Downloading Her Beautiful Dark Side

Sophistication, elegance, and beauty surround me. This is not the life I was born into, but it’s the one I built for myself. In order to protect it, everyone has to meet the very high bar I set in my personal and professional life. I am in a good place and everything is working according to my design. Then, I am invited to a banquet – one of the many events I attend throughout the year. It is an elegant affair and I enjoy the grand celebration but not so much the people I meet there.A woman walks over and rescues me from a pointless conversation with an associate. I learned that she has had her eyes on me for the past few events but is just now finding the courage to make her move. A woman has never declared her attraction for me before, and it piques my curiosity. Then just like that, the smile disappears and she wants to get as far away from me as possible. I am confused and she provides no reason for her sudden lack of interest. I press her for answers but she gets up from the table and walks away, leaving the event without saying goodbye. This is fate giving me an opportunity to protect the perfect world I have created. Still, I go after her the way she came after me, and I swiftly realize that the life I have lived has not prepared me for the woman I find. I refused to obey the flashing lights and now I am in a head-on collision with her beautiful dark side.
