Wake up!

Jan1

It was a cold breezy morning; I was on my way to work. I was being the usual me.

My favorite songs of the week are on my playlist, again. I was a bit in a hurry because we were scheduled to have a trip down south to meet some of our clients.

See whenever the jeepney passed by this church I say a little prayer , that today is going to be a good day and everything’s going to be ok and just fine. Indeed it started good, I made it on time.

10 minute make-up, fixed my hair, checked emails and hastily went to the car and had my breakfast on the way.

After an hour and a half we arrived at the busiest street of the Metro.  I was still trying to figure out where to head first cause it was actually my first time to go there, with my high heels on, I was walking around pretending I know where I’m going, I’m bringing along with me my heavy tote bag, my itinerary for the day and my phone that keeps on buzzing me out once in a while.  So I headed first on this commercial building, where I have 3 appointments w/ my previous clients.  And being the “usual” me , I wasn’t looking on my way cause I was talking to someone on the phone and out of nowhere ,someone bump off me,  and there goes my phone that went into pieces on to the floor.  At my dismay, I said the F word a bit loud and I‘m at my most awkward moment. Damn. With glam and poised, I composed myself and picked up my phone, right then I went straight to the elevator and headed to the 22^nd floor for my first rendezvous . The receptionist told me to wait at the lobby , I was few minutes behind schedule so my contact person entertained her next appointment, and yes I waited for twenty boring minutes thinking  if only  I arrived earlier and my phone didn’t flew and was scattered into pieces I was probably having my coffee right now and closing deals.

And finally I saw Ms. EVP walking down the hall and talking to an Andrew-Garfield-look-a-like, need I say more? Haha hottie

I was actually expecting for us to be introduced formally but it seems like he was on a hurry, so he went off  the way , as  I greet my client with my warmest smile and ask her about that guy, who happened to be my clients company consultant.  And that hottie guys name was Mark.  All throughout the day my mood was enlightened as I moved on and meet my clients’ one after the other, thanks to “Mark”. I was kind of disappointed though cause I was somewhat hoping to see him again.

After my last destination I dropped by at a coffee shop to order my favorite decaf frapped and by surprised in front of me was Mark, without any doubt it was him indeed! I was about to approach him but then my phone ring(yes, it’s still working), I was planning to reject it but “The only girl in the world” tone kept on playing louder and louder, I was trying to modulate my voice  so I can sound like a girly like professional just in case he was listening but things started strange when he was looking at me every once in a while (thank god for the long line.lol) After I took the call, he stared at me again ( I hope I‘m not blushing though) , he talked to me and said he was sorry about this morning, and asked myself ,sorry about what? Then he recalled the incident where my phone flew like super man this morning, soooooooooo it was him!

And instead of recalling the incident I was just smiling and staring at him the whole time and telling him that it was ok. He paid for my coffee (so sweet) and as we head outside we had this chit-chat , to seize the moment  I pretended naive and told him I’m not quite sure where’s the exact location of our car.  He was kind enough to walk with me and guide me to whatever the place is. lol.  At the back of my mind I was giggling, because after 4 long years it’s just now that I enjoyed a long walk with someone (even if my feet hurts so bad already).  He was a street smart kind of guy so that got me interested more and more. This is it! This might be the one I’ve been waiting for 4 long agonizing years!

We exchange numbers (yuppie!!!)  , until I felt that something was wrong with my shoes, we went down the underpass and bam! My heels got broke, went off-balance, I fell down the stairs in the most humiliating way, and then I went unconscious.

After a while, I opened my eyes then I realized,

It was only just a dream.
