YOU DAZZLE ME !!!

WEEK NEAR HIM

Half of the day was already over in a click which left me with only the other half to complete my full day's work. May be work will distract me from all the nonsense going through my head. Maybe.

I focused myself in completing the file that was due in time which took my whole time till it was the closing time. I collected my stuff and got ready to leave for the day. I exited my cabin in time, just to bump into a hardrock body. WOW. What a shitty day !!! Even the day-end is so bumpy. Today is just the ROLLERCOSTER day that was missing from my life for a long time.

"Ouch !!! Shit !!! Arrgggghhh !!!"

"Are you fine?"

And just like a mental patient I started throwing words, without thinking and without looking towards the person.

"Yeah, yeah ! Why not ? I'm just super-fine, super-excited, super-..... " and continuing with the blabbering I looked up, to find the one and only person I was trying hard to avoid throughout the rest of the day. There he was, standing in front of me, with an amused smile on his face, and mischievous eyes.

"Shit, shit, shit !!! I'm sorry Sir. I'm so sorry. It's just..... I wasn't looking where I was going. I -I I am....."

"Hey sshhhh. Calm down. I am not hurt but I think you are."

"No sir. I'm g-good. I'm f-f-fine. Ya... ya... I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. Anyways. Do you need a ride home?"

"Huh !!! WHAT? I'm sorry?" Did I hear something wrong. Are my ears not working fine today? Why the hell am I hearing things wrong today? No no. He must be joking. But looking at his face, he looked serious. Why the heck is he offering me a ride? No, no, no. I misheard something. I'm sure.

Sensing my confusion he repeated himself. "I asked you if you need a ride home. Don't start having any wrong ideas. It was a genuine question and I would like to know about the company's environment. I'm new here and you will be my assistant for the following week, so I thought it would be a good idea to know it from you and get comfortable, if possible. Of course, only if you are ok with that."

"Oh ! Ok. That's...that's fine with me." I said and started walking behind him. I was constantly looking at the floor to avoid tripping on anything on my way. Yes, this guy had this kind of effect on me now. He stopped abruptly and turned to face me.

"I'm sorry if I gave a wrong impression with my question earlier." Ending the statement he turned around and started walking towards the lift. I entered the lift after him, and with a ding the doors closed. We were at the 25th floor so I knew it will take time to go down. I wanted to use this time, to study him a little. The way he stood with confidence, with both his hands in his pant pockets. Just his presence was enough to intimidate the whole building. He reeked authority and power from his whole demeanour. I was really awestruck by his persona.

A ding indicated our arrival to the company's garage and without turning he told me to wait near the entrance. I grasp myself and left a sigh after his departure. I stood near the entrance trying hard to distract myself from getting excited. I am actually excited to be near him? SHIT... Yes. I am. God please help me.

Clock was ticking and it completed nearly 4 rounds when I saw a freaking BENTLEY approaching me. Ok ! That was an exasperation, because even I owned... Whatever. BUT STILL. It was a freaking BENTLEY to shout out loud. It was my childhood dream to own one and seeing it in front of me, actually gave me a heart attack. Ok... calm down Divya. You can't react like this. You'll become stupid and then... ok, ok. CALM DOWN, calm down.

"Get in." A voice pulled me out of my reverie and there stood my prince. PRINCE??? What the heck!!! Not again. Get a grip Divya. Get a grip of yourself.
