Isabelle's pov

3 years ago...

I'm on my way to work... Mondays are honestly not my favourite days of the week, along with Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... But I kinda like Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

First I need to get a coffee, to get started on the long day ahead of me.

I hate my boss, but love the old lady still. She's beautiful, classy and annoying as hell... Its a love-hate relationship, she's from the pit of hell! I check her head for horns sometimes! Don't be surprised I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

I get to the coffee store and of course there's a lovely long line, oh how I love standing in qeues with frowning people, just the highlight of my day, note my sarcasm.

I roll my eyes and take a spot on the queue, place my order and wait for the blonde, chubby and nonchalant barista to get my coffee - at least she gets her job done.

These heels are killing me!... I'm wearing a form fitting black dress, I didn't put effort into my hair or makeup as it is snowing, nothing to love about the weather, and also I'm not in the mood.

After waiting 3minutes to get my coffee, I honestly don't know why it took that long.

As I grab my coffee and I'm about to turn someone bumps into me! Like full on! Head on bumping!

There goes my coffee...

Yeah you guessed it! I'm furious, I can feel the smoke coming out of my ears. I look up and this tall, I mean super tall dude is staring down at me, his eyes are sooo beautiful.... Hol' the fuck up.

No man! He won't charm me!

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking. Can I get you another?"

His voice is so deep yet warm... okay I just went all mush mush on the inside - there goes my rage.

Words fail me so instead i nod.

He places the order... After a few minutes, he walks over and hands me my coffee and introduces himself with a hand stretched out to shake mine.

"I'm Ray, I'm really sorry about your coffee."

"I'm Isabelle, but you can call me isa, and it's fine - you replaced it."

I look at my watch and guess who's late. That's right me!

I wave him goodbye and set off to work.

Thankfully medusa wasn't in yet... Like I said it's a love-hate relationship and it's definitely mutual.

Jess comes to my office to get numbers of some contractors.

Jess is my office friend,turned best friend... we're age mates, she's Caucasian, she's really fun, we started working here few months ago around the same time and have been joined by the hip ever since.

She's a few inches taller than me, brunette and blue eyes that twinkle when she's laughing. She's a really good friend and we share common hatred for Ms Margaret Smith.

"You will never guess what happened to me this morning."

"You hit someone and drove off! Oh wait oh wait!... Uhm Uhm you won a lottery?"

"I won't even ask why you had the first thought!..."

She cuts in,

"I can always help you hide a body... You can count on me."

She says with a poor attempt at making a sympathetic look.

"Thank you?..."

"You're always welcome."

I roll my eyes.

"Anyway, I met this really handsome guy at the coffee shop."

I tell her everything and we squeal...

"So, did you get his number?... When are you going over to his place?"

"Whoa down girl!... No, I didn't get his number and two I'll never go to his house just a few minutes after meeting him Jess, Jesus!"

"You're such a bore... So you just up and left?!"

I nod, and she shakes her head in disbelief.

"What?... Omg Jess! I just met him and I might never meet him again... Now, what did you want again?"

"Whatever... I really need to set you up with someone you're getting old on me. But let me tell you something not on my watch! Let me have the number of those contractors you work with."

I email their numbers to her.

"Wait a second Jess why didn't you just call me so I mail the numbers to you?"

"Well that's the only excuse I had to leave my office, I've not seen you all day!... We need to hang out, I'll let Nadia know... Just us girls!"

"Yes! I've missed you girls so much!"

With that she exits my office.

OH, how I've missed hanging out with my girls! I don't like adulting. We are all so busy every week.

Nadia Simone my childhood best friend... I've known her basically all my life! She's a beautician.

You know hair, nails, makeup. She's her own boss, I'm so proud of her. She's light skin, and the mature one in this friend trilogy.

She's fierce and fearless too... We got our nose piercings same day, for the entire week I kept crying, don't judge me it hurt a lot. She has a boyfriend Tom, dude adores her!

I can't wait for the weekend.

Just have to get through Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday night we party hard, all through to Saturday.

Can't wait!
