Second Round Romance in the Heights

The Moving on - 2

    "Did you not sleep last night?", with a sarcastic smile he asked. "I did, but something's bothering me so I tend to wake-up every now and then...", casual she replied. Marian noticed Reynold's stare even without looking at him. "Hey!eyes on the road", she said to destruct the stare and let him focus on driving.

   "Am I too ugly today?", she ask. "Yes! You're ugly becoz you don't have a lover", with a sarcastic smile again. "Guess you need a good one...like me", he added with a wink. She blushed but she don't want Reynold to notice it. So she open her shoulder bag and bow her head, as if she's looking for something in it.

  "How's Monique?I seldom see her...", she asked. Monique is the long time girlfriend of Reynold and a friend to Marian. "She's okey, she's busy with her career", he replied with a slight loneliness in his eyes. "Let us not talk about her now", he added. She look at him with confusion but can't say a word.

    As they arrived at the lobby of her owned hotel, Reynold bid goodbye. Marian look at Reynold as he walk away from the building. "What a handsome man with a perfect build", she said to herself.
   
    After she realized what she had been thinking, she blushed and got embarrassed. She walk directly to her office to avoid anyone to notice her embarrassment.

    In the elevator, she's still thinking of how Reynold helped her in many ways. Of how his late-hour and nonsense messages helped her laugh, his delicious recipes in the morning and evening and there are so many to mentions...

   "Do we have a chance?", she thought.

    She wake herself from that absurd thoughts..."Where did it came from?", she asked herself and took a cup of tea to calm herself.

   Marian is simple yet very elegant woman, she wears light make-ups but her radiant and beautiful fair skin and kissable lips made her attractive. Her curvaceous body complimented her complexion. All could turn their heads if they see her and nobody could resist her charm.

   Although she's almost perfect, her husband was an excemption to that. He stopped being interested in her when their likes and dislikes didn't meet. Let's just say they are not really meant for each other.
