When I run

Lost track of time.

     I stood at my desk in a complete focused stage typing away at my keyboard finishing up a file that was due tomorrow. I tend to do that a lot as of lately, not on purpose! It's just I've lost the will to do my job at the best of my abilities. I heard a rumble in my stomach that's when it hit me I missed lunch! In fact I used up my whole day thinking about my prior mishap and doing the file I forgot to eat.
      I looked up from my desk only to realize the   place was empty . I glanced at my watch only to notice my work day ended two hours ago,( remember that thing I said about nobody knows I work there?) will this is proof. I packed my things went and clocked out to head home. I hopped into the elevator gladly because it was empty, but just as it was about to close a hand poked in and it opened back up, in walked the CEO's son. ( damn it ! I thought to myself).
       He stepped in noticing me before attempting to press the ground floor button only to see I already did. He stood a distance from me leaning his back on the walls of the elevator with his hands snaked across his chest just looking at me intensely. I felt a bit nervous and naked and not sure how to react so I look down at my watch adjusted the bag strap on my shoulder and kept looking forward thinking to myself, ( this is a long ass elevator ride.)
         My heart was pounding so much I'm pretty sure I could hear it. Why you asked? Well it's because staring ahead of me I could see my reflection as if the elevator was made of glass, so if I can see me then I can see him and he is freaking gorgeous! He stands at a easy six four about two sixty in weight and looking at his suit shows how defined his body is, and his face his face look like if Kofi Siriboe and Kelly Roland had a son he would be it.
         Eh em! He cleared his throat, ( please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, I barely got away without being fired, please don't talk to me.) "Why are you here so late on a Friday night?" He asked. I wasn't sure what to say to him so I blurted out, "Why do you ask?" While I kept my face to the doors waiting in vain for them to open. "I thought everyone left already the work day is done." He answered. "Well I guess you were wrong then." He dropped his hands from his chest and said, " Look I...." Bing! Saved by the bing! The doors opened I quickly got out and headed straight to the exit, I didn't even try to look back no matter how gorgeous he looked.
    As I was walking my phone began ringing, I stopped to dig through my purse to find it.(" Hold on I'm coming.") I spoke to the non entity and if it could respond back. I finally located it and answered the call not noticing I didn't even get a good glance at the person calling. "Hello Kori speaking." I listened for a response. " Hi sweetheart!" Oh fuck ! It's my mom. "Hi mom!How are you?" I asked as I balled my free hand in a fist and began punching air. I really didn't want to talk to her. I wasn't in the mood for the twenty one questions about how I'm feeling or if I have a boyfriend and when am I coming to visit. "I'm great hon." She replied. " When are you coming to visit." ( and here they come) I rubbed my forehead as I walked and answered her. " I'm not sure yet mommy, I'm swamped at work and used up my sick days so it's going to take some time before I'm free sorry." " oh that's ok hon. So how are for feeling lately? " I'm feeling a lot better now to be honest," I'm such a liar. " Oh good good." She replied. This is the point where I try to get off the call with her because I knew what the next question was going to be. "Mom can I call you back I'm about to finish up some......" "Kori?" "Yes mommy." I answered. " Do you have a boyfriend yet?" And there it is! The question I was trying to dodge. " Not yet mommy still too busy, but I have to go mommy I'll call you later love you bye." She tried to say something else but I wasn't having it come out her mouth. I need a drink I thought to myself so I headed to the nearest bar.
      I stopped at a local bar called Sober I smiled at the irony and walked in. I sat at the bar
     and ordered a martini. I began admiring the decor of the bar. Cherry wood counter a few couches for lounging a room for privacy, the ambiance was earthy and calm. I liked it. As I sat there peacefully drinking my third martini a guy sat beside me, I never turned to look who it was, it's not like he came for me, the thing that got my attention was his cologne, it made me feel like I wanted to press my face in his neck before I kiss it.
      "Your cologne is amazing." I said to him. Now normally I wouldn't have been able to be so bold but the martini was doing its job. "Thank you." He replied, "You're welcome." I answered not once looking to the person I was complimenting, I sat there playing with the rim of my glass smiling when he asked. "May I ask what's got you smiling so much?" "Oh it's nothing , I just thought your voice sounds like the CEO of my jobs son." "Oh? Well does he look like me also?" I chuckled as I slowly turn to look at him only to be stopped in mid sentence, "I seriously doubt thhaahhahhhttt," and there he was looking at me with a devilish smile on his face.
