My Ever Sought After Dream : A Reality

Book 3 : Acquaintance

The Candid Memories...

Time flew by indeed, and just like the lyrics of that popular song says, ' like my father's come to pass, twenty years had gone so fast. Wake me up when September ends...' Now she perfectly understands why she was blessed with a sharp sound memory. It is for these splendid memories to live forever. ' Viva FOREVER I'll be waiting, everlasting as the SUN' , says another song playing in the background. She can't believe that in a few days' time, she will be turning twenty-seven. She made it through the rain, needless to say. At her age, she hadn't had a boyfriend. Not that she is picky, but she is too afraid. Everyone that she loved had left her. She knows that in this modern age, she can already be referred to as a left out when it comes to romanticism. But she doesn't mind. Their company made it an automatic vacation leave for the employees' birthdays.

What will she be doing on her big day? Will she just watch a movie by herself? Buy new clothes or a new pair of shoes? Yesterday, as she was preparing to go home, she had a first glance at the new person of authority, the big boss. Oh my...!!!! This was the very first time she had been keenly looking at a guy!!! This guy didn't really have to even try hard to draw anyone's attention at all. She had quickly assessed his very strong, masculine features. He probably stands six feet and two inches. Hmmm, those pronounced chiselled jawlines gave him more air and a mixture of confidence and power. What about those biceps? The long sleeved polo that he was wearing seemed to be having a difficult time containing its enormous size. And that body under that top. She is really quite sure that he probably has a six pack or even eight pack abs.

" I guess you are enjoying what you have seen so far?" He heard his dj baritone-like voice echo that made her bounce back into reality. She didn't notice that for a few minutes, she stood there motionless, studying Bradley's looks, that made a lot of women swoon, fall inlove, experience heartbreak and cry more than a river.

" Ahhh errr----", she stuttered as if a kid caught getting the last cookie from the jar. She suddenly felt so ashamed. She felt his hand lift her bowing head with his right hand. This movement forced her to look straight into his deep blue eyes. He was standing so close that she could smell his sweet musk and his fresh breath fanning her face. These gestures made her close her eyes, as if expecting a kiss from her estranged boss. Seeing what she did, he raised her chin a little more, and gave her her first enchanting kiss. This forced her closed eyes open in bewilderment. Absent mindedly she whispered, while rubbing her lips, " Y--ooouuu just gave me my first kiss." Gosh, why can't I stop stammering? She slowly scolded herself. She lifted her right hand to redeem herself from all the embarrassment, but then again, remembered that it was her boss, Bradley, that she was about to slap. So what she did instead, was put it down, step back, and when there was enough space between them, run away crying. She had enough humiliation today.

" Hey, Erin, come back here. " shouted Bradley. So he just followed the woman with his locked gaze, asking himself why he did it. Before he flew over to the Philippines, he had taken a look at their company's yearly company album, and he couldn't be mistaken. This is the face that he would take a look at before going to sleep at night, although most nights he could barely sleep at all. Whenever that happens, he will go out and drink to get drunk. He, Bradley, the most eligible bachelor in town, would fall for a commoner, like Erin? No way!!! He denied. Then, he would come home to his condo unit with another random woman that he had met in the bar. Yes, he wouldn't have to try, he could have any woman that he desired. He could have a different girlfriend every day, had he intended to. They would all so willingly jump into his lonesome cold bed.

" Errrrinnnn.... Errrinnnn.... I looove youuuu." he moaned, while in a heap of ecstatic pleasure with another woman he had taken home from his favorite bar.

The woman blurted, " Hey, who the hell is that, Erin? with an angry face the woman questioned him.
