Before him joining the company, people around me have already gossiped about him and how I should be careful about him.
Then, on a good day, just like every other work day, someone joined the table we normally sat.
It wasn't new for me to see a new face around there, so I didn't pay much attention to it and besides he wasn't sitting close to obstruct my movement or distract me from performing my duties.
Yes, mornings are always busy for me.
I just choose to notice whoever I want to because I need to attend to a lot of things and people.
Most of the people I attend to won't even understand how I still recognise and pick interest in them.
Then, one of my bosses came and greeted him well, welcoming him to the team.
He gave him some pep talk before casually introducing him.
That was when it all began ahhhh I was just checking this guy out.
He is so handsome, tall, and smells nice with a beautiful smile and voice.
Leave it 😍 I was just out but maintained my cool,that's if I actually did 🤔nobody noticed, so I did maintain my cool😂😂😂
I continued to do my normal duties at work without getting involved with the guy because I wasn't supposed to.
Deep down me, I really wanted to, I encouraged myself with "you can just be friends with him."
Days passed to week, there wasn't a chance for me to know him.
I totally gave up and focused on work that gave me lots of happy and busy moments.
Until one day, my luck bounced back.
A staff member in his team wanted to leave for work and asked for his permission, which he directed the person to meet me and call him for confirmation.
When the person came, I truthfully told the person I didn't have his phone number because I wasn't supposed to, but the staff member who couldn't understand gave me his phone number and pleaded I call him so he could take his leave without any problems.
Truth is, I could have used the staff member phone to make that call, but I chose to use mine so I could get his number, and he gets mine as well.
Oh, what a sweet game.
After the call, everything changed, and we became close without anybody's knowledge.
We could chat and talk to each other on the phone but act casual when we see each other at work.
The relationship wasn't right.
I have fallen in love, which I shouldn't.
I accepted the fact.
"I have heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime"
I am ready to risk the outcome other than lose this feeling and excitement that comes.
It was sweet, I was happy, it was beautiful.
Playing "Dandelions by Ruth B" reminded me of the whole thing.
Truth it, I never thought I could have a chance with him.
And it all felt like a well played game, but it was all good, really.

Yes, at this point, I could shout, "Rise the volume and put it on repeat."
It was as if Ruth B sang the song for me.
And if it was her experience, then I was not mad to experience something similar.
It's all good because at some point, i felt some kind of way and full of guilt.
Other principles of life were against this situation.
It happened anyways.
Listen to this song today and tell me if you have experienced something similar too.
Love is beautiful. It should be enjoyed and experienced by all.
Don't hold back.
