SARAH POV

After One Week

I got up and sat on my bed, life has been changed so much I am 24 today. 

“Happy Birthday Sarah Rose” I wish myself smiling and got down to get ready for the office.

After getting ready I look at myself, grey knee-length dress with matching shoes and some minimal makeup looks nice today. 

With time and mostly because of Sam my dressing has changed a lot. Now I don’t hide my curves. My height 5.7 slider body with good curves at the right place and long hair make me more confident.

 

I went down and hear the most annoying voice of my life, 

SAM 

I am still cursing the day I met her. And she has stuck with me like a leech since then.

Happy Birthday My Pumpkin 

She came running and engulf me in a tight hug. Let me breathe Sam before she moves I felt one more hug. 

Wow god, are you calling me? Is this my last birthday? I thought rolling my eyes.

Guys leave me I can’t breathe. I shout

They both finally broke the hug and greening at me.

What? I said looking at them.

They both roll their eyes together and Sam said “Sarah at least be happy someday why you are always grumpy? Sam said.

What’s so special today? I asked while taking the newspaper.

It’s your birthday today what else you want? Nathan spoke.

I don’t like my birthday and you know it so please let’s not start again and if you guys are done with breakfast let’s leave we are getting late for the office. I said still keeping my eyes on the news.

They roll their eyes but then Sam gives me a gift box.

Sam you know I don’t like all this then why you do every year tell me? Do you like to annoy me? I asked getting irritated.

Ok sorry, next year I won’t give now open it. She got excited about her gift like a baby.

Shaking my head I open the box and froze at my place.

What happened you didn’t like it? She asked me with hopeful eyes.

I look up and said no I like it I mean it’s... it’s beautiful. I stutter looking at her. 

I look back to a beautiful infinity pendant that does not have a circle, it beautiful bird flying in the end, 

It’s a symbol of freedom. 

I have given the same pendant to someone 5 years back 

But this is a little different this one has a diamond on it and looks expensive.

I again look towards her and asked narrowing my eyes. This looks expensive how much you wasted on this?

That’s none of you look out now give me let me make you wear it will go well with your dress. 

And yes one more thing take this also. Saying she gives one more packet. 

And then eyes shine like a star. 

White chocolate. My first love

I happily took it and started opening the wrapper.

I don’t know why you always give me two gifts but trust me this one is the best.

 

Ok, now my turn Nathan spoke and give me the box I open and saw a beautiful Rolex Watch.

I smile at him thank you I loved it, Nathan. But you know you don’t have to do this right?

He nods “smiling I know but I like to.”

They both always know how to cheer me up.

 

“Now let’s go guys we have a very important meeting today”. I spoke keeping gifts aside.

“What I about your breakfast” Sam spoke.

“I eat something in the office now let’s go”. I spoke

“I and Sam took one car and Nathan took him as sometimes well all have different timings to get free due to work pressure, and we all are workaholic. 

Today am feeling happy remembering good days with my Grandparents.

We reached the office and I was informed about the meeting at 12.30 so finish my other work before the meeting gets started.

Sam informed me they have reached so I wind up my work and started walking towards the conference room I open the conference room and saw Nathan was sitting with few Gentlemen, he nods towards me saying sit near him.

I went and sat and kept my phone on the table and lookup.

So Gentlemen she is our MD Sarah Rose.

Smiling I give fast look to everyone and froze on one face.

A face l so want to forget

A face I left behind

A face I have been running away 

A face I never wanted to see every again 

Sean Hudson

His blue eyes staring at me as he can see through my soul.

Why he is looking at me like this?

And why I am getting nervous under his stair? 

I was trying to read his eyes but I am bad at it I can’t understand emotions much.

Does he suddenly start looking handsome or he was the one? I thought.

Well, how can I know I only have seen him two times in my life.

I guess he is what 6-year older than me? So he must be 31 or 32? His muscles are popping out from his blue fitted blazer, which shows he is a fitness freak.

He is aging like wine.  

Let’s not deny he hot. 

Our Staring contest got on hold when I heard someone is clearing his thought maybe Nathan’s.

I composed myself instantly as I know how to control my emotion I am pro at it. Lonely ness has taught me many lessons and this is one of them.

 

So gentlemen how can we help you? Nathan spoke staring at the conversation.

I was avoiding his eyes but I could feel his constant gaze on me. 

But why? 

Now what he wants? 

Divorce? 

Well yes must be that and I will live happily. I thought
