The young women got off the bus and began to walk the short distance to her house. In many ways she was like so many others who were making their way home during the early evening after working a nine to five job. But at the age of twenty two Emily Ward wasnât about to start complaining too loudly. Jobs for many were hard to come by so she knew on the whole she was lucky to have one and even the mundane day to day routine was far better than the alternative which so many others faced each morning when they awoke to face the day. After leaving school at sixteen she had gone to collage and taken various courses to enable her to at first get a job in a typing pool, which once she had got a foot in the door, enabled her to work her way up and to move on to where she worked now. She was one of four secretaries to a group of six solicitors based in the centre of town, which helped pay her the bills and the rent on her small one bed room flat.
As for her private life she had dated various guys from the age of fourteen but none had lasted the distance. Her longest relationship had lasted just under a year and her shortest had been two weeks. Regardless of length of the dating none of them had felt right, even when the guy had been what she thought she wanted in looks and personality something was always missing. She had tried to think back to when that feeling had started to creep into the back of her mind but she couldnât place a time to it. Now she wondered if it had always been there and a little concerned that as time went by the harder it would be find someone, her soul mate who would take away the feeling of being incomplete.
She had no idea at that moment in what form her soul mate would turn out to be, which was most likely a very good thing else she may have questioned her own sanity. One because of what he was and two the fact she wasnât expecting to ever find him in any shape or form.
Emily turned the corner into the street where her flat was situated keen now to get home, kick off her shoes and put the kettle on while she changed out of her neat skirt and blouse into something more comfortable.
