During the 2 weeks before joining my workplace~

Sam was acting too much clingy as for being told as a friend well yeah closest of a friend, I simply told him, " hey, I think you are not proposing me or something else , right?" Because your clinginess is telling me otherwise.
He told me, " Babes, you are my most bestest of best friend. It's true you need to know." I smirked and said, " Cool, so be it."
Though I know he likes me for sure.

"So "he murmured, " You only don't understand me, I adore you a lot but you don't see through me ..." I heard it and giggled a bit. He seemingly annoyed said, " Did you hear it or what?"

I told , "No man, why will I hear your personal remarks" I smirked again. To which he remarked, " Prati,you don't understand me that is the saddest of all."

"Just tell me you don't like me more than a friend " I boldly remarked .

He being a bit taken aback said and rather kind of confessed, " yeah- um- I do.."

"What!?"

"Please understand, um- yeah I like you a lot more than a friend or close friend whatever you say".

"But- umm.."I hesitated and then coldly told him, "Sorry , I don't date , find yourself a new one."

He became very annoyed and sad it was evident in his facial expression but tried hard to not show and left the room suddenly , I felt a bit sorry but did not feel like following him all the way to apologise him . Actually, it is kind of my bad trait ,when I feel I won't do a thing ; nothing can persuade me.

Two days passed. Sam did not talk to me and only talked via Laura and Ryan which was so unusual of him ,though kind of I am to blame for it as I should not have acted that way but you know dating freaks me out . I mean the sole idea only makes me do a lot of whole damn lot of overthinking ,so it is not for me.

Recently after those weeks of getting a cold shoulder from Sam, I met my colleague Mr.Briney . He is such a gentleman , the day I joined them I felt as if I have come home ,didn't feel like a fresher at all. There is something special about Shawn.
Some weeks passed and I was already the insider as if fully hired without any issue. Anyways maybe I am making up in my mind but it seems "Newyork Times" do like me.

Sam was there , I won't say that I was romantically affected by his affectionate innuendo, but I could say that something new was slowly creeping into me rather engulfing me , from the moment I saw Shawn. If I had felt a bit clinging to Sam that was purely platonic to what I felt for Shawn.

After saying he liked me , which is a little bit towards romanticism but not fully towards a relationship and after I had  rejected the idea of dating ,he stopped talking to me as if I had done something grievously wrong.

Shawn is my immediate boss in the New York Times and my interning period here will last 3 months after which my fate will be decided.

I did complete my assignment that is my research paper which people generally do in their PHDs but Professor Watson's insistence and assistance made me do so and yes it did compliment my CV and my self- confidence too during the campus hiring. True to it , I saw people admiring my work ,my behaviour and my independence while working.

But,but,but....there was something that was creating a magnetic field between me and Shawn Briney. Maybe this is too much coming from me at the very least, but it is true. Shawn had ocean blue eyes, silky brownish hair and a 6 ft height ,well, his sculpted features which includes abs were to die for which was evident from up his shirt ,as if God had specifically taken time by giving his best in the craftsmanship of crafting Shawn. "Damn! "I sighed on my own remark.

It's kind of unbelievable, I definitely know, but this thing is happening and I am definitely not being able to control it. He means Shawn is something new ,completely foreign that I did not know my mind and maybe body craved all these years , which I had denied myself on the pretext of completely not dating. He has enchanted me by all of himself. I was enchanted to meet him. The moment I started speaking to him sparks started igniting inside me like never before , as if he is the one I have been waiting for ,so,that I could rest myself on his shoulder and he would never land me ever in trouble.
Maybe I am blabbering but all these are the harsh truth I have been denying myself after getting to see him and know him too.

Sam was never there , I mean I never felt sparks in my heart and butterflies in my stomach before Shawn entered the scenario , rather my life.
