Her laugh was striking...It permeated the room full of crowed co-workers and friends.
From across the room I could see her standing there, beautiful and elegant. Her knee high black strapless dress hugged every curve of her body. The black heels she had been wearing, made her look taller than she actually was.

I could tell she couldnt be any taller than 5'3, with heels on, it added 2 more inched to her height. From where I was standing she was picture perfect. My eyes  knowingly moved down to her smile.... Which seemed to light up the room. I found it cute how her dimples would protrude though her soft  cheeks as she stood there smiling away.

Her brightly colored red lip stick matched her mocha skin perfectly. Her exotic green/hazel eye's could make anyone fall in love with her...I couldn't help but notice her dark brown curly hair, which hid part of her face at times. She's  the sexiest women I've seen since I've been working here. She's smart, classy, everything good I could think of. Most of all she wasn't predictable like most women were.

She's more of a mystery...someone I want to know. The only thing stoping me from doing so  is her boyfriend Troy. Troy is your typical douche bag..everyone knows the type. Daddy owns wealthy company, son gets whatever he wants etc..etc.

Troy though he was better than everyone else. Even though he worked at his fathers company he knew shit about the company his father runs nor does he know how to run it.

Not only that..he walked around the office building like he was God's gift to women. After hearing him talking with a female co-worker a year back, I could tell that's how he felt about himself. I considered Troy to be a total dumb ass...a daddy's boy, at least thats what I call him.

Troy loved playing the boss role every chance he got. Somehow I think it made him feel like he had bigger balls than he actually did. I was never a big fan of Troys...but he has something I want and I intend on taking it.

"Brandon...there you are" I heard Troys annoying voice from behind me. "Oh great.." I thought to myself. Troy is the last person I wanted to be talking to at this moment.


As he approached me I could see he had on his usual expensive suit, way to fancy for this boring office party.  I wanted to turn around and say fuck off... that was until I seen Eva.

The smell of her perfume filled the surrounding air...my eyes slowly wanting to undress her. "How's it going Troy?" I glanced at him before bringing my attention back to Eva. "Miss Robertson.." I said gently tilting my head in her direction.  "Mr. Jackson" she replied with a smile.


 "So Brandon, how are things coming along? You seem a bit bored" "Yeah well..you know these office parties can be a bore at times" I found it hard to keep my eyes focused on Troy and his bullshit, Eva secretly had my full attention. "Yeah I would say so...parties are usually boring if you don't have anyone to accompany you, right Eva"  Troy laughed placing his hand on her lower back. 

Giving Troy an intense stare, again I focued on Eva. I could tell she was being effected ny the way I looked at her. She'd look at me then lower her eyes or simply look away. "Yeah sometimes they can be a bore" Eva replied. I tried to control my thought around her, but my mind started drifting off. While Troy continued his meaningless conversation...I wondered how her lips would feel on mines when we first kiss, how soft her skin would feel in my hands..."Damn.." 

"So Brandon, I take it...that your here alone as usual correct? what happend Brandon...no lady friend willing to accompany you or what?" At this point I literally could see myself punching him in the face. He's such a dick...always trying to use his best efforts to embarrass me in front of Eva.

What could she possibly see in a guy like him. He's a skinny twerp, living off his father at the age of 27. To me he didn't seem her type. They didn't fit together like most couples. All he cared about was money. I could tell by the clothes he wore. 

"Well Troy, we can't all be gods gift to women like you are" I said sarcastically. "Yeah, we can't all have a beautiful women like Eva at our side now can we"  "Oh Brandon, by the way how is your ex-girlfriend doing?" Troy asked. About a year ago I made the mistake of talking to a friend while on break during work, about breaking up with my ex Victoria and Troy just happend to be in the next room.

While Troy continued talking.... I focued once again on Eva. Troys voice begin to fade out.. I could on secretly think about taking Eva away from Troy. I wanted to take her somewhere safe, somewhere loving.. Feeling a hand on my shoulder I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. "Well..Troy I don't know, we haven't spoken in awhile." "Ah..yes, she had enough of you to I see." I couldn't tell Troy what I really felt about him to his face, he is in fact the boss's son.

"Eva...If I must say, you look beautiful as always.." Eva smiled at me softly. Thank you Brandon.." "I wouldn't say she looks that beautiful Bradon. I would have preferred her to wear her hair up instead of down. It makes her look a bit older than she is... right Brandon" At this point I could feel myself get angry. Who the hell do he think he is, to be saying such things.

"Well I personally think her hair is beautiful the way it is" "Yeah well it looks a bit rough to me." I could see the expression on Eva face change as Troy continued to talk. I wanted to take Eva and ensure her that she looked beautiful, but I knew I couldn't. "Well...I like it" looking up I flashed her a quick smile. I could feel Troys eyes burning a hole into my soul, as though he could read my exact thoughts.

"Um..Eva we need to go...Troy grabbed Eva's hand forcefully...

 "Man what a beautiful women she is...you know if she was mine, I would never let her leave my sight let alone be around that creep" Ryan took a sip of his wine as he scanned the room. What did he want anyway?" "Nothing as usual." Ryan is my bestfriend, we've been friends for 10 years. Hes more like my little brother. We grew up living next door, going to the same hight school and college. 

"Well Eva is fine...to bad she's with Troy" "Yeah..."  I watched Eva as she laughed and mingled with everyone. That's when I noticed she was watching me as well. I smiled and waved yet again she smiled and looked away. I admit, I got a little excited knowing that she was watching me as much as I was watching her.


"Look man, You can stand here but I'm going to go talk to Myra...she's looking good after a few drinks." Man that's messed up" ,Yeah I know" Ryan said as he made his way through the crowd over to Myra. After about 5 hours of mingling with co-workers and sipping on watered down drinks, I was ready to go. I said my good byes grabbed my jacked and headed out. On my way out , I noticed Eva stand by the door holding a  glass.

I secretly tried to fix my clothes not wanting to appear sloppy and tired. I kept walking trying hard to pretend not to see her.
"Going so soon?" I slowed down my pace... "Yeah...Im kinda beat. Its been a long 16 hour day."  This time talking to Eva I made it a point to keep eye contact with her. Each time we spoke she would quickly look away.

There is something about this women that makes all my senses aware of her presents. "Yeah I hear you. I'd rather be at home watch reruns on tv" "Yeah I know what you mean" For a moment there was silence. I noticed the way she was looking at me, her eyes told a story all there own, a story I wanted and needed to know. " I better be heading back before Troy comes looking for me. You probably have better things to do then stand here and talk to me about nothing" "Oh, I don't mind" Well..I wont keep you. I should be getting back anyway. I hope you weren't completely bored...Goodnight Mr. Jackson"  She said as she moved past me, slightly brushing my shoulder.

I turned and watched her walk away. The curves of her body hugged her dress  perfectly with each movement she made. I woundered about the body underneath the clothing. Most of all I wondered about her.
