I don’t give her an answer because I can tell that she is trying to rile me up. Maybe I do come across as cold and my brothers are right, but at the same time I am just being me. If I don’t want a relationship with someone then I will be honest with it. I was honest with her last night and I am being honest again today. I prefer this to allowing there to be any ambiguity because that can lead to problems later on. At least this way, it’s done immediately. As soon as this woman leaves this place, she will never want to see me again. Perfect.
When the right woman comes along, someone who I actually want to have an extended relationship with, then I will change my ways. I am just waiting for that to happen, that’s all. I haven’t ever been in love, I haven’t even been close to it, but I’m sure that it will happen for me one day. There is going to be that woman who sweeps me off my feet and changes absolutely everything. When she comes along, then I will just know…
At least, I assume I will just know. That’s what people say, isn’t it? That you just know. I haven’t known yet, I haven’t had a sign that it’s time for me to settle down, so I will keep on going. I will keep on acting like I do and wait and see what happens. I’m only young, there is plenty of time for that happy ever after…
Eventually, her cab arrives, and we have a very cold goodbye. It’s awkward as all hell, but only for a few moments. Then she’s gone and it’s time for me to get in to my car to finally get to the office. To get my creative juices flowing. Advertising is such a fun and inspiring game, I love it. That passion is why I am one of the most successful companies in the city and why I keep on rising. It helps that I only hire people as enthusiastic as me. That way, we win pitches all the time and keep on improving every single day. I can never wait to get to work. I absolutely love being there. There are days when it feels more like home than my actual home…
“Hey, boss,” Rebecca, the receptionist calls out with a smile as soon as I slip in to the office. “How are you? I just had a call from The Vivien, and they want to work with us. I have sent over the contracts…”
“Awesome, thank you, Rebecca. That’s great news.” What an awesome way to start the day. “Anything else that I need to know? What’s going on this week? Do I have any meetings today?”
“Actually, we need to get together the final plans for the charity function at the weekend.” Rebecca halts me in my tracks. I love to give back to the world which is why I always make sure to get involved with charities. There are a lot of people who aren’t as fortunate as me and I want to give them a chance as well. This upcoming function is for homelessness which I know is an important. “As you know, there is a silent auction and I need to know what you would prefer me to put a bid on for you. Here is a list of what is on offer.”
I take the list from her and run my eyes over it rapidly. There are a lot of awesome prizes, the charity has done well in collecting prizes. It’s just a case of what I would prefer. The expensive meal for two, the spa day which isn’t necessarily my thing but that could be fun, the trip to Hawaii which I like the sound of…
“A blind date?” I query while giving Rebecca a curious glance. “What does that mean?”
“Ah, well that is actually pretty exciting.” She wiggles her eyebrows at me and laughs. “I did think about that one for you, if you were up for it. They are going to have a magical date organized for the two highest bidders.”
“So, if you win, you don’t know who you are going to end up with?” Why does that send an excitable shiver down my spine? I can’t help it, I kinda like the idea. It’s something very new for me, to date someone without seeing them beforehand. Maybe that’s what I need to mix things up a bit. “That’s wild, isn’t it?”
“Fun though.” Rebecca stares intently at me. “I would bid on it if I were you. You never know what’s going to happen, which is always interesting. Plus, you have that charm, don’t you? You lure in all the ladies, so you would be able to make the date fun even if it got a little bit awkward… and it’s all for charity.”
