Revenge

    As  I looked in the mirror and looked at the young woman that was staring back at me.I started examining the way she looked. Her wavy black hair that ended right below her breast,  her full curvy figure that filled her body in the right places. Her dark glossy brown eyes that have witnessed life itself, and yet the little stress wrinkles that show all the heartaches and headaches life threw at her. And yet there she was standing in front of me, because I was the woman in the mirror. I couldn't believe I was her. Brave, outgoing, adventurous, kind, beautiful ,smart.  Many obstacles this woman faced in life but pretty much it was easy to be that woman that can push things in the back of her mind as they never existed. And yet the past sometimes found its way to creep up in her dreams. But in the end she wouldn't let her past affect her future because in less than 12 hours she would become Mrs. Daniels. Yes,  I will be waking up to face my future ahead of me. And that future had one name, Adam Daniels. He had everything a girl could ask for, compassionate, kind, mysterious, and in many cases in our relationship strong and in control. Our love story is that out of a love story and yet I can't believe I will be his. Flashback: 1 year earlier:     It was as if it was yesterday,  I was walking up to my office when Lindsey my assistant started ranting of all meetings, follow ups, calls, and schedule for the day.      "Okay Ms. Banks  you have a 10 am meeting with Whitfield company to discuss the upgrades on their websites. Also another meeting with the Grays that want to see if brochures and flyers are up and running for their next fundraiser. SHOOT! That reminds me at 9:30 am you have a phone call with the Jasper's Company to review the Jazz party, which reminds me I have to make sure I did catering, appropriate seating arrangements, decor... Oh and DARN IT, 9:30 am you also have a meeting with the Daniels to discuss the upcoming celebration of their 50th aniverisary of the store opening. Which reminds me I have to pick up your dresses.. "      Its morning like this where I wonder Why in the HECK did I open a multi-functional do it all you need company. But then it hit me, I smiled inside and realized I wanted to do something no one has ever done and my company does it all from finance to web format, to you name it, any event planning, its something that helps people become less hectic when it comes to start off a new journey in life. Whether its a wedding, aniverisary, business opening, I have developed a company that can save time and energy from people hiring multiple companies for just one thing.     "Lindsey CALM DOWN!!!" I screamed. "My goodness its not even 8 am yet and you already managed to give me  a headache." I said sarcastically. Smiling, Lindsey gave me the look,  'oops, I done it again.'      'Sorry Ms. Banks, but as your assistant, you know how I get, I didn't mean to , which reminds me, Here is your coffee, 3 creamers 4 sugars and nice and warm as you like it."       Seriously,  I love the girl  and for being my assistant for the last year and a half I can't help but say I am glad to have her around, I just hope her ranting does not rub off on me. We walk into my office which was on the top floor of a 50 story building called  THE BANKS. Lindsey opened the windows knowing how the skyline view of the city sent me jitters of conquering another day. Being one of  many competitive companies in Los Angeles, California, that was unique, gave me pride of how it grew in such little time, and just to think it was just getting started.   I Looked at Lindsey and dismissed her so I can get my schedule squared away. I started sorting all calls to be made, to organizing 4 websites for new companies who wanted to franchise worldwide, to even being able to answer all 50 emails in less than one hour.  'Madeline girl you got this!'      All of a sudden a tall dark browned hair, light skinned, well built figure in his grey business suit came into my office. I looked at him surprised and all he did was smile and stare with his icy blue eyes.      "Hi Mrs. Banks I am Adam Daniels."      I couldn't fathom the words because in that time my heart beat was racing 100 mph.I felt my stomach twist and turn, it almost felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. I stood up to shake the strong hand in front of me, and to see his blue eyes eyeing me from head to toe just sent a river flowing down my core.      "Uh-hum Mrs. Banks?" He said.      "First off its Ms. Banks and if I can recall Mr. Daniels our meeting is not for another 30 minutes. But since you are here sit down and we can discuss details. What can I do for you sir."      I gave him a cold stare of I am in control and hurry up I don't have all day. But at the same time this stranger manged to make me feel as if he was undressing me with his eyes. In that moment I took off my jacket because the flush in my cheeks and the heat radiating off my body was to much for me to handle. He gave a sly smile and started staring at the opening of my blouse which revealed a small glimpse of the rack I was blessed in woman hood.  He started  biting on his bottom lip, and gave a smirk.      "Well first off you can call me Adam , not sir, or  Mr. Daniels, I prefer we get to know each other on first name basis since for the next two weeks you are practically mine."      The look of shock seemed to make Mr. Daniels grin with glee, I mean WHAT IN THE HELL did he mean practically mine for the next two weeks the nerve of this guy.     "Excuse me, but how about we keep this business and not first name basis, and may I ask MR. Daniels, what do you mean I am yours for two weeks?"      I stared in confusion as the man stood up from his chair across from me and started making his way towards me. In an instant he was sitting in front of me on top of my desk and smiled . The only view I had was his manhood in front of me and the only thing between me and him were the fabrics wrapped around our bodies.      Madeline focus, Madeline focus.'     "Sorry, Ms. Banks but you see I come with a proposition as you know my father's company is celebrating its 50th aniverisary of the store opening but I want your help. You see my father and me don't have the same vision and to be honest I don't want just a*****e as my family's legacy but an empire. Stating my vision I know with your help and your smart business moves you can help that vision come true."     Hmm after listening, it did give me my own vision. Small business, to franchise. Why not its something my company hasn't really done before.     "Okay, Mr. Daniels I am interested. But what is in it for me?"     He slowly reached and grabbed my hand and smiled,      "A legend Ms. Banks, you see if you help me make this vision come true, you can go beyond your safe zone, let's be honest I had done, my research Ms. Banks, and I know your the type of women who likes to take chances with small businesses , and be kind in helping others and their success. Plus some colleagues of mine would be greatly at your door if you manage to make this work."      In that moment he stood  up and leaned in close to me. I could smell the expensive cologne he was wearing and feel his breath on the opening of my blouse. He grinned and whispered in my ear,     "Also it does give you some time to get to know me and who knows one day become more than just..."      Suddenly Lindsey walks in the door, "Ms. Banks I just wanted....OH MY!!!  SORRY I CAN COME BACK SORRY!"      In that instant I stood up cheeks fired up from the scene that was witnessed. I mean yes it was innocent in my point of view but for a another person not so much, and yet , I barely knew the man. But poor Lindsey, she probably thinks I am going to get on her for forgetting to knock. But hey in this case she practically saved my life. But I wonder what could of happened if she never walked in. Was I really going to allow Adam..Mr. Daniels get closer than expected, how is it meeting the man not even 15 minutes he was making me feel things I haven't felt since..     "Ummm Ms. Banks?"     "Huh. I mean yes, Mr. Daniels, sorry I was lost in my thoughts."     ' Why did I just say that?'  With a smirk he stood back and stared at me, and from the looks of it I could tell Mr. Daniel was undressing me once again with his eyes.      "Well, Ms. Banks, with that said I want to cancel the celebration coming up and postpone it in two weeks. I talked with my father of course and he gave me permission to prove to him that my vision is what this store needs. Also we have one week, or should I say you have one week to come up with a website for my vision, and also plan the party, the week deadline is to show my father what this can become and if he is satisfied we have the green light to start a new 'Business' journey. All I am asking is for you to sell this vision to him and of course all cost are covered by me whatever price you name it. My future is in your hands."      With that he grabbed my hand kissed the top of it and started walking out.  "Mr. Daniels!" "Yes" "Where do I start?  I mean I know so little about the store and I need to know what type of franchise you want to pursue?" "Don't worry Ms. Banks I will have my assistant email you all details, Have a good day."      With that he winked and smiled and left. And just like that I was left with the thought of 'Why did I accept?'
