It was a long day at the office today. Camille was Exhausted but not physically, mentally. Camille work at matching service for millionaires. Camille spent her days and nights finding love for the people Around her but she always forgot about her self. Camille has been single all her life. She’s been looking for something special . Really special. That love that she can’t live without. I guess you can say she’s a hopeless romantic, she has it honestly. She watched her grandparents stay together until her grandmother died. She wanted something like that . She wanted love where the only thing that can end it , was death. About 4 years ago , Camille thought she had found love. But he had other plans. While she was busy falling in love he was too. But not with her , with someone else. Camille haven’t loved anyone since. But she loves love. So She decided to help other people find the love of there life.
On her way out the office that night , Camille heard some strange noises. She walked closer to the door right on the side of the receptionist desk. She put her ear closer to the door but she didn’t hear anything . As soon as she started to walk away from the door she heard something fall and she quickly opened the door. Camille stood there shocked as she watched her two close friends making out. Camille Tony and Cloe use to hang out all the time. They did everything together. They went to lunch , they had dinner and even weekly movie nights. Even though Camille was single, she never really had to feel it because she always had her friends. Now that they are together, she really feels alone. As Camille looked at tony and cloe in misbelief ,Cloe reached out her hand to Camille. Camille quickly , pulled away and walked out the door. Camille was happy for her friends but at the same time she was a little bit jealous. She knew that things would change now. As happy as she was for her friends she couldn’t help but to feel alone. More alone than ever.
Camille walked to the park across the street from her job. Her , Tony , and Cloe loved that park . It had so many pretty trees and bushes. Camille loved walking through the park at night. She looked watching the lights by the big stone wall fountain. The sound of the water always made her feel better when she was done. Camille walked over to the fountain as she ate her favorite roasted almonds. “What a day” , Camille said to her self. As Camille put her favorite brown bag on the side of her , she couldn’t help but notice a little black book on the side of her. The book looked old but at the same time new. The pages stuck out of the book but yet still put together. One the front of the book was a big heart engraved. Camille looked around before she picked the book up . She was trying to see if anyone was around who could have left the book. Camille scanned around a few more times before picking up the book. When she picked the book up something fell out . It was a check. A check for $20,000 . Camille looked around again. She couldn’t believe what she found. When she opened the book , the first page read in big letters . “ Stop” the next page said the same thing. She looked around again before she turned the page. The next page said the same thing. This time in big red letters. Camille was curious so she turned the page again. When she turned the page this time , it read “ Now that I have your attention. You have to pay attention. I warned you . Not once but twice . Not twice but also a third time. But something in you made you continue. You have gotten this far , so I know you want more. You desire more than what your everyday life gives you . It’s love . Love is what you want . Love is what you will get”.
P.S. with that $20000 comes love , and without it .... if you got this far ...there is no way out of it.
Camille sat there for a little while . Shocked , she was also excited because she just found 2000 dollars. She was a little creeped out about the whole concept of the letter but she didn’t let it phase her. Camille closed the book , put the check and the book in her bag and went home. As Camille walked away she looked back again , and then around , “ this has definitely been a day” Camille said with relief. Camille went home that night , all she could think about was the book . She didn’t know what to do . She didn’t know what to say .she didn’t know what to think. Her grandmother always told her stories about voodoo and imprecation. But she never thought she would ever find her self entangled in one. Camille didn’t know how to feel. All she knew was that if she had to find love , she would be ready. After all , she was tired of being alone.
