We are looking at each other with eyes full of love and our fingers intertwined. The way he is looking at me makes me feel shy and I blush. It makes him smile and I get a glimpse of his lips. "So soft ", I murmur. He gently lifts my chin to kiss me. He begins to move his lips slowly, teasingly bitting my lips and suddenly he grabs my waist and pulls me closer pressing his lips fulling on my mine making my heart beat fast. My brains cells stop working and I go into the different dimension." Oh boy, this is sexy ", I scream in my mind. Parting his lips he whispers in my ears "I love you princess. Will you marry me?"
Overwhelmed by his sudden proposal I burst into tears and say "YESSSSSSSSS!!!". We both laugh and hug each other. Suddenly, he pushes me away and I am little taken aback by his behaviour. Now he has a serious look on his face and he says, "Sorry babe but not in this life." Tears roll down my cheek.
"You are joking right? Tell me this is some kind of prank." I politely ask him.
" No its not a prank and I am not joking. I do not want to marry you because I don't love you. I never did." He starts to walk away after saying this..
And I am running after him and begging him not to leave. I am shouting and screaming but he seems unbothered and leaves. "He is gone." I murmur in disbelief.
" He is gone! He is gone!!!" I screamed in pain and woke up in panick.
Holy shit!!! another nightmare. I sit straight in order to calm my racing heart. I am drenched in the sweat and out of breath. " Great!,this panic attack is going kill me one day." I look outside my window and it's still dark. I wipe my wet cheeks and wonder if I can fall asleep after this. I get up, drink some water and again slide under the blankets. My thoughts never leave my head. I have been suffering for months now. It gets difficult each passing day. No sleep, no appetite and no motivation to live. My life is a mess and I don't know if I can be happy ever again. My fairytale became a nightmare... well a "sweet" nightmare! His betrayal has hit me hard. I regret for loving him so much.He was everything to me ..everything! Center of my universe. He left me just like that. It hurts more when you realise that everything was a lie. Even fairytales are a lie. Since childhood, I had always believed in fairytales. Being an adult, I secretly hoped for a fairytale where I am the princess and my prince charming will take me away one day and love me till his last breath. Sweet right??I laugh at myself thinking how naive and innocent I was. In reality..there are no fairytales, no princess and no prince charming. I need to accept this reality as soon as possible.
"OMG! I am going to be late!!"I could not sleep well after the nightmare. I hop out of the bed to get ready. I wash up and wear the best suitable dress from my wardrobe. As I look in mirror to put some makeup on.. "WTF... I have big dark circles under my eye and I look so pale, tired and ugly!!" I manage to cover my ugly face with my makeup skills that I had learnt from youtube videos. " Better!! You are going to rock it!" Satisfied with the look and little motivation ..I leave for the job.
It is my dream job and I have worked very hard to get this position. After my breakup, only this achievement has kept me going. I reach the location and.." Wow!! such a huge building.. cannot believe I will be working here from now on. Proud of you girl!", I praise myself. It is the main financial organisation of the country which comes under the government and I got lucky to get the position in the headquaters. It is like dream come true.
I enter the building and walk towards the reception area, the girl greets me with smile, "Good morning maam, how can I help you?"
I smile back and reply" Good morning. My name is Rose Wilson and today is my first day here. Can you please tell me where newcomers are supposed to report?".
The girl guides me. "She is so polite and friendly." I tell to myself as I follow her lead.
We reach our destination and the girl leaves. It is a huge hall where all the newcomers are told to wait until further instruction. I look around and find an empty seat. "Oh God, I feel nervous.There are so many people here. I hope to make few good friends." People who reached before me has already introduced themselves to eachother.
As I am lost in thoughts I do not realise someone is calling me, " Hey, is this seat taken? Excuse me dear?? hey?? can I sit here?" I look at direction of the voice. It is a female voice. She points at the seat beside me where I have kept my bag. I immediately come to my senses and grab my bag..
" Ohh yeah..sure you can sit here. Sorry I was lost in thoughts." I smile at her.
" No problem dear. You look nervous." She says.
" Yeah, a bit." I nod ageering to her.
" Don't worry. It is same for everyone but some are good at hiding it and some are not. I am nervous too. By the way, Hi I am Ivy Anderson and nice to meet you." She extends her hand to me and I do the same. " Hi Ivy, I am Rose Wilson and nice to meet you too." We smile at eachother.
The welcome ceremony starts and the senior person who might be at the higher position gives a motivational speech and congratulates us for our success.. "Congratulations to all the new officers again and best luck everyone." There is a great applause after he ends his speech.
Later, we are called to complete other formalities.
Ivy and I start to get along in the process. I start to feel that we are
going to be good friends in the future.
After the formalities, we are told to go home and start the work from tomorrow...
I get home and go straight in the bed as I have no appetite..It was a great day. Hope I will get a good sleep today.
Its been a week since I joined the organisation. Everything was going well. Ivy and I had become good friends and we got the same department. I managed to make more new friends .So was always a good day at work..I was loving my new life!
"Rose, it's friday today..lets hit the club tonight?" Ivy wanted to celebrate our friendship.
"Girl..it has been a hectic week and I am tired. How about next friday?" To be honest I just wanted to be alone. After what happened in past I seldom went out.
"Don't be a drag. Everyone from our department have some plans,also Sara and Jake are ready to join us." I knew Ivy would not let it go easily..She has been planning since two days now and I had no valid reason to escape this thing.
"Ok fine! Lets go." Ivy jumped in excitment and informed other two. We both decided to get ready at Ivy's place.
*At ivy's place*
"Hey, do you think your clothes will fit me?". I asked her.
" Don't you worry darling..I have a perfect dress for you!" Ivy seemed confident about her choice. Few moments later she came with a black dress and made me wear it.
" WTF... This dress fits you perfectly Rose. You look so hot and sexy! You gonna turn heads today queen!"
I stood in front of mirror. "Holy shit!! This dress is too sexy Ivy.I cannot wear something like this. I just want to be comfortable and have fun with you all." It was a bodycon and one shoulder dress which ended up just above mid thigh length exposing my legs.. it covered my left hand till wrist.. It looked elegant but at the same time too short for me to handle.
Ivy insisted on this dress so I had no choice. I paired it with high heels and a simple makeup. I had straight hair so I opted to keep them down and simple. I wore red lipstick to complete my look. Ivy wore a short maroon dress and she looked stunning. By the time we reached the nightclub..Sara and Jake were already waiting for us. We all went in.
"Wow..this club is amazing! I am glad I came here!" I suddenly had a mood change. I was loving the atmosphere. Loud music and people grooving. Everyone seemed excited.
"Guys, lets hit the floor!!" Ivy screamed and dragged everyone on the dance floor.
As I was a good dancer I could not hold myself back and started to move. I was dancing like nobody's watching me. But soon I realised someone's eyes on me. "I might be overthinking" I thought.
" Rose, that guy is staring at you from 20 mins now." Ivy and Sara noticed. Jake was at the bar counter. We decided to join Jake. The guy followed us but stood away from us leaning on the wall opposite to us and staring back at me.
" What a weirdo!!" I said,annoyed.
" I think that guy wants to talk to you Rose." Jake said.
" I am not letting Rose do anything like that. Who stares like that! It's creepy." Ivy was worried.
" Guys, if he wants to talk, he will come to me instead of staring. Lets not ruin our night because of this. Also, Jake is with us if anything happens." Everyone agreed and we resumed our fun.
