The Move

Chapter 5

"good morning, gorgeous." Stephen says on the phone.

"morning." I say half awake.

"how'd you sleep?" He asked.

"pretty good." I say siting up. "you?"

"alright." He says.

I get out of bed and walk into the kitchen.

"you start training today right?" He asks.

"yes i do." I say pouring myself some cereal.

"you nervous?"

"eh not really."

"that's good."

"mmhm. Whatcha doin?"

"driving to work. How about you?"

"eating cereal."

"oh okay, well I'm almost there so I'm gonna let you get ready. Have a good day, text me later maybe we can see a movie tonight or eat dinner on the beach or something."

"sounds good. Okay. I'll talk to you later. Have a good day, Stephen."

"you too, Jesslynn. Bye pretty girl." I love when he says my name.

I blush, "bye Stephen."

"bye Jesslynn."

After a few seconds of silence, we hang up nearly at the same time.

I play my music and finish my cereal as I scroll through twitter.

When I'm done eating, I clean up and go into my room to get ready.

...

After stopping for a coffee to pass some time, I still end up getting to work about 15 minutes early.

I walk inside anyway, with a coffee for me, Sarah, and Riley.

Sarah is sitting at the front desk on her phone, "good morning!" She smiles looking up at me.

"morning, you like coffee right?" I smile.

"oh my goodness. Yes I do. I was going to stop by before work, but left my house a little too late." She says.

"well here ya go." I smile and hand her the red thermo. "you are the best, how much do I owe you?"

"nothin." I smile, and walk down the hallway to the backroom.

"well good morning." Ben smiles.

"morning." I say.

"you look really pretty today." He smiles, and gives me a hug.

I'm wearing a simple navy blue dress with white heels. My hair is straight and I have pearl earings in my ears along with a pearl necklace around my neck.

"thank you!" I smile.

"any time, pretty girl."

Hearing that reminds me of Stephen, and I instantly smile.

"you helping me out again today?" He asks.

"actually, I start my training today." I say taking a seat at a little table.

He sits across from me. "well that's too bad. It was fun having you in there the other day."

"it was." I smile.

Something about him kinda creeps me out. I mean he is really sweet and cute but I don't know. Something about him.

"we still on for tomorrow night?" He asks.
