Breaking The Game [Book #1]

Chapter 39

Narrator

Early in the morning North went home to change and got called into work to run a few errands. Allie slept through her entire leaving and didn't even feel North leave the bed.

Yesterday afternoon they took a long nap. North obviously woke up first and immediately ordered dinner from a restaurant. She even went to go pick it up. Allie was even asleep through that.

Allie forced herself to eat even though she threw up her food right after. North was then forced to clean up the mess and feed Allie something small.

The night was full of tossing and turning. Allie was plagued with numerous bad dreams. North couldn't sleep herself after the long nap they took.

Today is the day North's office gets setup. She already called her friends. They've already loaded a truck filled with her office stuff and her expensive Apple desktop. She has the blueprint in her mind of how she wants the room to look.

North brought extra clothes over, but she's still in her uniform. She's sitting at the kitchen table filling out several documents.

She's sitting in her grey slacks. Her hair is down and the sleeves to her white button down shirt are folded. Her feet are sitting nicely in her black heels. Today she doesn't have make up on.

Allie turns into the kitchen, dripping wet in a white towel. Her tattoos are glistening because of the water. Her hair is straight and flat, sticking to some of her chest. She approaches North silently.

North shoots a glance in her direction and is caught off guard.

"Hey." Allie said stopping in front of the table.

"Uh, hey ..." North said awkwardly.

"What're you up too?" Allie asked looking over at the documents.

"Just work." North answered softly. "Are you okay? You're not cold walking out here like that?"

"No, no not really." Allie said softly.

Piercing eye contact is made. North feels heat between her legs. Allie feels it too, but it's more of the need for comfort blossoming into a forest.

"What?" North asked.

Allie shrugged. "I don't know. Kinda just wanted to entertain myself."

North smiled. "Entertain yourself with me?"

Allie chuckled. "I'm kinda just lost in motion - ya' know."

North nodded. "I know. It's okay. Are you okay?"

Allie shrugged. "I don't know."

"Yeah, it may be like that for a while ... Um, I'm getting my friends to clean and setup the room today. I know it's totally short notice, but I think now's a good time." North said.

"Um, I mean I guess. I have work for the next few days so - how long is this gonna take?" Allie asked.

"Probably the rest of today. I mean its about 12 in the afternoon, we should be okay." North answered.

"You got like, everything? Whatever you use and stuff?" Allie asked.

"My file cabinets, desktop, printer, photo copier and actual desk are all in a moving truck right now, yes." North said.

"Jeez. When are they coming over?" Allie asked.

"Um, whenever I call them." North said.

"Oh okay, cool. I'll just go get ready then - before I get myself sick." Allie said.
