CHAPTER 2: FATE MUST BE ANNOYED

KYRSTINS’S POV

Damn, that client still has to meet me in other place just to sign up his papers. VIP-like pfff, I can’t even push him for a bigger down payment. He was a thick old hag. I’m not a harsh person I’m always sweet in everything I’m just a bit disappointed.

I wanted to come back to the office as soon as I finished but ended up wasting the whole afternoon waiting for him to show up. I was edgy for one reason. I can’t stop thinking of this particular girl. For some reason I just wanted to see her again, sooner. Her. Lilith. I wanted to see her again. I wasn’t able to catch her when I came back to office to time out. Why I didn’t get her number? So duff of me. Chill K a lot of time to do that. As if I can do it without looking weird in front of her. She might say I’m flirting with her if I do that immediately I have to plan to get her number without being too obvious I’m into her. Damn it, I don’t even know if she’s into girls. A beauty like that, she looks amazing, quite shy and have adorable lips. I can’t even control myself to stare at it her especially when she smiles. Plus those dimples in both of her cheeks who can resist? She blushed hard when she noticed I’m staring at her, at her lips to be exact. I have to look away to hide my red cheeks as well. So duff of me. She would think I’m a perv. How old was she again? I haven’t asked her last time. This was the first time again I saw myself staring at someone this curiously and interestingly. She’s very mysterious for me I wanted to know her more.

When I saw her came in with Ms Ruffa at the office. I can’t keep my eyes off of her. I’m on the corner with my phone on my left ear. She did not avert her attention along the corner where I stood. I just stood there looking at her. I never listen to the clients blabbering so I can get her say her name. “Hi I’m Sage Lilith Zamora. Marketing Professional. Nice to meet you all.” She smiled genuinely. That kind of smile that do not want to show off but that kind of smile that sends you the idea that she was not faking and that she was open to talk to you in case. “Hmmm..Lilith I like her name.” I thought. I heard my client repeating something. I answered him immediately and thought to talk to Lilith later.

I’m Kyrstin Luz Montez. I’m 32 but some people always mistaken me I was younger, that I look like I just turned 25 or something. Yeah, well I took good care of myself maybe that’s why. I like to read a lot but my eyes already betrayed me so I have to wear glasses now and then when I feel like I need to. I love to run as well but not to keep me fit. I feel like when I run I can keep off from things, release all the tension once you already tired from the run. In line of my work, pressure was normal once you’re on sales, pressure on the clients, meeting up your sales quota and all sales drama just to close a deal.

On the love life part, I did have previous boyfriend when I was on college. He was a dork who cheated on me. I broke up with him and after that I really never took interest in engaging in any romantic relationships, till now obviously.

What took my interest were girls. You read it right. Well you hate me if I say I’m not fully proud of it.

Well, I have met one which I tried to pursue but just left my heart broken. No one knows I’m into girls except her. Even my parents did not know, though I still live with them. I never have the guts to say my gender preference for I’m scared to death for their reactions. These things stayed hidden inside me causing me constant heartaches on why I can’t be who I wanted to be.

Though, after I saw Lilith this morning, I felt something. I don’t know it seems like there’s this aura around her that pulls me to her. She seems very mysterious that it took everything of me just to talk to her. So I pick up all the courage and came close from where she was seating. I saw her very into the brochure clips looking the specs of one of the car models. “That’s our bestselling car, Lilith.” I said making a conversation. She looked at me. Gosh her eyes were beautiful. Was that amber? “Really? It looks expensive by the way you can call me Sage.” She smiled and showed me here two cute dimples. “I like Lilith.” I said without thinking. I told her I like her name, not her directly. I should be more careful or I may look like a pervert, seems like too obvious. Gosh K, still don’t lose cool, alright. “A lot likes my name, well. May be just the name I’m not that likable person you know.” She said shyly. Wow. She should have not said that, how can she not be likable with that beauty. “You’re kidding right? You look amazing.” I said again without thinking. I look away to hide my shock reaction for what I said but she deserves that compliment. As I look back she blushed as response. Aww, that was cute of her. “Well thanks for the compliment Miss Stranger.” She said still blushing. I forgot to tell her my name. Yeah she really was receiving a compliment from a stranger. “Sorry where are my manners. I’m Kyrstin Luz Montez one of the sales agents. Welcome aboard.” I took her hand and that was it, millions of living butterfly fluttered inside of me. Did I freeze? I think I did, I can’t move. Damn. I was hypnotized just by looking at her pink lips. What’s with this girl? Luckily she made the move first to take her hand off mine because I don’t have the strength to do it myself. She turned her head away from me. Wait did I make her blush? I still can’t get over with small explosion happened inside me. My heart’s still beating fast. “Well Lilith, see you around I’ll just go down at the Showroom. I’m meeting my client there. Nice meeting you.” I don’t know why I said but as far I can remembered my client still have not replied to me what time he can make it to meet with me. I just feel I have to make an excuse to recompose myself again. I stood up. “Yeah see you around, Ms. Kyrstin Luz. Nice to meet you too” she said. Wow. I never heard my name sound wonderful. “Hey, no need to put my second name on it.” I gave a laugh to hide my daze. “Your clients must be waiting now Kyrstin Luz.” She said completely ignoring my comment. Hmm, she can be stubborn. I just waved good bye to her. As I was walking downstairs my client called me to meet him in a restaurant for the paper he need to sign for the unit he will be buying.

Now I’m driving home, sad and disappointed that I never got to see her again this day. But as I was driving, Fate must be annoyed about my whining and showed me what I was dreading to see. It was her.
