"Trust me to bloody walk into the hottest guy that's probably ever walked into our building! What is wrong with me?"
"You're just clumsy sometimes babe, don't worry about it. He seemed to be smittened by you though."
"He was just being nice by helping me off the floor." I state although I really wanna believe the words from Jade right now.
"See that right there, Have some self confidence woman! You're an intelligent gorgeous, hot piece of ass, who by the way I would totally fuck straight or gay, so stop putting yourself down. Ok!"
And this is why she is my best friend ladies and Gentlemen. I link arms with Jade as we continue walking down the street until we get to a nearby pub for some much needed lunch.
"Anyway before you got knocked on your ass, I was asking about your portfolio."
"Yeah it's going well actually, when I get back from this course I want to try and book onto an advanced photography course. I want to perfect my skills and make sure that I give my self the best foundation to start up."
"I don't want you to leave but you gotta do what you gotta do and I know that photography is your passion."
"That it is, I just need it to hit the ground running and I'll be happy." We ordered our lunch, had more small talk and headed back to the office to finish up our working day.
Soon enough Sunday has rolled around and I am packing up Dory, my blue Ford Focus titanium to head over to the hotel. Bolton asked Jade to book me into Le Carte hotel which is a 5 star rating and is one of the best around town. I pull up out front and the valet takes my keys to park my baby, whilst the other helps me inside to check in. I've been given my key card to my room which is situated on the top floor and I can't believe my eyes when I step into my room for the next 4 days. There is a huge king sized bed with soft white cotton sheets and 4 big fluffy pillows. I walk into the bathroom and it is twice the size of mine at home, easily. It has a jacuzzi bath and a stand alone shower as well. I have to send Bolton a message straight away thanking him for this.
I get to unpacking my things and pull out my laptop and books and start doing some reading and revising for this course tomorrow. I really am fed up of these courses now and it's almost disheartening. Fed up of reading after only an hour I shut down my laptop and put aside my books and notes for tomorrow. I change into some Pj's, brush my teeth and tuck myself into bed watching Family guy.

It's Monday morning and I've been wide awake since 5:30am. My alarm goes for 7:30am and I groan and roll out of bed.
"I seriously need to do something so I can sleep past 5:30." I get up, order my breakfast and head into the bathroom and take a nice refreshing shower. No sooner had I got out and wrapped the towel around there was a knock at my door. I go to answer it and it's my breakfast. I collect it, sit on the bed and had my breakfast whilst watching the news. I pack away my breakfast things so they could be collected and pull out a simple outfit for the day. Blue fitted jeans, black t-shirt and black heels to finish off my look. I add a small blazer and take up my bag with my books and head downstairs to the conference room.
I stop and order a latte, because God knows I'm probably going to need it today. I follow the little signs showing where where the 'Managing safely' course is and open the door and head inside. There are only 6 people seated so far and it seems our names are already assigned to the small round brown tables. I walk in and try to keep my head down when I hear my name being called and the voice seems vaguely familiar.
"Sky?" I turn around and see those familiar honey glazed eyes once more.
"H-Hey, Simon. How are you?"
