him out of his teasing zone.

"Oh yes I was saying that there is this event which has significance for all the entrepreneurs in Manhattan, I want someone reliable and confident to cover up this event from our side I was thinking if you could do it, I don't think of anyone as capable as you and you have been in this phase and handled very well so are you ready to do it?" Mark asked.

"I think I can do that, send me the detail I will look into it but you do know that one person can’t handle such extravagant thing right?" I said.

"Of course that is why I will be personally assisting you with this and it will be held in resort for which have to leave by tomorrow to prepare everything and it's a four days event I know I am informing you on a very short notice but I believe you can handle"

"That’s alright I will get my things ready and be prepared by tomorrow," I informed.

"Okay I have made all the necessary arrangements, Chris will be coming along so I will just get my stuff ready and I’ll send details of everything As soon as I can," Mark said.

"Okay so I will be seeing you tomorrow then?"

I picked the folder lying on the desk and started heading out.

"Lock the door on your way," Mark shouted. I looked at them, only turning back immediately as their hands were all over each other I went out with a smile on my face.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Do you think Travis and Sabrina are going to attain the same event? If so, will their path cross once again?
