CHAPTER 1: GIRL MEETS GIRL

SAGE’S POV:

It was Monday. Again. Not a bad day for Sage. What’s a bad day, you can’t say it’s a bad day unless you are done with it right? Whatever. “It’s gonna be a good day, best day.” I thought. It was 6:03. Whoah that’s already three minutes after I turned off the alarm “I better get going before I get late”, I mentally told myself.

I am Sage Lilith Zamora. I’m 23 years old. I love reading, singing and writing. I’m someone you can refer to as a loner. Well I guess I can say is have this reserved kind of personality. I never talk unless you ask me first and well, when I’m in a group discussion I’m more of the listener than the talker. And most importantly, last thing you need to know about me is that I’m bisexual. I dated two guys when I was in college but you know, just for infatuation, flirting, well there’s no real things in short I preferred women more. Not that I always fantasize anyone on the gender but I was easily attracted to women. I would try social dating for cute girls but nothing serious has happened. Girls in the internet were sure hell was just experimenting.

I never told anyone this predicament I have, not even with my group of friends. Well, let’s just say my college companions. I don’t do best friends mine probably I should not even been born yet. What I have were considered just a squad. Imagine if they knew, I can never have any girl companion if I just instantly confess myself. They will still judge me no matter how long you have been with them. This secret was not worth sharing. Especially inside a school campus, where stuff like that was a big issue for them, to talk about.

Back to the present. This morning I’m preparing for my newly accepted job. My first real job, I got accepted last week as a Sales Agent for a luxurious car brand. I saw the compensation for one car sale will make a good start imagine selling many. I can finally be independent as I was always wanted. Well I better show my marketing skills and use my degree.

I entered the huge building of the Dealer and approached this gray lady at the front desk. Well she was wearing a gray dress and looks very professional. She’s a decent catch, yeah and she’s cute. This young woman told me to wait at the customer lounge and that the HR will just look for me there. Well, let’s go wait then.

After almost 20 minutes of watching a morning show on the television at the lounge Ms. Ruffa , the HR whom I met from the previous examination and interview came looking for me. She said her greetings with me and told me she’ll tour me inside the office so I can introduce myself with the other employees. I got to introduce myself with them and I can sense some of them where observing me really hard especially the men, technical personnel at the Service Workshop. Man, they look funny if only they knew. I just laugh in my thoughts.

Finally Ms. Ruffa introduced me to my own department, the Sales Department of course. Man they look snobbish, some of the girls look fine more than fine actually, and some guys grin devilishly. I introduced myself to them. “Hello I’m Sage Lilith Zamora. Marketing Professional. Nice to meet you all.” And they said their hi’s back. Well that looks cheerful enough. After that short introduction Ms. Ruffa left me with John, the Product Trainer. I said my thanks to her and faced John. Well he was good looking but not my type obviously. “Hi Sage, you can have this folder with different car catalog you can familiarize with. No need to rush or pressure yourself to much, I still want to see you tomorrow.” He said and winked at me. I laugh just to hide my irritation and said “Yeah right Sir John thanks, can I sit over there?” I said pointing an empty seat and desk at the corner. My head was already full of people to remember, 95% of them I already forgot the faces. I need my solitary moment in the corner. “Yeah sure no problems just ask me if you need anything.” He said. “Nice of you sir, thanks.” I said.

I’m a bit preoccupied with the different car models, wow there’s a lot and very nice exteriors, and no doubt it was the number one car brand. “That’s our bestselling car, Lilith”. An angelic voice behind me said. I turned my head to see the source of that mesmerizing voice. Well it’s not just her voice was mesmerizing her face as well. She’s taller than me. I can see it without literally standing. She has these calm, captivating and luminous green eyes. I can’t help but think of the ocean. She took the nearby moving chair and sat beside me. “Really? It looks expensive. By the way you can call me Sage.” I told her with confidence, I don’t despise my second name I’m just not very much accustomed calling by it. But with this woman I will not protest. “I like Lilith.” She said simply. I blushed when she said she like me, well my name, she likes my name. “A lot likes my name. Maybe just the name I’m not that likable person you know.” I said half smiling. “You’re kidding right? You look amazing.” She said then looked away. I blushed, again. “Well thanks for the compliment Miss Stranger.” Now it’s her turn to blush. Cute. “Sorry where are my manners. I’m Kyrstin Luz Montez. One of the sales agents. Welcome aboard.” She said and offered her hand. I took her hand and damned it was warm. I can hold this hand forever. Her straight nose is very cute. I look at her eyes damned they’re the most gorgeous pair of greens I have seen. Are those contacts? She wears small hints of blush that suits her and a light red lip tint in her kissable lips. She might felt I’m staring and thinking wildly but never took off her hand from mine. I have to let go now. “Some other time I can hold that longer. “ I told myself and slid off my grip from her. I think I’m blushing on the third time when I saw her looking at my lips. She looked away. “Well Lilith, see you around I’ll just go down at the Showroom. I’m meeting one of my clients there. Nice to meet you.” She said and stood up. “Yeah see you around, Ms. Kyrstin Luz. Nice to meet you too” I said. “Hey no need to put my second name on it.” She laughed. “I like Kyrstin Luz. Your clients must be waiting now.” I replied ignoring her comment. She waved good bye and went out of the office. I breathe out, wow, that was hot. She’s hot. I can’t believe I blushed three times because of her. Wow Sage first day of your job and you are now crushing on someone. So far it was good day. Well best day maybe if I get a chance to talk to her again before I went home.

I planned to go home around 5:10pm. I tried looking for that girl around the Showroom but I never saw her. I felt sad but told myself that I still have plenty of time to see her. Well we’re workmates right. I went out the building and went home.
