Pressing Matters

Chapter 5

I have never worked this hard in my entire life, in a single day; it feels as if someone had beaten me with a stick to my feet. The alarm I asked matt to set rang about ten minutes ago, every minute that passes by I keep saying ' five more minutes...'.

Finally I surrendered to the annoying sound and tried having a quick shower, it's 4:10 am and I'm suppose to be by the restaurant at 5 am. I tried cold water just to help me wake the fuck up, I only had maybe 2 hours of sleep and that wasn't even half the amount needed. After my quick shower I ran into my kitchen butt ass naked and start to make myself a cup of coffee.

While I'm spooning in my milk my front door burst open ad I drop everything and duck behind the counter, screaming at the top of my voice at Matthew.

" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINNDD??!" I laughs as cover his eyes as if he didn't just see me naked.

" Calm down will you, next time wear clothes..." I round the other side, crawling on my knees so he wouldn't catch a glimpse again. A little while later a towel comes flying over the counter onto my head. I mumble a thanks and wrap my body securely in it.

" Why are you here so early?" I stir my cup and take a sip before looking at him on his phone again.

" I slept by your sister for the last few hours... Thought I might join her and perv out a little," I smile sarcastically at him and made my way into my room with the cup. I eye caught the time on the wall clock and I almost spit my coffee out, not caring that Matt was watching me at the moment.

I drop the towel in my closet and quickly pull on my undies, some fancy lace that felt like nothing and a black bra. I did take out a skinny jeans to wear but it's going to be very impractical to try to take it off later in the dressing room.

" Good choice..."

" Are you going to stand there and judge me or help and do something?" I snap at him

" Quite being pissy and come one, I'll drop you off since your already running late." I throw on a  loose pair of joggers and a t-shirt and slip my feet in a furry slipper. He hates how I dress so I look at him for his reaction, just as I thought it was written over his face.

" Let me grab my luggage-"

" Give it to me I'll take it down," he takes it from my hand and leaves quickly, before I lefty apartment I had this feeling that I left something. But checking again in the front seat of Matt's Benz I had everything

I guess I'll know later one, and it will be too late.

I sip the coffee desperately as sleep came over me again, if I'd took a taxi I would be even extra later than I wanted to be.

" Your nervous... What for?" His deep voice drew me out of my own head.

" I'm not nervous, who told you that?" I look at him from the side.

" We're at a stop light and your shaking the car with your foot not to mention your chewing your precious nails..." The leg I was shaking unconsciously stops immediately and I drop my hand to my thigh.

" Sorry," I mumble quietly, he sped past the stoplights even when they are orange, prompting me to buckle my seat belt, as he was telling me countless times before.

We reached the entrance exactly two past five and I reach over and hug him, before I made a mad dash to leave.

" Tell Macy I'll text her when to bring my clothes for me and thank you Matthew, your the best..." I pass my reflection in the revolving door and choke again on my remaining coffee.

The exact mirror image of me on my worse days could scare the shit out of me...

" MORNING everyone, no I'm not late I am on time." I state as the room erupted in laughter,  when I'm gone I'll surely miss these people. Every single one of them were like family, if I never had one and boy could they make me laugh.
