"I don't need a man." I mumbled to myself on my way to work on Monday morning, rolling my eyes at the text messages that kept pouring in from Ben.
And Liv, being the sweetheart she is, actually managed to take some time out of her cuddle time with my brother to join in on his nonsense.
Liv> Still sweaty from Saturday night Val? I still can't believe you hooked up at my wedding! I still can't believe you hooked up, period!
Ben> Ooooh you should've seen her mama! She looked like she had been blessed by the gods... All glowy and stuff! Do you think we could find this man? You should know everyone that was at your wedding right?
Val> Guys please. You are soooo dramatic. We aren't finding anyone!
I put my phone back in my purse as the car pulled up to the office. Phil got out to open the door for me and I thanked him, getting out.
"Phil," I said just as he was about to get back in the car. "Do you think I need a man? I mean, does my life seem incomplete to you?"
Phil looked uncomfortable with the question but he answered nevertheless. "No Miss Ilan. You are one of the strongest, most accomplished women I know."
I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Phil. You're the best driver in the world."
"Thank you Miss Ilan." He said getting in the car.
I walked into the building with newfound courage. I was well accomplished and courageous.
Then why were my insides still begging for a certain stranger's touch?
"Good morning Miss Ilan. Mr Moosa said to tell you to meet him in the conference room." The receptionist said as I passed by her desk.
"Thanks Abigail." I replied with a small smile. I really didn't like her, I didn't even know why. Was that normal?
I took out my phone as I waited for the elevator. And as expected, they were still going on and on about me.
Liv> I can totally find out who he is. I have such a good feeling about this!! What did he look like? Val?
Ben> Oh she's totally ignoring us. Well from what I heard, he had grey eyes, tall and clean facial hair. Wait, was it blue eyes? I'm not sure. Val!?!!
