Lie To Yourself

2

The twinkles of light peeking through my curtains woke me from a pretty boring dream. I guess I better get up.

It was a Monday morning and it would start the same any other would, I'd set my alarm for 6:30, scroll on Facebook for 30 mins and then make my way to the kitchen at 7:00. It usually only took my a couple of minutes to get ready once I'd got out of the shower. I scrambled my mousy blonde hair into a neat pony tail and put on a bit of chaps stick and mascara. It's not that I don't like to make an effort but who am I making an effort for?

I scrolled through my wardrobe and settled for a grey dress, resting slightly above my knees and tight in all of the places that flattered me. I stuck on some 'absolutely no need' high heels, stuck a breakfast bar in my mouth, hooked my bag on my shoulder and grabbed my car keys.

It typically takes me 30 mins to get to work, that is unless the government have decided to waste money on pointless roadworks and so there's just constant traffic! But today was ok. I parked in my assigned spot, had a lovely quick check in the mirror and then signed myself in the office.

My boss, Tim Clark was already in the office when I arrived.

'Hey Katie, did you have a nice weekend?' He called through from his office.

'Hi! Erm sort of nonchalant, you?'

'Don't tell me you broke someone else's heart did you?' I could hear the smile in his voice

'It's their own fault! I make it very clear that I can offer them nothing but my body and for only 1 hour, not that they ever need that long ahah' I just couldn't help breaking into fits of giggles

'Ouch, burn, touch down!' He replied to my stark story.

'You're a dick' I know that our working relationship is not a typical MD/PA relationship but we've been working together since I was 17. Tim hired me as an apprentice and showed me everything that I know. He really is a brilliant boss. But I know what you're thinking, and this isn't the way the story is going. He's not a creep, he has never and would never try anything with me!
