Chelsea: Hidden Love

There was the one guy at Chelsea's work at the local newspaper that she had had her eye on for ages. The only problem was, every single other woman in the office was also after him. Well every available woman anyhow. Little did Chelsea know, despite all his loving, adoring fans, Chelsea was the one who Mitchell wanted more than anyone else.

Chelsea's best friend and work mate Jennifer was the only one who knew of Chelsea's little crush and her longing to be with the man she'd loved for so long. Every time she saw him, Chelsea gazed at him and the long trail of girls running after him, desperately wishing that she was the girl who had her arms linked with Mitchell's. The source of all the other women's jealousy.

At the work christmas party, Mitchell finally admitted to Chelsea his true love. For her. Under the missel toe in the very middle of the room ,they kissed and then they leftm seperately of course. To keep their newly ignited relationship a secret. At least for now.

Over the annual christmas and new year break, Chelsea and Mitchell continued seeing each other. He took her to the movies and to dinner and shopping. During the last week, they both met each other's families. First, Chelsea met the Johnsons and then a few days later, Mitchell met the Hariss's.

Chelsea returned to work the next week with a big, gold ring on her finger with a diamond on it. Jennifer was ecstatic when she heard Chelsea's news and all the other girls were as jealous an anything when they learnt that Chelsea and Mitchell were an item. Many of them gave Chelsea dirty looks and others threatened her on the way out of the meeting. But Chelsea just shrugged it off, knowing that she had the msn she loved ,ost in the world by her side, his arm round her shoulders and with his other hand, he held Chelsea's. When everyone had left the room, He pulled Chelsea round and kissed her. Chelsea had achieved the fantasy shhe'd always wanted and to her, that kiss felt like triumph.
