The door to the Meeting room was locked firmly by the time she got there, she locked her ears firmly to the door but there was no sound coming out. She began beating on the door with her bare hands but the door refused to give way. It was a hopeless cause; she would have to wait till the meeting was over

Just that singular wave was enough to make his day.He had intentionally called in late at the football practise just so he could have a glimpse of her longer today, blushing from ear to ear.Stacy was walking with her group of minions, which were quite a bunch; they followed her everywhere she went.
