Guide Me Well

8

Woke up to the sound of my alarm. Ignoring the sound, I swung my legs out from the  bed and sit up straight for a minute. I stopped the alarm and do the wake up package; yawning and streching.

I walked groggily to the bathroom and get clean to start the day. A part of me wanted a bath but it's going to take hours knowing me, I'm a sucker for that and get my hands pruned. So instead I took a hot shower and then I brushed my teeth. I cleansed my face as well and start my usual skin care routine and then my make up.

Right this is the hardest part in every morning.. Picking the 'outfit of the day' and I spent more than half an hour until finally and I mean finally got a decent look for today.

Once I am finished, I head out and made a note to myself to stop by a café to grab breakfast and then to the office just in case there's something going on and Lydia didn't tell me.

I parked at my usual spot and jogged to the front door. I replied their 'hellos' and 'good mornings' as I walked towards my office. Surprisingly, Lydia was not here yet to greet me. I wonder where she goes..

I turned my heels to asked Poppy, that worked behind a huge big circle of a desk.

"Morning Pop." I greeted happily. I was wondering, where is Lydia? I hadn't heard of her laughter since I stepped in." I joked at the last part.

"Well, she probably slept in." She came close to me so she could whisper. "I heard she had a date lastnight." She said in a hushed tone.

I leaned back with a shocked face. Lydia went to a date?! That's a big news!

"Are you kidding me?" I asked in disbelief. Before she could reply back, shoutings were heard.

"I'm here! I'm on time! I'm not late right?!" She asked random person that walked past by her. Her shirt are not tucked in and her hair was in a messy ponytail.

She saw me from across the room and then her eyes went wide. I leaned onto my other leg and crossed my arm looking like mad boss. I wasn't anyway but I wanted to see her reaction.

She slowly walked straight to me with her head hung low probably she was sorry. I had to speak first before she ramble why she was late.

"So, did you use protection?" I puckered my lip and raised my eyebrow after. She went eye wide again obviously shocked at my words.

"I-I..... Uh.. I- yes?" She stuttered. I heard Poppy giggled beside me, amused at how she was not confident and scared but somehow managed to answer me. "Look,I'm sorry Cass. I slept in. I woke up and I only brushed my teeth."

I cut the crap and laughed at her. "So you didn't shower after your sex lastnight?" I joked and Poppy joined in and laughed out loud. Lydia smiled shyly and looked down. "Don't worry Lydia. It's alright. It's not that always you had a date, right?" I calmed her.

Poppy then decided to ask. "So, was it good?" I laughed at her question and I had to bend down. Lydia only smiled shyly probably still on her "date" memories.

"Oh for god's sake you guys.."
