First day back to work and I am in shock. On my table lies a box, about two feet tall, covered in baby blue wrapper. I look around the office; my teammates are not yet in. I do not remember having any occasion today. There is no note or message outside. Is this actually for me? I open the box and am more surprised at what I see inside.
- Small bouquet of sunflowers
- Box of Royce chocolate
- Tumbler of water with lemon
- Insulated mug
- Packs of vanilla and peppermint teas
- Two lunch boxes:
Breakfast – bacon, mango jam, peanut butter French toast sandwich
Lunch – rice with Bistek Tagalog
Looking at the contents, I have 5 realizations. 1. Whoever gave this is rich. 2. He must be serious about giving me a care box. 3. He knows my favorites. 4. He wants to make me fat. 5. I cannot decide if this is super sweet or super creepy. I mean, duh? He knows almost everything about me, even my office desk! It must have been delivered this morning but I doubt that he will show up even if he is within the vicinity.
I take out everything and keep the box before somebody else sees it. I decided to let it go and get my daily dose of coffee using my new mug. Inside it is a note. As always, there is a note. Why did it slip my mind?
Madison Alexandra Lee,
Please don't freak out.
I'm Sorry.
Gathering my courage to face you is taking too much time.
You'll know me soon.
-Chance
Of course it is from Chance. Who else will it be? Honestly, I am not freaking out. I am annoyed!
I take a picture of my breakfast with a caption, "Bacon, mango jam, peanut butter French toast sandwich with my daily dose of coffee in my new mug. Thank you, you! I really appreciate it. Here's a little advice, Friendzone is just around the corner. You don't want to be there, do you? Hahaha! #breakfast" and post it on all my social sites. That will do the trick.
Throughout the day, people have been liking and commenting on my post. Some are curious as to who I was referring to, others love the food and mug, the rest are interested in my feelings but none of them seem to be Chance.
It is almost time to go home. My phone beeps. Dylan is asking if I am free for dinner. After a few minutes, Ethan gives a call. He is asking the same thing.
Oh, good Lord! What did I get myself into?
