Claimed

'You liked it?' she asks

'I couldn't have loved anything more, this is the most beautiful gift I have ever received' I say.

As I wear the beauty around my neck.

This locket is a symbol of me being claimed.

Claimed by her.

I am an atheist, and have always been, but she is a believer.

For the sake of life, she wouldn't keep ANYONE ahead of Christ.

(Now, I'm not even exaggerating when I emphasize 'anyone')

Not even me, not even her little brother whom she loves the most.

Yep, I come third in line of loved ones and I don't mind, I don't even mind being the Last one because we ain't talking about just any women here,

We are talking about Susan, she just gives her all, even if one is the last person of the list.

But with this locket she has connected me with everything she loves and for her I wouldn't mind going to any lengths,

even if it means attending a sermon

(that is, just looking at her for 3 hours straight, I can do that easily and for forever)

BACK TO PRESENT

Sigh...

True indeed, short are the good days and long the bad ones.

I wrap my arms tight around the memory-filled locket keeping it closer to my chest and try my best to have some rest,

As I have tried for the last 3 years,

And when I couldn't sleep,

I grab the pills kept on the nightstand as if it has now become my reflex, and soon I am consumed by sleep.

*The Next Day*

Today,

is a beautiful day,

Days like these,

I love,

I live,

#officedays

or you could even call it another #busyday it's nice to have a busy day, one doesn't get no time to worry about anything in this world

just work work and work. (I can do that, work's best for me, all puns intended)

As soon as I step inside the doors of the company Simon, my PA follows me and briefs me AGAIN about yesterday's event, I roll my eyes,

As if I wasn't PRESENT in the event

Yet, paying no heed to my obvious uninterestness he just continues

 (I know there's no such word as uninterestness, but let's be honest you get the meaning)

"....after you left, Mr. Damian too left immediately..."

Another rolling of my eyes,

I mean...who cares what Damian did after I left?

Except of course I have to know it,

To tell you the truth, having a younger brother is a headache, but having an adopted brother is an invited headache.

One can only Sigh as I do

But to no avail Simon stops he just keeps going on until we are in the elevator.

"....though Miss. Susan initially...."

Susan, now that piqued my interest

I mean, visibly

And he just stares at me for a second, which almost felt like a minute silence.

And yes ofcourse I'm already on edge now

So with irritation I say,

"WHAT? Continue!"

This time he is the one to Sigh (and yep I'm pleasured)

"Though Miss Susan initially was found to be quite thrilled about the event" he continues "it was noted that she was very drunk when she left."

Then he looks at me and says

"Which I presume to be very unusual"

That was no report, that was his opinion.

No one more than me would understand what he's trying to state here.

Susan never gets drunk, that's losing composure and adds to some bad memories.

To be put in proper words she hates drinking.

So yes, I'm left wondering what made her drunk? Our meet? Or something else?
