"Are these for real sir" I exclaimed.                                                                                                                                              "I know but we really need you to cover these stories," Brad spoke.                                                         I looked into his eyes which were dark brownish. For a minute I thought that I would die into them. He is gorgeous.

 My name is Amelia Carpenter. I work in a media company. I usually write the script for the question asked to the invited guest on our show. When I first came everyone was very cheerful and excited. But darling we have a corporate job that shows its real colors in the second passed like a month. I've worked here for a long quiet time. 

His name is Brad Barnes. Of course, he is not the only guy working here. He is the head of our team and frankly speaking he can be stated as six feet tall handsome hunk out there. Sometimes I feel as if he proposes to me. I would grab him and say yes. I don't know how he feels for me but it is sure that I am surely having eyes for him. I met him on the seventh day of my office. His first word to me was hi. We now are colleagues. He has a pair of brown eyes. His black hair is so eyecatching and of course, he has a bunch of hair swinging in front of his eyes. His shirt sleeves surely tell how much he workout. I don't know if he has a girlfriend or not but I would be definitely jealous of her.

"Hey, will you do it" He spoke                                                                                                                                                  "Um... okay, "I said, No why he is so handsome. He walked away into his cabin. 

I am not into direct marriages. I want to go on dates, have a kiss, have sex in the hotel room, and sleep. Think about him. I've been on dates but experienced the same not rather. I think I will ask out him one day. I felt a vibration in my bag. I took my phone out it was from my grandmother. I picked it up. She was from the paternal side of the family. She was very frank with me. After giving birth to my dad she realized that she is lesbian. My grandfather found her new chic after the divorce. I felt like he was already with someone else. she was crying.

"your favorite aunt has died" in an unsettling voice.                                                                                                  "Is grandma okay?" I asked her                                                                                                                                         "no my lady is okay, her friend died," she said in a stiff voice. I thought about it for a second and then I realized it was aunt Judy. My smile dropped in a few seconds.                                                    "Is it aunt Judy?"I asked her.  My voice went over the phone. I was waiting for who else it could be but please don't be aunt Judy. My heart was bumping over and over as if it might explode.             She said "yes". I started crying and told her not to cry "her funeral will be in a few days" She schemed                                                                                                    

  I told her to cut the phone and we will talk later. I ran to the washroom and cried for a minute. 

Then I realized maybe brad has saw me. I came out, he was there waiting outside for me. I sighed and gave him a smile. He came near to me, our eyes met and he asked me "Is everything okay? I saw you crying.  I smiled and told him "The closest person to me has died, Maybe I am too emotional".   I rubbed my eyes with my finger. He rubbed my shoulder with his vein full wrists. "It's okay to cry and let your emotions out  Amelia  " He gently interrupts my eyes from his hand to his face.

"Thank you" I spoke and shifted my eyes to the lonely hallway. I asked him for the holiday if possible. He then sympathetically waved his head. "Do I assume it as yes?" I asked him. "yeah" He showed his teeth. " You wanna drink coffee?" he asked. "yep, definitely" I  continued. we walked into the cafeteria as it was already a lunch break. He marked me to sit and went to the counter to bring coffee. He bought my favorite drink and we continued our talk as we sipped.                

"Are you single?" he asked me. I stopped sipping and looked at him. "what, Sorry I zoned out for a second" I confusingly asked him. " are you single " He repeated.  " yes I am single but Why are you asking me that?" I asked thinking if he was interested in me. " Actually, My girlfriend has a friend are you willing to go on a date with her." " Sorry asking you now but I really don't know what to speak when". He stares at me hoping for a reply. My Heart ached for a moment. Today day is definitely not for me. My tears dropped out of my eyes. I rubbed it as soon as it dropped because I definitely not wanted to create a scene.

To walk out of the situation I looked at my phone and smiled, saying, "I'll think about it and message you but now I have to go to my home to see my grandmother".  He understood my situation and let me walk out. I walked off the cafeteria and took my bag from the desk. I made my way out to the building. It was already dark outside.

I sat at the bus stop. I clanked my purse on the seat and thought about the situation. It was definitely not my day. I clenched myself forward and put my elbows on my thigh. My hands automatically reached for my eyes. I started crying out loud. I liked him for two years just to know that he liked someone else, slept with her, and now wants me to date her friend. I wanted to stomp him. 

The bus came. I went inside and took my seat and sighed for a minute. Then after minutes, I reached my home. It was an apartment with a room.  I packed my bag. I messaged brad about the holiday schedule. My phone rang, it was my grandma. " Hey tell me when you are coming," she asked. "Tomorrow morning at your door".  I replied with many hesitations in my voice.

I thought about, why I cried so much for Judy..... 

I took the bus It was of early morning. My schedule was disturbed lately. Now I was only thinking to hate Brad...

I slept for hours Thinking about a new start or riding into the past.....
