CHAPTER 1 – THE INTRODUCTIONS

My closest friend Emily was saying "You know there is someone i can set you up with and maybe you can stick longer with this one, yeah like that was going to happen. Hey this is Regina and I work for the S.O.R.T it's a secret intelligence agency... Long story short I'm a spy and I get busy with missions from time to time. Now at this point I wasn't worried about anything work related I was in the middle of something entirely different

Emily is someone I've known since my childhood and there were no secrets between us and she also works for the US government. Alright that gets on with the introductions. So what were we both up to now. Dress shopping

We were both trying on dresses for a wedding this weekend it's a close friends from college and I had to attend it or else Em would kill me. I'd been avoiding weddings of people I know or weddings in general... not a fan but well it feels like a constant reminder of people showing off their significant others not that I had never been in a relation it just that I didn't have the time to put all my energy into one, short flings were more kind of my thing wouldn't get me emotionally invested in someone and frankly I didn't have the time to pursue it (Yeah keep saying that)

As time passed I realised that maybe just maybe I too can meet someone special, wishful thinking I know.. so um getting back to the actual story. Emily was pondering about whom to set me up with while I was trying on dresses.

"Oh so you do have someone in your mind right otherwise you wouldn't just say it out of the blue"

"Hmm yeah i do and please do meet him he is genuinely a nice guy and trust me you two might actually hit it off and who knows by the next winter we could be getting dressed for your wedding for which i would of course be the maid of honor" said Emily with a far off excited look about her.

"Woah hold on there, that is a big if Em, I will meet him but i can't promise you anything"

"Anything yet... sweetheart."

See Emily here is someone who you call a hopeless romantic, me not so much... in fact she recently got into a relationship and it was in the initial stages and she was rubbing off the romance on others, suddenly everything with the world was great, winter was about having hot chocolate and cozying up by the fire with the new love of her life (bleah!) who by the way was someone i worked with. Sounds cliche but hey that's what she felt and the upcoming wedding got her all giddy with excitement and for once i just didn't feel like being the spoilsport and i played along.

We got what we wanted and left the store.

I was supposed to meet the "guy" that Em talked about for a dinner date and as my luck would have i was stuck with work and cancelled .Just when i would like to have some time to my personal life things seem to got the wrong day and this time it was the "guy" who couldn't make it.

This supposedly genuine nice guy turns out works for the same agency that Em works and he is just as busy as me. For the first time I felt a little bit of excitement why you ask that's because he is from my line of work and I got something to talk as icebreaker when we meet... nah It just wasn't that... it was Em constantly telling me snippets of him, so whatever i got to know was good stuff and the plus was he was an accomplished agent and Em did tell me about some of his conquests and it got me interested and hey if we didn't connect romantically the least that can happen is that we become good friends and I did have some questions to ask him about one of his missions where he saved the president's daughter...
