CHAPTER 10: STRANGE FEELING

　　He looked away, like he was shy to look at her. That was what anyone else would think, but on the real sense, she was the shy one.

　　She busied her eyes with staring at the flower. “It’s beautiful. You must have spent a lot on this.” She rose her gaze to him. “ Dad is lucky to have you. You really are a good friend.”

　　She drops it on the table beside the bed along with her book. “So, if you don’t mind telling me a little about yourself.” She said, trying to create a conversation.

　　“ Okay. Like I said earlier, my name is Nomed Sacrod and I work as a manager to Nimkin Motor Warehouse. We are responsible for the importation of new motors vehicles and… the rest of them, you know.”

　　“ Sounds like a very big company.”

　　“ Yeah, it is.”

　　“ Are you… Do you have a family?” She asked. “ Sorry I’m snooping into your personal life but, I was wondering with the situation of your business, it will really be difficult for your wife. You know, having less time with you and. . . stuffs like that.” She explained.

　　“ You are right but honestly, I ain’t married. I mean, not yet. Still on my own for the meantime. Have a lot to do so, I hardly think about marriage.”

　　“ Oh. Th… that’s right.”

　　SONIA ?

　　I was watching this young gentleman, I have never seen his face before. Or maybe that’s because I haven’t been so close to my family, I seem not to know things I should.

　　He wasn’t the talking type. And I wasn’t the talking type too but, not being the talking type and sitting with a not talking type just made things a lot worster.

　　“I’m so happy you are getting better, Miss Mayor, do recover quickly.” He say.

　　“ Thank you.”

　　“ I know we barely know each other and… we never see. But I do hope to see you one day… outside here.”

　　I chuckled. “ Of course, we will. Someday, right?”

　　“ Someday.” He made his way to the door. He paused as he held the door handle, like he was forgetting something. “Have a nice night, Miss Mayor.”

　　“You too, Nomed. Good night.”

　　He left the room. I found myself smiling at nothing.

　　He was so cool to be with. Though, he did try to make the conversation flow but, it’s still good though.

　　I try not to have this gentleman in my head but his image keeps coming, like it has become my constant thought.

　　Every conversation we had replays in my mind over and over again. I’m supposed to be thinking about something else.

　　Maybe like home, mom, dad or even John. No! I’m thinking about some kinda stranger I just met few minutes ago.

　　I’ll admit, he looks super cute. He has a fine height, a well structured jaw bone and a sculpted nose which stood perfectly fit above those reddish lips.

　　I thought I had a cute smile, he just proved me wrong. His smile reached end to end, exposing both his white sparkling teeth and the single dimple by his right cheek.

　　Did I made mention of his eyes? Oh, kill me.

　　Those super killing ocean blue eyes are the best thing I have ever seen.

　　John did have a pretty look but his. . . I mean this very gentleman, was totally different. He didn’t just look pretty good, he looks pretty hot and killing.

　　I’d admit, I almost fell for his look but honestly, John still remains the best to me. And I will do anything to see that no one takes his place in my heart.

　　Not even the gentleman.

　　Dozing off was the last thing I wanna think about right now. Somehow I wish morning could come so soon so I can get the hell out of here.

　　I so much miss home, my family and my business too. I can’t imagine how much they all miss me.

　　A lot of calls has been coming everyday from both home and work. I doubt those workers of mine would let me breath for a second if I get back to the building.

　　Chuckles.

　　It’s not always about the fame, it’s much of the love and trust.

　　But truth be told, none of this is able to wave off the thought of the gentleman out of my head. And yes, I’ve been trying.

　　It’s just stucked, right up in my head. And it feels like. . . like we’ve met somewhere. But where?

　　I don’t remember his face, I don’t remember meeting him anywhere. But why. . . Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel so much comfortable with his company over to John’s?

　　It’s brief and for a moment, but to me, it felt more like a whole day. Maybe I’m just overthinking, right? Maybe I am feeling this way is because I feel lonely today.

　　Or maybe. . . Somehow I can’t tell . . There’s something behind the loneliness I just haven’t figured out yet.
