"No no it's ok Mr. Salvatore, nice to meet you," I said, "No formalities just call me Anthony, please sit down," he said shaking my hands. To describe him, he was tall, like 6"3, sharp jawline, slightly messy hair, dark brown eyes, he was handsome, he was wearing a black shirt, rolled sleeves paired with jeans and brown boots, quite handsome I must say, just like those male models for some expensive brand of magazines . "I know I'm hot, but please stop drooling over me," he chuckled, I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. I know that too much feeling for a first meeting that too a professional meeting, I shook the thoughts from my head and concentrated. He started speaking" So I have read your resume and I am quite impressed, look straight to the point, I am just a entrepreneur, a beginner, I know you have quite a qualification but believe me I was just looking for a right person just like you, once my business grows we both get profited, besides a big multi national company is ready to invest in my firm and I need someone like you to represent me in my future and don't worry about the salary , it's the same as mentioned before and your salary will grow with my firm's growth, so you interested ?" he stopped speaking, I analysed everything he said and to be honest I am ok with this offer I mean I am a newbie, if I were to apply somewhere huge there are less chances, so without further ado I agreed on this. The meeting was quite well, Anthony is a nice guy ,he has a good experience in his work, we did the other formalities and I was officially employed in him office.
I was very happy , no more crappy notes from some psycho lover s***h stalker, I can now finally be relaxed again, the weather was pleasant, I really love here I don't think I will go back to Cambridge, I mean it's a nice place but after that horrible experience i don't think I will be able to live there besides I love to stay here at my parents house and spend time with them, they are my life. I remember once that when I was eight years old, I used to have a puppy, Lino, I loved him a lot, he was there with me for 5 years of my life, I still remember the night I said goodbye to him, a essential part of me was gone, he was my love, I am really very afraid to lose my loved ones, I cannot even bear the thought of them getting hurt let alone me being the cause. I had never been in any relationship but my life changed when I met the love of my life "Adrian Ramirez", I truly love him, he is my every thing, he is literally" boyfriend goals" I mean he is just so caring, I know, too much appreciation but I can't help it, we have been dating since high school , he lives in the next neighborhood and is three years elder than me, our story started out of the blue, we were chilling on the beach along with our friends and then he confessed about his feelings, he started liking me long before, it took me some time to accept it but it turned out to be so good, now we truly love each other. Sadly we are in a long distance relationship since I went to Cambridge for further studies and he went to New York for expansion of his business, he is quite successful now, he is growing his name in the business world and is now among the first 30 successful entrepreneurs, I am really proud of him, we remain busy in our own work but our love never decreases. I talked to him and informed him that I am back in my home town Visalia, he was extremely happy and he will return here in a few days. No I didn't tell him about the stalker, I will but when he is here with me, besides me, in front of my eyes, I just want his warm embrace that's it.
Few days past by a blur, I was working in Anthony's place these days and I was quite satisfied with my job, he was a friendly boss and we became friends as well. My work was almost done, I packed my things and suddenly I saw a text message on my phone from an unknown number, my heart started beating fast, "Do you miss me love, don't worry I will be there with you very soon,"I was scared to death, why was it happening again. I quickly ran out of that place and took a cab and went home, as I entered the house, no one was present there my heart beat stopped"Mom, Dad, Erik , where are you?", I went towards the hall and "SURPRISEEEEE", all my family members were there and surprisingly Emily and Joseph. were also there, they stood together too close and I suspected something fishy, suddenly someone closed my eyes from behind, it was my mom, my younger brother dragged me somewhere nearby and my mom removed her hands from my eyes, and there was my man of dreams, my love, everything, Adrian, kneeling down on one knee, he hold my hand and started speaking"Elena Parker before you my life was colourless, loveless everything was missing but then you came in my life, filled my life with your colours of love, you taught me the meaning of love and then we started our journey, we have been together for six years now and I want to live the rest of my life with you, holding your hand, Elena, will you marry me?", I didn't realize tears were welling in my eyes and before I know it I said"YES" , yes yes yes, Adrian Ramirez I will marry you, I screamed with happiness, then he put the diamond ring on my finger, and we kissed, yes we kissed that too in front of my parents,"Get a room guys"Joe said playfully I turned red from embarrassment and everyone laughed, I was living my dream and was on top of the world but little did I know someone was watching me from far away.....
