Chapter 1:The meeting
Wendy Harvey was so excited about meeting Thomas Waite, the man she had met on a plane trip to Paris that she cancelled all her work appointments for the day.
This surprised her friend and co-worker Amy Blankston so much that Amy decided to talk to her friend and find out why she was cancelling all her appointments.
As Amy approached Wendy's desk, Wendy looked up at her and smiled.
"Amy, it's not like I invited you did I?"
"And since when do I need an invitation from you?" Amy took her seat in front of Wendy and looked straight into Wendy's eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that Amy?"
Amy kept staring at her.
"Okay tell me something is wrong with my make up. I mean I just got out of bed, rushed over to work and that's it,"
"Wendy I v'e noticed your sudden mood change. Is there anything you're not telling me?" Amy placed her hands on Wendy's laps. Wendy took her hands and held them.
"Okay look, I met this awesome guy on my last trip to Paris and I'm excited about meeting him that's all,"
"Oh so wait, you've been cancelling appointments all because of a guy you met on a trip?" Wendy nodded in reply swinging Amy's hands,
"There's nothing to worry about. It's a Friday, whatever it is can wait till next week. I'm in no mood to work," Amy got up to leave.
"Yeah I get it, Come Monday and my name will be on your lips all day,"
"What are friends for Amy?"
"yeah I know that. not when you pick up the checks though."
After work hours Wendy was on her way out when Thomas called and as she responded, she was met by Amy who put an ear to the call.
She instantly moved away until she had finished talking with Thomas.
"Amy I've been excited about meeting this guy the whole week. And today....." She stopped and looked at her best friend Amy.
"Well today what?"
"I'm finally meeting him and I don't know how it will be," she said placing a hand on Amy's shoulders. Amy felt a little worried that her friend
was going to spend the rest of the day and perhaps the whole weekend with a man she hardly knew.
"I don't like surprises but how well do you know this guy?" Amy was beginning to feel she was about to lose her best friend.
"Aww Amy, this guy is my dream. I mean I would do anything to be with him right now,"
"Great, just tell me how it all ends much later will you?"
"Oh no Amy, we are going to my place right now and you will help me choose what I'm going to wear,"
When they got to Wendy's place Amy helped her choose a beffitting dress and then called a taxi for her. When the taxi arrived, the two friends bid each other goodbye.
Wendy was on her own now going to Thomas's house. He had given her the address and the indication on how to get there.
As she arrived and got out of the taxi, she stood staring at the building undecided if this was the right thing to do. It was their first time meeting and it was at his house and not in a public place.
Wendy stood for a while at the door of the house thinking it was a mistake on a first date. But then she reasoned that after all she was already here. And so she placed a finger on the door bell.
But before she could press it, the door swung open and standing in front of her was Thomas.
