Mate ?

The morning sun is barely breaking through the window of the room I lay in as I groggily wake up. My body hurt as I stretched my limbs, trying to get comfortable.

I looked up from the floor at my best friend lying on the bed. I had been living with my best friend, Elle, for a month now. After my situation with my parents, I was left stranded with my loads at my childhood front door. Elle was the only one who took me in, even though her room was so tiny that It could barely fit in something, and her bed could roughly fit one person, I was fine lying on the floor

Sitting up, I raised my hands to shield my eyes from this brutal sun and tugged this excuse of blanket up my torso. I had work in an hour, but the cold felt unbearable as I felt my spine still, and my toe curl.

"You should get up soon" Elle mumbled from the bed "You don't want to be late on your first day"

Bullocks!

It was my first day at work today as a personal assistant, I wasn't thrilled. No one would be thrilled at going to work but I needed some money to pay for some bills and save up some money for a new place.

"Uggh!" I sat up. "I don't know what to wear:I grumbled, trying to find a perfect fit among my clothes in my head.

"Some clothes?"

"Well, no shit Sherlocks" I rolled my eyes, getting up.

"Just avoid that tracksuit you normally wear and you will be fine" she snuggled into her pillow.

"That's mainly the only clothes in my closet, you can't expect me not to wear them" I huffed, feeling frustrated early this morning.

"We should have gone shopping yesterday, just go through my side of the closet" she sighed "I am sure you would find some skirts and shirts there"

"My ass and boobs are effectively bigger than yours, not to add to the fact that I am bigger than you. It would barely fit"

"Way to go in reminding a girl of her predicament, love" If only she knew how much I hated this.

I opened her side of the closet, skimming through it. Picking up a black skirt I felt would fit me and a white shirt, they would make a good pair.

Heading straight into the bathroom, I had my bath, drying off my body. I proceeded to put on the clothes.

Turing around "What do you think?"

Elle looked back from where she was doing her routine, at least one of us cares about that. "It doesn't look bad" she shrugged "but be careful there or a button or two might pop out"

I turned to the mirror, examining my reflection, my grey eyes stared back at me. She was right, my boobs looked like they were going to burst open anytime soon. "I hope today goes fine for me."

"Trust me, it would" she smiled.

I picked up my bag and headed straight to work.

Today is going to be fine, I thought.

*****

"Hey"i greeted Jack as I got into his car, he handed me a cup of coffee then proceeded to hit start the car. 

"How was your night love?" He asked concern evident in his voice, but his gaze focused solely on the road. 

"It was fine" I smiled, wrapping my fingers around the cup, I let the heat warm my palms, almost hesitant in drinking the coffee,I didn't want to lose my source of warmth.

"You know you could always stay with-"

Shaking my head, I cut him midway"I know, Jack and I am thankful for that, I am okay staying at Elle's" 

"You sleep on the floor, I don't know what your idea of comfortable is"he muttered, making my cheek heat up in embarrassment.

"It is only temporary, I am fine" I give him one of the smile I have practiced so well like I had everything in my life controlled–like my life wasn't hanging around by a loose thread.

He pulled over at the front of the office "make sure you call me if things get bad."

I laughed "it is work Jack, not a prison break"

"We both know that's not what I was talking about"

My smile seized slowly, replaced by a grimace "Thank you"

I picked my bag and got down from the car, Jack could be annoying sometimes, I had met him at college ever since then we had just clicked and he became the big brother that I never had.

I guess at the tall building, breathing in and out I ambled my way into the building.

Everywhere screamed luxury, from the people walking around to the walls. I felt conscious in my tight shirt and skirt, I must have looked like a kid compared to the woman who just passed me by.

"Look at her" people were whispering and it felt like college all over again, I practiced my breathing exercise once more and continued walking.

"Hello?" My head turned at the voice of the woman, who was definitely the receptionist seated behind the counter.

I moved towards her "I got an employment here, for the personal assistant spot"

Her gaze ran through me, scanning me. Then her lips twisted in a smile "mind telling me your name?"

"Lovely axelton" the sound of her keyboard tapping rang through as she typed my name into her computer.

"Okay, here it is" she stared at my face the back at the computer, trying to confirm my identity.

"You may go down the hall, and towards the elevator" she smiled.

"Thank you" my feet padded it way down the hall.

I stopped in front of the elevator, was I supposed to use this?

Before i could reconsider going back to the receptionist to ask for directions, the door to the elevator pinged open and a man stepped out.

Oh Jesus.

I stared at him, no words to describe how much of a perfection he was.

"Mate"He growled and no ducking way did he just growl like a freaking caveman.
