Primrose

Chapter 4

" Alright alright I'm up!!" I whine as I open my eyes, turning to my bedside and switching off my alarm that is now ringing for the third time in 15 minutes. As much as I want to hit snooze again I don't because I know  I'm going to have big regrets later if I do.

I roll over and get my feet tangled in the sheets. "Ugh" I groan as I land on my stomach on the tiled floor, I mean already my day is starting on a shitty note whereas all I'm trying to do is be a productive girlie. I get to my bathroom, wash my face, brush my teeth and freshen up.

I change into my work out set, black leggings, black Nike sports bra, black NB sneakers and a grey cropped sweater. I get to the kitchen to make my milkshake and drink my vitamins, the time is currently 6:20 am and I want to be out of the house by 6: 45am.

I finish packing my gym bag and drinking my milkshake, getting ready to leave. Donut is still sleeping lucky her, she's usually up by 7:30 and then has her breakfast at 8 am. I walk to the elevator and I wait for it to get to me, " You're starting your day on a good note" I hear from behind me and I turn to see Eric.

He's wearing his work uniform, black jeans, black boots and a black golf t-shirt with a gold logo, he looks cute. " If only you knew that I'm trying so hard to not run back to my bed" I respond with a laugh. The elevator opens and we walk in, " Trust me I know the feeling, it was hard for me too when I was trying to build the habit but now it's second nature to me. I work out twice a day for an hour each time" he tells me with a smile

" I'm sorry did you say twice?! " I ask him because God knows that could never be me, I mean I'm already struggling with going to the gym once and he's over here talking about twice! Like how does one get to that point? The level of self discipline required must be insane and I'm still at average.

" Yea twice, it's actually not bad at all once you get used to it" he responds with a laughter. We get to the ground floor and we walk out together towards the exit. " By the way do you have any plans for tonight?" He asks me as we standing outside of the building.

" No I don't have any plans at the moment, what's up?" I ask him. As we standing Daniel and Victor walk towards the building dressed in formal, Daniel is wearing 3 piece suit and Victor is wearing a black suit also 3 piece.

" Hey guys" Daniel greets us with a big smile, he's clearly a morning person. Victor just looks at us and nods, I'm guessing that's his greeting. " Hey Dan, how are you guys doing?" Eric responds with a smile while I just wave at them.

" All good bro, off to the gym Rosie? Good girl!" Daniel says with a smile. After some time they walk into the building and I turn to Eric, " I'm asking because I am going out later with some friends to go have dinner at Tasha's and I'd like for you to join us, you know to meet new people" he responds.

" I appreciate the invite and I'd like to come but I have to warn you I can get shy around new people so it takes me a minute for me to get comfortable " I tell him. The thought of going out and meeting new people sounds both exciting and nerve wrecking, but I promised myself to step out of my comfort zone more so I am definitely going out.

" Hey that's totally okay, just be yourself and take your time. We'll meet up at the restaurant at 7 pm so I'll come and get you around 6:30 ish. Is that okay?". We agree on the time and then we separate, I finally get to the gym and there are very few people here.

After my workout I head straight home, I get there around 8:15, feed Donut and then take a shower. I quickly get ready because I have a little breakfast date with Amelia which I'm very much excited for, like I can't believe this is me a little social butterfly.

I choose to wear a cute light blue floral dress, white wedges and white shoulder bag. I get there after driving 10 minutes, we're at this place called Expresso and I'm loving it. Everything sold here is literally R12, nothing less and nothing more.
