Some love stories are not meant to be -
not when the guy
I've fallen for is much older and has been in love with my mother for all these
years.

Never have had the playful banters.
Never have let her confess her feelings for me.
Never have tasted her sexy as sin lips.
Never have given into my primal temptations.
Never have let her work for me.
Never have indulged in her fantasies.
Never have let myself fall for real.
But it's too late now.

She sniffles, not making an attempt to stop her tears.
They slowly glide down her cheeks, shining like pearls in the brightly lit
hallway. So hauntingly beautiful—just like our
tragic love story.
“Once we
start, we won’t be able to stop. You and I both know this,” I state in a
trembling voice.
Cupping her
cheeks, I lean my forehead against hers, using every ounce of my willpower to
not crush my lips on hers. I’m holding on to my last strand of control.
She searches
my eyes for love that is no longer hidden behind a thin veil of anger and
prudence. Imploring me with her tenacious gaze, she plays on my vulnerabilities that are no longer guarded by my ironclad need to be righteous. She is
stripping away everything that was keeping me from her, and I’ve never felt so light and free.
My voice
can’t get through the ball of emotions stuck in my throat. It’s so easy to release the words frozen on my tongue - yes. But what would that
make me? I’m the adult here. The one who has
to shoulder her responsibility, while still being a man who keeps his word and
sticks to his principles. But how can I get myself to refuse her when she’s
looking at me like that? Like a mere yes from me and she’ll be the happiest—on
top of the world. I want that more than anything
else, but at what cost?
“I need
time. I really need to think this through. I don’t want to make a decision in
haste that I’ll come to regret later.”
My response
appeases her. Relief floods her eyes as her lips upturn.
I expect her
to peck me on the cheeks, like
she used to do before—teasing me, testing my
limits, and giving me hints. But to my
surprise, she doesn’t, and steps back instead, putting a respectable space
between us.
“Well, okay.
I understand. It’s still progress. I hope you’ll tell me your
decision soon. When we meet in the office,
perhaps?”
“Two days. You can start
in two days.” It's hard to contain my
eagerness. I was content with her learning from me
and just being around me, but her proposal has
opened up possibilities that I had never dared
to consider
before.
Her smile
widens, eyes gleaming with excitement. “Sure, boss. Whatever you say. I can’t
wait.”
She just
addressed me as ‘boss.’ Is that what she’d be calling me in the office?
I can’t wait to find out. Fuck. I love the sound of that.
“Okay then,
I’ll take my new car for a drive…see you soon.”
She waves
bye, swaying her hips as she heads out.
