One Night Was All It Took

by Tasneem S.

Everybody was boasting about the new boss and how he was super cute. I hadn't had a chance to look at him all day. so I decided to give and head home. As I walked into the empty elevator I started picturing my new boss and wondered how he looks like. Just then the elevator door opened, and a handsome guy walked in whom I had never seen before. It was the new boss!

The expensive designer suit made his tall lean body look even leaner. My eyes outlined the beautiful features of his face. his jaw line perfectly armored the dark pink lips of his. and the dark brown hair made his sea-green eyes sparkle. there was something familiar about his face. Just then my heart sank, I now realized where I had seen him before.

Memories that i had tried to delete from my past came back, flooding my head. senior year. Prom. One night, one mistake, was all it took to ruin my life. Now as i stood there in the elevator grasping reality, I couldn't hold back the tears. My boss turned to look to look at me.

I turned my head away. my legs started shaking and I clasped to the floor. He grabbed my hand trying to stand me upright again. i yanked my hand away and slapped him. I didn't know what had came over me. Then the truth finally came out.
