"Sometimes, we are so smitten with happy endings, that we believe we'll end up with one too."
Ambrosia Bellemore never believed in happy endings, even though the books she read said otherwise. The closest she ever came to magic was when she found th...
"I was sleeping, Timothy." I say with a shake of my head.
"Why were you sleeping here?" He asks incredulously.
"Where..?" I trail off. I was in my office.
How?
"And why were you cuddling with these shoes?" He asks, pointing at the ruby red heels.
Holy shit.
I stared at the heels for a solid minute, trying to recollect how we'd ended up together.
"Stop staring like you're in love with it." Timothy snapped.
"Oh shit, I fell asleep in my office." I groan, massaging my sore neck.
"It's the alien." I hear Timothy mumbles under his breath. I didn't have the strength to glare at him.
"What day is it?"
"Sunday."
"Oh, come on." I groan.
"Why don't you head home? The office is empty."
"Then why are you here?"
"I..I forgot something in my office." He twiddles him thumbs, smiling sheepishly.
"Green? What is it?"
"Calum, I think..I think I'm in love."
"You think?" I scoff, running a hand through my messy brown hair.
"This time, I'm sure of it."
"You said that last time too, Tim. I bet you even bought a ring."
"Which I'd forgotten in my office." He sighs. "But this isn't like before. There was no spark last time.." He says in a dreamy voice.
I roll my eyes.
"Your veins don't run with electricity, Green."
He gives me a look that says 'duh'.
"There wasn't music when our eyes clashed."
"I told you to hire some musicians to accompany you last time." I point out. He glares at me.
"My heart didn't beat frantically at the sight of her."
"Excessive increase in heart rate can result in death, Green." I say in a monotonous tone.
"Will you shut up?"
"You don't tell your employer to shut up, Green."
"Oh come on!"
"What?"
"I'm going to propose to her tomorrow night. The least you could do is show some support." He sighs dramatically.
"Take her to a nice restaurant."
"She's in Sydney. I'll be flying over there in...an hour." He says, checking his watch.
"You flew all the way here to get back the ring?" I ask in disbelief.
He shrugs.
"Love makes us do strange things." He says airily.
I stare at the heels I'd been cuddling with in my sleep.
Grunt.
"Your new assistant will be coming tomorrow, Green. Be nice to her, please." Timothy says and walks out.
"Sure, sure."
I stare at the heels again after he's gone.
"You heels from the Underworld, I must destroy you."
"Did the alien possess you body again, Achorn?" Timothy shouts from the next cabin.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." I mumble, gesturing to one of my bodyguards to bring my car and take me home.

Hola! I just wanted to say that since my exams are about to arrive, I might not update any of my books until 23rd September, 2017. But I'll be back with a bang after that, since I'll have my holidays and lots of free time to write! Thank you, ciao.
