Save me from myself

Real thing

I woke up early to go to work. She was still sleeping when I left. I left a sticky note on her phone.

"Good Morning Sunshine!
Breakfast on the table. Just lock the door when you leave."

Then I wrote my cellphone number at the butom.

At work, walking along the hallway I greet everyone I bump in. "Good morning! How are you?" "Hi! Good morning!" I even speak in different languages. "Ciao! Buon Giorno" "Hola! Buenos Dias"

I walk around the production floor to do a touch base to my subordinates.

"Madam! You look different today!" Said by one of my agent.

"Differently good or bad?"

She looked at my eyes and teased me. "Whatever, or should I say WHOEVER? made you glow today, keep it or no, HER" then she giggle

I tap her shoulder and lead her to her post. I clap my hands to get everyone's attention. "Okay guys, you have 10 mins to get ready. I want everybody log-in at exactly six o'clock" "keep the money flowing! Let's do this!"

In my station, I was reading emails. But I can't comprehend. My head keep on visualizing everything happened last night. It was the most passionate sex I ever had. And every time I picture it, it makes me shiver.

At 9am I proceed to the board room for our weekly read out. The meeting had started. My eyes are fixedly staring the speaker. I am physically present in the room but mentally absent. In my mind I am feeling anxious. It's 9am, she is working at 10am, she was suppose to leave my place by 7am. Why didn't she sent me SMS? Did she overslept? I'm sure I set the alarm before I left. Is this going to be one of the thing I have in the past? Waaaaah!!! I was screaming in my head.

I can hear everyone is talking but I am not just paying attention to details. I didn't know that our Director is asking for my input. "Your thoughts Val?" "Val?" One of my peer nudge me.

"Huh??"

Are you with us?

Someone seated beside me whisper "he is asking for your action plan to minimize our compliance defect"

"Oh yah I'm sorry, I was trying to gather my thoughts. Hmmm what I am doing is I collate all defects we have, not just for my line of business but also for the whole program. I analyze the data, look at the trend and providebreal time feedback. This will create awareness and urgency to my people."

"Yeah, I like that. Why don't you initiate a project about it and lead your peers"

"Sure, I'll come up with a presentation and by next week I'll send a calendar invite for a road show"

"Good! I'll count on that"

Whew! Good thing I know the business so well and I was able to make a way out.

The meeting is over, yet I didn't get a text from her. Everyone noticed that my mood changed. I am losing hope. Should I go to the gym to see if she'll be there? Nah! It's so obvious that I'm so much into her. If she will not contact me it means it was just a one night stand. Grrrrrr! Why am I feeling this way?? I should know that.

My phone beep. My heart pounded so hard. Oh God! I don't want to check my phone. I press the home button, to my disappointment it was a telemarketing message. Grrrr! I almost threw my phone.

After a while my phone beep again. It was unknown number.
"Hey, thanks for letting me stay in your place. My battery got empty and I wasn't able to charge 'til I got here in the office. So how's your day so far?"

Whohoooo! It was not one of those things! She message me! She did!
