Morning.

The sunshine shone through the curtains and into the bedroom. Selena was still asleep, dreaming about her favorite person in the world, Nick. In case you haven't noticed, Selena is madly in love with him. She has a weird way of showing it though.

Ding Dong.

Her apartment buzzer rang. She groaned and peeked at the clock through her blurry eyes.

| 7:15 |

Selena sprung up out of her bed and on to her feet. Seven was the time Nick was picking her up. Her alarm clock did not wake her. She groaned and slapped the stupid clock, aggravated by the darn thing.

She grabbed her glasses and put the pair on over her brown eyes. Selena then slips on her bed slippers and robe and runs to the door. She opened it. "Morning Gomez." He said then looking at his watch. "Let's go, time's wasting." He said then looked up at the undressed woman. "You're not dressed..." He said then trailing off. She sighed, and at herself. "I'll change quick." She pleaded. "Okay." He said smiling.

She smiled back. "Come in." She said opening her door wider. He entered and taking a seat at the small island. She closed the door and made her way over to her boss. "Coffee?" She asked. "We'll just grab some on the way." He said looking around the small apartment.

It had a nice decor. Cute throw pillows on the sofa. A flat screen television on a stand in front. He looked around in the small kitchen. It had a stove, an oven, and all the basics stuffed into that small room. It was cute.

He wondered around his employer's apartment, observing her living style. There were clean dishes, which meant that she was a clean person. The decor showered how much taste she had, a lot. Then one thing caught his attention. There were no photos.

Now usually a person would have a picture of their family members or of them, but not Selena.

Does she have a family? The thought ran through Nick's head. It's either she did not like family or she doesn't have any at all, period.

Nick her the shower end and the sound of curtains being drawn back. The sound of a blow dryer followed after He checked his watch. He wanted to get to the small quickly. They had a long day ahead of them. Nick had plan the day for them to shop, go to the hair salon, and have his makeup designer fix Selena.

"Ready." She said, hurrying out of her room. Nick looked at her and instantly frowned. She had on winter pants with timberlands and a purple turtle neck; a thick North Face jacket to keep her warm. "What are you wearing?" He asked.

Selena looked down at her outfit, then back up to meet his eyes. "What?" She asked. "It's not lady like." He said. "It's the winter, Mr. Jonas. "We're your going, is the summer." He said . "But it's cold." Selena said defending her style.

"I said its not lady like." He said pinning her to the wall. She closed her eyes terrified. Selena opened them as soon as she no longer felt Nick's hands on her. She looked at him.

"Did you take your pills yet sir?" She asked nervously. "No, go get them now." He demanded rubbing his temples. She hurried into her bathroom and fetch her boss's pills.

Yes she had his medication. Sometimes he would forget to take them and she was in charge if he did not take it. There would be hell to pay if he did not take his pills.

Selena returned to the kitchen and poured Nick a glass of water. She handed him both items. Nick popped the pills in hi mouth and gulped his water down. She took the glass and washed it properly.

She then goes back over to her boss. "Sorry." She apologized.

Nick scoff then pulled out his cellphone. "Call Blanda for me." He handed her this phone. She dialed a couple of numbers and placed the phone to her ear.

"Tell her to meet me at the mall, now." He said. She nodded, but a little confused what was going on.

"Hello."

"Hi?"

"This is Mr. Jonas's assistance. He wants you to drop everything and meet him at the mall right now."

"Oh, okay be right there." She said then hung up.

Selena end the call and looked at her boss. "Come on." He said exiting through her door. She grabbed her purse and locked the door, following Nick to his car. They both sat in the front, buckling their seat belts.

On his way, they stopped by Starbucks and got their coffee, then proceeded to the mall. "We're gonna get you some summer clothes since its piping hit in Texas." He said smiling, proud of his home state. Selena nodded understanding, because Texas too was her home state.

They got out the car, coffee held firmly in hand. "Call Blanda." He said impatiently. She dialed her number one again. "Okay." Was all she said before she hung up. "She's right over there." Selena said pointing as of she was a little girl.

The walked over to Blanda. "Mr. Jonas." She greeted. "Hi Blanda." Nick said smiling at his employee. "Why are we here sir?" She asked politely as possible. "Walk with me." He said. Both Selena and Blanda followed; Blanda beside him and Selena trailing behind.

"You write the Fashion section in the Jonas Daily, correct?" He asked assuredly. "Yes sir." She answered. "I brought you here to help me shop for the lasted summer fashion trends for this one." He points at Selena. "And also to fix her face up a bit, also hair. Think your up for the challenge?" He dared.

If anyone who can dress it would have to Blanda. She was the best dresser and fashionista he had known. He just hoped she would rub off on Selena. Blanda took a look at her fellow employee. "Okay." She said to her boss.

"Do you think you can do it all in one day?" He asked hopefull. A long sigh escaped her lips as looked back at Selena. "It will take a long while with this one." She said unsure. "I'll give you two thousand dollars for the day, including your paycheck." He said convincingly. "Deal." She said smiling. "Let's get to it." He said, wanting it to be over with. "Come on, let's shop 'till we drop." Blanda said pulling Selena's arm.

That was going to be a long day.
