Simple person, great love

(Part 3 from 5. Fiction.)

I stayed home watching TV, I have lost my appetite and I was really lazy, when suddenly the door bell rang, I opened it and there was a flower delivery, I took it, signed the receipt, and wondered who would it be from, I placed it on the dinning table, and picked the card, it read "wish you fell better”, and it was signed by Kevin Bocher. How could he have known that I’m home, Brenda must have told him, shall I call and thank him? How should I act? Oh, what should I do? Whom should I talk to about this?
I sat down and turned on the TV, couldn’t decide what I should watch, I just laid there, and fell asleep, when something woke me up, it was my cell phone ringing. I looked at the clock on the wall it showed six thirty, oh I must have over slept, and I stood up stretched and answered my phone.
"this is Richard Brown" I said my voice still groggy.
"Mr. Richard, this is Kevin Bocher I called your office today and they told me that you called in sick I hope you fell better know I got worried."
"I’m fine thanks for asking and thanks for the flowers mate, they are really pretty."
"don’t worry its the least I could do for keeping you after work and made you sick." He answered giggling.
This guy is really caring, nice and unbelievable attractive, I thought for a moment and then answered back
"yesterday I felt sick before your arrival Mr. Kevin, it has nothing to do with you sir."
"oooh, what a relief, I was felling really guilty about it"
"well you shouldn’t its just that I have been over working for the last couple of weeks” I said thinking to myself, what could I have said other that that reason, I cant tell him that I’m falling for a someone, and that’s him.
"well , I’ll be going in a business trip for the next two weeks , and I was wondering if we could meet over the weekend for a project I have in mind” Kevin asked and he did sound hesitated while asking
"sure when ever you like” I answered amazed with the speed I did that, it seemed I was desperate to see him.
"your the sick one, you tell me when and where” Kevin answered.
"how about tonight” I tried to stop myself from saying that but I couldn’t.
"excellent, I know a very nice and quite cafe at your part of the city. When would you like me to be there"he said?
"how does an hour seem to you mate” I answered wishing I drop dead.
"fine see you in an hour” Kevin replied, and gave me the address.

I went to the bathroom shaved, took a long bath, and went to the dressing room. I started going through everything I had, I couldn’t make my mind what to wear, I didn’t realize that I want to look the best for this guy, and when it hit me, I just sat on the bed with my hands figgling my hair, breathing heavily trying to dismiss the though that I’m falling for Kevin, everything seems to be totally out of order, well I made up my mind and hit the road to see him. I was really happy but frightened. yesterday I couldn't stand him in front of me, and now I couldn’t wait to see him, has fascination taken the place of repulsion toward him, well I decided to go with the flow and see what will happed.

I reached the café, walked in and there he was sitting, looking as if he was a Greek God, I wondered if he looked to me the same way, after all we had the same package of good looks. I reached him, shock his hand sat down, got my not book, and wanted to look as professional as possible, so I asked
"what kind of a project are we talking at?” I asked him with a spark in my voice.
"what would you like to have sir” he asked me with a smiley face.
"fresh juice, apple if possible "I answered thinking if I should have asked for something that should have style, something like cappuccino or coffee ale
"no wonder you have a healthy look” he said that and I felt my heart dropped to my stomach
He ordered coffee with milk and sugar and looked at me and asked
"I hope you feel better"
"I fell fine, so tell me how may I be of help to you Mr. Kevin” I answered trying to sound as professional as possible.
"it Kevin” he said looking at me
"Excuse me” I said
"I’ll prefer if you call me Kevin, instead of Mr. Kevin, it makes me fell old.” he said melting me into his deep eyes.
"Ok Kevin, what do you want me to do for you?"
"I’m looking for two things actually, first, an office block which has a modern look, and could accommodate all of my staff, and the growth rate of my company for at least the next 10 years."

I listened to him, and took notes of all of the description of his needs, and when he was done he said
"The other project is going to be the house I will be staying at for the rest of my life"
"Ok, what your idea is of an ideal family house?” I asked while writing down notes
"I don’t know actually. I guess I need a house that has all the necessity of living comfortably."
I wanted to ask him if he had a wife, and how many kids he is planning to have, but I was afraid of the answer, anyways; I went a head and asked
"Do you have kids Kevin” I asked with some hesitance in my voice
"no. why?” he asked giving me a look that made me wanted to get up and kiss him.
"Well I want to know how big of a family you are planning to have?"
"Well, I don’t have one at the moment, but I want to be prepared for it, you never know when will miss right need me to pop the question”
"So I believe you don’t have anyone at the moment” I asked crossing my finger under the table.
"well, I don’t know Richard, do you think its your business to know?” he said looking directly into my face, I almost stopped breathing, my hole body pressure raised to my head, and I turned red and said "I’m sorry, I guess I’ve crossed my line intensely, sir"
"Come on man, look at you, I’m just kidding, didn’t expect you be that sensitive" Kevin said that and I didn’t like his joke at all.


Well our meeting started at seven thirty, and ended at nine. When he was finished describing what he wanted his house to be like, I started to wrap up to start heading home, but the weird thing was, when he saw me do that he said
"I hope you are not leaving"
"Oh sorry, I thought you were done” I said thinking I’ve done some sort of a mistake
"well I’m done alright, but you don’t have to leave, unless you have a date or some other thing to do.” those were his word and they made me fell that he actually want me to stay, so I sat back, and ordered a drink. each moment made me adore him more, as time passed, I could never take my eyes of him, I just fell for the guy and as soon as time passed I new that life will never be the way it was to me before meeting Kevin. He just took my breath away with his sweet words; I fell in love with him without recognition of what I’m putting myself into. what is it that I like of this guy, or let me ask myself, what do I hate about him, I actually love everything, his smile, his way of moving his lips while talking, his sense of humour and most of all, the resemblance between him and my late dad, both are tall, hansom, tanned skin, blue eyes, muscular and most of all, family men, who both thought of being generous to their families. Time flew while we talked about our lives. I knew that he had never been married, and just ended a relationship with his girlfriend cause she had to move to another state and didn’t expect to get involve soon. I thought that I might get a chance, but let’s see what tomorrow has kept hidden for us. I thanked him for the evening, and we left, he promised to keep in touch and give me a call.

I started driving toward my place, I felt sad cause my time with Kevin has ended, but as they say, the best is to come, I went home, changed and laid on my bed.
I could not get his face out of my sight, hoped he will call, but it was almost midnight. in the morning I thought, what could I do to look better, and I decided to go and register in a health club, I wanted to change my life to the best of it, I wanted to be the best for Kevin , I didn’t know what he though about me, but I wanted the dream to keep on going.

I started early on Monday, and with a big smile I went to the office, as soon as Brenda saw me, she said
"Mr Richard you look different to day."
"I hope to the better Brenda.”I replied
"Well you smell different, your hair is different, you are dressed different, your smile is bigger that ever, and it’s the first time I see you singing Mr Richard"
I looked at my reflection in the widow glass, fixed my hair, and tie, then I picked up my minutes of meeting from the desk, headed to the door and gave Brenda a bang on her back and said” well people are last to know when they fall in love Brenda."
"Do you mean you have fallen for someone?” Brenda said while her eyes were popping out of here face.
I came back to here, kneeled to her ears and said "well, I guess so, and as the king of rock and roll said, only fools rush in, but I can’t help, falling in love with you.” gave her a kiss in the check, and headed for the meeting room. Monday went fine, then came Tuesday, Wednesday and my hyper started slowing down. I started missing Kevin , asking myself, why he didn’t call, and convince myself that he might be busy, or that he might not have understood what’s going on with me , but he was the one who asked to meet on public place, I mean the projects were something that could wait till he comes back, they were just an excuse to meet, and why would he ask me to stay after talking about his project, chemistry was there between us, no doubt about it, but the question pops again "why didn’t he call?"

next day was Thursday , I was working with a colic at work on Kevin’s project, and many questions started coming up regarding the designs, we usually assume things, and not get to our clients till we meet them, but to me it was a good reason to call, at least to know if he was alright. I went to a room where no one was there, got his card out of my wallet, picked up the phone, and started dialling his cell number. The phone started ringing and my heart beat started going faster, and faster, then ringing stopped and his warm voice answered
"Kevin bocher"
I had that felling a gain in my stomach, but I took a deep breath, and started” hello Kevin this is Richard"
"Hi Richard, I’m busy at the moment, I’ll call you back” he said 
“sure Kevin” I answered him back, but he hung up, I couldn't believe how rude he was, I didn't ever get the chance to answer him back, I didn't mean anything to him, if I did, he could have at least asked me how am I or say something to me, anyways, I pulled myself up to normal, and went back to work.

I waited for him to call convincing myself that Kevin was really busy, but no one called. I kept asking Brenda if anyone has called, and crossing my fingers that Kevin’s' name will be between them, but no luck was there. Anyhow, on Friday the same thing happened, I waited for him to call but he didn’t. I stayed home on Friday evening and kept checking my cell phone to see if I had missed his call, it was every fifteen minutes I checked the phone, although I had it with me all the time, I started getting depressed, really gloomy, and on Sunday I thought to myself, why don't I call him, he might not have my number, he might have lost it, or left it in the office, anyways he was out of town, and I decided to call. I sat in the sitting room, had his number out, and dialled the number and kept it ready for connecting me to him, but didn't send it yet, I had to be ready, how should I start, what should I say when he picks up, and should I blame him for not calling back, anyways, I decided to just call, I did, I pressed on the button which said send, and waited, listening to my heart beat, and the ring on the phone, when suddenly an unknown feminine voice answered
"Hello" she said
“Hello, may I talk to Mr Kevin Boucher please"
"Who’s this?"
"This is Richard Brown” I replied while thinking, what this bitch has to do with Kevin’s phone
A moment of silent appeared on the phone, and then she answered back
"He is really busy, may I take a message"
"No thanks” I said in a depressed voice.
