"Hey, Anj. James is taking me out for a date tonight!" my best friend happily announced as she walked in late to our shop one mid-morning. "And guess who is here," she continually chirped.
Behind her was a shadow of a man I was hoping to be Lance not until I heard somebody else's arrogant voice. Arrogant? Well, not really. He was just full of confidence, that's it.
"Hey, you two sexy ladies. How's the biz doin'?" Mark Carlo gave each of us kisses on both cheeks.
"We're doin' just great. What brought you here?" my best friend asked interestingly.
"Oh, just wanna see how your friend reacts if I actually show up here," he said teasingly.
"Point taken but before I'll leave you two here, Anj I have things to remind you for the next day's wedding. Come, I'll show you some things in the workshop that need to be taken care of," my best friend dragged me to our work room.
"Anj, why is Mark Carlo here?" my best friend suspiciously asked.
"I've been chatting with him these past days since we saw him at Mrs. Gonzaga's wake," I honestly answered her.
"Did he initiate it?" she followed through.
"Mmmm... Your ex-boyfriend's wife did. But we're only chatting. That's just it," I said as a matter of fact.
"I heard things about him," my best friend warned.
"I know. I already did some research about him and it's not his fault," I suddenly covered up for Mark Carlo.
"But he's never in a way available," she continued to warn me.
"I know. I know. Just don't think silly about this, OK. Nothing is happening," I explained.
But then, Mark Carlo became the bad boy in my wild dream. The only one I got to see with intention. The forbidden fruit from the tree that when I ate of it, I got exposed! He could read me and see right through me like an X-ray! He was my rebellion for all the unanswered/ungiven boys I prayed for. Shame and guilt, I knew he was unavailable. Mental torture, I knew I was illegal. Condemnation, I couldn't forgive myself. He was north, I was south. I was positive, he was negative. Truly, opposites attract and the jolts were real! If only he was available. It was never what I wanted but I have no regrets. With him I had my life's craziest adventure!
