Rea as always she called her mother Marry to check up on her but tonight she had so much to tell her Mom about. She then shared yesterday’s Christmas party news with her.

Her Mother encouraged her to always pray about a man she wants and asked God to help  her find a  man that she will be able to love and tolerate his mistakes as no one in this world has no mistakes in life. They called it a night and they all went to sleep. James couldn’t sleep a wink he was torsing and turning all night when he was  remembering Rea's face at the party. His imagination sent him away for a while, when he finally got back from the dreaming land it was already time to wake up. But he closed his eyes for at least 2 minutes to rest a bit before he take a shower and went to work.

He then fell asleep, when he woke up it was already so late, he jumped on the bed went straight to the shower and  quickly he was in his car to work. He didn’t even look himself in the mirror because he was late. He arrived at work and took out his personal computer and entered the building. The first person his eyes lead on was a beautiful face of Rea holding a cup of coffee going to her desk. He looked at her and smiled and said
good morning miss Rea” .

Rea greeted him back and she was a bit surprised as they do not usually greet each other in that way James has just did. She looked at James while James was walking to his office. When James looked back he saw Rea staring at him . His heart started beating an unusual beat if you get what I’m saying.  He was happy thinking that maybe Rea noticed him at the party so now she is interested in him.

He was asking himself  if that look means  Rea is into him, he then opened the office door and entered the office . Before he could sit down lucky enough his office has a mirror, he then looked at the mirror and that’s when he realised that maybe it was not because Rea was into him , maybe Rea was shocked to see him with his blazer been worn vice versa and the tooth paste on his cheek . He was so sad and feeling embarassed when he saw how he was looking . He closed his office door and did not want to go out of the office or anyone to come in . He was not okay at all. He had no choice but to come out of the office and start working.

When he was doing his job He made sure that Reney nor Rea don’t see him, he avoided where they we until it was a knock off time . When he was on his way to his car he met Rea and her friend in the parking , Reney looked at him and waved her hand to say hi to him in an unusual way. He then waved back and got in his vehicle and left the company. He didn’t know that Reney was only thinking about how he was behaving at the party. He just thought that Rea told her how he was looking in the morning and he believed they gossiped about him and now Rea already lost interest in him.

What he didn’t know was killing him. He drove home and sat down alone in the dark ,  in the dark he was feeling better than when the lights were on.
