"Evelina, is the party ready for tonight?" Asked my boss.
"Everything should go off without a problem. I've booked the DJ, set up the drinks, and got the caterer. We've sold over 10,000 tickets. The auction should be pretty good." I reply.
"Evy what would I do without you?"
"Probably lose yourself in your paperwork."
"No I mean, you got this party together in less then a week, sold so many tickets, and you're always on time. No scratch that you're early. I swear sometimes I could kiss you."
I could kiss you too but I'd lose my job, "Wow, kiss me really?" Play it cool Evelina he just said he could kiss you not that he's going to kiss you. God I'm in love with my boss.
"I could but I won't. You could lose your job. Hey maybe you'll find someone tonight."
Yeah, right. "I'd better go get my dress for the party."
"Do not be late Ms. Miloni."
"Am I ever?"
I grab my purse and walk out. I'm in love with him but it can't happen it won't happen. My job is way to important. I love my job more then anything else, besides my circle of friends that I have.

The party started out pretty good, the buyers look interested in the entire collection of art. They're not paintings buy the greats but a great painter a dear friend named Raelyn. She's a photographer too, the best photographer I know. I'm glad we hired her for the party. She has such a good eye for the photos that need taken.
"Raelyn Jacobs, amateur obviously. How many clients do you even have, 3, maybe 5?" Asks a photographer, a jackass who isn't even supposed to be here.
"Hey, Jackass I hired her. She's working the party of the year and you're not so I think that says something don't you think? Security! Remove Mr. Jackass from the room. Have a not so nice night." I said I am going to run this place one day. I won't be the assistant I will be the CEO.

One man, one man that has caught my eye. He keeps looking at me, we keep making eye contact. I wish he would just come talk to me. But I don't always get what I want. So Close by Jon McLaughlin starts playing and I see him walk towards me.
"May I have this dance?"
"You may."
He takes my hand and the way he is dancing takes my breath away. He's amazing, I can feel the warmth of his breath on my face the warmth of his body heat radiating off of him. We're so close I can feel the ripples of his body. Then he kisses me, not a peck a real kiss one that could have lit fireworks.
"I have to go." He says.
"What? Why?"
And he just walks away. A kiss like that why didn't he stay here. Was I not good when I kissed him do I suck at kissing. Oh god I suck at kissing. No, they're must be a logical reason for him to just disappear. Or maybe not.
