Spilt water

The next morning Carina woke up to the sun glaring through the gap in her curtains. She was pretty exhausted after being kept awake last night with the constant thoughts of a certain blonde racing around her head. She knew and respected the professional boundaries between both of them, but there was just something about Maya that made her almost forget all of the self-made rules she had created. There were no official rules and regulations on work colleague relationships, but Carina presumed it would be frowned upon, especially considering her status.

Soon after getting ready, Carina made her way into her kitchen to make a coffee for the journey into work. However, she did not manage to even start the coffee as her thoughts kept drifting off to the artist that she was meeting again this morning. This had been happening since she woke up this morning. Got out of bed, thought about Maya. Brushed her teeth, thought about Maya. Went for a shower, thought about Maya (probably in the least professional way possible may it be added). Chose her outfit for the day, thought about Maya. She could not quite decide on an outfit today because nothing seemed to be good enough, "none of this is any good, I need to shop for new clothes" she mumbled to herself. "I need to look good today, better than good. I need to look sexy. Professional sexy of course. Professional" Carina reminded herself.

After the long unnecessary process of making the cappuccino, Carina finally made her way to her car, keys in one hand and coffee in the other. She arrived at the office soon later, greeted by Vic on the front desk. "Good morning Victoria" Carina said with the biggest smile anyone could possibly produce at 8am in the morning. "You are more than happy this morning did someone get laid last night? I want all the details" Vic smirked followed by a wink. Carina and Vic have been very close for many years now, even before Carina got promoted. She really was someone Carina could rely on, and she considered Vic as her best friend outside of her friends back home in Italy. Carina just laughed in response to the receptionist's comment and headed for her office.

Getting more and more nervous for her meeting, Carina decided to go to the bathroom to freshen up. Upon opening her office door, she was too busy looking down at her phone, reviewing once again all of the music Maya had produced previously, to see someone walking towards her, also on their phone, and also completely unaware of another walking in their direct path. Before Carina could do anything, she collided straight into the woman, resulting in the lady spilling her water all over her white top. "Dios mio! I am so sorry I...". Just as Carina looked up in complete horror, she was met with the most beautiful blue eyes she has ever seen. "Hello again, fancy bumping into you here... quite literally" Maya laughed. "I feel so embarrassed my goodness I should've been looking at where I was going. Not a great impression on you first official day". "First day? The official offer for the contract is finalised?" Maya said in complete shock, because in all honesty she wasn't too sure if she would be accepted, this place was for mega stars. "We will talk about this in my office if you would like to come in?" Carina smiled with her eyes, knowing she was mentally jumping through hoops right now because she was able to spend much more time with the American. "I will be right there I just need to sort my clothes out a little" Maya laughed nervously as she looked down at her now soaked through, see-through white top. Carina glanced down at Maya's chest which was fully now on show thanks to her. Her face immediately became flushed and she began to once again forget all of the unwritten professional rules she had created. Carina quickly diverted her eyes trying her best not to make it obvious that seeing Maya's nipples through her shirt really turned her on. This of course though did not go unnoticed by Maya, who was simply standing and observing the Italian, relishing on the effect she knew she had on Carina. "See anything you like Miss Deluca?" Maya said flirtatiously, emphasizing on the 'Miss'.
