DIANAMy eyes widen to the ray of sun piercing through my blinds.It's 8:06 in the morning, I'm supposed to be at work by 7am. I'm late, again. Shawn is going to kill me. I make my way for the bathroom as fast as I can and I go face first into the shelf in my working corner. This definitely is not the behavior of someone trying to get a promotion. I heave a sigh of frustration.Thankfully I only sustain a small bump on the side of my forehead. I must have metal for a skull.I make a mental note in my head to text my brother and inform him I'd be dropping by after work.I rinse my face and proceed to have my bath and board a cab to work.Shawn spots me.“Ah, Diana. Stuck in traffic again?”He asks, making his way towards me.That's a usual excuse for me to be fair, but the traffic in LA is not even child's play.“I'm sorry Shawn, I know you wouldn't believe me, but there were minor inconveniences.”“You're damn right I wouldn't, see me in my office by the close of work” I groan while m

DIANAI'm outside my work place when I realize I didn't leave my brother a text to let him know I'd be dropping by today. So I call him._“Hey Daniel”__“Hi, Diana?”_He always does that, call my name in question to confirm if it's really me on the phone, I don't know what for or why, but sometimes it just gets frustrating._“Expecting someone else?”__“Sorry, been long”__“It's been 3 days Daniel, I called you on Sunday”__“Rightttt, my bad. So what's up?”__“Making my way to your apartment. Except I don't know the way to your apartment, so I need directions”__“I thought you said Wednesday?”__“Well I'm a day early, are you going to give me directions or not Daniel?”__“Ugh yh, sorry, Admiralty high way, let the cab drop you at the LA Kindread Hospital. My apartment is just around the curb by the side of the hospital. Ask for Royalty Complex. I'm on the last floor, 12b. See ya”__“Thanks big bro”_I take his directions as specifically as I can and I finally make it to the elevator.

DIANASnapping out of my thoughts, I pick up my bag and leave Daniel's house. I put the key under his mat, just as he instructed and I head for Lynn's house.Lynn is my best friend. The absolute best. We've known each other for what feels like an eternity but is actually just 3 years, she works at the coffee shop just next to the Media company, not that she needs it. Her family is wealthy, so she doesn't lack. She just wants to feel like she has her hands on something, according to her. I grabbed her attention when I kept getting coffee consistently for 2 weeks due to some issues with my parents at home.She was there to comfort me, and she's always been there since, so I find my way to the Hospital and take a cab to Lynn's from there. I punch in the code and walk into her apartment when I get there, something smells fire, not literally though.Lynn is cooking. She squeals in excitement on seeing me.“Hey D!”“Hey L!”We both let out a vivacious laughter.“I wasn't expecting you”. Sh

DIANAI leave the apartment and make for the elevator, the door opens, revealing the most handsome guy I've seen in a few years. I'm too sad and tired too be moved. But I notice his features. His hair seems a deep shade of brown, same as his eyes, and this simple feature compliments his face.His body is well built, and he's tall, very tall, a good 5 inches taller by my guess. I snap out of my trance and snap my hands at him,“Hello? I need to make it down, if you'd be so kind as to step out the elevator please”.“Yes, sorry” He says.He steps out, his eyes never leaving my body, till the doors closes. Thoughts are coming in, but I'm too tired to pay attention to them, so I wave them off and focus on my present situation.I decide to make a stop at Lynn's, just for comfort. so I take a cab from the hospital out front, to hers. We talk about work, I tell her about the amazing progress I've been making so far, and I tell her about my mum. That moment is clouded because I have so much

DIANAHis presence is oddly comforting, it's enough, it feels safe, it feels happy and it finally feels like what I've craved all these years. Our conversations are not forced, there is no silent moment, unless we're both giving our undivided attention to the TV, or staring at each other, smiling.No one has made me feel this way in a long while, especially in such a short time, and I'm trying hard not to make it obvious that I haven't felt this way in a while.When we're done with the last episode for the first season, we realize it's past 11.“It's past 11” He says with a hint of disappointment in his voice.“That it is, we could do this again?” I ask, standing up, I don't even know why I asked that.Please don't find me embarrassingPlease don't find me embarrassingPlease don't find me embarrassing“We should, we definitely should”. He says, laughing.Phew.“Alright, Bye?” I ask, making my way for the door.“Bye, D” There's a pause before the D, and his facial expression is to rem
