1 PROLOGUE

I presumed love to be a ride on a roller coaster. I watched several movies and believed myself to be the next big shot in the realm of romance. Only time could tell, I was completely inexperienced in the aspect of a love story, yet I was eager to embark on a journey to find my one true love and gain experience in the sinful act I wish I had experience in.

On a bright sunny day, morning birds singing, cars driving by in haste to beat the rush hour and my usual self getting out of bed by 7am, to embark on the events of the day. Six months had passed since I got my new job, I was yet to see the lady I will like to spend forever with. The few I met were either too non-chalant, unreasonably over emotional, last but not the list, fake in every way. That was me judging them by their looks and character. The repulsive part of it was, everyone assumed i was in a existing relationship. Fact is I was either too close to be called a lover, or too absent minded to notice the ladies that harbored romantic feelings towards me. Don't get me wrong, I obviously still kept my eyes open for love. My new job was at a photography and modeling agency called (PROCAM), I am a photographer by profession. I get occasional praises for being a genius behind the camera. I got recruited by the company and life has been turning out pleasantly. The company recently offered me a contract, for the company's magazine cover page. I was to present my work within a giving period of time.

I heard the ladies voice from behind me. I was currently busy with the shoot for the companies magazine's cover page at the newly renovated studio. I was really excited, as it will be a smashing contract for my bank account and pocket, if I did what was precisely needed. Let's get back to her voice, it was as pleasurable as a cold bath on a sunny day, I could detect her fragrance from the very few present. It was the most pleasant and unique scent, something in the line of jasmines and strawberries. It outstandingly and literally overshadowed my fragrance, believe me I outdo myself with the perfumes. I really needed to gaze upon this being, before letting my heart race. I focused my camera towards her direction, my world paused in a trance. She had the most beautiful smile, her eye's, oh my!, they got me hooked on a crush overdose. I realized she was staring and smiling at my camera, at me?. In my wonderment, I struggled to let myself let go of the camera while battling with my nerves. The lady took pleasant and rythmic strides towards my direction, I could hear the sound of my heart pounding rapidly. I had this notion that if I took the camera down, she would suddenly disappear. The lady was finally standing in front of me, now I had to let go of the day dream, I dropped the camera so it swayed from hanging on my neck. With the sweetest voice she said, "hello!", those words made the butterflies go crazy in my veins. She looked like a striking 6ft2 inches, her skin equal to the vibrance of honey, her eyes slanted in a way i found dangerously captivating, she had curves equal to that of a million dollar worthy video vixen, she wore such innocence on her magnificent bold and beautiful face. I realised it wasn't a dream , all eyes were stylishly fixated on the both of us.

"hello miss?" I replied sluggishly, stretched out my hands for a shake and that was the final push, her palms were as fluffy as clouds, I am not quite sure if clouds can be felt, but you get my point...soft!!. She had proven nothing but I was too far gone and head over hills for this damsel.

Later that evening after the whole scene in the studio, I was on my way to a date or in context I'll say, a private chit chat with the acting CEO of the company's branch in Lagos, Nigeria. She is known as Miss Shelby Suleiman, the only cousin to the president of (PROCAM). The chairman relocated with his family to head the branch in Canada a few years back. He entrusted the head branch in the capable hands of his only cousin Shelby. She specifically chose me for the shoot concerning the companies magazines cover page, this was the first time I laid eyes on my boss in all the six months I worked for the company.
