"I went to sleep last night with a smile because I knew I'd be dreaming of you, but I woke up this morning with a smile because you weren't a dream." – Unknown

I remember when I was twelve, my parent's laughter would wake me up every morning. After searching for the source, I would always find them waltzing around the living room.

They were so mesmerized with each other, they wouldn't even notice I entered the room, until I made a noise loud enough. It was like a game. The moment I caught their gaze my dad would pull me closer en we would dance together. I was squeezed between them and always tried to escape. Looking back, I would give up anything just for a minute back in their arms.

I was brought out of my daydreaming with thé screeching sound of my boss's voice reminding us of all the hard work we had to do today.

"-and remember we're getting a visit from the CEO today. He's going to observe how you preform with judgements far greater then any you experienced in high school."

I stopped listening after that. I was too busy trying to calm my racing heart. I hated attention on me. It gave me anxiety like you couldn't believe. I never wanted to be in the spot light. I'd much rather be stuck behind the scenes.

I don't even like anyone I work with, except my best friend Sandy, not that I know anyone else. Speaking of Sandy:

"Girl, you really need to stop spacing out like that"

Deciding not to answer her verbally, I just shrug my shoulders. I know she isn't really impressed with my response but, I guess, she chose not to comment on it.

After going our separate ways and entering my office. I began reading manuscripts. My job was simple and I enjoyed it a lot. I had to read through manuscripts of my editors clients and send the best ones to him. It was basically my dream job. There isn't a lot of jobs where you get payed to read secluded from people.

While reading, time seemed to fly buy. I lost all sense of my surroundings. I didn't even hear my door opening, that's why his deep, honey-like, voice startled me.

"Miss Winters?"

Setting the book I was busy with down in record time, all my attention was on the man, no model, in-front of me. I was awestruck. He was tall, really tall, muscular, with rich brown eyes, long lashes framing them, dark locks of hair, plumb, kissable lips and a jaw line, like the ones you usually see on social media.

"Miss Winters." , he repeated with more certainty.

Finally snapping out of it I reply: "Yes, can I help you Sir?"

"Well if you're done checking me out, I'd like a turn too."

Then the unthinkable happend. A grin streched across his face. I was dumbfounded.
