"Ai, I love you." I held her close to me and locked my arms around her waist taking full ownership.

　　I cannot explain the feeling of having her in my arms again. I cannot think of what to do just to satisfy the excitement and longing that I feel.

　　I cupped her cheeks and planted a kiss on her thin lips. It started slowly, and as much as I do not want to abuse her normal breathing, I can’t help but to want her more. It feels like a freaking lifetime that I was not able to hold her this tight, this close. I missed her scent. I missed the texture of her mouth. I missed how she tightly hold on my neck for assistance. I missed all of these things! Mika!

　　I pressed my lips harder against hers causing our lips to slide a little bit from each other. It brings me so much pleasure that I would want to grab and hold her harder. My hand crawled at the back of her head, massaging her soft hair but after a while ended up pushing her head on me bringing so much pleasure. I groaned hearing her soft breathings. For a while, I let go of her lips to let her regain her oxygen and bowed down to claim her neck. I almost cursed loudly when I heard her released a low groan after what I did. I greeted my teeth to stop this monster building up in my lustful, manly desires. Damn it.

　　My eyebrows met after hearing a strange sound. A ringing sound. It sounds like, what? A phone alarm? I slowly opened my eyes and I found myself lying on my bed half naked after the white ceiling greeted my eyes.

　　I doubled check everything around me and wandered my eyes inside my empty room. Damn. Without any force, I slapped by head using my right hand and let my palm rest right there as I tried to recover from heavy breathing. That dream. Damn it. Its just a dream.

　　I keep on dreaming about her. Its been four years but every memories flash in my mind like it only happened yesterday. I released a deep sigh before extending my arms trying to reach my phone from the side table to turn the alarm off. I removed the white comforter that’s hugging my waist and stood up. While facing on the tinted sliding door of the terrace, I saw a reflection of a topless man wearing a dirty white boxers, with a messy hair and a cold ruthless eyes. I saw myself that I can never recognise anymore.

　　The blinding light from the outside overwhelmed me after rolling the sliding door open. It irritates me real hard, huh?Dang!

　　“YOW! WAKE UP BRO! KHAI RAMIREZ!” My cell phone from the side table got my attention the second time when the alarm clock suddenly rang again, this time, with a different ring tone, dang? “YOW, YOW, YOW, YOW, YOW! ITS TIME TO WORK BRO! WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!” I scoffed hearing the big voices of my friends on the recording, they are really crazy nuts.

　　“Bro, we will wait for you at Carlo’s coffee shop, okay? They are offering hard meals already! Plus! Their coffee is really worth the gasoline of driving there.” From Lewis earlier, I can now hear Chad’s irritating voice.

　　“Dude! Come on! Get up now and lets roll the day! We must have fun later!” This time, it’s Drake.

　　“Khai, get up now. A lot of us is waiting for you to show up.” Clark’s voice is the last one I heard before the room gets silent again.

　　I stared at the table where the phone was for a couple of seconds. I took a deep breath before turning my gaze outside the door. The tall skyscrapers are standing proud in front of me. I am suppose to be watching this scenery of the whole city with her.

　　I leaned on the railing still facing the city. This is just another normal day. This day is nothing different to what I always had for the past four years; ordinary, bothering, boring, an agony.

　　I shrugged off whatever emotion I felt and just headed to the bathroom to prepare myself to go, not caring anymore if my phone’s alarm would ring again that would allow their voices to replay.

　　I’m going to work again. Just thinking of what mess I have with my employees already make my blood boil. The company is all good, I just don’t know why I am surrounded with idiots. Not even a single person can stay long of being my secretary for even a week. Im so tired meeting stupid and dramatic people. Tsk! I hope this will be the last time that I will be firing a secretary. What’s difficult about the job, though?! I just want someone who can multi-task, who can work cleanly and can take care of everything I needed! Dang. If the new recruit today wont show me these qualities, she’ll be then fired at the end of the day. I’ll make sure of that. They need to do their job right!

　　I stared at my dead reflection one last time before I went out with a black suit on. Lets get it done.
