The Move

Chapter 6

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm going off.

I lay in bed for a little bit. I hadn't slept well, couldn't stop thinking about the kiss.

And the ones that followed.

After he kissed me on the beach, he took me out for ice cream.

And when he dropped me off, he kissed me again in front of my apartment door.

Definitely a night to remember.

I got out of bed and decided to get ready, to hopefully get my mind off it.

I didn't have anything for breakfast so I had about 10 minutes extra to get ready, and make myself look extra decent.

I filled in my eyebrows, and applied about 3 layers of mascara, and some eyeliner. I put light brown eye shadow on my eyelids, and red lipstick on my lips, with my normal amount of foundation.

My hair was in loose curls, flowing down my back. Actually quite proud of it, I flung it on my shoulders, and tossed it back a few times.

I slipped into a black dress that fell just below my knees. And a pair of white sandals.

I look at myself one more time in the mirror hanging on my door, smile to myself and walk out of my room.

I grab my purse and head outside to my car. Right as I put my seat belt on, my phone is ringing.

I attach it to my car speakers, and answer with a bubbly hello.

"hello gorgeous." Stephen's voice rings through my car.

"hello." I smile.

"sleep well?" He asked.

"alright, you?" I said, starting the car and heading to work.

"eh. Got a lot on my mind."

"like what?" I ask concerned.

"you." Just that one word made me blush and melt at the same time. It just came out so smoothly and made me so happy.

"you driving to work?" He asked, bringing me back to reality."yes, I am." I said, thankful he wasn't there to see me 10 shades of red. "aren't you supposed to be working already?"

"I have today off." He said.

"oh that's right, you did say that last night." I said remembering.

"yea. What times your lunch break?"

"uh I actually don't know.. I'm in training again today...."

"shoot me a text if you get a chance, yea?"

"I will."

We talk a little more, until I am pulling into the employee parking for work.

"you at work yet?" He asked.

"just pulled in." I said, sighing.

"alright, I'll let you go. Don't be late." He said.

"I'm here 5 minutes early just so I won't be." I smile.

"good girl." He says, laughing.

I smile to myself. "I'll text ya when I can, enjoy your day off."

"alright, let me know if you get a chance, we can go out for lunch or something."

"will do!" Moment of silence. "bye Stephen."

"bye Jesslynn." He says.

Him saying my name makes the chills appear again.

He hangs up moments later, and I walk inside the back way, leading me into the break room.
