          ‘D-R-I-I-I-I-I-I-N-G!!!’ My alarm clock rang. I turned around; Antonio was really stubborn he came to sleep in my bed again. I shook him. “Antonio, wake up! We have to go to work today! Get up!” He groaned, “What’s wrong, why are you waking me up so early?”

“Early? It’s bloody six thirty in the morning and we have to go to work!”

“Precisely, six thirty is early...” he answered pulling the covers over his face. I shrugged, how stubborn can anyone get? I pulled him out of the bed. God, he was heavy! “What time do you start work” I asked him as we got into the bathroom,

“Eight thirty.”

“You see? I told you to get up, there is only one shower, there are two of us and we both need to catch the tube to go to work!” I started brushing my teeth.

“What if we both use the shower together, it will be faster...” he said wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his head in my neck. I spat, “What are you thinking? That I’m just some damn whore?” He laughed.

“I was scared you’ll accept; I see I have a respectable woman at my side!” I rinsed my mouth.

“Out!” I told him. He reluctantly left the bathroom. I locked the door behind him. I showered quickly and left the bathroom. “I’ve finished! You can use the bathroom now!” I shouted.

“Boo!” I jumped; it was Antonio in nothing but his underwear. He really wanted to do everything to get me to want him more. “Go and have a shower, we’re going to be late! If you continue like this I’m going to go without you...”

“Really?” he pouted, “I must hurry then!”

“Yes you must!” I walked into my closet and my outfit was already laid out on the armchair. I was wearing:

I tied my hair into a ponytail with a corn row braid in it. I went to the kitchen and poured myself some Special-K into a bowl. I grabbed some milk from the fridge and poured it on the cereal. Señor came into the room and looked around. “No more breakfast?”

“No, mama here is tired and nearly late for work so you will make do with cereal.” He opened the cupboard. “Special-K? Seriously? Is that all you have?”

“Yeah, I’m a woman, women eat Special-K; you can stop by at Sainsbury’s when you come home and buy yourself some cereal... How about that?”

“Okay...” He sat down and ate some dry cereal. “Are you ready?” he questioned when I put my bowl in the dishwasher. “Yeah let’s go; let me take my phone first.” I unplugged by phone and put it in my bag. “Did you take a picture of your outfit?” he asked me as we got out of the flat.

“Yeah, I never forget, it’s my job you know!” We drove to the tube station both in our separate cars. We parked and I stuck my badge to the windscreen or they would clamp my car. I wasn’t ready to pay £80 of towing fees! “I have to pay the day parking spot” Antonio said walking to the ticket machine. He paid and stuck the ticket to his windscreen. “Do you have your Oyster card?” I asked him. He checked in his pocket and took it out; “Yeah I have, you scared me! I thought I had forgotten it on the kitchen table!” We walked in scanned our cards and took the Jubilee to Waterloo where we had to change. I took the Northern line to Leicester Square and Antonio took the Bakerloo line to Piccadilly Circus. Antonio was the type of guy that loved kissing hid girlfriend in the train. I was against that since I had never liked the sight of couples in a hot snogging session in front of me. If it was to say good-bye, no problem, so as we got down at Waterloo he gave me one hot kiss before taking the escalator down to catch his train. “See you at lunch!” he shouted, I waved back he was gone. I made my way to my platform. ‘Mind the gap! Mind the gap! The train is approaching!’ the voice in the speakers shouted as the train approached.
