Josh opens the door for me,"what a true gentleman" I tease before sliding into the front seat of his Bugatti Veyron gracefully. "What can I say, I know how to treat a lady right" he winks,"I will keep that in mind" I chuckle. We had meaningless conversations to while away time as he drove to the restaurant. Parking the car josh tells me to wait,he climbs down turning around to open my door. "My lady" he bows,"okay" I chuckle climbing down,I take his elbow as we strolled into the restaurant. "Welcome ma,sir" the waiter stops us, "reservations under Mr Harris,"the waiter quickly checks his notepad,before smiling up at us. "Yes, please follow me your table is right this way," "sure" I give him a smile to calm his nerves. I can't imagine myself working his job,rich people can be very mean. He stops in front of a two seat table, Josh pulls my chair out for me,"thanks" I whisper before sitting,he was charming me on all levels,he tucks me in before turning around to take his seat across mine. "Wine?" the waiter asks," ofcourse," Josh nods and he serves us the wine from the cooler before leaving with the promise to come back and take our order. "So why aren't you in school?" I ask before sipping the wine,"I am actually but classes don't start till October". "My god! that's two months from now" I pout,"yeah" he chuckles,"so what about you?" "I took a year off," "oh!" He sounded really surprised,I mean I was valedictorian of our set can I blame him,"but which university do you plan to attend?" "Me and my friends are going to England" I smiled. "Sarah and Geraldine?" "Yeah,we all took one year off," "okay" he nods,I picked up the menu. "What are you doing now then?" "I work in KWIN enterprise," "wow!" He gasps,"yah dad got me the job". The waiter returns and we gave him our order, Josh stares at me intently. "What?" I ask, nervously nibbling on my lower lip, "what's up with Drake?" I sigh in annoyance,serving myself another glass of wine,"we broke up" I shrugged nonchalantly,I didn't want to think of drake now or ever. "Why? If you don't mind me asking," "I do mind" I snap before the guilt took over as his face fell,"okay" he whispers "Josh I'm so sorry,but let's talk about something else". "It's okay I overstepped" he smiles,"yah alittle but that's a matter of the past,tell me your expectations for college". He starts to talk and I gave my input where needed, somewhere along the line the food arrived but we continued to chat.
        "I really enjoyed myself" I smiled,hands wrapped around my frame as Josh walked me to the door,"me too" he smiles. "Goodnight I guess" I say,"sure" he leans in and pecks me before pulling away. "Night,"I blushed before ringing the doorbell as I watched Josh get into his car and leave. The door unlocking grabs my attention,Ethan pulls it open. "Hey" I say walking pass him,"who was that?" Ethan peeps outside watching Josh drive away. "My date why?" I stared at him,confused. "Nothing, just be careful" he looked so worried and I knew it was because of Drake,"it's just a date Ethan, goodnight" I peck his cheeks before heading for the stairs. I waved Mom and dad who were on the couch watching the Ethan scene, "welcome home,honey!" Mom calls out behind me as I climbed up the stairs. Once in my room,I take off my jewelries then my gown,before slipping on my nightie. I sent a quick voice note to the group chat,telling them how my date went before switching my phone off. The stress of the day quickly catching up with me and I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
         Today was Friday and I was in the print room,printing some files to hand over to my new boss. Me and the girls had plans for saturday and I couldn't just wait. "Hey there" someone calls from behind me,I turned around to face a slim,mid twenties young man. "Hi" I nod at him before reaching out to grab my print out," are you new?" He asks walking towards the printer with some papers in his grasp,I step away to let him use the printer since I was done. "Yes I started on Monday,please excuse me I have to go" I gave him a polite smile,before hurrying off to the door. Once I reached it,I turned around to see him staring at me,"it's Lizzy by the way," "Simon" he replys with a smile. "Nice to meet you Simon,hope to see you around" I murmur before walking out. The printing room was located on the 8th floor so I took the elevator up,back to my floor. You won't believe me if I told you,this was going to be the first time I'm seeing my boss since the introduction on Monday. Weird, considering I'm his PA but I'm not complaining. I skipped pass my office to his,knocking gently with my free hand as I wait for his command,"come in," his deep voice calls out and I pushed the door walking in. He was seated beside his desk with no laptop or desktop rather obstructing his handsome face. "Sir,the Anderson contract" I say walking closer to him, "did you contact his PA for the meeting?" He asks reaching his hand out for the file. "Yes sir,it's among the list of appointments I sent to your laptop for on Monday" I hand him the file. "Umm," he nods flipping through the pages,"this is a very good presentation Ms Morgan" he looks up at me with a nod of approval. "Ms Jones helped me with it but thank you sir and you can call me Lizzy,"  "what?" He furrows his brows in confusion,"I mean call me Lizzy" I murmur,"sorry Ms Morgan but I don't address my employees by their first names" he frowns at me. "Oh! sorry I...I didn't know...I didn't mean to," I stutter in shock,"excuse me" I whisper running out of there, "get me Ms Jones and lock the door on your way out" he calls out indifferently like he didn't just embarrass me. "Yes sir" I scoffed unable to stop myself before shutting the door. "Oh god! I hope he didn't pick up on my attitude,dad won't be proud if I lost my job on the first week" I groaned, walking into my office. What a jerk! All I said was call me Lizzy and his frowning at me and stating work ethics!. I rang up Olivia informing her of her needed presence. I dived back into my work to distract myself from the earlier events. I can't wait for the weekend to approach,I'm in desperate need of a full body massage. My phone vibrates,lighting up with a notification,it was a text message. I picked it up,reading, unknown number- can we meet up Lizzy I owe you closure it's Drake. "Why the fuck is he texting me?!" Lizzy- I want nothing to do with you jerk!!!. I blocked the number immediately and my heart broke all over again.  This few days had being so good,not thinking about him and now he comes and reopens closing wounds. I wiped the tears away, trying to calm down but a sob rakes through my body. I turned my chair to face away from the door, staring at the glass wall which showcased a really good view of the city. After everything he did to me why do I still love him? You don't fall out of love immediately Lizzy my subconscious reminds me. I cried and cried until I was hiccuping and not a sound could be heard.
