REUNION

My dream was finally coming to reality, I walked down the aisle to meet the perfect man I'd been searching for, waiting for me at the altar. I looked around and saw all the people I loved, my mom, my friends including my enemies, actually, my only enemy but it didn't matter, today was a good day, and nothing, no one was going to ruin it. I stood before the altar facing my groom, the long-awaited moment was finally here, we smiled at each other knowing we were all we'd been praying for. I said my vows with an outburst of joy in me, but I couldn't bring myself to say two words " I do" A sound kept distracting me, and I looked about to find the menace of a sound ruining the moment. It sounded familiar, that was my alarm, " why the hell was it ringing?" I looked about looking for it, but it seemed invisible to my eyes, soon it became louder and unbearable, and I finally woke up... to reality.

 It was my fucking alarm, gosh! no way all that was a dream. It was all so perfect, just the way I had always imagined and wanted. Still lying on the bed, I closed my eyes to return to the altar to be with my groom, to change back into my beautiful white gown, but it was futile, my soul wouldn't teleport to the wedding venue. I kicked and groaned in frustration at my messed-up delusion. But I didn't despair, this was the universe giving me signs that we were meant to be and would soon be together, and if I'm correct, this should be sign 615...yeah, sign 615! been hitting on Phil for what now, two years I think. Maybe, this is the universe telling me it's time I make the move on him, and I'm doing just that at work today. speaking of work... oh my gosh, I'm freaking late! 

 Minutes later she was ready for work. Big day at work today, The Boss has something important to announce, she was told, and if she wants that promotion she's been asking for, for about a year now, if so bad, she had to be there before him. Making partner at LAWSONS LAW FIRM had always been a dream for her and she was this close to reaching it and was about to blow it if she didn't get there in the next twenty minutes. luckily for her, the traffic wasn't much so she got to work before her boss, Mr. Damian Lawson. Minutes later he arrived, he was in his late fifties but he was still agile and steady like a youth, even read without glasses and went mountain climbing occasionally, they all concluded he was mysterious. 

 she entered the board room, which was unusually quiet. " good morning" to no one in particular, some answered back, some with a wave. she looked about to find the nearest available seat, which happened just the one beside the man of her dreams and in her dreams, Phil Stone, this was more than a coincidence, nature was giving her very clear signs! She took the seat beside him at the same time planning the next move...

As she took the seat beside Phil, her heart was beating so fast she could barely control her breathing. This was the moment she had been waiting for, and every fiber of her being was telling her that it was meant to be. Phil spoke up, interrupting her thoughts, and she felt a sudden rush of excitement mixed with nerves.

"You're late," he said, and she could feel her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She tried to speak, but all that came out was a stutter.

"H-huh... I, uh, actually... got... caught in traffic," she finally managed to say, feeling like a fool.

But before she could say anything else, Mr. Damian walked in, and they all greeted him in unison. As he took his seat, the room fell silent, and they all waited with bated breath for him to speak. Finally, he spoke.

 "Some changes will be taking effect from now and your opinions are not needed' he said bursting into a very loud laugh. They looked at one another, then laughed awkwardly at his weird joke, easing the tension in the room. ' I need someone over there at the branch in Florida...Ms. Brittany' my heart raced to hear him call my name, the fear of his next words made me swallow a spittle,' I was being transferred?; I was praying in my heart it was.... ' could you open the windows please, it feels hot in here.' he said finally.

 I stared at him, shocked and disappointed, not believing my ears. 'sorry?'

 ' windows I said' pointing towards them'

 'Yeah; I got up and did as I was told, burning with rage inside. 

 ' Yeah, that's better. so, as I was saying, Lawson's Law Firm has been expanding rapidly over the past year, and we have decided to open a new branch in Florida. I need someone capable and reliable to head up this new venture, and after careful consideration, I have decided that Phil Stone is the perfect person for the job."

Brittany's heart sank as she heard the news. She had been hoping for a promotion, and now it seemed like her dreams were slipping away. But she knew that she couldn't let her disappointment show, not in front of her colleagues, not in front of the guy she liked

"Congratulations, Phil," she said, forcing a smile. "That's a great opportunity for you."

"Thanks, Brittany," Phil replied, smiling back at her. "I'm really excited about it."

"So; Mr. Damian continued, get your things ready you resume by Thursday, congratulations again. Secondly, Brittany will be taking over Phil's position and I'll be taking some months off work, the doctor's order. I'm bringing someone in to take over my position as the head, he.. huh should be here right now; looking at his watch, well, he'll be taking over as the CEO...oh, speak of the devil, there he is.' shifting his gaze towards the figure coming into the meeting room. They all turned to see who the new mysterious fellow was, Brittany stared like she was seeing a ghost.... " everyone this is my son, Matt and he will be taking over as the CEO" 

 Brittany was speechless, it was definitely her only enemy in the world...Matt.
