His (Book 1) {Currently EDITING}

Three *Edited*

I awoke the next morning from a very startling dream about a man that I hardly knew anything about, but his name.

 What if Leo wasn't even his name? What if he lied like the rest of the men I had the displeasure of coming across? Ugh, I couldn't think of that now, I had to get ready for work. 

I sat up, yawned, and ran a hand through my birds nest of a head. This is what I got for not wrapping my hair up last night. I looked at my clock and saw that I had to get to work.

I was pursuing a career in Psychology and I had already been hired in a small but very promising practice. Since I had been able to graduate with my masters early, I was already on my way to a Ph.D and one day even owning a private practice of my own. I was a counseling psychologist and I had loved every minute of it.

Getting up from my bed, I slowly walked to my bathroom and took took ten minute shower. 

Afterwards I lotioned up and picked out my professional attire. I believed in being early, even if I had gotten up a little late. I picked the black Mary Jane's from last night and placed them on the floor in front of my bed. Putting on a black bra and some pink panties, I walked over towards my vanity and cut on it's lights.  

I sprayed some oil on my hair, brushed it through, and then started curling, making  loose curls that accentuated my face. I then cut off my vanity and the curlers and turned to go get dressed. I shimmed into my skirt, Buttoned up my shirt, and added the necessary accessories. I then put on my blazer, grabbed my bag and laptop bag, and then headed out. 

When I entered the kitchen,I saw Amber sitting at our small kitchen table, sipping coffee and reading the newspaper on her Kindle, something she often did.

 "Hey girl." I said as I grabbed my thermos and filled it with some coffee

 "Hey, off to work?"

 "Yes."

  "So, about last night. Who was that guy staring at you?" She smirked, sipping her coffee

 "Some dude named Leo. I bumped into him on my way out of the bathroom."

 literally.

 "Oh, no wonder your stomach was 'hurting'." She remarked, making air quotes

 I twisted my mouth to the side. She smirked, still looking at her Kindle.

"Mhm, and don't think I didn't see Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome walk outside after you either. "

I started blushing and gripped my computer bag tighter.

"So what happened? Something I should know?"

"Nothing happened. We just talked that's all."

"No wonder you want to go back Friday."

I blushed harsher. She did nothing but beamed happily.

"Nice to see you getting back on the horse so soon. Have a good day at work."

This time she looked at me with a small smile. I smiled back, and I quickly left.

Once I parked in front of the building, I got out of my car, bags in tow and clunky heels pounding the pavement. I entered the modern foyer that screamed professional office, and kept going until I reached my floor. Once I walked off of the elevator, I ran into my best work mate (and mentor), Caine.

"Morning Ellie, how are we doing this morning?" He asked

"Great. Though still a little lagged from last night, my room mates dragged me to yet another club."
