Running from Mr Adonis

This is a short fiction ‘Sweet Romance’ Story – Word count 6,285

Christina is totally in awe of Gregory Brown aka Mr Adonis. Every time she is near him, she is reduced to a giddy teenager, which makes things slightly awkward for her as his personal shopper! Now even more nerve wracking, she has accepted an invitation to his exclusive party. There, she competes with her friend Becky, who is equally smitten with Gregory, to win his attention.

What follows from the party leaves Christina completely confused. Gregory makes a confession that he has fallen hard for her, after seeing her from the shop window where she works some time ago. But how can his declaration be true, after Becky makes it known to her that Gregory spent the night with her and the next morning! Could Gregory really be a liar and womaniser?

With her preference for an easier, drama free life, can Christina really let her defences down and run away from the intense feelings that appear to exist between both Gregory and her, and instead accept them and fight for a possible future together?
