Miss Chocolate September

They met in September. His first impression of her was that she was “intriguing”. Maybe someone he would like to befriend and explore what she is like as a person. Her wants, her likes, her needs and hobbies. He does not see her that often, however when he does the need to want to get to know her better surfaces again. When he does see her, their eyes meet from across the room and maybe a small smile ensues. She speaks. He speaks. He wonders what she is thinking. What’s behind one of the most beautiful and endearing smiles he ever saw? The way she holds her head. Her long shoulder length hair.

It’s a little difficult to see her. Her normal area is a little out of reach. And so is normally the type of people she works for and with. It makes it difficult for him to talk to her. But still he tries. She seems a little distant at times. But still he tries. He sends some small token of endearment periodically…chocolate…in hopes that…well just in “hopes”. Sometimes he feels that it’s a little redundant to send it to her but it’s only because he does not know a lot about her. But he does know she like chocolate. So that’s what he sends. Hoping for nothing in return, other than putting a smile on her face. That wonderful smile. When he sees her at different office events, he steals a look, as much as he can, hoping no one will notice. He likes to watch her walk. He wonders if she knows he is looking. If she feels "funny" for some reason. Maybe not.

He would love to have lunch with her. To talk. To get to know her. To break bread and get inside her mind. The bits and pieces he knows of her will hopefully be tied together. He knows or seems to remember she was from up north. Not sure where. Maybe the land of Stepping? Maybe one day she will honor him in letting him take her out to lunch. Nothing fancy.. just two friends getting to know one another. That is all he wants. That will make his soul happy. To know.. that a woman that he often thinks about, one that he finds so intriguing, would share just a little time with him.

But to him… it will probably never happen. Because of her position. He can only see her and admire her from a distance. To continue to steal looks. To continue to share only a smile and a head nod in passing. Knowing deep down inside, there will always be a "void". No, it will probably never happen...sadly. The void of wanting to know her a little better will probably not be filled. But still he tries, waits, hopes.. and sends…..chocolate. Continue Reading!
