****************
After hours of working. I was finally done! I put on my jacket and picked up my bag while holding my phone. I scrolled through my phone as I was walking out of my office.

I walked down the hallway saw that the lights were still on in Mr. Richards office. I peeked in to see if anyone was there, but I didn't saw any moving or living thing in the room so I decide to turn his lights off.

When I turned the lights off I felt a hand on my shoulder. And that's when my survival mode came in play. I turned around quickly and kneed the person where the sun doesn't shine. I turn on the light quickly to get a better look at the pervert who tried to kidnaped me.

When I saw it was Mr.Richards. I clamped a hand over my mouth.

"Oh my god! I am soooo sorry! I didn't mean to hit you I thought you were some serial killer or worse a pervert who would try to kidnap me" I said frantically. However, all he did was rolled around on his grey fur rug groaning in pain. I run to his mini fridge around his desk and take out an ice pack so that he can apply it to the part where I had kneed him.

I walked back to him and rest the ice pack on the coffee table and helped him up to his white leather couch where he sat in a weird position.

"What the hell was that for?!" He yelled with a grunt at the end

I picked the pack of ice and hand it to him to put on the part that got kneed. He rested it on his area where the sun doesn't shine and I sat beside him. I saw him sweat so I picked a piece tissue paper and tap the spots on his face where there were drips of sweat on his face, but he grabbed my hand and take the tissue and started wiping his face with it.

"I don't need your help" he growled lowly

"Alright, then I am no longer needed here"

"Why are you even here this late at night anyways?" He asked with a confused look.

"Well, I was just finishing off some work" I smiled weakly

He nodded his head at me and I made my way to the door. The reason why I was saying I was doing some work instead of saying some colleagues gave me work is because I don't want the other colleagues to get in trouble. As I was walking out the door I got a call from Alex.

"Hey Alex. What's up?" I asked

"I was just calling to congratulate you on your first day at your new job. So how did it went? Did everybody treated you nicely?" She asked curiously

"Yep, a lot of them are treating me nicely you don't need to worry. Guess who my boss is?" I asked her while walking out of the building.

"Who?" She asked intrigued already

"The person who interviewed me at the company's Starbucks. The handsome Mr.Richards" I said to her. She squealed in excitement for me.

"Lucky you" she said excitedly while munching on something in the background.

"Where are you?" I asked curiously

"Oh I was going to call you and ask if you would like to come to the spa with me, but I didn't know what time you were coming off from work so I just went by myself" she said sadly

"Don't worry I'll be fine. And anyways I am kind of exhausted from all that work I needed to do. Probably we can go to the spa next time or this weekend. Or we can even do girls day out" I said excitedly. While paying my fare to take the train home.

"Sounds like a deal" she said

"Okay. I can't wait!" I shouted childishly while climbing aboard on the train. I find a seat and hanged up my phone after Alex and I bided our farewells to each other.

I wonder what tomorrow holds for me. I check my phone to see its 12:10 PM. I fell asleep on the train as I was waiting for my stop minutes later I hear my stop. I got up and got off the train walking in the cold night air. I smiled at how nice it is to be alone and free.

Once I got to my apartment I walked to the elevators and pressed the button to send it down to the ground floor. The elevators opened and I got in. I can already feel myself defrosting like Olaf trying to enjoy summer. I pressed the number where my apartment is located at, when the elevator reached my floor I came out the elevator walking to my door. I searched for my keys but couldn't find them anywhere.

I run my hands through my hair getting frustrated just finding the thing. I sighed but then I saw Derek. He seem to be sleeping in the hallway which didn't really made any sense to me. Although he looked very peaceful in that position.

I bend down and shake him out of his peaceful state. He waken up with a dazed look in his eyes. When his eyes landed on me he greeted me with a lopsided grin.

"We meet again. Although I didn't quite catch your name, beautiful" he grinned at me. I blush at the word beautiful.

"My name is Destiny Rogers. It's a pleasure to meet you. However, is the buggie man under your bed or there is something for you to be outside rather than inside where it is nice and warm" I said teasingly

"No. Although if the buggie man were to ever come and get me I am sure I can take him" he said with a smirk on his face

"Oh really" I rolled my eyes playfully

"Hey, you seem like a cool person. Do you mind if I can get your number?" He  asked while scratching the back of his neck shyly while looking away.

"Sure" I smiled shyly.

"Really that's great. Oh yeah and I almost forgot here are your keys. I found them on the floor when you briskly walked out the door. I was holding them for you until you get back from work, and that's why I have been asleep outside" he said with a polite smile plastered on his face.

"Thanks" he gave me his phone and I gave him mine. We exchange numbers.

"Um...would you like to get some coffee sometime. If you feel like it. I mean you don't have to if you don't want to" he said mumbling while biting his lips nervously.

"Yeah sure. I would love to" I smiled at him and he returned it back. Making my knees go weak on me.

"I understand if you don't want to go for coffee-wait you said you would love to go get some coffee sometime!?" He asked miraculously

"Yes I would love to!" I nodded excitedly

"Awesome! I mean bye beautiful" he grinned

"Bye" I grinned back

I unlocked my door and slipped into my warm little apartment.
