Aurora

I'm dressed and ready for work.

Am I?

Well you'd better be Aurora, you changed your darn outfit three time already! Colour stockings included each time, so that's a head of a wardrobe change change if you ask me!

And why are you even putting this much effort into how you look today, anyway? It's just a meeting. Just another meeting.

Yeah, but for the first time, you find a guy interesting, sure you hate his book, but him, as a human being seems cool.

And he did draw the same conclusion about me,so...

Anyways, my dressing is less about him and more about the staff party I forgot all about!

Honestly, how I say yes to these things and forget, is appallingly to me! I just don't have that sort of relationship with my staff...it's more for them and each other that I agree to them anyway.

I look myself up and down in the mirror.
This navy blue, pencil dress with a high slit on my right thigh that is only revealed when I walk. The cleavage non-existent, as I don't believe my C-cups should be on display in the office, party or not. It was a simple dress. It hugged my curves in the all the right places.

My hair is in it usual state, a big, curly afro. Shea moister and Cantu added for moister and taming the frizz a bit, and that's it. I run my index finger through the center, making a part in the middle, half way, and fluff it some more, My dark burgundy lipstick bringing out brown in my eyes. I tried to contour my cheeks, I don't know if I did it right,but I did it, and I hope to God I don't fall in these Giuseppe heels that are six inches high.

Well girl you look good!

Yeah, I agree.

Another hour and a half before the party begins and I am waiting for Mister Derrick Jaxn-Love Doctor-knock off Bennett to get here. I am fidgeting with my pen and wasting time scrolling through Facebook.

'I can already tell you're going to be interesting' he had said to me when we met.

And I still can't decipher if its because he said that why I am all of a sudden interested in meeting again to find out exactly why or...

"Excellent choice of attire today Miss Mirage." I look up startled and I am caught completely of guard, my heart drops to the pit of my stomach and I feel my knees close together in an attempt to get as much of my self together as I look at this face I haven't see in five years.

"Chad?"I say, more like ask, in a voice that could only mirror someone in disbelief. Why is here? In my building in my office?

He runs his hand over his low fade, and grins at me.Standing six feet tall , medium built in a brown suit with white accents,brown snake skin shoes to match, both ears still pierced with diamond chip nobs in them.
He grew a beard.

He doesn't move from my door, both his hands nervously at his sides. He realizes his awkwardness, and resorts to folding his arms across his chest.

"I hope you don't mind, I just brought something for Camila, and I knew you owned the firm, thought I'd say hi-"

"Camila is your?" I ask feigning confidence.

I relax into my chair and cross my legs, knowing fully well he can see them under my desk.Folding my arms across my chest ,I give him a concerned look that could either be translated as bitchy, bossy or unimpressed ...shit all of those work.
