As I started the computer and looked up, Ryan strolled by and glanced in my direction. Our eyes met, and my heart spoke to my brain. I melted, despite what was going on. I was attracted to him in ways I could not explain. He was accompanied by Mona, the HR Director, and they walked briskly to catch the elevator.

Stretching my soul,
making me whole
and showing me
what really matters.

She suddenly got confused as he walked back to the closet, pacing slowly towards her with a black and gold box in his hand embellished with an overflow of curly ribbon. Within moments, she felt his breath rushing down her neck and she quivered with delight. “I got you a little something,” he whispered, nibbling lightly and blowing inside her ear. “Did you really?” She said softly, weakened by his caress.
“Put this on for me tonight; I’ll see you after I shower.”
Kissing her neck, he left her standing there with the gift in her hand. Smiling, she opened the box to reveal the contents. He was always filled with surprises.
