Chance

I don’t know who came up with the “patience is a virtue” saying. Not that I even care, but the person should’ve included somewhere in their moment of epiphany and inspiration that patience wasn’t for people who wanted to win back their one true love after six grueling years. Since I discovered Kai was single and worked freelance, all I’d been thinking about was getting her to work for me, to keep her close enough so I could work my way back into her good graces. I didn’t spare time to think about what would happen after she got the job. Now, I was stuck in this feeling that I was losing time, that every day that went by, the window to getting Kai back was closing.

She was all I could think of these days. At least, before she started working for me, I could turn the switch off and focus on something else. That switch didn’t exist anymore, and the whole plan seemed to be backfiring. I’d hired her to increase the prospect of us reigniting what we had in the past. I didn’t see that happening with her living in San Diego and me in LA or giving her a one-time job. That part of the plan had clicked into place, but we weren’t spending time together. She wasn’t my secretary or an assistant, so even if I could have her in my office, it’d be weird to have her there all the time. Whenever I saw her, it was like I was part of the building. She glowed like a lamp whenever she was with other people, so warm and colorful, only to turn into a shaft of ice at the click of a finger whenever I was around.

I ached for that warmth each time I spied her speaking with a coworker. I latched on to her laughter’s soft ring when she laughed at some joke. It’d take me back down memory lane, replaying all the moments I’d admired her laugh. And then I’d get angry. Why wouldn’t she look at me? Just once. She didn’t have to see me like she once did. Not yet, anyway, but she could, at least, look at me with the same spark of light in her eyes that glows when she looks at everyone else. That’d be a good start. When it felt as if I was going too far, I’d stop myself, thinking of the pain I’d caused her in the past. But how long did I have to suffer because of something I felt I did for her own good? Couldn’t she see that? How else could I make her see that I still do love her? That I never meant to hurt her and that I never would? What more could I do?

I felt a profound bout of infuriation, frustration, and helplessness. It was like a hot liquid rushing up my throat from the pit of my stomach, scalding me inside as it moved. I wanted it out but knew I couldn’t.
