Chp 2. Hold on

The city lights beat the soil and the surrounding. Today was another long day of work load, it was 1am and I was going to my apartment on foot. My car was still at the office parking lot with a flattened tyre. I didn't want to flag down a cab at this hour and besides its a 10minutes walk to my apartment.

Opposite the lane were two middle aged men; undoubtedly the cops, cat whistling me. I sneer at them and walk hurriedly to my apartment. This city never cease to amaze me each day.

I got a permit from my boss to stay home till noon today. I'm forever gratefully for that, hopefully to release some stress in my muscles.

I exited the elevator and unlock my door, dumping my hand bag at the corner of a couch; I set my coat on its stand. My apartment was extremely furnished, on the twenty fourth floor of a thirty storey.

I would say I had a lot of guts to buy one as big as this. It really cost not more than four thousand dollars, and to add to that i earn pretty well. It had a large space for a kitchen, two toilets and a little study too.

There were two rooms in here, mine and a guest room. My room had a chandelier with a large closet towards the window. The bathroom had a jacuzzi and also a bathtub. A queen sized bed is placed almost in the middle of the room. Curtains and bed covers are all floral design.

The window is a large one, you could see the city from it. On my spare time I seat on a weaved chair staring into the city for an alone time.

Food is not on my mind. I change into bottoms and a big T-shirt. I didn't put on make up today, I tied my brunette Bob in a messy ponytail.
Sitting in the covers of my bed, my mind drift off to that one night that made me vulnerable. I didn't regret any bit of it.

I found myself craving for more, Stephan wasn't able to get my contact number that day because he had to go to work, leaving me alone in his house to find my destination.

I would say he is a very humble guy, living rich without issues and he was probably 26 years old. I didn't find any sort of women cloths in his closet, I assumed he wasn't a ladies man. He was striking beautiful no doubts. I had to restrain myself from getting into his pants for the second time.

A piece of my heart taunts because I won't get to see him again.

I sigh in defeat closing my eyes and humming to a lullaby tune leaving my mind blank, sleep soon took over me.

~~~~~~

I open the brown cupboard pulling out a glass cup, pouring orange juice into it and taking a large gulp. I had just retreated from my early morning jogging habit. It kept me refreshed and ready for a Friday hassle.

I sit on the many seats at the kitchen island, singing along to the music booming through my air pods to my ears.

When I was satisfied and relaxed enough
I opt to take a quick bath with rose water perfume.

I lay out my office cloths which I would change into in an hour time. a knock...

knock knock and another knock

It could be only Christy and her crazy self doing that.

Heavy banging

"Christy!!! Stop it, you are messing with a million dollar door" I shrieked as I flew down the stairs to open it.
She stood at the entrance mortified and fuming at me. She has her heel held towards the door. My eyebrows pushed together and I examined what damage that heel must have done to the door.
