During her drunken stupor, Mikayla had asked this heart stopping question at David, her long time bestfriend and unknown to him, her unrequited love, her crush. "Bes, will you do it with me just once?? I promise you nothing's going to change."
He had been tempted. Very much. He like to take her innocent body with the purest intention. But on the last minute he backed off. She means more than a bestfriend to Dave. She means the world. He had been suppressing his feelings for her, too afraid to lose her with just a wrong move. He's contented to be her friend forever for as long as it means they're never going to get separated till they grew old. Being her bestfriend atleast grants him to all the possible contact he wants with her. He can hold her hand, hug her, kiss her. And the thing that he desired the most. To be one with her. Being offered at him like that was like a one big opportunity he shouldn't have dared missed. But he doesn't want to lose her forever with just one night. He knew if he have her just once, he'll surely die if he can't have her again.
But in his effort to save their precious friendship he had lost her altogether. She started to avoid him. David had just given her time,but he's dying to confront her and asked what he did wrong to deserve such a treatment. But he had never gotten the chance. The day he went at his bestfriend's house, she had flown abroad with her mom. They never got the chance to say their farewell.
"Sir I think you got an admirer." His secretary teased him.
David raked his hand at his hair. On his table lay a simple card with a paperweight, of one of his favourite architectural place, The Eiffel Tower.
Smile someone likes you. Live someone loves you.
HE is a little old for this juvenile things but David couldn't help but smile.
"Are you sure this isn't your idea of a morning joke??" David accused his secretary.
"I swear Sir. When I entered your office it's already there. And besides youre not my type. Youre too grumpy," she grinned. Myra was a 40 year old woman and had been his father's secretary before him.
His cellphone notification rang.
.....DAVE SHE's BACK.......... It was from Alex. His best buddy next to Mikayla ofcourse, If anybody knew how he felt about her, that would be Alex. He didn't need to mention who the SHE, he was referring to. It was taken. He stopped breathing, God. After ten long years finally Mikayla's back. Now he can confront her and leave it all to rest. Have closure.
He was positive he had forgotten about her but just the mention of her name, just the fact that he knew she was back was enough to shatter his system.
"Who did that stupid blueprint??" David demanded from his secretary.
David was in a foul mood this past few days. He know Mikayla's back and yet he's having a hard time finding her whereabouts.
"It was a new employee. A certain Ms Mendez." Myra told him.
"A girl. Call her in." he instructed.
David caught her whiff of perfume when she entered his office. The scent was eerily familiar but he couldn't pinned it down. A two inched heeled office shoes, then a good pair of legs came to view. David's eyes travelled up and he had to catch his breath. Ms Mendez turned out to be a stunning beauty. She smiled and the room seem to lit up.
"Sit down Ms Mendez." David scowled. Get a grip David he muttered at himself. It had been ages since he got a date. He was so hanged up with the past that he had forgotten to live his present social life.
