The Clock

Chapter III

She woke up with the sound of her alarm clock, an annoying one.

- Ugh, shut up - she grumbled while turning it off.

Samantha sighed tired of all the work she had, and now she had one more day to face off.

As she got up from her be her phone began to ring, this time a song she liked, Feelings by Maroon 5, the blonde already knew who it was.

- Morning Alex - she said while walking towards the small kitchen

- Morning cutie pie, getting ready for work? - he asked.

She picked up a slice of bread placing it on the toaster.

- You know the answer - she said - Zack did a miracle though, you're not grumpy in the morning. - she observed.

Samantha took the milk from the fridge pouring it into her tall coffee mug, she added coffee to give it some flavour, she didn't like simple milk.

- I present you, my dear, the magic of a good fu... - he started.

- Alex! - she exclaimed - No pervy images in the morning please, I'm still half asleep. - she asked hearing her friend's laughter.

She grumbled and placed the mug in the microwave to heat her morning drink.

- So, what are you up to without the fact that you are grumpy again? - Alex asked.

- Making my breakfast while you're eating your boyfriend with your eyes I guess. - Sam answered.

- I'm not the one to blame of the fact that my man is hot. - Alex countered. - At least he has the whole package, even his ass is a sight to... - Sam ended the call, she would hear about it later but enough was enough, even Alex had a boyfriend and she was happy for them but deep down she was a little jealous of all the lovey dovey they had.

The toaster signalled that her toast was done, she took it out and spread butter on it taking a bite while she took her milk out of the microwave stirring a bit having a sip afterwards.

She had her breakfast in a bit of a hurry since she was running late, she finished and placed the dirty dishes on the sink, she would wash them later.

Samantha went to her room changing her clothes to a simple white shirt that showed a bit of her back, black skinny jeans and a jacket so she would look more professional.

She looked in the mirror combing her hair and then she grabbed her purse and walked out of her apartment finding Alex with an angry face.

- You turned off the call on me! - he accused as she got near him.

- I had to go dress myself. - she said casually

- You could have put me on speaker. - he said upset

- Okay, sorry darling, you were just babbling about Zack . - Samantha pointed out.

- I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings that I have a love life now. - Alex apologised ironically.

- It's not that... It's just... - she tried to explain but only failed to do it - I'm sorry, I just woke up grumpy.

- Think positive cutie pie, you'll find a hot guy and you'll talk to him and then you'll get together, marry, have kids and grow old together. - he said with a smile.

That thought made her also smile - It will take time tho, no guy will fall for me this soon - she said with a sad smile this time. - I'll wait.

Alex simply sighed at the negative thoughts of his friend, she had to be more positive.
