Flipping my laptop I check my mails just to be disappointed with nothing. Well, Im too eager that I nearly count time since I send my resumes last night hoping for my sooner freedom.

But it didn't come ofcourse, I need to wait for days, or weeks or even worst even months before I gain employment abroad. Sure do Im competitive but I wasn't the only one around the world.

Grabbing my coffee I took a sip and lean, resting my back to my comfortable office chair. I slowly close my eyes while still holding my cup with both hands. Far too distressed on my surrounding and its fuss.

Yeah, so what about tomorrow? Its just another saturday. So Why do people keep on busying themselves for that? Fudge. They should have atleast thought that today is friday the thirteenth, that 14th is payday and a loveless day, 15th is restday and But just as I make myself a lot bittier with tomorrows anticipated event a knock came in followed by a familiar footsteps. I lazily open my eyes and give my confusion to Ariel whose bringing some beautiful boquet of roses.

Ooh. Common. Don't tell me even him is up to that!

"Presumtions were always deadly." He said warning me with his playful smile. "pictures are more Persuasive rather than conclusive sometime. ." He said while putting the flowers in my desk.

I look at him, studying while forming a challenging a smile as if expecting him to explain further.

"They are for you." I grew more puzzled and inclined. Ariel and I were good friends and were very close, so close I might think of him as my brother and though he'd always been there for me he never really show any interest on me and had hardly asked me out, just those BFF moments like his birthdays or mine and some other special occassions but with exceptions to Valentines day.ofcourse.

More puzzled I tried to open my mouth to say something just to be shut with his hand then out of no where he produce a card. "From the president." He said with a teasing smile.

I blinked. Did I hear him right?

"Yeah. Speechless? Me too. I just actually met the delivery boy and take it from him. I really wanted to see your expression."

Wow. Seriously. Ive been working for the company for almost five years now. Well, I started from an auditing firm actually then after two years move to a private accounting then a job was offered here as head accountant since then after five years a promotion was offered. Thats why Im pretty dazed with the sudden interest. I mean, Alec had just been our president for nearly three years now and his been nice and easy on me. But a date? An interest? Surely there must be some mistake?

"You serious?" I asked as I put my coffee then grabbed the card from Ariel's hand.

"Very."

Reading and flipping back and again and reading again making sure Im not delusional, the card really says,

'I hope you have not yet picked a date for tomorrow. I really like to spend it with you. .'

Yours truly,
Alexandru.

Mouth wide open I stare at the card and back at Ariel.

"Good thing we don't have flies. Or else you'll be eating them already.'

I shut my mouth. His sometimes annoying, almost ruining the mood.

"Har-har. ."I give him a fake laugh then as the thoughts came in so as realization. "How can I tell him no?" I sounded almost desperate. I don't care about promotion anymore nor do I care for anything currently all I wanted is to get out of the company's grip not long enough and Alec's sudden interest is just another part I so wanted to escape.
