Subject: What have you done?

What have you done?

This is worse than I imagined.

I no longer know if this is a dirty game or a chain of unfortunate events that strives to intertwine to infinity.

Say something, for God’s sake, say something NOW.

Chapter 14

Him

She comes and goes, always in a hurry, always running, always unattainable.

She’s untouchable, yet can be felt all over.

She’s light radiating from a star in the dark sky.

So beautiful and lonely.

Unreachable.

She reminds me of what I want but can’t have.

We may not want to acknowledge it, but all men have the ideal woman etched on their brains. The idea of the girl, who when she comes into your life, will make everything perfect, complete, whole.

California Girl was a mirage, a fantasy, one that could only be accessed in the virtual world.

I’m an idiot, I know that. But at least I’m being honest.

She was perfect, she understood my problems, spoke the same language. It was as if I had the answer to each of my questions, to all my doubts and also to all my fears.

She was perfect, but untouchable.

Elusive like a hummingbird.

I have never believed in fate, life is what we make of it. That’s why I have always fought for what I want. When I was a child, I was the best student. I went to the university with a full scholarship and from there I started at the bank, making a career, working my way up, starting from the bottom and climbing up the ladder to the very top.

Step by step.

Earning the position that many thought was impossible, breaking even my own schemes, reaching goals they said I couldn’t possibly attain at my age.

But for me, there was no such thing as impossible.

She tried to convince me that she was not worthy of anything good, I decided to prove otherwise. Her life would be full of wonders, I would take care of that.

But what happens when you look at another woman who is the antithesis of that image?

Your world turns upside down, of course.

What happened to me? I met the woman who was the complete opposite when she came into the bank to apply for a loan.

And I was pissed off. Very pissed off.

From the very first moment I saw her, my body reacted to her, to her presence, to her damn perfume. To her big gray eyes, that seemed to see everything, making me transparent, permeable, susceptible.

I have never felt this way before, so vulnerable, so needy. It’s a terrifying experience, it’s worse than riding a roller-coaster, it’s a jump into the unknown.

Only I wasn’t willing to give in to it.

So I reacted, in the worst way, I must add. Something boiled inside me, something that at that moment I could only equate to rage.

And yes, I was angry as well as frustrated.

Because of all the women in the world, she was the one who called to me on a primitive, basic level.

How did I respond?

Elementary, my dear Watson.
