Blown away!

Alicia decided to date a guy casually, his name is Izik. They decided to meet at a bar for drinks. She dresses up in a long maroon gown with golden heels. She went in and sit at the bar counter. She orders a margarita. When she is sipping on the margarita, a super-hot, smirky guy entered the bar and came to her.

"Alicia?" Guy asks.

"Yes, Izik?" Alicia asks back.

"Yes," Izik replies. He looks at her, she is looking stunning.

"You ordered Already?" Izik says.

"Yes, I was thirsty." Alicia smiled.

"Then, I should help you with that thirst," Izik smirks.

She smiles back.

"If you don't mind, we can go to my place, it's near and adorable." Izik.

Alicia got, what he is trying to say. She wanted to stay but her urge to get laid down is drowning her and she Agress with him.

They both went to his place and did, what they were supposed to do.

In the morning, she came back home, got ready and attended to the office. She felt very free and relaxed like all her frustrations went away. She decided to tell Marie and continue doing this.

She came back home and called Marie,

"I have something to tell you" Alicia.

"You used the app and had sex last night." Marie.

"How do you know?" Alicia.

"I am your best friend since childhood, I know you are desperate." Marie.

"I am not desperate." Alicia.

"Yes, you are not, you waited more than 1 ½ years." Marie.

"So, how was it." Marie.

"Amazing, excellent and astounding." Alicia.

"I don't know if that's the guy or the fact that I become physical after years." Alicia.

"I guess, both." Marie.

"So, when you are getting laid next?" Marie.

"In a month, I guess." Alicia.

"I don't want to keep doing it every day, maybe once a month." Alicia.

"Make it a week." Marie.

"Okay, week." Alicia.

"I am happy for you." Marie.

Both kept on talking for more hours. Alicia decided to make it a weekly thing and she did. She went on several dates; she doesn't even know the names of most dates. Until, one date. It is with a guy named Blake. They meet at a coffee house and what made this date different is that they talked. In the months, it is the first date that didn't end up in a bed. She feels very attracted to the guy and liked him. They went for further more dates, with just talks and maybe a kiss or two but, that's it. They dated for a month and after a month, indulge in a physical relationship. It felt good and Alicia is happy but her happiness is very limited because one day, when they were at his place, having sex; his wife walked in. He in reality is married and a father of 2. Alicia left his place in embracement and guilt. She felt like she is "Laura" in their relationship. He tried to reach her but, she cut all the ties between them.

She again started casual dating and decided to not get emotionally attached to anyone. She focused on her career and herself but once again, special date!

This time, the guy's name is Ron, they met on the app and went to dinner but she stood her up. He didn't show up, she waited for 3 hours but, he never came. He texts her and apologizes but still, showing up on the date is mandatory. Well, this doesn't end here, a few days later; Alicia's company had a Metting with a neighbour's company. Mostly, Alicia doesn't give the presentation but, this time she is appointed to. Alicia prepared hard and when she went in front of the table, the first face, she saw is of Ron; who is btw the son of the neighbour's company owner. He smiled at her and all of her confidence evaporated from her. She somehow managed to give the presentation but she is a hell of nervous, standing in front of her.

After, the meeting; she quickly grabbed her stuff and left. She went to the near coffee house for a cup of hot coffee. When she entered, the first person is no one other than Ron. He apologized and explained to him, everything. She is still mad at her, but she can't control herself. He is in simple words," Delicious". Both got into talking and slowly and gradually fell for each other. Soon, both started dating and before she knew it, they started talking about living together.

In a matter of months, she shifted with him and they started a new phase of their relationship. Everything is going well, but she discovered how little time they spend together. Ron is a business freak and his whole life revolves around his business. Even when they were dating, on most of the dates; he never showed up or came very late. He offered her to live together because then she won't ask for his time and presence more. He did that, just to stop everyone from questioning their relationship. One day, Ron decided to purpose to Alicia for marriage but she didn't feel like his proposal is real. She listened to her gut and said "No". She picked up her stuff and left his penthouse. She decided to not live in a relationship, where she is constantly suffering. She had experienced failed marriage before and she won't want to relive it.

She told Marie about her story and how she rejected the proposal. Marie is indeed proud of her friend for finally standing up for herself and not being suppressed to the limit of being "blown away" by the guy she loved and sacrificed everything for. Alicia decided to give dating rest and not have any sort of contact with any man.

When she determined to stay at home and focus on her personal life, she came to the realization that her brother is living off her while doing nothing for her. Due to the latest betrayal from being used as a puppet, she decided to rent a place for living. She when being on her own, made another revelation of starting her own business. Alicia is fond of flowers and their properties, as a child even; she used to make facemasks from rose petals and other flowers. She made many products from flowers and their extracts. Her mother used to sell products made by Alicia to her friends. Even growing up, Alicia wants to pursue this field but because of Brian, she chose a different field
