Chapter 2

  As soon as the clock strikes two, I am told that my shift is over and I can go home. Today was a pretty good day at work even though I didn't do much. I tried to help Mr.Carter with his design but he said he could do it on his own. Instead he sent me to help Clover over at the beauty section of the studio. I have to say that Clover might be one of the only friends I have made since moving here. Although she is that kind of person to gossip a lot, she's very understanding and genuinely cares about others. She told me about her boyfriend and how he asked her to move in together. Apparently they have only been dating for a few months and she thinks that he might be the one. I think it's a bit naive for her to be moving so quickly, but that's none of my business.

  I have been thinking about Harry all day. I just can't believe that I met a celebrity today and I might be seeing him tomorrow. I'm trying not to keep my hopes up too much in case he doesn't show. I haven't told anybody about it since I know it might not happen. I could've told Clover that I met him, but I have no proof and I'm not very convincing. I don't know much about Harry. I know he's famous for being a heartthrob with the ladies and for the music he makes. I decided not to look him up online so I wouldn't get a false impression of him. I just hope he wasn't trying to screw me over.

  I really want to focus on my life right now and not worry about things like relationships or my social life. I have enough on my plate trying to make it by. I'm not sure exactly how much my job pays yet which is something I really need to know. So far I'm liking it though. Today I helped Clover do a customer's makeup and hair. I'm used to doing things related to clothing more often but I like to do some beauty here and there. I was told that tomorrow I could help another stylist design a custom gown since Mr.Carter will still be busy. I have to admit that I would rather be working with the man that gave me the job rather than some stranger, but for now I'll take whatever I can get. 

  I head home and stop for some food since I didn't have any lunch. I was invited to lunch by some other co-workers earlier but I thought I should stay and continue helping Clover. Now my stomach is growling nonstop and it's getting annoying. I decide to stop at a Panera and get myself a salad. I have never been there before, but I saw a few commercials that caught my eye yesterday. I feel like I watch way too much TV but there's honestly nothing else to do at my apartment. I get my salad to go and finally drive home for the day.

  Once I open my front door I immediately hear paws running on the hard wood floors. As I close the door I feel Spice jump on my legs from behind. I can't help but smile at her because she's so adorable. I now know that getting her was a great thing for me. I no longer will feel alone in this seemingly empty apartment.  I sit down to eat as she watches me from the floor. Her brown eyes gaze at each of my movements as if I was entertaining her. I finish my salad and go straight to my couch. My couch seems to be one of the places where I spend most of my time.

After a few hours of TV I start to get really bored. All the good shows and movies seem to have run out. I look over and see Spice sleeping on the seat next to me. I start to pet her and she wakes up.

"Aww. I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep" I say in a soft voice. Since she's so little I feel like she needs as much sleep as she can get in order to grow.

  Once I realize that I just talked to my pet I feel surprised. I never usually do that because I never really had the time to just chill before. I like just sitting here, but hate it at the same time because it gets so boring after a while. I'm not sure what I should do next. It's still early to be going to sleep and I can never take naps during the day. I walk to my fridge to get some snacks and notice that I'm running low on food. I should go buy some groceries.

  Since there is nothing better to do I go to the nearest grocery store and shop around. I buy some fruit and random snacks that look healthy. Lately I've been trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle because there's so many benefits that come from it. Ultimately, I know that my attempts won't last long and I'll end up going back to junk food. As I continue shopping I decide to go slower so that I can kill some time. I'm almost at the end of an aisle when I hear footsteps behind me.
