Lauren's POV

The only thing i did was shift on my bed and the next thing i know is that my face is flat against the hard floor.
"wow that's a great thing to do to start the day lauren" i groaned to myself and stood up to start my breakfast before going to work

"Babe? Was that you-?" i heard someone speak with a fancy accent. I turned around and saw a blonde girl sitting on my bed with a slight smirk on her face

"Oh hey uhh-" i gave her a fake smile which she reciprocated to a real one
"You don't remember don't you?" She asked me after she saw the confusion on my face a few seconds ago

"Uhh joanna?" I gave her a fake smile again while i try my best to guess her name on two reasons 1) i have no idea who she is and how the fuck she ended up on my bed on a tuesday and 2) i have a fucking headache that i should take care of.

"It's Jessica.." She said with a sound of disappointment because i didn't even remembered her name. She shifted uncomfortably on my bed and decided to stand up and put her clothes on and not bothering to say a word to me after that.

"So hey, listen jessica.. i have to get to work so i need you to go now" i explained not even bothering that i may hurt her feelings on what i've just said.

"I know this is a one time thing but i'll leave my number so if you decided to change your mind, you can hit me up" she winked and walked up to me and handed me a small table napkin with her number on it

"Yeah yeah sure. Let me walk you out" i told her and walked her out to the door and apologizing again for kicking her out first thing in the morning (i'm really not sorry though) i mean sure she's a pretty blonde, blue eyes, good figure with a fancy accent but that still don't mean i'll settle for that. I could always find a girl way much better than her.

I walked back into my kitchen to cook for my breakfast and start my tuesday right.

FRIDAY MORNING

I heard my phone started ringing from my nightstand and i groaned but answered it right away to catch whoever was calling.

"JAUREGUI!" I heard my boss scream out my last name over the phone

"Did you get the floor plan done for the renovation?!" He asked me right away

"Yes, Mr. Heinrich" i replied calmly

"Good. Now get you ass over here because the meeting will start in 40" he said before ending the call.

"Oh well there goes my breakfast" i thought to myself and ran down the hallway to the bathroom to get myself started for the day.

------------------------

I ran outside and opened my car door. It's a Black Camaro my dad gave me as a birthday gift when i turned 21. Consider that i am the eldest one i should have all the great mature things there is. Money isn't always a problem on our family because of my parent's work, we actually lived a good life on everything and not worrying too much.

As i went inside i quickly made my way to Epitoría. It's the top Architectural firms in the world and i've been working for them since i finished college two years ago and right now i've been aiming for a promotion or maybe a good raise on my paycheck.

I arrived at Epitoría at a unbelievable time consider that there are always too much traffic in New York. I checked my phone and thanked God because i still have 10 minutes to get settled before i go to the meeting and they'll decide my fate on this company.

-------------------------

The meeting went well and the floor plan that i did was a hit, the buyers were very pleased on the work that i've done and said that i got what they wanted on their new house. Then they demanded that i should be more recognized on the company and on the whole architectural firms.
Of course my boss would comply to that because he didn't deny a client's request ever so he did a little raise and promoted me to one of the best architect inside the New York branch.

---------------------

I walked through my desk and saw my co-workers/ my friends walking up to me

"LAUREN! CONGRATS" Ally Hernandez came up and hugged me telling me that i deserved the promotion and that the client was right that i was one of the best in this building.I hugged her again and thanked her for all the things that she said and hugged my friend, Normani next.

"So you got a promotion.. how about we celebrate tonight?!" Normani blurted out that caused Ally and our other co-worker Travis to cheer telling me that we should go out

"Uhh i don't know guys.." i said lightly, i wasn't really in the mood to party and drink tonight but there's something that's telling me that i should go and have fun tonight. "hey Atleast now you have a reason to go back to the club and not just drink your ass off" i thought to myself and remembered every night that i'd go to every single club here in New York when i feel like drinking and probably getting it on with a complete stranger that i won't have an idea who they are the next day. Just like what happened earlier this morning back in my flat when that blonde girl was devastated that i didn't remember her. I wonder what i'm like when i'm fucking drunk that made girls come home with me because to be completely honest, i don't really remember anything from the previous nights that i'm in the club.

"Yeah come on lauren besides it's friday night" Travis grinned and packed all my things for me

What could possibly go wrong?
