Complete Me

   Resting on the balcony in my bedroom, I watch in amazement observing the view. Regardless of how many times I sit here I am always amazed, the view is so beautiful. From my balcony, I can see everything clearly from the tall buildings in the city, to the beautiful sunset, down to passers by walking. As I continued gazing, my eyes fell on a mother and her child, a middle aged man and a married couple laughing while strolling.    I couldn't resist the smile that came to my face. I felt a longing, The yearning so deep my eyes began to water, but not the type that causes alarm. A happy and sad one, it is more like a mixed emotion.     I wiped the tears from my eyes quickly, afraid that someone might see since my sisters are always entering my room. My name is Catherine, but my friends and family call me Cathy. I turned 22 last month, June 24 to be precise. I am done with college, graduated from Harvard University

   Waking up to the annoying sound of my alarm, I turned it off. Can't believe it is Monday already, it's my first day. I will be working as the personal assistant to the CEO of Rutherford oil and gas petroleum limited. I am excited and upset at the same time. I am excited because I have a job and upset because I have to wake up so early now. Working with my dad has made me lazy.     I can always work for my dad again but that will mean limiting myself to the same people I have always known all my life. I want to explore, and meet new people. Hoping this will help me find meaning to my life. I know it won't be easy, always being a daddy's girl, getting everything I want in a platter of gold.    Getting off my queen size bed I went to freshen up, and wash my hair with my all natural shampoo and conditioner I got from the store last week Tuesday after my interview. So excited I was selected, the company is worth multi-billio

**CATHERINE**      Unfortunately for me I couldn't come up with anything as a result of the continuous knock on the glass window that never seems to end. With the side of my left eye I could see that the intruder is a man wearing something that looks like a gray suit. He must be one of those good for nothing looking for naive women to mess around with. Sorry to burst your bubble sweetheart, this fine wine has no time for cheap men like you. Out of frustration I wined my glass down, enough for the intruder to hear me clearly                   "Hello, excuse me? I am not interested in you so please take your sweet talk somewhere else"       Feeling happy that I finally got the alone time I need to think because time seems not to be on my side, something I have noticed lately. Hmm, why?  I wondered, as I raised my shoulders in defeat, giving up on the tho

CHAPTER SEVEN   **CATHERINE**        Stepping out of the elevator I stopped on my track, looking at the beautiful scene before me.  This floor is decorated with the finest qualities, from the colours of the wall, and the furniture setting is so beautiful. Everything in here cost a fortune, my father's life savings.          The setting is a combination of furniture that befits royalties, white walls, art designs and a very huge sparkling golden chandelier located at the center of the floor in-between my desk. I kept looking in amazement. As I continued staring, my attention shifted to the desk that seemed to be mine.    I feel some kind of peace as I lo

  "To what do I owe this visit Adam?" Raymond asked in his usual sarcastic tone as we entered my study room.      Raising my eyebrow I looked at him, he always has a way of getting on my nerves.    "You know you don't have to be so sarcastic all the time," I said, sitting on a chair crossing my legs.   Laughing, he took his seat too. "Come on Adam, I am sure you didn't call me here just to tell me that" he said.   "Yes you are right. I need you to do research on someone, she is.."   " Your mother, not again Adam. So tell me what did you do to  make your sweet mother run away?" he exclaimed.   "Will
