The Billionaire's Architect

Imagination. I loved imagining things. I can say it is one of my hobbies as I love to imagine a lot of things. Maybe, it’s because I love reading books. They say that a person who loves to read has a wide imagination.

Since I was a kid, fairy tales have been my favorite book. I remembered crying at the bookstore when my mother didn’t want me to buy a book.

Thinking about princesses, and the way they lived, made me realize how it’s amazing to be in their world, too. I mean, there is always a happy ending. Who doesn't want a happy ending, right?

Due to my passion for reading, I discovered an online writing website where you can read, share, and post stories, and meet amazing readers and authors, too. In that world, I learned to put my imagination through writing. I remember that I was still in high school at that time, so what I was writing was kind of childish and I don’t really know. I just write whatever I want to write.

It was an amazing website where I met a lot of online friends that eventually became my friends up until now. I never even thought that I would meet friends that I will cherish forever. What a strange world, right? Even if miles set us apart, we still find friends around the world.

And, I never thought I could fall in love with someone I don't know personally. To someone I have never even known or talked to. But nothing is impossible in love, right? They say, love can conquer everything and it can make impossible things possible.

I started to take an interest in him - a writer in the said website that is called Wattpad - when I read his story. I was surprised when I found out that he was a man, so I tried to find out things about him.

I liked him even more when I saw a picture of him. At first, it was a crush until I didn't know anymore. I started stalking him...started finding things about him. Honestly, I don’t know what this feeling is like. Am I just in love with the idea of him or do I really like him?

I planned to talk to him on Wattpad because I saw that he was kind and not a snob but unfortunately he never came back to writing again. He left and then a lot of us, readers and fans of his, are actually waiting for him up until now.

I actually forgot about him as well. But two years later, I found in my files the picture of him that I had taken before from his profile picture.

I thought of visiting his profile but he still didn’t come back. I don’t know, I became even more interested. I missed his jokes that are mostly green jokes, but he used to say that he’s wholesome. Well, he’s really funny and witty.

I find happiness whenever I read his works. I felt his character and he is really good at making people happy and smile with his jokes and works. I can't explain but little by little I felt my curiosity deepen. I just saw myself spending time, stalking his profile, reading his works when I don’t have anything to do.

I also messaged him almost every day as I waited for his return. I felt so obsessed. I even looked for his FB account and twitter account. I saw his twitter but it was private. He is very mysterious, indeed.

I just laughed at myself when I did that. I know there is no hope of seeing him, but I still do hope that maybe a fangirl can meet her idol, right? It’s not that impossible.

My friends always scolded me because of what I am doing. They find me crazy for someone who doesn’t even know that I existed.

He didn't know me and maybe he was married because he was a few years older than me.

Well, I just didn't pay attention to that, I was just really inspired. I'm happy when I see his picture on my cell phone. And, my day was already complete just by thinking of him.

But,I didn't really know that that simple inspiration would last for a few more years until I didn't really know how I felt for him.

I don't even know if I love him anymore or I'm just really curious about his personality. I’m already confused with myself, I don’t know anymore.

Is it really possible for me to feel this way? Is it possible that I love a person I just saw in a picture?

Sometimes, I want to think I'm crazy. But, I know that I'm still in the right frame of mind, only my heart really isn't.

I am just stupid for waiting at someone who doesn’t even know me. Why didn't he just go back to Wattpad? Why can't I find him? He's good at hiding.

"You're staring at Gray again." I hid my phone when my friend Lyuna came. She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

She actually became my friend because of Wattpad and until now we are still friends. She is the only person who supports my madness and craziness when it comes to Gray - the Wattpad Guy I am in love with.

“Well, just killing time,” I replied to her. She sat beside me, opened her laptop, and started working, too.

I continued what I was doing, stalking, checking his profile account, before I started finishing my paperworks. Lyuna kept on hissing beside me as she watched me become crazy in love with someone who doesn’t even know that we existed.

Time had passed. It’s been years since I came across his profile. I already stopped writing. I finished my degree, got a job, but am about to grow old as a virgin because I don’t have a boyfriend. I don’t entertain guys because I am waiting for someone. Like I said, I am crazy, right?

Well, I already know that and I still planned to wait for more years. After all, I still don’t have someone that I liked. I mean, they don’t really pass my standards. I’ve met a lot of guys and dated actually, but it’s just I don’t see the connection. My friends usually got tired of setting me up with blind dates because nothing happened. It’s not like I am in a hurry, I am only 23.

“I think it is time to let go,” Lyuna looked at me, frustrated. “He doesn’t even know you.”

“Whatever happens, happens,” I replied as I sipped on my coffee.

“You know, I always support you, but Gray...whoever he is...is not coming back. Stop looking.”

“I am not looking for him, just waiting,” I grinned. “Don’t worry about me, okay?”

"It's okay to wait for him even if he doesn't know you but just think that your world doesn't revolve around him. A lot of men like you, pay attention to them,” she urged.

I sighed heavily and suddenly fell into silence. She really has a point there but...I don't know.

"But of course, I am still a Gray-Yanne shipper, okay?" She smiled.

"Yes. I'm a Dio-Lyuna shipper," I said.

Well, how nice would it be, right? Lyuna is already happy with her ultimate crush which is Dio, now her boyfriend. While, I'm still stuck and I don't know when I'll find a happy ending. I don't even know if I'll find what I'm looking for.

"Good. Anyways, take note of what I said, give others a chance.”

"Thanks,” I hugged her. She’s one of the few people I really can count on.

I will definitely follow what she and my friends say, but not yet. Soon, not losing hope as of the moment. Just waiting, I loved waiting.

“Anyway, I will just go buy something at the bookstore. Are you gonna stay here?” I asked as I fixed my things. “I will leave my laptop.”

“Sure,” she replied, busy typing. “I need to finish this.”

“Okay,” I nodded and left Starbucks. I went directly to the bookstore to buy books. I don’t have anything particular in my mind and I just want to treat myself to a book because I think I deserve it after working so hard.

I was already at the shelves, scanning through books, and reading the synopsis, when I heard a click of a camera and was a bit startled with a flash. I automatically turned to my right where a guy was caught in the act, stealing my picture.

"Oh! Sht!" He brushed his hair and bowed a little. His cheeks were reddened as he smiled at me. “Caught in the act.”

I raised an eyebrow as I met his gaze. Wait...where did I see this guy?

I stared at him and I just couldn't believe it. What are the odds?

I mean, is this what they call destiny?
