Unexpected love

Chapter 27

"Smile. People are looking at us." I said while stepping back a little and continued staring at her while smiling. For some reasons, I always find my self close to her. I know this is not good for me, cause every-time I stand this close where I can feel the warmth of her body and that sweet aroma that she has, my mind goes on a twirl and my heart starts beating like crazy. I should control my emotions. She should never understand the impact that her presence has on me.

She puts a fake smile on her face and looks towards the paparazzi. They took us some couple of other pictures and then we leave. As soon as we leave, she let go of me, turns back and says:

"This better be the last time you touch my waist and whisper in my ear." After that she turns in her heels and leaves.

I also want it to be the last time okay. I also do not want to touch you. Damn it. Now it looks like I am desperate to touch her, when we both know I do it only in front of the people. Anyway tonight is very important for me. I will not let her ruin my mood. As long as she behaves and stays away from me everything is okay. I follow her, in order to enter in the hall.

There is our family. We met with them and talk a little, laughing and all. It seems like nothing happened 10 minutes before. I did not know that I was so good at acting, but it seems like I am when I need to. After a while, a woman calls Sara and she disappears. I thank God, cause this situation is becoming frustrating. At least now I can be in peace and not have a smile all the time.

Since Sara left, I was able to enjoy the event. The decoration was very classy and simple. The organization was very well made and I knew that the person who did it, knows what is doing. There are their project models in the hall, where we can appreciate the beauty of their architecture. After exploring every part of the hall, I go to the dining table where our family waits. The only one missing is Sara. I have been around for 1 hour now, and I did not see her. Where is she? I stand up to go and search for her, only when the lights of the scene starts and a woman heads towards the podium. She is the same woman who called Sara. Maybe I can ask her later, if she knows where Sara is.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are very grateful for your presence tonight. We hope you are enjoying the event. As many of you know, this event is very special, since today our CEO, the head of our innovative projects and the source of our success, will make the identity known to the public. I think everyone is waiting to know who the famous architect is and I think there is no need for many words from my side and it is time for our CEO to thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Sara Koci."

I stoped and I did not understand very well if I heard it right, but the moment Sara stepped in the podium, looking more stunning than ever and with such an elegance and self confidence, is the moment where I understood everything.

She is the CEO. She is the only business person that I want to have a collaboration with. She is the only business person that I really appreciate and have been inspiring by. She is the revealing that I have been waiting for the last 2 years. She is my...my wife.

Surprised I look towards my father in law and I see him clapping as much as he can, and I can tell the proud that he has in his face. Then I look towards my father and he looks as surprised as I am. I am not understanding anything and... her voice stops my thoughts and I look towards her.

"Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the event. I am here today to express my gratitude towards every person that has supported us during the last 3 years. Thank you for understanding our values and philosophy and appreciating them. I am noticing some surprised faces today, and I totally understand why. Many of you probably thought that I was a man. And many of you never thought it was going to be me. First of all, I want to say sorry to the people close to me, that did not know my little secret, but I made a promise to myself when I started, that the only persons that will know my identity, would be my father and the people of my company. To who, I am forever grateful. Thank you guys. If you would not be that enthusiastic to learn more about architecture and passionate about your work, we would never achieve this many great things. I once again thank everyone present here and the ones that has always believed in us. Thank you and please enjoy the evening!"

She left together with the other woman, and everyone was clapping and smiling. I still can not believe what just happened. The woman that I thought was not worthy, cause she married someone rich without even knowing him, the woman that I told to come and maybe learn some things from this event, the woman that I have been wanting to meet all this years, the woman I hoped to be, is the woman that I am married to.

I always hoped for the CEO to be a woman, cause I was little impressed and obsessed with, and I always said if she is a woman, she will be the only one I will have a crush on, since I love intelligent woman. And here she is. She is my wife. My wife. My wife.
