JUNE'S POV
"mmmmm" Avery moaned when she took a bite of her steak, "this, right here is pure heaven. The online reviews did not lie. I have officially found our new go to place" she managed to say in between bites. "yeah, definitely" I replied half interested because my mind was wandering away to those beautiful green eyes I had seen earlier. There was something familiar about them and the warmth I think they hold whenever he looks at me or maybe I am just overthinking as always. "alright, what's the matter" Avery asked as she wiped her lips and dropped the napkin on the table. "what are you talking about?" I asked genuinely lost. "something is the matter, you have barely eaten your food and I know you love steak, so what is it that got you not eating". "nothing, there is nothing am just thinking about work that's it" I said. " we both know you are lying so spare so both the crap and just spill it". "alright, it's just...." I trailed. "just what?" she urged me to continue. I took a deep breath then turned to look at her, "It's just that I have been thinking about Matthew, I know I shouldn't but his eyes look so familiar and I feel different with him. I just can't explain it and it's getting annoying and I just want to forget everything. You understand right?" I said in one breath before I changed my mind about telling her. "I absolutely understand and it's absolutely normal to feel that way, after all he is one hot guy. I just think you should get to know him first and then you can decide if you want to go further and if he also likes you" she explained with a smile. "you have all the time after all you will be working together so just take your time". "alright, I will". "so please eat up cause this steak is too good to be wasted" she said as she resumed eating. I took a bite and she was right, the steak was extremely good, juicy and succulent and properly marinated. It was absolutely divine.
Dinner passed with alot of small talk here and there and I actually felt relaxed.

"Alright see you Tomorrow" I said when I got down from the car and waved at her as she drove off. I entered my apartment building and went to my apartment. I unlocked the door, got in and turned on the light, dropped my bag and kicked off my shoes. I sat on the couch and massaged my feet cause they hurt slightly. I started imagining what it will feel like if it was him massaging my feet with his strong hands. "what's wrong with you Jane" I said as I stood up and made my way into the bedroom. I stripped off my clothes and went to the bathroom and took a warm shower. I dried my body and wrapped a towel around my head. I took out my minnie mouse cotton pyjamas and wore them. I dried my hair and laid on my bed. I laid on my back as I faced the ceiling and I turned to my pillow when I started the ceiling started taking the form of Matthew's face. I forced myself not to think about him as I gently drifted off to sleep.
