*** I never questioned my sexual orientation, till the day I set my eyes on Ethan nill, my neighbour, I recently just got out from a heart wrenching relationship with my ex girlfriend mia, Ethan was the new neighbour and I was the neighbour next door, when I first set my eyes on Ethan, I wondered how a man could be so beautiful with a unearthly look which enthralled me, was it his piercing blue eyes or his nonchalant personality, I couldn't put a pen down on him, I found my self thinking that whom ever that can get the man would be the luckiest, all crazy fantasies I never knew I had swept right up the surface.
*** It's been two months since he moved in and I hardly saw him since, I knew what I felt wasn't right but I couldn't take the thought of him off my mind, I worked at a fashion company in New York , and I was one of the best designers on the company, a new collaboration was coming up and everyone was putting in alot of efforts to make sure it worked out, and today we would be meeting the manager incharge of the latest project.
*** I walked into the presentation with my gossipy desk mate fin, the two years I had come to work at trendy fashion house , fin had come to become my best friend and colleague and he was a very social person, practically a social butterfly, he just knew how to make people around him comfortable.
*** Our companies's CEO was Mr Paul , a 35 year old man with 2 kids, his wife was the vice president and from the little I knew about him , he was a good man until you gave him a reason not to be.
*** We soon walked him with his secretary who always wore his air of arrogance, we all sat down and soon the collarboratory company j.z styles fashion company walked in , and when I saw their manager my heart pulsed, it was none other than the man who had risen dark desires in me, he walked in, in a well polished suit, his hair neatly combed back wearing a peachy smile .
*** For a moment my gaze fell on on his and our eyes met as I felt my pulse race, he looked better as he had cleaned up, not wanting my gaze to linger , I got up to start the presentation.
*** After 2 hours of discussing and finally settling on and signing both contracts the meeting ended, and we had to escort them out.
** Mr Seth, someone called and I turned to see him walk up to me, hi am Ethan, you did a very good job on the presentation he said as he took my hands, thank you I said shaking him , even his hands felt well toned but also manly, he looked at me as if to ask why and I was still holding his hand, noticing that I removed my hand , apologies sir Ethan I was lost in thoughts.
*** You seem not to remember me I said and he looked confused, we live in the same condo, your place is just next to mine, what a coincidence, he said smiling, let's get along well them, he said walking away and my eyes couldn't help but trail after him, I seriously needed to get a rain check on myself, when ever am around him.
*** I returned from work exhausted and drained, I live in a condo on the outskirts of town, the view from my window was beautiful, one of the main reasons I lived here, after a warm shower and a hot cup of coffee, as it was winter season, I returned back to the uncompleted designs on my sketch book, the project was to design and release new winter clothing's as it was fast approaching and I needed to get my head in the game.
*** I was so much buried deep down on my work that I almost missed the knock on the door, opening the door I came face to face with Ethan who had a bottle of wine and wine glasses with in, may I? He asked and I nodded while making way for him to walk in, he was dressed in a casual wear, but it still did nothing to diminish his allure and aura.
*** You have a nice place, he said as he walked in looking around, I suddenly felt self conscious even though he wasn't looking at me.
