INDULGENCE

+CHAPTER TWO+

Dumb Af!!!

I opened the little fence gate that led to my
apartment feeling giddy.....I was aware whatever just happened shouldn't be counted but I felt like I held some type of importance to her.

The stupid smile didn't wipe away from my face.
It was a Friday night that I should have spent binging my favorite series but I was out there waiting......
The thought fueled anger within me but later guilt took over as my date had apologized and promised to make it up to me.

I entered the familiar space which felt like home to me more than anything.....the scent of home welcomed me and I couldn't help but feel warm.

Having to still go to work tomorrow  I had to prepare myself. I work at a Law firm and yes it earns me more than enough to live.

The firm doesn't necessarily require my presence on weekends but we just received a very crucial case that needed a lot more attention than normal. I didn't inform Raven but I was also sure that she could not show up early on a Saturday.

Not having the appetite for dinner anymore I skipped it and headed straight for my bedroom removing Raven's coat which still smelled heavily like her in the process.

I changed out of the red dress and threw it in the laundry hamper....
I had grown to love my little cute lifestyle until Raven came but she managed to spice things up a bit.

I showered and changed into my pyjamas the silkiness of the fabric soothed my skin.....I fell on my bed with a thud and before I could do too much, sleep overtook me as I was already tired from the day's endeavours.....

NEXT MORNING.

I woke not feeling exactly well rested....I mean who ever does?

I was very proud to call myself a morning person when I checked the time and it was only 5:35.
I had to make it to the firm before 7:00am and I knew what it entailed to be a Lawyer and I had quite the qualities to match up

My legs dangled at the edge of the bed for a bit at that my phone tinged indicating the receipt of a new message...
I picked the device and scrolled through the message.
I had lots from different people but only one caught my attention.

[5:30] Rav: Morning!!I know you should be
            awake by now.
            I'm sorry for last night and I hope our
            plans are still on uh?

This warmed my heart and worried me at the same time. It warmed my heart because she went as far as this!
Trust me Raven is definitely not a morning person....she has the grumpiest of reactions in the morning but she managed to get this to me at the break of dawn.

I thought a while before typing back a message....

[5:38] Me: Good morning. You're right and I
                        need some company too😂
                        Yes of course our plans are still on
                         ma'am. I'll just be at work for a bit
                       
My heart thumped with how fast she read it and she started to type in a reply as the three dot bubbles popped up and the message came in

[5:39] Rav: I'm not keeping you company it's
                        way too early.
                         Let's say what time will you be
                         ready?

[6:00] Me: I'm hurt!!
                       Is 5:00pm good?

[6:00] Rav : Yes it's good!
                          I'm going to go back to bed now.

[6:01] Me: Good Miss sleeps alot
                        I'll see you!

[ 6:01] Rav: Yh you too byeeee!!

I felt fuzzy and all inside....the smile on my lips widened at the thought of us ever being real with the love and everything.

Yh sure *note sarcasm*

Hush let a girl dream!

I managed to get ready with all the fuzzy thoughts in my mind by the time I was done it was 6:28 and since it was a saturday I decided to dress casual.

I slipped in a pink long-sleeve turtle neck dress and pulled a black blazer over it with matching heels, I let my shiny black hair down and puffed it giving it a nice parting. I only added a little make up since I was still going to put it later for my plans with Raven.

The thought of Raven swerved my attention away from what I was doing and my stomach did happy flips. This is getting dangerous!

...I checked my fit in the mirror while giving myself a crooked smile. I was well aware of my beauty, I had admirers here and there and my IG dm was creepier than a serial killer's basement but do I doubt myself sometimes?
Yessss!!!!!

I mean try staying with Raven and I'm sure you'll know what's up.

I managed to drag myself out of my apartment taking all I needed in the process.....I unlocked the matte black Mercedes on my porch. It's mine by the way!

I got it when I got a year's pay at the firm then I felt like I achieved it all. It feels absolutely blissful to work,earn and spend on yourself it just gives off a different vibe.

I opened the fence gate and drove the car out gently....I hopped out again to lock the gate again and drove off to the firm with hopes of being able to finish work early and be with Raven.

Shut up girl!
