I opened my eyes to a loud ringing in my ear. Six o'clock came so fast. Grabbing the alarm clock I cut it off sinking my head back into the soft pillows as I slowly drifted back to sleep.
The next time I woke up it was eight o'clock. I jumped out of bed as my heart began to race. I was late for my first day and I knew Rio was going to be mad.

I swung open the glass double doors to the bedroom to find him sitting on the couch watching television.

"I'm so sorry." I said as I frowned and bit down on my nail.

Turning the TV off he stood to his feet glancing me up and down.

"You ready?"

He wore a fitted navy blue pullover with a pair of dark denim jeans and Timberlands.

"I just have to get in the shower."

He slowly shook his head in disappointment causing me to instantly feel guilty. "I'll be in the car." He said nonchalantly while leaving the room.

Glancing around I saw two of my boxes on the floor.

I smiled to myself as I walked over to them and peered inside. He'd gone to Tania's house to pick up my things.

Pulling out a light pair of jeans that had a distressed detail to it I paired it with a beige tank and sandals.

I rushed to the bathroom and started the shower bringing the water to a comforting temperature.

Stepping into the shower I let the water trickle from the top of my head down to my feet. The water felt so good as it hit my body I almost lost track of time.

Taking a ten minute shower, I hopped out drying off and using another three minutes to lotion up. Slipping on my clothes and shoes I rushed out of the front door deciding to wear my hair wet and wavy for the day.

As I approached the car in the driveway I quickly noticed it wasn't the same from the day before.

Opening the passenger's door, I slipped into the front seat of the Benz.

"That didn't take long." I said while putting on my seat belt.

Rio took in a deep breath and began backing out of the driveway.

"I'm sorry." I apologized again noticing his annoyed demeanor.

"I thought I set yo alarm." He finally said.

"You did."

"So what the fuck happened?" He snapped.
I sunk down into the cushioned seats. He was serious and wanted an answer.

"My intentions were to rest my eyes for five minutes." I said giving him the truth.

"But it turned into two hours?" He glanced from the road at me.

I decided to stop talking because I would just be digging a bigger ditch to be buried. He pulled in front of a house turning the engine off.

"I just gotta run in here real fast." He informed me stepping from the car and closing the door behind him.

He jogged up the walk way to the front door and I watched as he disappeared into the house.

I took a glance at the clock on the radio display and noticed it was fifteen minutes after nine.

As I looked back towards the house Rio disappeared into he was walking back to the car with a black duffle.

He made a stop at the trunk before walking to the driver's door and getting back into the car.

"What was that?" I asked.
