Secret Admirer
Pulling a sheet from the drawer, she placed it neatly on the desktop.
Taking a deep breath, she held the pen in her hand, trying to think of what to write.
The pen flowed effortlessly over the white paper, forming eloquent
words not to be taken lightly. Soon, this letter would find the writer's
true love, in the hopes that he would possibly return the feelings.
Her eyes looked it over, each delicate word showing a little bit of her self.
Once she was satisfied, she signed it simply with X's and O's. Smiling faintly,
she folded it and placed it in an envelope, signing the name Andros across the front.
Her heart fluttering in her chest, she knew it was something she had to do.
She had to tell him, she had to let him know that after all this time,
and she had fallen in love with him.
Slipping it into a book, she sighed softly, knowing that she had to
get ready for the party. Getting to her feet, she began making herself ready
all the while her mind was on him and the letter.
**********
"Are you ready?" he asked, waiting for her reply. It amazed him
that as time passed; he and Ashley had become good friends. She had seen
him through good times and bad, and he knew she would always be there.
"Just a sec," she replied, fastening a small purse shut. Getting to
her feet, she smiled at him as he took her hand. A moment later, she was
in the middle of a party.
"Go mingle, Ashley. There are many eligible young men here
this evening," he whispered in her ear, while eying another guest.
"I'll see you later."
"Okay," she replied, as she watched him go. She couldn't help but
wonder who had his attention this time. No sooner did she wonder,
than she saw him sidle up to a voluptuous blonde. "Figures," she grinned,
then turned around to find anyone that she might know.
"Ashley!" the voice cut through the confusion. "It's about time you
got here," Cassie said, smiling at her friend.
"Hey Cassie, how's the party?" Ashley asked.
"Great, and Andros even let me bring Carlos," she replied
happily. As if on cue, muscled arms encircled her waist and a chin
rested lightly on her shoulder.
"Hi Carlos," Ashley said.
"Hey there Ashley, great party."
"Maybe you should tell Andros that," she smiled.
"Yo! Andros, cool party!" he yelled across the assembly,
making Ashley cringe in
embarrassment. Andros simply nodded and went back to his conversation.
"So, Ashley, what's up?" he asked politely.
"Not much Carlos, and you?" she replied.
"Well now, isn't this a pleasure?" Andros said, looking
over the trio.
His gaze landed on Cassie. "How are you this evening Cassie?" he asked,
smiling softly at her. Her beauty caught his eye the first time he they had met.
"Fine, thanks for letting us come." she replied.
"Nonsense. Enjoy the party," he retorted, taking her hand
as grazing it with his lips.
"Okay, enough of that." Carlos stated, pulling her hand
away possessively.
Andros smiled and walked away. The rest of the evening
was filled with song;
dance and laughter as the guests enjoyed their surroundings. Andros
watched Cassie most of the evening. How odd that such a beauty could
escape his notice for so long. As the party began to dissipate, Andros
said his good-byes then found solace in the silence.
Andros went to his quarters on the mega ship, wanting to
rest for just a bit before having to deal with anything else. Feeling something
beneath him, he reached underneath himself
and pulled out an envelope. Looking at it with interest, he noticed his
name written on the front. Pulling out the paper inside, he stared at the
writing as he read the words.
---I don't know how to tell you what I want to tell you, so I'm
writing it down. I'll never find the nerve to give you this letter anyway.
When I look at you, I can't take my eyes off of you. I long to have your
arms around me and feel your body against mine. I'm such a jerk. I know you
don't fell like I do, which is why I don't have the courage to sign this.
But I just love you more than words can say.
XXXOOOXXX------
Andros lowered the letter; his mind wandered trying to
decipher the letter.
Who could have left it for him? There were so many guests,
how would he know which one? He knew who he wanted it to be, Cassie.
"Andros?" Alpha 6 said, attracting his attention.
"What?" he asked, his mind still on the letter in his hand.
He looked at Alpha. "What do you think? Do you think she sent me
the letter?" he stated, not really caring one
way or another.
"Letter?" Alpha asked, confused already.
"Yes. A, shall we say, love letter," he stated, his
expression serious.
"Well why not Andros? Any woman would surely fall
for you," the robot replied.
"Quite right," he replied, getting to his feet. "There is a party tomorrow,
I know she'll be there," he plotted; already having his mind set that it was her.
"I hope he knows what he's doing'," Alpha 6 muttered softly.
