I am not a morning person, not by a long shot.
I didn't think mornings should begin before 11am frankly. So as I dragged myself out of bed at 6am I was not amused, it took me 2 hrs to get ready for work and I still wasn't fully awake. It just wasn't my day.
Not even my morning playlist could help. I made a quick stop at my favorite coffee place & grabbed a French Vanilla flavored java but alas not even that lifted my mood. Ugh, I was dreading my day already.
It was weird, I kept thinking about Marcus all night. I figured I may be losing my touch because usually guys flock, not flee.
Especially having reached as far as my living room. Hell, any room with a locked door should've been good enough. I really wished I could see him again, I didn't even know why. Its not as if we had even touched so I was missing something specifically, I just hoped to see him again because I would not waste that encounter at all.
As my assistant Sharise took me my day's itinerary and announced my first client my only thought was, why do dreams come through. Damn.

"Marcus Harris, Lila Daniels, Marketing exec."
"Thanks Sharise."
We looked each other over in a weirdly comfortable silence. He was wearing a grey suit that looked tailor made for his body specifically. It wasn't tight, but fit just right. He was much more refined than last night, the blue shirt he wore inside had me mentally drooling and I couldn't help but undress him with my eyes. How could one man look so scrumptious in a suit! I was baffled honestly, and that was just his clothes. His caramel eyes much more visible in the daylight. And a face fit to be a model.
When did I turn off the air conditioning.
I was rudely interrupted by him clearing his throat.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry, I just zoned out. Happens quite often actually."
When did I start rambling. I mentally slapped myself to get myself together. I, Lila Allison Daniels NEVER drooled over a man.
"Let's get down to business shall we."
I soon learned that Marc- Mr. Harris was the owner of a successful shoe store but was in the process of opening another and needed new marketing strategies and such. He was also the freelance graphic designer at a firm we often did business with. I had no qualms about accepting his account...
Until the meeting was over and he asked me out.
"So when are you going to let me treat you like the queen you are and take you out?"
I was as real as they came, if I do say so myself, and I never lead anybody on.
"Never actually."
"Wow, easy let down, huh."
"I won't waste your time, for one, you are now my client, business and pleasure I don't mix. And for two, I don't date. I can buy myself a meal or whatever. Men always tryna feed a female, why. Do I look like I'm in need of a free meal? Nope. Here's some advice, on the house. If you want to have sex say so and don't beat around the bush."
"Well just for clarification, I never said I'd take you for a meal. I said I would've loved to take you out. Never said where. As for sex, that's the last thing on my mind but thanks for the advice."
Then he walked out without a backward glance.
And what did I do, at 10am, in my office? I screamed.
