This damn heel.

You were attempting to rush out the door before your most previous play date woke up. His face was smushed onto the pillow, only the back of his head showing. To be completely honest you had forgotten about your first day at work. Which was today. Maybe it was a stupid idea to get wasted and have a one night stand the night before you started work but...everyone has their faults.

After finally slipping the heel on you rushed out the door and made your way to your house. You checked your watch as you ran, 8:30 AM, you could make it home and to work in 30 minutes right? When you finally stumbled through your front door only 5 minutes had passed.

By 8:50 you were freshly cleaned, an ibuprofen was taken, and you were dressed in simple clothes with makeup covering your many hickeys. The job you had taken up was one at an animation center, you helped inform people about mental illnesses through your movies. You really wanted to work there and you could NOT be late for your first day.

After running to your car you sigh heavily and speed down the highway; you finally made it into the building right at 9:00 AM. You state your name at the front desk breathlessly and the secretary begins to type quickly.

"Ah, Ms. (Y/N), here you are. Right this way!"

She sat you down at a very big desk and told you to wait for the 'boss-man' to come in, which would be soon supposedly. But as you played with your shirt bottom you caught an unsteady feeling; like something wasn't right. Something was off.

You heard the door open but didn't turn your head. You heard voice mutter "Thank you, Brooke. I've got this from here."

The door clicked shut and you heard his footsteps getting closer as he started towards his desk while saying, "Please forgive me. I'm running a little late." He chuckles. But when you two finally made eye contact it was fun to realize your were about to take up this job.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. (L/N)," He says.

He looks at you, expecting you to look him in the eyes, but you were taking in his clothing. He was wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt with a brown jacket and jeans, nothing professional and you loved it. He leaned forward and told that he was open for ideas and character design and while he talked it was awkward at first but then it became so easy to discuss ideas that you forgot you were at work.

He was quite nice. By the time you both had run out of time and Mary has led you to your desk and to meet your other colleges it was 3:00. You still had 2 hours of work and you were tired and bored out of your mind. As you were tapping your pencil on your new desk you heard the door behind you be shoved open.

"M...Mary," someone panted. "I'm so sorry. I slept late and I... didn't realize... how late I was until I woke up." You'd heard that voice from somewhere. But where?

Her sweet voice rang through the air with encouraging words that it was fine. You guess he'd worked here for a while.

When he walked pass you, you saw a brown jacket hanging limply from his skinny frame and you heard as he huffed and he puffed all the way around you until he sat down at the desk in front of you. This time you looked at his face. And then it all snapped into place. Suddenly the drunken amnesia disappeared and you remembered every detail of last night even the drunken whimpers of pleasure. This was the guy from last night.

When he saw you his eyes widened and his lips parted. He recognized you for sure. With his eyes glued you with eyebrows raised his chest heaved and you caught sight of the red hickey on his neck; he was wearing a tie dye shirt and some jeans.

"(Y/N)?" He asks bewildered.

You nod tightly, "Rich."

"I didn't realize you were the one taking up the job. I guess we're work partners now."

Your eyebrows furrow, "Work partners?"

He nods, taking in a breath, his disheveled hair falling, "Yeah. That's what we're sitting in front of each other."

"Oh," you mutter. "I didn't realize."

It's only then that he gives a tiny smiles and says, "So we meet again."
