On Saturday, Hailey spent the morning cleaning her apartment. Cleaning was another method of escape for her, she enjoyed it. She'd just plug in her earphones and start cleaning, shutting the world out and her negative thoughts.

Around two in the afternoon, she was finished with laundry and housework and decided to take a much needed bubble bath.

Closing her eyes, she relaxed in her tub, bobbing her head to her favourite R&B song: Too close by Next.

"Baby when we're grinding, I get so excited. Ooh, how I like it, I try but I can't fight it. Oh, your dancing real close. Plus it's real real slow. You're making it hard for me." She sang, moving her hips to the rhythm of the song.

Her phone chimed and she opened her eyes to read a whatsapp message from an unknown number,

Hey. 🙂

She furrowed her brows slightly as she stared at the unsaved number. Checking the profile, she noticed there wasn't a display picture. Skeptically, she replied,

Hi, who's this, please?

Her phone beeped less than a minute later with a single-worded message that made her heart skip a beat,

Romeo.

Biting her lower lip, she contemplated a reply. How does she answer a message from her boss? Usually, if he needed her, he'd just call her from his office phone. She could tell this was a cellphone number. His private number. This wasn't a business message.

Hailey: Hi.

Romeo: Lol. Is this weird?

Yeah, she thought.

Hailey: No.

What did he want? Why was he texting her? Didn't he have a wife?

Romeo: Yeah, it is. Sorry, I'm a little bored. My wife is in Georgia for a show. She's a runway model.

Oh, he texted her because he was bored. Ha. And, of course an attractive man like him would have a wife who's a model.

Hailey: Oh, nice. I'm just here chilling.

Romeo: Where?

She contemplated telling her boss that she was laying in her bathtub. Would that be inappropriate? With a sigh, she gave up overthinking and just sent him a text.

Hailey: In my bathtub.

Romeo: 👀

Yep, it was definitely inappropriate, she thought. Why would she send that? What was wrong with her?

Her phone sounded with another message and she nervously peeked at the screen,

That's really nice.

A sheepish smile spread across her lips.

Hailey: How are you doing apart from being bored?

Romeo: I'm ok. A little tired. Been working on a project since last night. Barely got any sleep.

Hailey: That's not a healthy practice. It's recommended to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.
