Forbidden Love

The Start

Brie's POV

As I was doing my daily office task, I can feel a penetrating eye, staring at me. I saw him staring from afar, is he looking at me?

I brushed the idea out of my mind, maybe it's just on my mind and  I continue working . Since we have a spare time before going back to the last task, I was talking to my colleague, when I received an error message after  when I smell a familiar scent and I hear his soft voice behind me.

Callum: Are you done with todays task, or do you need help?

I can feel my heart leap at his voice. I turn back to him and replied.

Brie: I'm all good thank you.

After replying I face back my computer, my heart pounding. I can't think straight, I can still feel him standing behind me. I know that I'm not supposed to feel this way, I feel disgusted of my feelings and thoughts. After that my day ends without a hitched. I went straight home, but my mind still keeps on thinking about him.

I played some music to calm down my heart, but I think fate is taunting me, the music that keeps on popping on my feeds are all about loving someone that can't love you back. I laughed at the circumstance.

After eating and taking a bath I read a book about empowering woman, to take my mind off him. After reading I said my prayer asking for guidance and help in guiding my heart in this trying times. I need to guard my heart at all cost, cause what I'm feeling is wrong and could no longer continue.

Callum's POV

Her name is Briella and she asked to be called Brie. She has this charisma that makes everyone near her glow. She's strong and independent, someone that does not need a man, she knows what she wants and no one can stop her. 

She sits a few row in front of me, her smile is captivating, it makes my heart happy, like a refreshing ray of sunlight after the rain. I never felt this before even from my wife, and we're not even having any problems, I love my wife, and I can't understand what I'm feeling right now. I know what I was feeling is wrong, and I'm not that type of person to look at other woman when I already have one at home.  I look at her way, she's talking to the other team members and they were discussing something, she's happy and giggling. I wanted to be near her, and I just realize that my feet is already taking me to her. I ask her if she needs assistance, but she replies that she's all good. She get back to work after saying those, I stayed a few minutes behind her, I just love the way she smells. It gives me comfort but it makes my heart ache, cause I know this is all wrong.

She's like a forbidden fruit, tempting but I should know better, not to pick it. I spent my day making sure I'm far away as possible to her. The day pass by so fast, I went home and was greeted by my lovely wife, I can tell she knows something was wrong, she asked me if something happened at work. I replied and said nothing I'm just tired today and I need to sleep. I went straight to bed, and hoping this feeling will soon pass cause this must not continue.
