Dark Love

Chapter Two

Mia charged up the stairs, not wanting to be late. She entered the office and she saw the usual, the accountant whispering to himself, her crazy co-workers running up and down and an empty spot that belonged to her.

"Morning Mia!"George greeted.

"Morning."she greeted back.

"Hey lovie, got juicy gossips for you!"Jade whispered.

"Spill."Mia smirked.

"Max proposed!"she squealed.Mia hugged her friend tightly and congratulated her.

"I'm happy for you!"Mia gushed.

"I know!"she blushed.

"Aw...we'll talk during lunchtime okay? I gotta run. I'm late!" Mia said as she ran towards her desk. She placed her handbag on her desk and she combed her hair with her fingers. She didn't run away because she was late.

"Time to get busy." she muttered under her breath.

She sat on her chair and she began working. As a secretary, you have to be punctual and you have to keep your workplace organized. She packed all her agendas and documents in their drawers.

When she was done, the phone rang. She sighed heavily and she cleared her throat. She tried to concentrate on answering the phone and cleared the images of that handsome but thick-headed mechanic off her mind.

"Sonny Enterprises, how may I help you?"

"Why hello my son!" the baker greeted Todd as he neared the bakery.Todd smiled at the fat old man.

"Hey pops."he greeted. "How's it going?"

"Good, good! Can't complain." the baker said while arranging sandwiches on a tray.

"Order 52!" he called out. Then a man and a woman walked up to the counter and thanked the baker. They then walked back to their seats and held hands.

"Ahh, love is in the air for those two."the baker sighed. Todd rolled his eyes.

"You should get yourself a girlfriend son.A man as good-looking and as young as you shouldn't stay single for such a long time."

"None of my relationships worked, you know that."Todd said as he took a doughnut from a tray and took a big bite. “Besides, who needs a girlfriend when you have pleasant female companies all night long?"

"Things change my boy."the baker patted his shoulder.

"Not for me. I've learned my lesson, oh believe me I have." he said as he shoved the last bite into his mouth and left the bakery. The baker leaned on the counter and watched him walk away. He sighed and resumed his work.

Todd wandered off the streets by himself, thinking about life. His life. He couldn't stop thinking about his past loves. He had so many.

His first love was the one that marked him the most. Donatella. Oh what a woman she was. She was vibrant, sexy and with no doubt and beautiful woman.But, it didn't work out for them, and it was all his fault.

His most recent girlfriend, Gabriella, was the sweetest girl ever. She was always smiling and she had an attractive voice.She was all he needed until the incident happened. He lived his life reminiscing on the past, that's why he never moved forwards. He was always miserable.

He couldn't help but wonder why the same thing happens over and over again. He can't stop the cycle,and he suffers a lot. Always the same old bullshit over and over again. His bad habits always take the most of it.

That's why he decided that he's better off on his own. He decided to block out any woman that comes his way, but ever since yesterday, it has become a little difficult.

He can't take that woman out of his head. She was so beautiful, and she smelled so good. That suit looked so good on her, hugged her body perfectly.

But.

There's always that little word that contradicts everything you say. But. She was vicious, and ferocious. He didn't think a woman could be as feisty. He didn't know her, but he could guess she was the original pain in the ass.

She looked so angry. She dared to yell at him. He chuckled lightly. That was the exact sort of thing that made him ditch his women. He didn't tolerate abusive women with dirty mouths. He liked the submissive ones, the ones that obeyed silently. Women like her made him lose his mind.

He could only imagine her in his arms,but he knows that she will have the same destiny the others had. He can't control himself, and he never will. It wasn't his fault. He wasn't to blame for chewing on a lion's bone when he was younger. His mother was.

His muscles were always toned, and his erection seemed eternal. No woman satisfied his needs as he wished them to. No woman was up to his standards. Only one woman was, but she was long gone now.

He had to focus on new targets, and the red Porsche seemed like a good place to start off. Women like blondie made him want to change them, which made the game so much more interesting.

He would have fun, and maybe a little romance. That he guaranteed.
