Aria is living the life of a normal person and yet her world is about to change when she met Austin. The connection between them felt peculiar as they started to get along. Aria keeps dreaming of past events and Austin was there. She needed answers...
I stood there having the nostalgic feeling; more than a mere reminisce. I have an unusual feeling that I have met this man before yet it left me with absurd images.
"Ye-yes Mr.Bates" I stuttered as I loss my sense of attention as this peculiar man is about to take my soul.
"Great! Now prepare the studio for me and show me the ideas afterwards."
I nodded and took the paper that Mr.Bates handed me for the overview of the Music festival. Then I proceeded to the studio located on the 5th floor and started to set up as soon as I got here.
Why can't you function well? This is not you Aria. You could have made a mistake moments ago because of your subconscious mind!
I sigh while I was having a small argument with myself. I continued to fix the light that is above the studio background since it has been hanging there for ages. I have to turn it on manually.
"Perfect!" I beamed when I got the exact lightings in place. I hurriedly stepped down the ladder when all of a sudden I slipped. For a second I was stricken with horror then the next thing I felt was an arm wrapped around beneath my breast and I was spooked by a hand filled with veins.
I haven't remember having a colleague with such sexy features.
"Be careful" I heard a mans voice chuckled, I quickly stood up and fixed myself. As I shifted my gaze to the one who saved me, It was the attractive man at the office.
"How long have you been standing there?"
He gave me a half smile, "Don't you know how to thank people?"
I blushed and looked down unable to meet his eyes out of embarassment. "I'm sorry for being rude. Thank you"
"It's alright" he said in a lovely deep voice and went over in the middle of the studio where I was going to photograph him.
"So let's start" he slightly flap his arms in the air with his dreamy smile.
I took my make up set to give him a light and presentable look for the people to see it through papers and media. As I was fixing his hair with hair spray I felt a comfortable and pleasant energy between us when my skin touches his.
A sting of unknown affection ran down into my blood and veins. I try to envision the dreams I had few days ago if it made any sense yet there's none.
"The necklace" he started "It's beautiful." he said softly while he was reaching out for the necklace that is visible on my V-neck outfit.
"My mom said it's an archaic type of necklace. Someone gave it to my mother as a gift when I was a baby"
"You know that person who gave it?"
"No, she says it's a question that I'll have to find on my own."
He portrays a genuine smile that I was caught-off guard; a peculiar man indeed. I walk towards the camera station to start shooting and guiding him the appropriate pose to his personality and appearance.
As my eyes were on the viewfinder of the camera, I traced his flawlessly curved features. I felt a moment of confusion when I was trying to remember a memory.
This is wrong, I shouldn't be thinking this way.
I finish clicking my last ten shots and I lamely excused myself that I was going to do something important at my office. I can't bare the situation right now. He just smiled and didn't mind that I obviously made it up. I walk out from the studio and headed to my office.
Before I went to my office I passed by at Drake's office to check up on him. To my surprise I saw his ex-girlfriend in a black formal suit sitting at his chair whenever there's a business promotion to be discussed. Why is she here?
"Hi Aria" She called out across the office with her forced smile. I did not like and nor does she. She was the bitter ex-girlfriend of Drake and now she had the guts to show up.
"Vivian, I'm surprised that you're here"
"Well Drake and I are having business promotion. Didn't he tell you that we arranged a said date?" She grinned "Oh you're not aware? Poor Aria"
The nerve of this woman,"Very well, proceed to your so called business promotion" I stormed out at his office and Drake chased me while calling out for me.
"Business promotion huh?" I said in a angry tone
"I was about to tell you! Can you calm down and listen?"
"You want me to calm down? Get out!"
Sadness clouded his features and went out without saying a word. I buried my face at my hands and let out a heavy sigh.
I looked at my office window and the weather outside sets a dark and gloomy sky.
Odd.
