3 love at first sight

For most of my life, I thought love was not meant for me. As an emotionally scarred lady I never even thought I'd be able to commit to a relationship And then He came.

My king, my Inspiration, my Everything. Giving love a chance is worth it only because of you.

Excited, Teresa drops the pen and closed her diary… then she worriedly took off her rope and got ready to hit her target of the day.

Teresa has worked at the assorted Restaurant since she was a kid. She lost her both parents to a ghastly motor accident in which her boyfriend happens to be the driver. A few years later, she lost her boyfriend from severe spinal cord injury.

Oh! How can I ever survive this, she muttered to herself?

Over the years, Teresa would only work to keep the family business running.

It wasn't enough that she got a charming feature. She was a very popular chef in the whole of Bosnia city, where she has spent most of her life with her family.

Good morning everyone! I hop you all had a beautiful night of rest. I want you to step up your game if you must win any prizes! Furthermore, I want something extraordinary! Let take this restaurant to a new level! Are you all with me? Then let go, achievers.

As she speaks with a Stern but smiling face… All that runs through Sean's head was how he could taste the Jambalaya Rice that made him salivating.

Sean! I didn't know you will be here this early. The restaurant opens at 8am prompt, sir.

Oh! Well, it's 7:30am, I will just wait a few more minutes. Teresa smiles sheepishly then courtesy and made a gesture to Sean to relax while she quickly rushed to her office.

Teresa could hear herself panting so hard, she tried to inhale and exhale some air, but it wasn't helping. Relax Reza she pat herself on the chest then sat on her chair and swing round. She began to question herself to while she keeps getting these feelings whenever she set her eyes on Sean, but no answers.

Sean, a young man in his late Forty's has been having his breakfast since the past three years. He will drive in every morning before leaving for the clinic.

Sean was a soft-spoken young man, tall slender chest…his choices of outfit were topnotch. His smiles will melt every woman's heart, he was just a lady's-man.

It's been five years since Teresa lost the three people who were so dear to her heart. She will often tell herself" am a boss lady I can need no man, love is never an option.

But Teresa life was about to change for the worst. It was a rainy morning, Teresa has arrived at the Restaurant earlier than her staffs. However,she was stocked in her car as the results of the heavy down pour. While she tried to figure out how to get in her office, she saw a car drove In. Sean. Immediately, she could feel her heart beating fast. Get hold of yourself she said, then relax her Head on her car seat. Lost in her own naughty thoughts, she could hear Ben who was standing with an umbrella waving through the glass for her to come out. What! Is this a joke? How do I tell this man I can't stand him nor look at his face? Where has he been and do I feel this way whenever I see him? Do want to come out or ? Sean who acted like he could hear her thought aloud gesture for her to come out.

Without wasting much time, she arranged herself opened the door and held unto the umbrella with her left hand while holding her pause with the other. For a moment both of them stopped breathing. They looked into each other's eyes and then both quickly look away and at once the move inside.

Thank you so much Sean. You deserve a plate of chicken curry sauce, but not to worry all on me. He smiled and said you are welcome. I could dry your blazers it won't take Time that is if you don't mind. Sean try to remove his blazer but before he could finish, Tereza raise his arms and try to pull it out. Her body smells like lavender. Sean felt his breathing getting heavily he just wanted to escape But he turned to leave Tereza leaped and stood on toes to get to his height then kissed him.

Sean couldn't believe he has been kissed by a goddess. he quickly picked up his breakfast and headed to the clinic.

Teresa woke up feeling so much feverish that she decided to work from home.

while working constantly typing and staring at her laptop,she dosed off sooner. in her sleep she has dreamt of Sean and a strange woman.

in her dreams Teresa was putting on a beautiful ball gown a pair of beautiful silver shoes, decorated with some peddles, it was what looks like an engagement party.

she stood in front of the mirror admiring herself and suddenly a woman grabbed her hair dragging her out.

she screamed! for help, but there's nobody else in there. suddenly Sean came to her rescue. but the woman was quick. she stabbed Sean and vanished.

Teresa couldn't help but weep...she help she's head and placed him on her lap.she screamed so much that she woke panting and scared.

she woke confused and upset, she can't tell what the dreams might be.

she was still in her thought when she heard a knock on her door.this scared her even more because she wasn't expecting any one. she gathered herself and opened the door but what she saw even shook her more.

on Seeing Sean all the scenes in her dreams started replaying on her head. for a moment she stood there confused.. when a voice brought her back to her Senses.

It okay… hmm…if you're not going to invite me into your house. I was passing by, I thought I should check on you. We're left the restaurant earlier yesterday, and today you are working from home?

Teresa I... please forgive my manners… come in.

The room , a typical lady's room. It smells of Lavender and Oud de vanille.it was Sean's favorite fragrance…apart from that, he brings him a soothing nostalgic. His estranged wife wears this fragrance always.

Coffee? Oh, sure.

Cookies? No, thanks, coffee is just fine.

Alright. Teresa handed him over a cup and sat on the cushion opposite his.

For a moment, both became silent…ah, you have got a nice place for yourself.

Thanks, my whole family use to leave here until I lost my parents.

Yeah, even though you were never home? She smiles …yes, after high school I left to the city.

So, tell me, what does it feel like handling such a big and unique restaurant?

Well…. I had no intention of changing the legacy of my parents, just want to enhance it.

I intend to improve the standard of the restaurant so much that. Every recipe can be prepared.

Wow! You're not just beautiful, but intelligently smart. She stylishly smiled and say thank you before dropping her cup.

Tell me about your work? Like to know how it feels like to be a gynecologist!

Wait to you have to come for Antenatal…both chuckle. Sean dropped his cup and fixed his gaze on Teresa, who focus on the series going on the TV.

Teresa noticed Sean was staring at her, so she tried to drop the cup in the hand, but the coffee poured out. Oops. Are okay?yeah, just a spill. Sean raise her rope below, her heart beating fast… I'm not hurt, just a little spill.

Alright, can I check that? Such a gentle man, she thought. Sean asked for ice, which was placed on her thigh. Sean's massage her thigh for a while before leaving the ice on it. This should do, he said.

All this while her right hand was on his shoulder, Sean raised his head and felt like kissing her at once. But before he could know it, Teresa grabbed his neck with her two hands and began to kiss him.

Sean grabbed her waist then raised her up before dropping her on the dinner table.

He quickly unbuttoned his shirt, removed it before concentrating on Teresa. Both kissed passionately until they were satisfied and fell on the bed with their backs.

Sean:oh Teresa I have got an appointment in half an hour from now, I must go darling. He squeezed her mouth in kisses and left.

She took her diary and began to write: Dear diary, my life is about to take a new page! I'm super excited and at the same time nervous.

Sean is all I have hoped and waited for, …. I don't want this opportunity to pass me by, so wish me luck and see u soon. She closed her diary, flung the fridge opened and took out some cast role sauce she had brought with her from the restaurant.

She just started eating when she got a call from her restaurant.

Teresa had submitted a proposal earlier at a press company, which she had been hoping for a positive reply. If this works out as planned, she might be traveling out of the city for a month or two.

Lucio press company have one of their biggest branch at the heart of the city. Teresa envision opening a mini. Cafeteria within the company plaza. This will ease them the stress of going out to eat and also give them the comfort of choosing from a variety of dishes.

Once she got the call, she rushed down to the Restaurant quickly and carefully read through the documents then took a deep breath.

At the close of work, she had informed the supervisors to convey for a brief meeting which she, disclose the good news.

She began by saying: our long waited

Good news is here! She continues with a smiling face this time, ...

I also commend your unrelenting efforts in bringing this to reality! Without been told our next project even though it's not a mega one yet requires your collective efforts. I am grateful to you all and get ready for the next face.

Whatever decision we have come up, you are expecting to convey to your respective staff.

Tomorrow we shall have a committee of six people in other to come up with the settings of our new cafeteria, thank you all and congratulations on your added bonuses.

It was a breakthrough for whole Staffs because this means increase salaries and if possible more staffs will come in.

Teresa who was great with her managerial skills has won the heart of everyone as she constantly appreciates the smallest efforts made by her employees. She gives them equal treatment and respect, even to the janitor.

Most of the employees had work with her parents before their untimely demise. They have all refused to leave even when the restaurant stop running at some points due to bankruptcy. When Teresa remembers those days, she felt like hugging them one after the other.

She packed feel clothes and got ready for the city. Teresa, who had a phobia for, driving a lone road, she was accompanied by Vicente….a young man who worked all her life at the Assorted Restaurant was ready to go anywhere for and with Teresa. He and Teresa grew up in the same street and have been close pals from childhood. Vicente started developing some romantic feels towards Teresa, who never pauses to notice him.

Vicente said to himself, he will be patient until when she is ready to see what he has in-store for her. But since Sean had entered The picture, Vicente had become insecure and also upset.

Vicente arrives at Her apartment and waited for her in the car. The last time he was in her apartment alone he tried to kiss her which made Lisa so angry, he wouldn't want such scenario to occur again. Vicente was a more of a reserve and pensive man, a thing he has in common with Sean.

He was well-behaved and also had his head up when he walks. He was loved by everyone, just like Teresa, growing up in their hood. People will always refer to the two as couples. But Sean did not see that happening now or ever. Lisa is Obviously happy with Her new-found love. He has never seen her this happy since she lost her parents to that fatal motor accident. Just before he could pick up his phone and informed her of his presence, she came out just as he was about to give her a call. She threw her box at the passenger's seat and sat at the front seat next to Vicente.

Let get to work! …she said as she pat him.

Both had driven for four hours and were both exhausted. Their meeting with the Lucio-press company will commence in an hour's time.

Both entered their hotel rooms, which were Adjacent to the meeting venue. Vicente which both could share a room, but he would rather not offend her, so he did just as she had which. She quickly unpacked her luggage, took a nap, and then got ready for the meeting.

Lucio-press company was a big place as she feed her eye's with the beautiful decor's.

Good morning Madam. Chef Teresa! Yea?

Yeah! Please, can you come with me? Oh! Sure.

She was taken to an office, it was a well furniture apartment, a long round table which everyone sat quietly. Immediately she entered the room, all eyes were on her, she felt like running back. But she managed to walk forward.

A young man draw out a chair and ordered her to seat. She sat quietly trying to guess what exactly will happen next.

After a brief meeting that appears to be more of a negotiating meeting. They reached an agreement, both the Parties exchanged handshakes, and soon Teresa left for her hotel room.

How did the final meeting ends?

It was a success! It wasn't as though as I have ought it should?

Well, thank goodness it ended a success…now we can finally spread our wings… I mean assorted restaurant in Lucio-press!

Excited, Vicente and Teresa went out for a launch, after which she returned to her hotel.

Sean, who has been busy at work, couldn't stop thinking about Teresa. He hasnt seen her in the past 24 hours, he wished she would just appear with a surprise dinner for him… But little did he know she has been busy herself.

Teresa in her hotel room thought of calling Sean to tell him about her emergency meetings and how it went. Just needed someone to share the good news with.

He could be busy with work, she presumed? Will just drop a voicemail for him. Just then, she realized that she never had his contact. She frowned her face at how disappointed it felt that moment.

She thought of contacting her restaurant to get his contact, but how awkward! I'm not sure of what to do at the moment. She switched on the TV to her favorite station, and watched how the chefs displays their creativity on different dishes and it makes her feel good. she watched and try to copy some of the recipes been displayed....Just then her phone began ringing.....she quickly answered and kept mute trying to detect who it was.

After a while, she heard a calm, soothing voice.

Hello! Chef Teresa? please can you take my order, the voice noted?

Yes, please your address and name.

I thought you never say a word chef…

Well, may I take your order now, please. Lisa who knew it was Sean talking didn't want to spoil the fun so continued with her formal way conversation.

Well, a plate of jambalaya rice, chicken cast role sauce garnish with love and to be delivered by the Chef herself.

Teresa couldn't hold any more,, so she chuckled and both busted laughing. What about a dinner with you tonight, my queen? Well, I love to, but then I would have to drive 4 hours back home.

You mean? Yes, am at the city for a meeting… I'm done now and will be heading home.

Not so, said Sean, what if I come to pick you home?

That sound cool! She said. But it will take too much of your time.

I don't have any serious appointment for the next two days, so am as go to go… just wait for me there.

There was a knock at her door? Come in she said:

Vicente : we should be leaving in the next 45 minutes.

Ah. Vicente you go ahead, I will join you later.

We will be having a meeting with all the supervisors and our supply teams just informed them until we arrived.

May I know why you are staying back, without me knowing too well you can't drive alone for such a distance.

Don't worry yourself, I will be just fine…

He wasn't convinced, so he waited. He wanted to know who kept her from going home.

I'm not leaving here without you!

I just told you, am fine!

Good then, but we leave together. And that's final. She knows how much strong will he could be,, so she just left him win.
