Watching You

Alexis's pov

My alarm went off I reached over grabbing my phone I turned it off and checked my notifications

I sat up rubbing my face I got up combing through my Baby doll bangs with my fingers to try and straighten them out some

I walked to my bathroom I turned the light on and looked into the mirror

I smiled

Every morning the first time I see myself in a mirror I smile just as a way to get my morning started

I brushed my teeth, combed my hair then put it up into a pony tail

I thought I was pretty my front teeth were gapped hidden behind full pouty lips I had big cheeks on a round face framed in shoulder length brown hair and of course my baby doll bangs greenish yellowish eyes surrounded in small lashes

I'm rather thick I'm normally a 14 or a 16 I had wide hips and big thighs but my waist was smaller in comparison my chest was a C so large but not overly so

I went back to my room I put on mascara and lipstick I put on a pink button up and pulled on a black skirt with black heels I grabbed my lunch box grabbing a water bottle and ice pack from my fridge and freezer my lunch was pre packed I put my purse on my shoulder tucking my phone into it

I hopped in my car taking off 1 heel to drive

I pulled up at work and stepped out putting my heel back on "good morning" I said to each person as they passed me

I sat at my cubical getting my phone out setting my purse and lunch box under my desk

I logged on and pulled up the article I was working on I proof read it my neighbor sat down her coffee in hand I smiled at her "good morning"

She groaned "wait till I drink my coffee then be all happy n shit"

I laughed "What are you working on Peg?"

She sighed "boss told me I'm answering emails" she recently got demoted due to her lack of efficiency in writing (meaning she wasn't pushing her articles out fast enough)

"Customer service?" I frowned "I thought..." I glanced across the hall behind me to one of the men "isn't that Franklin's job?"

"He got mine and I got his" Peggy hissed

"Oh girl I'm so sorry" I bit my lip "well why don't we go out? We could have a girls night and-"

"Alexis you're so nice but I don't expect that from you" she shook her head "we are work friends and that's only because I rely on you all the time for stupid random things" she was so frustrated it was painfully obvious

I nodded "okay" I smiled lightly "then how about we go grab snacks from the vending machine n' talk shit"

She smiled widely "okay correction a really great work friend I can always count on you for something positive"

"You know it" We got up together walking to the vending machines I got a soda and a bag of chips I waited for Peggy

"Ladies" a man said as he passed but as he passed his hand happened to graze my backside I turned managing to glare at him before he was too far

I knew it was on purpose

We walked back and my boss was at my computer "good morning" I said cheerfully he was scrolling through my article

"Hello Dixon" he mumbled "Uh I'm going for a meeting tomorrow and I need you to come along to take notes, Jamerson is out sick" he leaned back some motioning me to sit

I sat hesitantly he put a hand on my shoulder "and dress nice would you?"

"Yes" I nodded refusing to look up at him I looked at his hand "are you needing anything sir?"

"No" he took his hand back and I heard his thudding steps

"Why do they have to touch us?" Peggy sounded disgusted

"I don't fucking know" I said irritatedly then smiled "at least I've got a good neighbor" I elbowed her

"True"

I went back to work I knew the exact dress I could wear it was brand new and I'll set it out as soon as I get home

If anything this is a great opportunity to wear it

Harry's pov

I heard the light piano melody of my alarm I sat up and slipped out of bed I walked to my bathroom to shave and brush my teeth I gave my hair a quick comb

I'd have to get a trim soon

I walked back out slipping on boxers and walking into my closet where my suit was already hanging up I glanced at the tag

Today's suit is Gucci, mm I thought so

I got dressed I picked up a cologne spraying myself twice I sat on the round ottoman in my closet pulling on some shoes

I walked out of my room I sat at my bar and my maid set my coffee down in front of me along with a plate of fruits

"Good morning" she said

"Yes morning" I answered she went to leave the kitchen "before you go Samantha" she froze "vacuum the rug in my room and in the closet I can't tell if you've done that in awhile... it most certainly doesn't feel like it"

"Yes sir" she hurried out

"System Play classical music" I called out hearing soft music start as I ate my breakfast

After I finished I stepped out and my driver was waiting I slipped into my car "good morning sir" my driver hummed

"Yes" I answered I opened my phone checking my calendar and emails

We pulled up I stepped in everyone looked away and the soft buzz became silent I walked into the lift going up to my office

I reached my floor I walked out I could see people whisper as I passed them 2 women stepped out of a room talking rather loudly but as soon as they saw me they stopped dead in their tracks going quiet

They act as if I'd snap and murder someone in an instant

I sat at my computer opening that calendar as well

I must get an assistant or something my phone says I have a meeting for 7 and my computer says it's for 6

I'm sure it's for 7 I reread the email but I could use someone to sort shit like this so I shouldn't have to
