Man from Above

So now the other day I came to the office whistling a light tune and at peace with the universe. Then the most unexpected thing happened.I got to the door fumbling with my bags and trying to fish out my access card from those creases it hides in every day when lo & behold I had a vision. The single most beautiful man I had ever seen. He looked like he'd been carefully & meticulously chiseled out of tall dark smooth stone by the gods of good looks who took their time with the task. He just stood there all nonchalant deep in conversation with someone my mind didn't register ... I was in a daze. Then he turns his gaze to me. And I quickly curse the fact that I didn't have the foresight to come to work in a dinner dress. Eyes lock. I'm enchanted. Just can't look away. Or do anything else for that mantter. A gentle smile. I could have fallen to the ground. Then idiot work mates come in behind me and break the moment (which in all fairness couldn't have lasted for more than a couple of seconds). I'm forced to gather my wits from all across the floor and go to my desk.

And as fate would have it, he was attending a meeting in a room not too far from where I sit. He had the voice of Angels singing to inform the shepherds of the birth in Bethlehem. But as fate would have it, I had a full day meeting booked off-site. Which was probably a good thing for my employer as I would never have gotten any work done otherwise.

I never saw him again and have no idea who he was.

That was the best work-morning I've ever had ...

  1. Mmmm, got me daydreaming in the office.....wish you had taken a pic, but then again, remembering your last incident trying to take a pic.....it was probably wise you didn't try it again

  2. I worry for you some days, Ms Madam. :-)

    That said, I was swooning at the thought of the man...

    1. Worry is fully warranted. And the thing is its too late to find out anything about him ... *sigh*

    2. Hang on, not so fast, he came in to your office for a meeting no? That means someone knows him, which means he can be tracked down. A little mild stalking never hurt anyone... :-)

    3. That was considered.

      I just have no clue who he'd come to see (I was distracted) and now have no description of him I'd be willing to share with my counterparts followed by the question 'Have you seen him ...'

  3. Hahaha! Alex, I like the way you think. So Spinster, how about you dig around for any info on him? :-)

  4. He he he, and why did you allow him to go...maybe it was not meant to be, but who knows, you could meet him again in the future....

    1. I get the impression that the meeting either flunked or was very successful as I've never seen him come back to the office. But as you said, who knows ...

  5. Heheehe! I think that was some crazy piece. Maybe you should go back to dreamland and continue the chase. You could get him!

    1. Thanks AH for passing by. Crazy is good, right? :-)

      He's been successfully caught in my dreams .. just not in real life ..

  6. And seeing this much much later, - probably you've moved on and had a glimpse of a better creation, - I can confirm there is nothing like 'meant to be', you make the be yourself. (There is no evidence of that given am still roaming the streets myself, single as they come, so none of you oh dear fans of our lady spinster should take it as gospel truth)
