It was just another lifeless day at the office as I rummage through piles of paperwork the size of mountains and working on a computer that is so antiquated, sometimes I think that cave dwellers used this computer.
It seems like my stress level is at an "all time high", my nerves are almost to the point of being "comfortably numb" and my mental status is at the brink of making Von Gogh look fairly sane.
Suddenly, my phone rings and at the other end of the line was my boss requesting me to report to his office for an important meeting. With a foreboding sigh, I rise to my feet and gradually meander over to my boss's office.
I respectfully knock upon the office door as I arrive and briefly gaze into the office, while humanistic shadows seem to float around like spirits in a haunted house movie. As the door opens, I enter and notice a beautiful woman sitting in a chair in front of the office desk.
She rises and our gazes meet as my boss introduces me to my "new boss", since he will be retiring within a few months. We cordially shake hands and exchange pleasant hellos as my former boss respectfully leaves so that we can be better acquainted.
I could not help noticing her feminine yet sleek and sophisticated designer suit that clung to her curvaceous frame like a beautifully wrapped Christmas present while her facial features resembles a Greek goddess.
Therefore, we sit in our respectable chairs and she begins by introducing herself formally while she gives a general yet fairly detailed description of her past work experience and what she did and did not expect of me.
After what seemed to be the most pleasant meeting I have had in a while, I gradually meander back to my little cubicle to drudge through the mounds of paperwork that needed to be finished.
The weeks go by as our professional relationship grows, as we become a finely tuned business machine, while our personal friendship grows equally as quick.
One day, as I about to take my lunch break, my boss asks if she can join me. I cheerfully smile and gladly accept her accompaniment to lunch. We casually walk to a nearby luncheonette, order some food, walk to a nearby public green and sit at a picnic table that is gently nestled amongst some lilac trees.
We partake in casual, non-work related conversation as we acquaint each other on a more personal level. Our conversation meanders all around, from past relationships to politics, fun and recreation to things in general and everything in-between.
As we pleasantly chat, my eyes could not escape her angelic yet seductive stare, as it seemed to hypnotize me like a mind-altering drug while her shapely lips emitted soothing tones like a sweet lullaby as she spoke.
Her hair seemed to shine with an angelic glow as the sun's rays highlighted her hair and the gentle summer breeze whisked it all around her beautiful face. Eventually, our lunchtime ends and we gradually return to work and part with friendly smiles.
I slowly return to my little cubicle as my heart flutters like butterfly wings as it gradually meanders around a lavish garden, but the sounds of telephones, fax machines and other office clamor quickly snaps me back into "reality".
That weekend, I decide to go to the park, sit upon a bench that overlooks a playground and do my ritual book reading, occasionally reminiscing of days gone by while gazing upon the children at play at the playground.
