Monday 08:45am

I looked into the mirror one last time before I got in my car and drove to work. I wore a black pantsuit with a white blouse and simple black heels and a low bun, with some jewellery to make the outfit pop. I arrived at work and the building was much bigger than expected. I went to the receptionist and asked for my office and a little building tour.

"So Khanani welcome to Outstanding Creations, my name is Lily and I'm the receptionist. Mike will be down at any moment, so please take a seat" the receptionist said to me

"Oh okay thank you, and uhm you're really pretty"

"Thank you! you're too kind and so are you! like look at your face and that hair ugh stunning"

"Lily, is this the new building creative director?" A tall white man said to Lily

"Yes Mr De Mayo"

"Oh well welcome, I'm Mike but you may call me Mr De Mayo and your name?" He said while extending his hand out for me to shake

"Khanani sir, very pleased to meet you"

"Wow you have a nice accent and an interesting portfolio, I fell in love with your designs just so different and unique, I had to get you on our team!"

"Well thank you, I'm extremely flattered"

"Well let me show you around the office and then we'll get to your office"

We walked around the building and I was shown different departments in the building, we finally arrived at the creative department and walked towards what seemed like my office. My office was on the 5th floor, I had a beautiful view of LA and had an entire wall made of glass so I was able to see everything, my office was pretty dull and empty and was waiting for me to spice it up.

"This is your office, you have everything you can ever need, thank you for joining Outstanding Creations I hope you like it enough to stay with us"

"I have no doubts, thank you Mr De mayo"

I pretty much didn't do anything today because it was my first day, I sat in my office and thought about ways that I can change up my office. I sketched a few ideas and finished off a few old ones in my portfolio for the rest of the day. I packed all my necessary stuff and walked to the parking lot.

"Hey" a random tall darkskin man with a fade, two diamond earrings, a baggy but fashionable suit, and shiny work shoes said to me.

"Hello" I said awkwardly standing by my car

"Hey I'm Damson, I'm in the creative department for advertising"

I had no idea who he was but he sure was very cute and had a thick British accent.

"Oh okay im Khanani, I'm the new creative director, nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too, are you from South London?"

"Nope I'm from South Africa, how did you hear a British accent? I giggled lightly

"hm, I heard it just a little, girls from South London tend to have thick African accents with a mix of British accents but it's really light"

"Oh okay well that's interesting, well I've got to go I'll see you tomorrow"

"Wait uh do you mind if I can get your number?"

"Hmmm" I looked him up and down and met with his eyes again "why do you deserve to have my number?"

"Girl I have to take a quiz just to get your number lol you're cute but I guess I'll answer...i deserve to have your number because you are a beautiful black princess with a cute laugh and clearly very ambitious, you deserve a prince on your side to spoil you and make you feel beautiful"

"Eh?" I laughed in his face because that was the wildest thing someone has ever said to me, he started off good until he got to that prince bullshit!

"Damson, that was terrible and I don't need a king at the moment but we can be friends"

"Sure I'll take that for now"

"Okay here's my number..." I gave it to him and got in my car and drove home

...

I was on FaceTime with Tyler once I got out the shower and couldn't wait to tell him about my day.

"SO THIS GUY PULLS UP TO ME AND SAYS SOME WEIRD STUFF!"

"Girl like what? did he touch you?"

"Nah because if he did I swear I would slap him back to the UK"

Tyler giggled as I was sitting in my towel plaiting my for the night.

"He's from the UK? Those niggas always think they can get any girl I SWEAR with their stupid expensive accents, sounding like rich children"

"Boy what? But anyway so he asked for my number and i-" Tyler interrupted me

"AND YOU SAID NO RIGHT?"

"let me finish, I said yes and gave it to him, he seems really chilled and I like how he talks."

"It's just a stupid accent, he ain't cute"

"Actually he kinda is, he had on a baggy suit with a fresh fade and rings bestie! RINGS!"

"Okay remove bestie from the list and Khanani he seems lame to me"

"Let me tell you what he said when I told him to give me a reason to give him my number"

"mmhm"

"he was like 'Well you're a princess blah blah blah and you're gonna need a prince next to you' DID I NOT DIE"

"Okay I can't stay mad his lines were wack and so was your British accent seriously, but you don't need a prince because guess what..."

He stared at me through the camera and waited for my answer with a large smile on his face.

"What?"

"Girl how are you so fine yet so slow? You don't need a prince because you are a queen and I'm your king ugh this nigga!"

"Im not that slow and yes you are my king, nobody can replace you, now gimme kith"

Tyler pouted towards the screen and made kissy noises with me, my towel began to slowly slide down and I caught it in time before Tyler could see me naked.

"Ugh why you so slick? I was about to get a peek"

"Not today Tyler"

"Then when?"

"Tyler? No!"

"Pleassseeeee"

"No! Go be horny somewhere else im going to sleep goodnight."

"Goodnight who?"

"Goodnight monkey man"

"That's not my na-"

I ended the call before he could finish his sentence and put my phone on the charger. I finished my night routine and got into bed ready for the next day.
