Let The Flames begin

Our Apart

I was staring at him as he stood just yards away, his face covered by black body paint. He was mysterious and have occupied my dreams for the past six months. His black hair tossed in the wind, and as I grew closer the perfect impressions of his coat became more relevant.

The more and more I got the harder it became to breathe. Suffocating just to see the man who had become a staple in my dream worlds.

I woke gasping for breath as i stared at the ceiling listening to my alarm clock ring. It 8:15 and I'd be working the whole day.

Getting up from my bed I tossed my clothes until I found my work uniform which consisted of a white shirt and black pants. Putting on a thick line of gel eyeliner and walking out to my car I felt the day could drag on. It'd be a definite long day.

Locking the car doors after I walked out I clocked into work.

"Ruby! Thank god you're here. Can you take a few of these for me?" Amber said handing me a tray full of customers. Who were all sitting in the waiting room and, There he was. Maybe, it wasn't him but it looked a damn awful lot like him.

"Ugh yeah okay. I was supposed to be stocking today."

"Well that could wait. This can't Ella wants these people looked over some are for applications somme need assistance." Amber snipped, I sighed and looked through the crate. The first person was an application: Gina McGonal.

After hours of sifting through the pile I was one person away from completing.

"Uhm, Chris Cerulli?" I called looking up as the man stood. We both froze, In astonishment I knew who he was now.

"You needed help?" I mumbled he cocked a smile and nodded.

"Yeah I had asked Ella if I could get my thing from her office." He said, I bit my lip trying to remember if I had seen him before in Ella office. Shaking my head, I smiled.

"I can definitely do that." I said grabbing the list of things Ella owned.

"Right this way." I had been working in this modelling business for a bit. A bit being too long.

We took the next elevator to the top floor. A long way up.

"So tell me i'm not the only one." he mumbled I looked at him as he stepped toward me each time i got closer to the wall.

"I don't know." I whispered.

"I dream of you Ruby."

"Then no you're not the only one." I whispered our lips just inches apart when the door opened. He pushed off of me and grinned. I caught my breath and walked out of the elevator looking down at the paper.
