"Fuck!" Michonne shouted out in anger as her many papers fell on the ground after running into a man, who was clearly not paying attention. It was Michonne's first day at her new law firm and she was already running at least 10 mins late and this interruption was not helping her.
"Let me help, I'm sorry." Said Rick as he bent down to help this unknown woman pick up her many papers. Rick had been talking on the phone with Lori and had become unaware of his surroundings until he ran straight into Michonne.
"Yeah, no thanks you've done enough." Said Michonne, clearly annoyed as she put her hand up to signify that he could stop. She could hear this man sigh as he got up and she rolled her eyes why is he the one sighing? I'm the one running late and he's the one who ran into me she thought as she picked up the rest of her papers finally getting up.
"Look, I was just trying to help I said sorry." Rick could tell she was in a rush and clearly flustered but he didn't appreciate her tone with him. Michonne signed and adjusted the bottom of her skirt, pulling it down as it had risen a bit in picking up her papers. "If I had the time to stand here and argue with you trust me I would but right now I don't. And I don't care about your sorry." She said rather abruptly as she began to quickly walk off not trying to be any later than she already was.
Rick sighed and shook his head, clearly this woman wasn't a pleasant person but at least she didn't have the time for an argument. He watched her as she quickly walked away his eyes moving down her as she walked away. An angry woman with a nice ass, what a shame he thought as he turned away once he was out of her view. He opened up his phone again, calling his wife back "hey, sorry I ran into a woman...no I physically ran into her…" He said, as he began to walk away his voice trailing off.

A few hours later
Michonne had survived her first day at her new job. It was hectic to say the least and her lateness did not help her in having a positive first impression on her new boss but she managed well enough and promised herself that she would be at least 10 minutes early tomorrow. But for now she needed a drink and walked into the town's local, and what seemed like, only bar.
"Jesus Christ, how fucking small is this town?" Blurted out Michonne rather abruptly as she opened the door to the bar and found the same man who she had ran into sitting at one of the stools. He looked up at the sound of the familiar voice with the same amount of annoyance from earlier and smirked, "you must be new here."
Michonne sighed and rolled her eyes as she sat about two bar stools away from Rick. Her locs were now down instead of the bun they were in earlier in the day and she now wore flats instead of the heels that she quickly learned were not comfortable. "Am I going to have to see you every day? Is this gonna be a thing cause I don't think it's gonna work out."
Rick chuckled lightly, he was on his 1st drink at the bar and even though this woman clearly had a chip on her shoulder he greatly preferred this environment than the one he had to come home to. "Now it wouldn't be too bad running into each other, would it?" "Uh, yeah it would be actually. Late to my first day on the job because someone doesn't know how to talk and walk and that someone seems to be everywhere I am." "...Where's the new job?" Asked Rick bypassing by her other comments, the alcohol lightened his mood and at this point he was getting a bit of joy out of her annoyed demeanor.
Michonne glanced at him a look of confusion on her face, is he really trying to start up a conversation with me? He must be drunk already. "Bartender, a gin and tonic please. Don't go light on the gin." She said, pointing a finger at him as the bartender nodded and prepared her drink. "I'm a lawyer" she answered, taking a sip of her drink once the bartender put it in front of her.
