Chapter 1 - Meeting me

Grrriiiiin, griiiin,griiiiiiin...I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, the busy city in the background, the sun fully risen and with a major hangover.....I hit the snooze button and pull my comforter over my head falling back into an easy slumber

Oh no! you don't, get your sexy ass out of bed and get ready for work.... My best friend Anna barged into my room and pulled the comforter away from my head

pleeaaase give me just five more minutes..... I whined

Nuh uh.... young lady rise and shine it's Monday and you said to drag you off your bed if you asked for more minutes of sleep and anyways you've got that big presentation today....

What!!! why didn't you wake me up earlier??, I dashed into the bathroom and quickly bathed and brushed my teeth,ran out of the bathroom and saw that Anna had picked out a dress for me, and that is why she is my best friend she remembered that I needed to look professional but still beautiful without her fashion sense I wonder where I would be now, probably I'll still be wearing suits everyday to work. I quickly dressed up and put on just minimum makeup which comprises of lipstick and mascara, put on my black stilettos, picked my jacket and opened my door only to smell the amazing scent of coffee wafting through the air, I followed the scent to the kitchen and saw her making pancakes while the coffee machine was on, thanks babe you are a life saver

I know

I poured myself a mug of coffee and immediately took a sip savouring the taste of pure black coffee... I gotta go,see you later

Okay, have a great day.she calls out just as I stepped out of our apartment.Anna and I live together as you can probably deduce from our interactions this morning, we both went to the same college and as fate would have it we ended up as roommates after so many months of her pushing to get to know me better I finally started opening up to her and I can happily say that I have never regretted any moment of our friendship, she knows me so well and I know her just as well, we decided to live together when I got a job here in in New York and she also got a job at a law firm in the same City I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice until I bumped into a wall.... no it was a person and that person was the only reason why I didn't kissed the ground when I bumped into him,he has his hands wrapped around my waist and I could feel the heat radiating off of him, he was built beautifully I'd give him that,had biceps that would make any woman drool, I slowly looked up to meet a beautiful set of green eyes which had flecks of brown around the iris,his eyes were hypnotizing and I couldn't break away from his stare, his midnight black hair fell slightly over his eyes and I was tempted to touch them to check whether they were as soft as they looked, drifting downwards I caught sight of his plump pink lips, tempting lips that was turned up in a smirk... like what you see? you know you can take a picture it lasts longer . wait!what??I quickly blinked out of the daze I was in and pulled away from him unable to look up at him ,I quickly bent to pick my purse that had fallen off when I bumped into him and tried to move past him

nuh uh, not so fast beautiful he said blocking me from moving past him, you know normal people would say thank you if they are saved from bumping heads with the pavement early in the morning

Thanks... I mumbled out and tried to move past him, the keyword being "tried" as he sidestepped me again, my name is....

I don't think I want to know your name, thanks for your help but I've got to go cause I don't have time to play so if you would excuse me...

I walked away quickly from him flagging down a taxi and jumping into it not looking back at him even though I could feel his gaze at my back .

Somehow I got through the day without any difficulty, the presentation was a blast and now I even think a promotion is oncoming, but no matter how much work I immerse myself in I couldn't stop my thoughts from going back to those beautiful eyes and seductive lips of my savior this morning.... what is wrong with me? I shake away all those thoughts and tried to focus on my work but I couldn't stop my mind from straying towards the Adonis I met this morning
