Terrence fell silent as the sparkle of green from the entrance of the room caught his attention.

It was her…

The woman from the airport! The one whose eyes he had tried oh so very hard to forget. Those eyes had that had seemed to have housed so much pain that they could over flow. Those eyes seemed to remind him of himself from a very different time. A very dark time where pain and sadness were his only companion in his life.

Terrence felt an inexplicable urge to just go and talk to her, to hear her speak, to hear her tell what exactly had made the light to leave her eyes, to comfort her and to tell her that everything was going to be okay.

It seemed that the mysterious woman had been accompanied by Chelsea his personal assistant. She was gorgeous though with her emerald green shimmering under the fluorescent lights like firefly lights in the sky. The dress made a beautiful contrast with her pale skin and made Terrence wonder if her creamy skin was even half inviting as it seemed. She didn’t have a lot of makeup on her face but it was a refreshing sight that all men in the room seemed to appreciate.

Terrence had seen a lot of beautiful women in his life time but the brunette vixen that stood in front of him was simply from out of this world.

“Whoa…out of this world? Snap out of it Terrence! You are behaving just like a love sick school boy” Terrence chided himself when he realized that he had been staring at her since she walked into the room.

Serena had walked into the wedding hall with little to no expectation of enjoying the wedding. The only reason she had actually even agreed to come was to simply get Chelsea off her back. Then again she couldn’t deny that if she had remained in that house for even a second more then she was sure that she would go crazy.

“You’re at a wedding Serena, the least you could do is try not to look as though you were brought to the gallows .Its basic manners after all. Let’s not forget that you were the one who agreed to come in the first place.” Chelsea whispered at her side as they walked.

Serena rolled her eyes at her sister. Chelsea was always a stickler for manners right from when they were younger.

‘If I had said that I wasn’t going to come, then would you have left me off the hook?’ Serena thought sarcastically.

Serena paused her eye roll midway when she felt that someone was staring at her intently. She raised her eyes to meet the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen. They were as dark as midnight and seemed to sparkle under the lights of the wedding hall….completely mesmerizing. Those eyes seemed to house intelligence that stemmed from a wealth of different experiences and were placed in a strong masculine face. He seemed to look at her as if they could see right through her and it was a feeling that she didn’t quite welcome. It made her feel exposed and bare for the world to see almost naked if you will.

Serena sucked in her breath and looked away in haste. She had no business staring at any man; after all she had just lent a bitter lesson from one of them. She was here on mission which was to prove to both her sister and herself that she could carry on with her life without any hitches.

‘Yes I can do this’ Serena thought. No regrets…

Terrence walked towards her with out a second thought. It was as though he didn’t know what he was doing. All he knew was that he just wanted to know more about the woman that stood before him. It was a different experience for him as he had never felt like this before even when he was with Emilia. He just couldn’t describe what it was that drew him to her but he just couldn’t help himself.

He walked behind the duo as they were mid deep in introductions with the guests and cleared his throat to announce his presence. “Hello Chelsea.”

Chelsea turned around with a smile still on her face see just who it was that was calling her. It turned out to be her boss Mr. Logan.

“Hello sir.” She replied with a smile.

“How are you? I must say that you’ve done quite a fantastic job in assisting and monitoring planning of the wedding.”

Chelsea beamed in response to her bosses praise after all he never gave compliments easily.

“He must have really liked my work. Finally my effort is being recognized’ she thought happily

“Why thank you sir. I'm glad that the wedding was able to meet up to your standards”

Serena turned around to see her sister talking to the man that she had been staring at previously. She raised her eyes to meet the stranger’s eyes again. They stared at each other for what felt like hours even though it was just a minute. Serena felt her heart beat increase and wondered what could possibly be the matter with her.

“And this would be?” the stranger gestured to her.

“Oh! Where are my manners?” Chelsea said in a blur.

“This is my little sister Serena Asher and Serena, this is my boss, Mr. Terrence Logan” Chelsea said as she introduced them to each other.

Terrence stretched out his hand towards Serena in offer of a handshake. It would be childish of her to not return his handshake so Serena had to bring forth her hand however reluctantly. His hands seemed to engulf hers in a warm grasp and it made Serena feel light headed as though she had just gone running. He gave her hand a slight squeeze before gently letting go.

“Nice to meet you Miss Asher.” Terrence said to Serena with a light smile.

“Likewise Mr. Logan”
