Ellie

"So, I see you have a certain glow to yourself." Brandi beamed at me

I smiled back quietly and looked down.

"Mhm, I bet Chris be wearin dat ass out!" Brandi teased

I tried to suppress it to no avail. We were outside of a restaurant in the late Spring sun, taking it all in. After yet another wedding meeting, we were out for a couple of drinks and shopping.

"Can you keep it down?" I smirked, a little embarrassed.

"So how is he Ellie?" Amber asked excitedly

"He's great. Very sweet and nice. He's caring and funny."

They both shared a knowing look.

"Some one's in love." They chorused squealing

"I am not guys, cut it out." I murmured embarrassed.

"Well there has to be something there. You two are going to be together a year next week. How does that make you feel?"

Scared.

"I'm uh....I'm surprised honestly. I never had a year long relationship before." I said quietly to myself

Besides Gary...but we had been friends the first two and a half years, only dated for six months.

"Well there is a first time for everything." She smiled

"Yeah."

"So do you know what you guys are doing for your anniversary?"

"Not a clue." I said sheepishly

"I bet he takes her to this nice restaurant and everything."

"Yeah, knowing her boss gave her the weekend off and everything."

"Well he hasn't told me anything....so I guess we'll see."

My phone pinged in my purse and I grabbed it, seeing a text from my boss.

"I need you to come in tomorrow alright?" The text asked

"Sure Mr. Calavry."

Now I know what you're thinking, why the hell am I working for Leo now? Well actually I wasn't working just for him, I was underneath Caine. The other job prospects didn't work out. And trust me, this was my last actual resort, but with no other options....this was all that I had. Even if I had built the practice up, I had quit, and now I was just a simple associate. It kind of stung when I saw my name no longer hanging above the door way. But it is what it is, and it was time that I made the best of it.

"Is that Chris?"

"No, Mr Calavry. He want's me to come in tomorrow." I said annoyed

"I can't believe you have to work for him."

"Well what choice do I have? No one else would hire me."

"Well....you have a point."

"Yeah. And I mean, the money's good, I'm getting the same salary that I was when I was a partner....so everything's fine."

"And how does Chris feel about this?"

"Well he didn't like it at first, which is something to be understood. But eventually he understood."

"Yeah. You let me know if I need to straighten Leo out too. I'll clean his clock." Amber smirked

I laughed.
