Fated to Be

Today the pretty miss came to work without realising I was already present in the shop and I watched her from a discreet distance while my mind danced with various scenarios of torment. I considered making myself known but then the delicious thought of having her unexpectedly discover me was far more appealing so I retired to the back room to await her detection. As patient as I am it was obvious after half an hour that something was distracting the little one from her duties and I returned to observe her.

She was on her phone to one of her vapid friends and overhearing her comments I was surprised to discover her attempting to have an intelligent conversation. She wandered about the shop dusting while trying to decipher her friends babble only to wind up having to explain to the bucket of stupid at the other end why their plans were not possible. Her voice, alternating between friendly elucidation and humour captivated me, who was she this silly minx who should have sunk into the mire of girly inanity I had assigned her. She managed to maintain her sanity while dealing with one of nature’s unfortunates, the brainless child of doting old money. I admired how she refrained from screaming and decided that perhaps it was time for me to end this farce of a conversation.

It was at that very moment she looked towards my direction and again I was privy to the glowing, thoughtful face from the café. She is the very girl that I had been seeking, dreaming, desiring, finally there was someone on this mortal coil worthy of my attentions. This expectation is now all the sweeter since the fates have thrust her into my realm and I know my course, first I would torment then I would consume, she will be mine.
