Expect The Unexpected

"That's Agnus"

Woke up in the morning without much sleep and is expecting a normal day like any other day except, today I was thinking of my fake husband. Will I be able to see him soon?

While walking to work, my normal routine changed. What if he's driving a car? What if he's one of the people walking to work? He probably rides a bicycle. Why am I thinking of this guy too much? He just held my shoulders and called me his 'wife'.

As soon as I enter my work building, a man entered the building too. He smiled and gave way. Here I am, staring with my eyes wide open, unexpected to see him here.

"Oh. Isn't it Miss Clumsy?", he said.

Great. I'm miss clumsy to him. There goes a chance to impress him.

"Sorry", as I apologize to him for bumping him or for being clumsy?

"See you around, again", as he enters the building like he's been here before.

I wonder if we were working under one roof. Nervous goosebumps all over me.

Seems like a meeting is occuring while I work and still can't stop thinking of him, and then I was called out by my colleague.

"Scarlet, please take down the notes in the meeting", Joane told me as she was in a hurry.

I quickly grabbed my ballpen and paperpads and hurried to the meeting room. As I entered the room, all eyes were on the white board. Later than I realized, a familiar person was presenting his work. I kept on staring at him and Joane nudged me.

"I know he's cute Scarlet but you've got some writing to do", Joane reminded me.

"Sorry", I responded and starts taking down notes. "Joane? Who is he anyway?", I asked. I just need to know him. If I know him, I'll get over him quickly.

"That's Agnus. He's been working with us for a week now. He was transferred from the Philippines. He's your fellow people", as Joane felt happy for me.

Agnus. Such a unique name for a filipino. I wonder where he lives in the Philippines. I wonder how old he is. I wonder if he'll be here for long. I also wonder when will I stop wondering about him.

The meeting ended successfully and our boss applauded, impressed by Agnus' presentation. As I exit the room, I took a quick glance at Agnus for the last time and turned away quickly, awkward and shy.

I caught him looking at me. Showing that dimpled smile again. But why? Why am I craving to know more about him?

I didn't expext I'd be interested in a guy like him.
