Chapter 1 – Musings of the Past
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I often wonder why men and women put themselves through so much suffering in order to find their one true love. That one person, that would love and cherish you for better or worse for richer or poorer, until death do you part.
Love is a childish delusion.
Ninety-five percent of men, such as my co-worker Endymion are only after one thing. Lust not love. Nothing will ever force these creatures to commit. We cannot penalize them, and it is in their nature. Endymion is a dangerous man, a fairy tale tall dark and handsome. Well dressed, laden with big money, not to mention well "equipped".
Ah, you must suspect that he has jaded my heart. On the contrary, I am the only female to have yet to be jaded by the bastard in the company. Why do I have such a strong resistance towards his charms, while all others have been smitten by his disguised?
It is simple.
We grew up together.
I have known Endymion from the days I walked around in diapers. Actually, he found a great sense of duty to stuff sand down them at a regular basis. A boy three years my senior yet he never quite seemed to act his age. He would torment and tease me, I would cry, they would scold him. Growing up with Endy was not as horrible as it seemed, we did have our moments. As we grew older, nothing changed, he would torment, I would cry, he would panic, and I would laugh. It was a happy cycle of childhood friendship. Now all that was left was to grow up, fall in love and get married right?
HAH!
Life took a cruel bend in Endymion's senior year, his parents were killed in a car crash. Endy changed. He became cold and distant, he pushed everyone away including me. He graduated high school and with a cold "goodbye", he went off to University in North America. It was the last I saw of Chiba Endymion.
Or so I thought.
I was young, naïve and inexperienced, throughout my high school and university years. I was fortunate enough to have dated members of the five percent of the male population, able to willingly commit.
Nick was my first love, he was funny, handsome, popular, and a year older. I dated him throughout my freshmen and sophomore year in high school. What drew me to him was his mesmerizing smile, and charms. He always knew what to say and when to say. At the time I was positively sure he was the one.
To bad, he did not feel the same way. He did not love me, no he cared for me, but that was it. Therefore, we broke up at the end of my sophomore year, and he went of to England. It took me awhile to get over Nick, he was my first love after all. Nevertheless, we still stayed close friends, and to this day, he still writes of his adventures and antics.
I had dated the popular guy, and it did not work out so I tried the smart guy. Zach was my math tutor, he was an extremely intelligent, cute and adorably shy guy. Apparently he had been to busy with his nose buried in piles of books to notice the female population pass by. We were the same age, and yet sometimes Zach seemed more like a shy little boy. In our relationship, I brought him out of his closet and in turn, he showed me that there was more to science and the world then boring textbooks.
Now, unlike Nick, Zach loved me. I was pretty sure because it took him three full days of trying to tell me. He loved me so much that he would have willingly dropped the offer for Harvard University, just to be with me. However, I could not let him throw his dream away for me. His dream was his first love, I was his second, even thought he would not admit it. So I let him go.
You would think that I should have lost all hope by now right. Wrong. I was ready to open my heart, and let anyone in…oh yea, I was that stupid. My stupidity almost got me raped if I was not for Kevin. I had attended a, fraternity party and was foolish enough, to drink the alcohol so brashly offered to me. Soon enough I found my self in a bedroom, trying to fight off a horny bastard while my head spun around in circles. It was an unfair loosing battle, and I was horrified at the thought of what the idiot would do to me. Suddenly I felt someone ripping the bastard off me, strong arms held me securely, I was curious to know who my saviour was but my head was swimming in drugs and consciousness betrayed me and left.
I woke up, the next morning in his dorm room. I had never spoken to him before in campus. Kevin was the type of person that usually kept to himself. Tall, handsome and serious, a smile on his chiselled cheekbones was a rare catch. Yet somehow, he fell in love with me. We dated for two years, I even moved in with him. Life with Kevin was comfortable, he loved- no he was in love with me, but strangely enough, I was not in love with him. The time came when Kevin ask me to marry him…
I refused.
I had never seen Kevin show so much emotion. He cried, held me and he begged me to give him a chance, to explain to how I could not love him, when he could love no other but me. I suppose it was a selfish decision on my part but Kevin deserved someone better! Someone who would love him back wholeheartedly as he would love her, and that person was not me.
I felt to utterly pathetic, but I knew that if I had accepted his offer that I would have been miserable, longing for something that I do not even know. So I walked out of his life…
I graduated University, left home to start a life of my own. I slowly climbed my way up the corporate ladder and by my 25th year, I was a Jr. Executive of the Hino Corps. Work was a wonderful distraction from my romantic failures, but I would soon find out that it was even better at providing heartaches. It was here, where I met up with my past, Endymion was to be my corporate partner.
And the man, that would change my views of love, Jack
