No time like Today

Luke’s POV

If I could, I would change everything of today, down to the part from opening my eyes to a phone call, no, actually I would start from yesterday,

if I would have known today is going to be this bad, I would have

drank one more glass, maybe that would have helped me face this irritating situation better.

 Yes, I had been enjoying my life in Canada, if we have the same

definition of "enjoying", that is, to wake up and go off to

work,

come home, sleep and repeat. And yes, I do not actually need to eat at

home because there are already enough clients to accompany me for Breakfast,

Lunch and Dinner.

 When you run as big of a company as I do, then, yes this is all the fun you require, need and want.

 And yes, I chose this, I am me, because I like to be.

Well, that is not what I say when I come across the only

person, I could burn the world for, the one who means everything and the

only one who makes all the differences.

Susan Smith, the self-made woman, the woman who has

changed many lives, including mine.

The woman who is adored by millions

and the woman I love the most, the only woman I would ever love.

My heart almost stops as I spot her between a crowd of millions if not thousands,

it doesn’t surprise me that even after 3 years she is the only one I see. She

is the only one I have ever seen anyways, until…

 Sigh….

 Somethings never change…

I take in the clear view towards the exit gate only to be obstructed by

my co-worker as she congratulates me on the profit of our company.

Yes, our globally renowned

jewelry brand, Glamorous Pearl, has achieved an impressive 30%

profit increase, and has achieved 1st place in the list of the only 3 best jewelry brands

in the world.

Now, to celebrate the victory, I am stuck here.

‘Stuck’ as in, both mentally and physically, or I would say, was, cause

right now, I am using all my mental capacity to think of a way out of here.

I say a quick thank you to her and inspect the doorway for any more

potential interrupter, and when I find none, I am determined to exit this

swarming-with-people-place.

‘Luke…’

My breath hitches, as I hear my name with the same voice, the same

softness,

I could melt in it.

But I cannot.

I turn,

my lips curving into a practiced smile, and meet the gaze of the woman who could potentially rule over me.

 ‘Well, hello to you too…’ I say with a solemn face

She smiles politely

but her eyes…

Those eyes…

 I take her in as she says,

'Congratulations on your big achievements’

 'Thank you,’ I murmur,

As I try hard to look away from her, but I am too captivated to do so.

 She fidgets, as if sensing my gaze,

‘Bet you are happy on your dreams

coming true.’

My dreams….

I am dazed at the mention of it,

my mind takes me couple of years back. But I recover from

it quickly

 I give the shortest reply

possible, ‘Sure I am’

 She sighs this time, and

looks straight into my eyes

‘Luke, I am glad to see you today.’

‘I am too’ I reply and she nods,

 ‘Will I be seeing you tomorrow too?’ she enquires

 And I know where this is going, and I shouldn’t let it happen, I

shouldn’t do this I wouldn't do it no matter what.
