4 Minute Encounter

I woke up early this morning, earlier than needed be, but my body wouldn't allow me to fall back into a blissful slumber. Work started at 9:45am today, but instead of awaking at 8am as planned, I woke at 6am. Something within me felt almost glittery, maybe due to the nervous clench of my heart. Why I felt this feeling I truly don't know, but it kept me unease. I laid in my sheets of comfort for a good 20 minutes checking my notifications before I eagerly climbed out of bed. I had a 30 minute shower before hydrating my skin with coco butter and lavender oil. As I reentered my bedroom with a towel wrapped around me, I decided on what I was going to wear, which was a black - trouser- suit with the same cream heels I wore yesterday, with a cream blouse. My hair, not my true hair, but my weave, I straightened and slicked it back into a neat midpoint ponytail. As usual I did my edges neatly and subtly.

For breakfast I decided to make a bacon and cheese sandwich with barbecue sauce within, and a cup of coffee. By now it was 7:30 meaning I have until 9am to leave the apartment. I wanted to be at work quite early to make sure I had everything ready for my hectic load. I knew today was going to be tough, mainly because I'm going to do a lot of referrals.

Once it hit 8am I was looking online for bus times, there was two buses I could catch, the 9am which I have to walk further to and has four stops until the one outside my workplace, or the 8:30am one that was right outside the apartment, but had eight stops. As I'm already ready for work and have nothing better to do I decided to catch the earlier bus. I left at 8:20. The scenery I would endure on my way would be good for me also, and I estimated the time I would get there so I'm sure I'd be on time if not still a bit more earlier for work.

I brushed my teeth before preparing and heading off to work. Today I had a hunch that something was going to happen. Well, we'll see...
...

Work was work, not highly interesting until break. That sexy caramel darling approached me as I made my way to the cafeteria to grab a snack and drink.

"Hey! I'm Brianós, and I'm from Brazil." He said as he sat down opposite me.

"Nice to meet you, Haniyah, but hannah is also fine." I smile.

"So if you don't mind my company or me asking, what brought you here?" He smiled before sipping on his flask.

"Well I already worked in a partnership/branch with/in this company so I found a better opportunity by transferring. And you?" I asked with a friendly smile on my face.

"Oddly enough my grandparents live here. So all my life when visiting them here, in South Korea, I decided I really like the lifestyle and should give it a try. I went university here and now I'm fortunately at this company."He said proudly, and so he should.

" Interesting." I nodded, sort of in agreement with my own statement.

" I guess." he shrugged."Hannah, why South Korea though?" He raised an eyebrow as he took another sip of his drink.

"I learnt Korean at school, and I had a choice between here or Germany, but I don't know any German. I wasn't interested in learning it either, plus I wanted to see if I was ever granted the opportunity to work at the HQ of this company, which is here, and luckily for me I was. When I started learning Korean properly something just intrigued me to this place, regardless of its controversial-self." I elaborated with a slight shrug.

" Hmm.. " He observed me as if he was suddenly deep in thought. "Interesting." He finished as I giggled. This man was so handsome I just didn't understand what he sees in me.

I then began observing his beauty. He had neat brown dreads that was tied up in a bun, which I found so attractive. He had sort of slanted eyes, which contained sharp Hazel irises. Everytime he stared at me I felt like pray. He looked not much older than me, despite the specs of gray on his beard. He was just hot.
