Women on top

3. Approved

The beep of my alarm went off for the third time, I removed the covers from my body, pushed the botton and stretch my body on my way to the shower. I put my clothes on, ate some cereal and did my make up before taking a cab to the office. I had to sell my car back in New Jersey and I was planning to spend my savings in a new vehicle, but so far I was enjoying my walk.

I went straight to my office greeting every one in my way there. I sat down and reviewed my slides for what seemed the thousandth time this morning, I smoothed my gray skirt and purple blouse, checked my makeup and waited for Dave to take me to the meeting room.

- Are you ok? you look like  you've seen a ghost - he said when I approached him in the hall way 

- Thanks, you look handsome this morning too - I said sarcastically.

- I'm sorry, let's do it again.- he went back a few steps and came back again - Good morning, beautiful

I couldn't help but smile at him, he offered me his arm and guided me to the last floor again, walked me through the doors and helped me set everything for my presentation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that way we could optimize our production and assembling lines ensuring better results and more competitivity in the american market. - I said concluding my presentation and looking straight to Mr. Evans and the rest of the executives waiting for an approval. The room stayed quiet, all this people looking back and forth and skipping pages of the report I gave them at the beggining, I looked for Dave's face and found him looking at me giving a small reassuring smile. Then Mr. Evans opened his mouth.

- Excellent presentation, Ms Jhonson, Ladies and Gentlemen if you all agree I would like to the see a previous test and then proceed to give Ms Jhonson the project leadership. - he said with a smile looking at his colleagues, they all nod and made small remarks of the benefits of this project and they even gave me a small applause for my achievement, I was slowly dying of happiness. The meeting was dismissed, and it was suddenly time for lunch I have spent 3 hours discussing the details of the project to the headboard and didn't even notice time flew by.

I was again walking in the cafeteria when Dave nudged my elbow and winked at me

-Hi- I said looking for a table

- You did a great job there, you keep impressing me - he said looking straight into my eyes, I think I wet my panties, his eyes went a little bit darker as he slowly lowered his gaze to my cleavage, I shifted and sitted straight.

- Thanks, I worked my butt out to come with that presentation today - I said starting to eat my lunch and avoiding his intense stare.

- I'm not surprised, tell me do you have any flaws? - He asked laying back on his seat, he crossed his arms and looked back in my eyes.

- I'm far from perfect. - I said not understanding at all what he meant with his question, there was sometime about him, I liked him, but there was something not to trust about him. Maybe it was his cocky attitude that made my subconscious be aware of what he could intend with me.

- What you doing friday night? - he asked again showing me his white perfet teeth, I was a little intimadated of letting him down, but I already made plans with Luke to interview possible roommates.

- I'm busy, sorry - I putted my empty styrofoam container in a trash can and walked back to my office.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was finally 5:00 p.m on friday afternoon, I took my purse and cell phone and rushed to my apartment, I met Luke at the lobby and guided him to my loft. He glanced around to the creamy walls and wooden floors, then shifted to the window and stared at the impressive view of the empire state from the living room balcony

- hmm, nice place - he said as I joined him in the balcony - I doubt you live here, are you sure you didn't rent this for the day so you could have a place to hide my death body? - he turned around to look at me and then laughed loudly, really loudly at my horrified expression.

- That's not funny, and I can barely afford this place on my own, so I hope you're judgmental when it comes to finding roommates. - I said back to his terrible joke, but ended up laughing with him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Ok, let's check, we let down the creep with the bald cat, the redhead cause she was too punk, the blonde because she was too prudish, the old lady with the fur coat cause she seemed to cougar-ish, whatever that means, the guy with the floral shirt and cool flip flops, and you just hope God will send you the perfect roommate. - Luke said as he scratched another name from the list.

- Why is people in New York so weird, I mean I'm weird but those 5 people were weirder than me and that's saying a lot considering my weirdness. - I said laying on the couch and eating the last pringle can left on the coffee table.

- I know, and trust me there's even more weirdos looking for roommates, I'm still in a trashy dorm room at school, I need a sober roommate and all I've found so far is a porn addict, a pot addict, a girl with braces an a huge trombone, she played it for me and she even wrote me a song. - He said sitting on the couch and lifting my head and resting it into his lap.

- Aww, I'll gladly accept you Lukie luke,  you didn't have to make all that shit up, you just had to ask - I said with a pout and pinching his cheeks.

- not this Lukie luke shit again, you need to stop that or you'll never get me to move in with you.

- So it's settled then, when will you move your artsy ass? - I asked him with my mouth full of chips.

- You are so disgusting, I love you. - He said and squeezed me so hard, he ways like a child sometimes, with a terrible and gory sense of humor, but lovely anyway. In the middle of our hug, the bell rang and the door flew open.

- Uhm, hi - A British girl said standing awkwardly by the door, of course she was uncomfortable, we were tightly hugging all sprawled on the couch. I gently let go and sat down next to Luke.

- Heey, come in you girl - Luke said in a terrible black girl impression, the girl narrowed her eyebrows and sat in a bar stool in front of us.

- I'm sorry for his horrible jokes, I would say he is usually normal,  but he isn't. - Heey , he interrupted- Shut up, I'm speaking - I snapped back.

- I'm Evangeline, you can call me Eve, though. - she smiled sweetly while Luke wrote on one of those clip things he brought for the interviews.

- I'm Ray, and this is Lukie Luke - He groaned and glared at me. - I mean Luke. What do you do for a living Eve?

- I just came from England, I was in culinary school and my aunt owns a restaurant here so she offered me a job.- she said and Luke inmediatly hightlited british on his clip thing. I rolled my eyes at him. and continued intervewing Eve.

- Do you play loud instruments, own weird pets or wear flip flops and floral shirst on a dalily basis?- Luke asked the poor girl, he's being trying to interrogate her militar style, he is missing the lie detector.

- No, no, and definitely no.- She answered pretty amused by Luke's intervention, I felt so embarrased. Why did I called him back? WHY? And then it happened, he kneeled in fronto of her and begged her to live with us.

- Please, pleaaaase- He said hugging her legs, while she struggled to stand up.

- Ok, Luke come on man, you're embarrasing yourself- I said draggin him from Eve's Legs. - I think, you're great, would you consider dealing with his weirdness and my bossiness, and living with us? - I asked and pulled off my best puppy look.

- Pleaase, Eve, pleassee, Don't let me live her alone with this bitch, please - Luke throwed himself back to Eve's leg. I couldn't help it I burst out in laughter and so did Eve.
