Waking up the next morning to find my phone with a text from Dom.

"Check your email."

I force myself out of my bed to fetch my laptop in order to sign in to my email, when I do I find that he's sent me details on where to buy and get my new uniform fitted.

He's also attached the details of the first-ever flight I'll be working:

Flight QF632

MEL - SIN

Passenger Jet Boeing 737-838

Departure: Friday 15th March, 1 pm.

Flight to Singapore on Friday, so that leaves me 2 days to get my shit sorted out.

I can't believe I'm going to be stuck on a plane for over 7 hours with Harry.

I thank the stars that he'll be locked away in the cockpit unable to see or speak to me.

After a late start to the day, I decided to go into the city to pick up my uniform. I spent what felt like ages trying on various uniforms brands in several stores before eventually settling on what I liked the best. I made a little extra effort to buy a skirt that would be flattering because there is nothing worse than feeling frumpy.

I decided to head back to my apartment and get some lunch on the way. When I noticed a text from Lucy.

I decided to call her rather than text back.

"Hey T, what are you up to today?" Her voice beams through my phone.

"Not much, just bought my uniform for work"

"Oh, so...you ended up taking the job?" She speaks in monotone, sounding unfazed by my new employment.

I haven't known Lucy for too long, we met when I was in the flight attendant academy, she joined late and somehow got away with it. We hit it off pretty quickly, telling me she had always wanted to become a flight attendant.

Yet when I told her Dom was offering me this position, she said that it would be a bad idea to work at the same airline with your boyfriend' which would explain her lack of excitement.

"Yeah, I think it's too good of an opportunity to pass up, being able to work straight out of studying is amazing," I say directing my voice into my phone.

I take a quick glance at the messages that Dom sent me once again, my heart rate picks up slightly thinking of being cooped up on a plane with Harry for so long.

"I get that, just be careful, I don't think mixing business and pleasure will end well."

She's right.

I've never really put much thought into Dom and I being together. It seemed to just fall into place. But I've been really thinking about us as a couple and what that entails if I'm working with him as my boss.
