"Ma'am, are you ok??" he asks again seeing the look on her face.
Amy stares at his face, a slight blush coming to her cheeks. She cant form the words and she stutters a little. "ye Ye Yes, I am mm fi fine" she finally manages to get out taking his offered hand.
It was warm, slightly rough in texture, and didnt move even when she put her whole body weight on it to pull herself up. She reached her feet and stumbled in the heels falling into his chest.
The man catches her "Well gee, not that I don appreciate the attention, but we just met" he chides with a grin showing pearly white teeth.
Amy cant focus, her brain suddenly registering the fact she had been running, and must be sweating. Oh no I must stink! she thought, quickly pulling the perfume out. She tries to spray it on herself quickly.
However she did not pay attention to the direction of the nozzle. Two spritzes later, and the mans eyes were burning and red "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" he shouts and everyone looks over at the two.
She is standing there with his arms around her, a bottle in her hand held up, and the mans face covered with red and eyes watering.
Everyone thought she had just maced a molester.
"I am sooo sorry!" she says to him putting the bottle back in her purse and trying to find something to help him wipe his eyes. However the people around them had moved forward. He looked around and noticed everyone had gotten the wrong idea.
About this time the next train pulled in and opened its doors. People came rushing out saving them both. Amy ran inside the train shouting again "I am sooooo sorry, thank you again!" as the doors were closing.
After the train pulls away, she realizes she didnt even get his name.
The train approached the next station. Amy walked out and up the stairs to the street. Her head lost in a fog thinking about the man she just ran into.
What a hunk! she thought to herself. Before she realized it, she was at her desk pulling her chair in her cubicle out. She was about to sit down when she heard familiar loud foot steps approaching her cubicle.
It was her boss.
The man was fat, like really fat. He walked with his hips stamping his feet on the ground each step. He rounded the corner on her "Amy, We have a specific time we are supposed to start work for a reason, And here you are being late." He started without even a hello.
Amy's boss continued to drone on, not even looking at her. Amy just stood there, she knew this was going to happen the moment she was late. Taking out her brush she decided she may as well brush the tangles out while she was standing there.
Her boss, named Steve, still had not even looked at her. He grabbed the belt of his sagging pants and pulled them back up over his protruding belly. The wrinkled khaki colored pants moving over his rotund front, disheveling his blue simple button down top. The buttons strain under the tension of his flesh, barely containing the tight white t shirt covered in food stains hidden beneath.
His balding head with a bad comb over finally turned and mid sentence he stopped.
"And further more, I dont think your performance lately has been up to...."
Amy was still brushing her hair. She tuned him out a while ago and didnt notice he had stopped talking. She simply put her brush back, pulled out her perfume and gave herself a couple of spritzes, making sure not to point it the wrong way this time.
When she was done she realized he had stopped talking and looked at him. She was greeted with the stare of a very lustful man.
"What hasnt my performance been up to?"
Steve stopped, staring at the exposed calves of the woman before him. He almost wanted to fall to his feet and worship her feet. "About a size 7" he mutters to himself.
Amy drops her jaw open. "Excuse me, My face is up here mister!" she snaps, feeling like he is being like a lech.
Steve turns bright red as he realized what he just did. Seeing those high heels and strong legs, he almost forgot he was at work, and not his dominatrix house. He sweated profusely. "Nothing Amy, you are doing great! Keep up the good work!" and then he ran back to his office quickly.
Amy stopped and just stared at the empty space left where her boss was once berating her from. In a mere moment he went from talking down to her, to weirdly talking up to her.
She shrugged and put it out of her mind, taking her seat and getting to work.
The day passed easily, and before she knew it, the morning was gone, and it was time for lunch.
Amy reached down for her purse and her face instantly paled. She had forgotten her lunch at home. She slowly pulled out her phone and checked her bank balance. After some quick mental math, she discovered she could only spend about $10 for food, which was not much at all in this city.
With a sad face, she walked down the building and towards the local food cart.
A dark skinned man was wearing basic clothing with a red and white striped apron. He was pulling food from the warm side of the cart and handing it to customers as they came up and placed their orders one after the other.
Amy waited her turn in line, watching the meager minutes of her lunch break tick by. About this moment a voice with a southern accent chimes in from her side. "Well Well little darlin, seems we meet again."
Amy turns over to see a nice broad chest in a flannel button down in front of her. She moves up and sees that same chiseled jaw, and blonde stubble from earlier.
Her breath comes in a sudden gasp, then she tries to catch herself "again I am soooo sorry for earlier. I didnt even get your name...."
His bright white perfect teeth smile at her behind those soft rose colored lips. "Well my mama named me Elijah, but my friends call me Eli, And what might your name be Miss?"
Amy simply offered out her hand "Amy, it is absolutely my pleasure.. Eli?" She tries seeing if he would mind. His rough calloused hands dwarf her dainty palm as he takes her hand. He shakes it softly.
"Pleased to meet you Amy, Hope you are doing better now than earlier" still holding her hand and his blue pools seeming to look her over.
A soft blush colors her cheeks as she diverts her eyes. "yes, much better." She can feel her heart pounding in her chest. She stands there simply holding his hand. A few moments go by, and Eli breaks the silence as the cart worker is calling at her. "I think its your turn in line ma'am" his southern drawl comes out. Amy quickly regains herself and turns around pulling her hand away. "Can I at least buy you lunch as an apology from earlier?" she asks turning to the cart attendant. Eli chuckles at her and smiles "I would like that, what are ya havin?" Amy suddenly realizes she is a little short on funds and gulps quickly looking over the menu. She then asks the attendant "Two footlongs please! load them up" The cart attendant pulls the hot door open, reaching in with a pair of Thongs, he grabs two large foil wrapped dogs. Pulling them open he holds them both in one large hand, while layering toppings on with the other two. After finishing he held out the two dogs "9.50" he says sh
Amy began to get worried. She would see him again, right? She walked to work, then up to her cubicle. Still no sign of Eli anywhere. As the hours ticked by, she ignored even the emails coming to her. Worry began to knit her brows. Was that all she got? A couple of brief moments of happiness? Lunch came and went. Still not even a sign of him. Her spirits were falling fast. By the time 3pm rolled around. She was almost manic. She had thought she missed the only opportunity she would ever have. And instead of getting his number she ran back to work. She hated herself. She hated her job. She began to get angry. "If I didn't have this demanding unforgiving job…." She cursed in her heart. At this moment Steve waddled over to her. Before he could even open his fat repulsive lips she snapped at him. "What do you want Steve? I am busy!" Steve was not used to this from her. That cold attitude, that seductive business suit. He felt himself starting to sweat. He pulled at the collar o
Steven stops. Sweat pours down his bald head soaking the collar of his tight shirt. Eli looks over at him and says one simple phrase. "You are fired. Pack up and go home" and then turns back to Amy. "Any other grievances I should know about?" A wicked grin sitting on his lips. Amy's smile seems to match his own "why don't we discuss the rest of this over dinner" as she glances over at the other managers she had problems with. Eli nodded. The line of suits behind him didn't even bat an eye, nor did they show the slightest bit of frustration with his personal conversation in the middle of the workplace. "Great I will call you later so we can work out the details, I really look forward to see you Amy" and then he turned and left, the line of suits behind him following like a black snd white tide. Amy finished work, went home, and giddily jumped into the shower. She was so excited for the date she couldn't help but jump around, giggle, and smile non stop the entire time. After her
Cupid was looking through the list of names in the chat room. He was glancing back and forth at a magic camera screen. He watched as Amy and Eli disappeared into her apartment, lips locked together. "Well, I do not think I will need to worry about them any longer" as he felt the mark of fate disappear as the new lines of fate were sealed.Cupid was watching the chat room now, sending the camera on Amy away. He was not a voyer, at least not today. He went back to sipping his small fruity drink that was inside a cut open coconut.Cupid would occasionally chat in the room, just so people knew he was not a bot. While sending out one of his usual messages to someone, he noticed a name he had been seeing lately.The name of this use for dyeingforlove.Cupid watched the name for a bit.This user was extremely active. Like too active. He would join in every conversation, and message every person. Cupid was fairly sure it was a He, it had a blue name, and was listed as male. Though with things
On a sandy beach overlooking crystal clear water. Perfectly white sand of extra fine consistency reflected the dazzling lights of the hot blinding sun across its surface. Waves crashed away from the shore leaving the soothing sounds of water constantly churning in the area. Palm trees fenced in the border of the sand from the rest of this tropical paradise. The sounds of teaming life busily doing things echoed through the land. Birds were squawking and chittering, insects were buzzing and chirping. The feint sound of keys tapping could be heard. Sitting under a lone large umbrella, sprawled out on large blanket was a man with short brown hair wearing what seems to be a perfectly white robe. In front of him is a small laptop that he is busily typing away on. On the screen is a message window with scrolling text. On closer inspection it is a chat room. At the top of the screen in the center, the name of the room is displayed. "Cupid's Love Connection" In the user list was filled wi
Back in the apartment, 10 minutes had gone by. The girl was a nervous wreck. Her anxiety had forced her brain into tumultuous tangents all leading to the worst possible scenarios. By this time, her brain had settled on the fact she was probably going to be removed from the chat room permanently on top of getting yelled at. She really enjoyed this chat room. The people were always so lovely. Her eyes were closed as she clutched her head. She heard that tell tale ding, and her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't force herself to look at it. Maybe if she just ignored it, it would go away. She sat there for a couple of minutes. But there was only the one ding. She finally managed to drum up enough courage to slowly peak at the screen between her fingers. What she saw left her stunned. After a moment she pulled her hands away from her face. Closed her eyes. Rubbed them, then reopened them and looked at the screen. There was only a short message on the screen. It read "Hi, please
In the middle of her falling down something caught her. Warm strong arms embraced her before a single bit of her could touch the floor. A soft soothing voice caught her ear. "It is ok, it is not that big a deal" He says and then pecks her on the cheek. A golden light forms and a small crest appears on her cheek where he kissed. The crest is of an arrow piercing a heart. It glows before vanishing. Cupid sighs. "You have received my blessing" He says a little sadness in his voice. She is too shy to ask about it concentrating on the blessing he had just bestowed on her. "What blessing?" She asks. Cupid smiles at her "the blessing of love. Within the next three days your true love will find you." Amy gasps. That was it? A simple peck on the cheek and her true love will find her? She couldn't believe it would be that easy. After that brief encounter, he gave her some pointers on her appearance. "Keep a brush with you and keep your hair brushed. It will look much better that way. Stop
