Story for the Worker

That's it! I've had it with dating! It always ends up in disaster! I'm going to be completely dating free from now on! That's what I thought three months earlier.

It's Valentine's Day, but more Gloomy Day for me. I have had many dates, no matter how Handsome or Sexy he was, to me not one was my true love. So, I dragged myself into work, hoping the day will pass by quickly, but I was wrong.

As I got to the office, everyone was all extremely happy, chattering away about their plans for the evening, and yes, I felt jealous, at that moment i wished I had that someone special to spend the day with. No one asked me whether I had any plans, I suppose they all knew my dates ends in disaster. But I should have been more suspicious.

It's five o'clock and finally home time! I couldn't bear hearing any more about sexy plans for the evening, or or how they met their True love. I gathered my things and started to head out the office, when a handsome man approached me, "Miss Alenya? Please come with me". I asked him why and he stated "I'm Mark, your Valentine", I looked around and realised everyone was still there and cheering! "Sorry! We couldn't help ourselves, we couldn't let you be alone on a day like this! Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy, he's yours for the night!" someone shouted.

And so I did, it was a perfect night. I couldn't believe my luck when the date ended on my doorstep and not one disaster!

But it didn't end there. I couldn't stop thinking about him, how handsome he is. I even discovered Mark was a male escort ordered by my colleagues as a joke. I was tempted to 'order' him.

Yet Mark returned to my work place a week later announcing that he has quit he job to ask me out as he found me too 'sexy' to be single.

Ten years and three children later, I've found my true love even if he was a male escort.
