She who dreamt

She had many dreams, but she wasn't the type of girl who seats and waits for them to magically happen, she really worked for making them real. For many years she had been sick, but all of the doctors could say was it was all stress related. And after dealing with certain situations in her life she started to take it one day at a time. So she began making lists: of things she wanted to achieve, of things she wanted to have, personal things to work on. It didn't happen all of the sudden, and many times she had even forgotten what she had written on her lists, but reading back at them every once in a while she realized they were coming true.

Over a year ago she had a brilliant idea to star an art and fashion online magazine. She was responsible of the editing, and her primary idea was to give young up and coming artists a chance to show their work and be disclosed. But this time it was her work that was being recognized, as she had just recieved the confirmation that her magazine was gonna be printed and distributed nationally. But this wasn't the only reason for celebration, it was also her 26th birthday, so her coworkers had arrange a reservation at a little restaurant that was very popular at the time. They were getting ready to leave the office when she saw him walking down the hallway, pretending not to notice when another girl from te office asked him if he was coming. Suddenly someone approached her to congratulate her and she couldn't get his answer.

Finding a partner was one of the things on her list that was becoming really difficult to achieve. Mainly because it wasn't only her desicion, someone else needed to want her as a partner also, and that was tricky. Guys invited her out a lot, and she would give them a chance from time to time. And as amazing as the first dates would go, there was always something off: some just suddenly stop calling/contacting her, some other just called so much she got tired of them, and so on.

Capítulo : The dinnerTítulo: She who dreamt

The dinner

They were all there ready to order dinner, everyone but him. Maybe that's what intrigued her, he didn't act like the rest of them. The dinner was delicious, and many bottles of wine later they decided to go to a pub near by. The music was loud, but they managed to sustain a conversation. She was very happy, specially because her coworkers had become friends and some even like family. Moments later she stared to feel really dizzy and decided to go to the bartender and ask for a glass of water, when she heard a voice call her name "Victoria", "H...hi" she managed to answer. For the smile on his face it was obvious he found the situation to be very amusing.  She drank the water as he was saying happy birthday and congratulating her for the good job with the magazine, and when she turned to him to say thanks he kissed her on the cheek. 

As they were walking to find the others she realized she was grabbing his arm not to fall. And before they got to them he asked her if she wanted him to take her home.

-I won't take advantage, I promise - he said smiling

-Ok, but first I have to say goodbye

It was -3º outside, but the fresh air on her face made her feel a little bit better. He stared at her and started laughing.

-What's so funny?- she asked

-I'm sorry- he said- It's not every day that you get to see your boss drunk

-I'm not drunk... and I'm not your boss

-Yes you are

-Which one?

He started laughing again- If you're not drunk then why were you grabbing my arm before?

She started blushing- Ok, I'm a little drunk, but I'm not your boss

And they were both right. Vincent had come to live there over five years ago. He finished studying journalism and got a master degree on photojournalism. He was looking for a job and a friend of his showed him a post on Victoria's magazine where they were looking for someone to work with them. He showed up at the office to deliver his CV. Victoria herself had interviewed him and gave him the job right away. But that part of the business wasn't her jurisdiction anymore.
