Fire On Fire

We walk into the conference room,
and i feel the room oozing with male testosterone, as i join the six men already in their seats.

I walk with Silas to a couple of empty chairs, and make myself comfortable.

Then two more people walk into the room after us, and it appears it's who everyone was waiting for, because the room instantly quiets down.

I look more closely at them and my heart nearly beats out of my chest, when i recognize one of them.....Marco.

I have to do a double take, just to make sure I am seeing right, and this time.....our eyes make eye contact as he sits down, and I swear, I see his lips twitch a little.

My mouth goes dry, and my ears start ringing.

It's him again!

Fate is clearly playing a dirty little game with me.

Suddenly, it feels like the room is shrinking in size, and we are the only two people in here, because I swear, i can feel his gaze on me.

But I choose to focus on the tablet on the table reflecting the agenda instead, and the someone starts updating the information, as the meeting progresses.

"Marco, what do you think?" someone asks, and interested, i follow everyone's line of sight to him.

Suddenly it dawns on me.

I look down at the screen again, and swipe to the list of attendees, and read his name in full.

Marco Bishop.

Wait, 'Marco Bishop?' as in 'Bishop', the name that is displayed in bold letters on the front of this multi story building?

I look up and find that he is no longer talking, but looking at me with a satisfied and proud look on his face, as if he can read my mind.

Shit!

*****

Marco Bishop is the youngest of the Bishop brothers, he is wealthy and privileged, and maybe a bit too impulsive for his own good.

For Antonella, there is no place for a man like Marco, and everything he represents, in her life.

..but after a chance meeting one winter night on a building rooftop, Can either one of them really walk away.
