Fifteen

Ellie

I walked into the office the next day, heels clicking on the marble floors. I had my briefcase in hand and my head held high. I still couldn't believe that I was here. I remembered the interview process too well. Talk about awkward.

I remembered waking up at Chris's place well rested but with a knotted and queasy stomach. Chris woke up soon after me sensing my discomfort.

"Hey, you alright?" He asked

"Yeah...I'm fine." I said quietly

"You'll do great today. Just remember your strong points."

"That's not what I'm worried about." I said quietly

"You're worried about seeing him again?"

"Yeah...trust me this was my last resort."

"I know that. But you got this in the bag alright?"

"Yeah...you're right."

He kissed my cheek and shoulder.

"I know I am. You'll wow them amour. Now let's get you up and dressed alright?"

"Yeah."

I slowly stalked from the bed and walked into his bathroom. I showered, brushed my teeth, and did my hair. I put it into a twist out style and then dabbed a little perfume in different places and stepped out of the bathroom, towel cinched tightly around me. I came out to see my outfit sitting on the bed, pressed and ready to go. I even smelled food in the kitchen cooking. I got dressed quickly and met him in the kitchen.

"Well look at you, beautiful as always." He smiled

I blushed.

"Thank you."

"How long until your interview?"

"I have an hour to kill."

"Oh good, sit down, I made breakfast."

"Awh Chris, you didn't have to do this." I said quietly

"I wanted to. Now sit, eat. I cooked pancakes and bacon and sausage."

He set a steaming plate in front of me and a fork and knife.

"Eat." He murmured, kissing the side of my head

And eat I did. After I finished, I washed my plate and sat it in the drain. I went to go hug and kiss him.

"Thank you for breakfast." I said

"You're welcome. Wow them, you got this. Alright?" He said

I smiled and nodded.

"That's my girl. I'll see you later."

He kissed me one last time and sent me on my way. I remembered pulling into the parking lot a bit on edge. But I breathed through it and cut the engine, getting out of my car and walking inside with confidence. As soon as I entered the lobby I saw Leo standing there, waiting. His eyes lit up when he saw me and he smiled.

"Ah Ellie, right on time."

We shook hands.

"Hello Mr. Calavry."

"Hm, Mr. Calavry huh?" He asked amused

"Yes. Shall we get this started?" I asked politely
