Driving at full speed on an empty road. Gabin could only think about getting back on time. A state audit surprised him in the middle of the afternoon. The inspectors were ready to review the factory’s operations.
The inspectors were being entertained by some company employees, while Gabin pressed the accelerator of his car as soon as the light turned green. It had been five weeks since he finally, after so much effort, managed to qualify for the environmental standards. Unfortunately, the certificates were still inside a folder in a room of his family’s house.
This was the perfect opportunity to make use of something that he worked to get. But the certificates were still too far from him.
Traveling at full speed, he could imagine the inspectors walking around the facility and looking for a mistake.
Looking at the doors of his house garage gave him a much needed reassurance… he hurried out of the vehicle and ran home. He noticed that the place was unusually empty, but gave it little attention. Gabin rushed upstairs and entered a small living room on the second floor.
This was the first time that beauty dazzled Gabin. He immediately caught a glimpse of the beautiful figure of a stranger on top of the small table in the center of the room. His senses completely focused on her…Gabin didn’t notice but, for an instant, he could sense the fragrance of the stranger from the group of people present.
“What’s going on?” he asked with a smile, turning to get a better angle of her.
Gabin uselessly pretended that the girl wasn’t the only one present in the room. His eyes looked her up from head to toe, just for a moment before looking away from her.
“Do you think she looks cute?” said someone around him. Of course, at that moment, Gabin couldn’t recognize the person who was talking to him.
“We are preparing the dress for tonight,” said someone else.
Gabin looked at her again. She was dazzling, a beauty difficult to behold for long. Without realizing it, he began to breathe through his mouth and turned towards the group.
“What are you getting her ready for?” Gabin asked.
“You’re invited too,” the words came out like the sweetest melody Gabin has ever heard. The phrase was the closing line of a spell. He felt his body lightening, and his view narrowed.
Gabin looked up. The girl’s sweet red lips glowed. He slowly looked upward until he met the depth of her blue eyes.
The words stuck inside of Gabin’s throat; leaving him speechless. “You look… great,” he finally said, controlling his heart’s voice.
It needed to express all the beauty that he was admiring. However, Gabin lowered his gaze and tried to remember the reason for him getting home early.
“I wish you luck,” Gabin said, looking into her eyes again. Imagining the feeling of the soft skin on her face. “I’ll see you there.”
With that, Gabin left the room and tried to go back to what he was doing. Although, for some reason, it was very difficult to remember. The only thing he could focus his attention on was the beauty of the girl, and his plans began to revolve around seeing her again.
“The phrase was the closing line of a spell” Love it <3
Real world witchcraft in the making.
Beautifully articulated. Thank you.
Playing with romance.
“You look… great,” he finally said, controlling his heart’s voice. Well done. Nice turn of phrase.
I’m glad he didn’t freeze.
Beautiful pic. Makes me wonder we ever prepared for a surprise?

The best way to be prepared is to leave the fear behind.
I love the way you build up suspense.It’s provocative. Well done!
I still wonder if he got the papers before he left the house.
Yes…This!
Hmmm… to Gavin, the ‘words came out like the sweetest melody.’ So why do I get the feeling that the tone was not? I got an inclination that he’s in for a rude awakening. For this girl, if she is, is more than meets the eye…
🇯🇲🏖️
Aren’t they all if you don’t know how to control yourself?
My beloved is to me the most fragrant apple tree – he stands above the sons of men
Hmm! The girl that got Gabin speechless, who is she Seb?
She is the wizard’s assistant from a dream.
Little wonder Gabin was speeches at her sight, yet couldn’t do anything.🤐. Nice one .
👍
I remember, when one is under pressure, the mind can play mysterious games!
Youth is a dangerous ingredient in an explosive love formula.
Can’t wait to read more👏👏
I hope you are ready to let your imagination run wild.
I am glad that you are on your way to achieve your goal. Good luck and keep it up 👍🏼

I’ve discovered that writing is a journey and I’m here for the long haul.
That kind of suspense is a killer. Very well written.
Life’s simple pleasures.
Very true and life experiences make us never to take things for granted….. l guess.
Life’s surprises never cease to amaze.
Dropped by to say thank you 🙂 You’ll know for what 🙂
The least we can do to support our colleagues.
My gosh you are prolific, and you work in such a huge range of genres. And, of course, love the art! 🙂
I’m just doing the best I can.
Sugar Rush was sweet
Keep up the good work!
Loved it and want to read more
I’m sure we will have more romance in the future.
I like your basic intent, but the commercials or ads kept breaking up the story flow. Was the girl real or a portrait? It would be interesting if she were, but its not my story. I hope you continue so I can figure some things out without the interruptions. Very good.
I’ve sorted the issue with the appropriate parties. Let me know if it happens again.
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Just like Gabin’s mind.
The first thing that came to my mind was the sirens on the sea and the poor sailors drown into her dangerous web. I think it was the her voice that cemented that idea in my mind. I am intensely interested to see what disaster she wreaks!
Youth and power are a dangerous combination.
Wow amazing ! Iam waiting more!
More romantic stories are coming soon.
Beautiful story. I cannot wait for the rest. Feel free to look at my stories too. https://bit.ly/35yNKPg

Thanks, Sebastian for liking my post “MY MORNING ROUTiNE
I’m just trying to make a change.
I like the pics you put before your post
Illustration that I learned to love.
A great hook…..to be continued????
Everything continues in one way or another.
Who are you?
The author of this blog.
Love how this line show’s his disorientation: “Do you think she looks cute?” said someone around him. Of course, at that moment, Gabin couldn’t recognize the person who was talking to him.” Good work here. Love flash fiction, My take is that these are faery folk? He’s in danger of being transported or abducted as they are wont to do?
We can only wait and hope for the best.
Thanks very much for your great work in fictions and publications.
Like your encouragement and support.
Bravo!
Just doing what I love.
More than conqueror!!
Nice one.
It occurred to me without warning.
Thanks, Sebastian for liking The last lesson
I hope there will be more lessons.
Of course
Sometimes it is the unknown that stretches a person’s perception and his or her eyes see differently. Love has a lot to do with the mental perception of what is perceived. I pondered over where it will go or will it end with an unchanged perception.
An engaging excerpt.

As long as it helps growth, it will be positive.
Beautiful 👍
Doing the best that I can.

I’ll try to think of more romance for the future.
Thanks for your view Sebastian. Appreciate the support. I had not thought to use this medium for book bits. Good idea.
Blog fiction is a growing alternative for readers with limited time.
I enjoyed this short work. I think flash fiction and shorter than short but longer than flash fiction will become a trend in the near future. People want stories on their phones on break and such.
The fast pace of our life depends on reliable fiction bloggers.
Hi
👋
Thank you Sabastian for viewing and liking my post may the Lord richly bless you.I would like you to lecture me more about WordPress sins am a teenager
I found all the answers on Google.
Nice distraction to have when facing such a stressful time, Could she have been the inspector though?
Feel free to come back when you need to. It could have been the inspector! That is an interesting idea.
Thanks, Sebastian for reading my post
That’s the least we can do to support bloggers.
Very true
Seb the celebrity
I just hope my stories help us get through these tough times.
This is a great piece, love the read – just beautiful.
It was really cool to imagine it in my head while writing.
Where city
Shangri-La
Beautiful sky
Only the best for my readers.
Love never fails, eh? Gotto disappoint you. When it is real love, appearance becomes a non-issue.
That’s a topic I’ll have to steal for another story.
Oh to face such a distraction during an audit! This can’t end well!
Attraction tends to get in the way of everything.
True facts
The life of a growing man.
Beautiful story🥺
I’m in awe.
Like Gabin when the storm calms down and he remembers that life is waiting for him.
I thought this happens to me alone… But it seemed you are telling a true story 🙂
We have in common everything that seems unique to us.
I think this is awesome!
😌
Love the twist and suspense.
I really enjoy writing about sexual attraction.
Yes life always surprised us, still we plan for future we don’t know ,we can stay or not , But if you do what you want without planning, it will bring more happiness(according to me)
Planning is hoping the world behaves as you expect.
this was a very nice read – i really like your writing style!
I’m glad it’s working for you and I hope you enjoy my next stories.

I can’t get enough of your short stories. I started reading them earlier and I literally feel like I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole, in the best way possible of course. Can’t wait to continue reading and keep up the fantastic work!
