Blanket and roses. P.S: With some love ...

I do really know why my boss called me here. A so called 'performance analysis' meeting which is an invitation for lay-offs. My heart is in my mouth, so is Archie's , Kelvin's , Jon's and others in their respective mouths. We all feel that Archie, with only her name in common with the greeting card company is the next one to go. But she's been cosying with the boss Daniel to get me out of here. I regret calling Daniel 'motor mouth' because he may be signing my dismissal in a few hours. I am forced to think about Michelle. She came out to live with me and i am going to be sacked, stop paying bills and stay at home and watch her cry. B.S man, this sucks and in he comes 'motor mouth' aka Daniel, my boss. Whatever happens i love you Michelle, still my girl friend and will be my wife if all goes well and Archie the bitch goes out of Archie the greeting card retail.

                                                    Oh boy, here  it goes, " Hello my colleagues, we all know the rise of the pop up and fancy cards in the market, with the decline of the meaningful cards we are forced to change our strategy and increase the fancy cards production, so it is inevitable" motor mouth said and clasped his hands, I could bet  he looked at me menacingly. This is it Michelle baby, i am going home. My thoughts were interrupted with the second part of his speech. "Before going for lay-offs, it is my duty to retain the best talent among you, so two people will be selected from your group for permanency" i saw a chance, one is definitely Archie, the competition is for the other spot. "To do that i ask you all to write for a romantic greeting card, 'the lover boy tries to woo his girl' is the theme of the card and you will start after your break, so see you" he said and left straight away. Archie followed straight to his cabin and her job is secure. I feel devastated. I saw my colleagues cursing Archie.
                                       
                                          "Hello Michelle, it is me here" i used my break effectively. "Yes honey, wassup?" she said. "Honey umm most probably i am coming home soon"
" Oh that is sweet, i will make marshmallows, we'll watch a movie, waiting to cuddle with you , can you come soon, pleeaaasseee" she said at 2000 words per minute and blew a few kisses.
"Michelle baby, i guess i am getting sacked" that came at 50 words per minute from me.
"Whoaa, motor mouth did that?" she asked, she knew my office people and their nicknames.
"Yes dear and he gives me theme to write at last before sacking which is 'the lover boy tries to woo his girl' "
"that is cool, you do that often Jim baby" she said
"Dont kid baby, it is over i guess, my dream of writing for the best cards, it is over"
"baby dont give up, you woo me like how easily you blow a candle" she assured "you can write about this".
I couldn't help but laugh " Like what was the thing i bought for our home lately, a single blanket and few roses for you, is that romantic?" i was skeptical.
" Yeaahhhhh you are the most romantic boyfriend ever, just imagining us cuddle at night in a single blanket gives me goosebumps in the day" i could imagine her leaning on the wall and miss me, she is like that, ever loving and always optimistic.
" You want me to write about blanket and roses, that is the best i can think baby"
"Then do that and dont forget baby, this is for us"
"I will do my best honey"
"I meant the blanket , it is for me, don't think about motor mouth and Archie when you write, focus baby"
 I laughed and the phone was cut, no sensors here, just timers. Prepaid calls run out sooner than a wink.

                                                  I thought a poem, people finished their lunches and trickled  in. Time was getting over.

I scribbled something that came to my mind, for you Michelle, hopefully Mrs. Michelle Jim Sandlers soon.

 "My sweetheart, I wish I were the velvet sky 'cause my eyes are never enough to marvel at your beauty , I want those million stars above , the thick clouds as blanket and the lonely sea to bathe with only YOU   

My dearest baby, God makes flowers blossom when I sleep because when I am awake he knows that I will not let him steal your fragrance, that brightest rose is red because she blushed once when you walked past her". i finished mine.

 I felt a touch on my shoulder. Oops motor mouth! he took my slip.

"Friends i guess i have decided the two people for recommendations" He sensed an anticipation, once he built up enough "The first person is Archie" , we all know that  i thought "and the next person has so far been the first name for lay off but this piece I cant let it go anywhere, I see this as a best seller " he said breaking the chain of abusive thoughts that i had directed at him. Actually he was waving my slip which meant "This was the best Jim, it is you, Congratulations". He held my hand and congratulated me.

"Thank you Michelle" i said , oops " Daniel sir" i corrected 

P.S Description about Jim's and Michelle's appearances were avoided because of a small belief that true love never looks at the face but at the heart.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME, FRIEND.
