Abandoned

Chapeter 1

     

She watched as the day quickly turned into night,

the clear blue skies turning into star filled ones,

the roads not as busy as during the day. ‘Most of

them must be going back to their loved ones’ she

thought to herself as she watched the traffic exit

the central part of town from her apartment

building. She held the glass of wine close to her

lips and traced her lips at the top of the glass

thinking of how it felt to have a loved one close

by. She was a busy woman, too busy to sustain

a relationship. She was all work and had no time

to accommodate another person or have enough

time to consider another’s emotions, she was

about the courtroom and that’s all she knew.

‘That’s my boyfriend’ she would jokingly refer to

the courtroom. But in some way it was indeed the

only love affair she had, it’s only in the courtroom

that she felt a rush, that she felt her neck hair

stand with excitement, it’s in the courtroom that

she felt her heartbeat change…. But once a while

she would wonder how another humans touch

would feel on her body, how would her body react

to being hugged in an affectionate manner… not

the hugs she got from her clients after winning a

case, one in which she would feel safe and loved,

one in which she would feel wanted and

cherished. All these were just thoughts, she

wouldn’t get that satisfaction, she did not have

the time, she did not see any man worth her time

or intellect level, all of them would be intimidated

by her anyway so why waste her time trying to

love and be loved when she could advance her

career.

She was startled out of her thoughts when she

heard the doorbell ring. Irritated at who it would

be that would be knocking at this time of the

night. She slowly walked towards the door and

yelled, ‘Am coming! I have heard the damn

doorbell for crying out loud! Would you calm

yourself?’

‘Who is it?’ she inquired

‘Open the door before I remind you why I was

born 5minutes before you’

‘Oh my God! Jake is that you?’

‘Can you open the door and find out you damn

retard’
