'bing bring'

Goddamnit. I groaned, lifting my head from the desk.

'bring bring'

Oh shit. I fell from my chair in a panic as I frantically searched for the phone.

'bring bring'

"Gotcha."

'bring-'

"Hello?"

"Good news y/n. Deadlines back to where it was last week. We've still got 3 weeks until your design needs to be in. I don't know what changed the client's mind but boy are we lucky. The meeting is canceled so don't worry about coming in early. I'll see you on Wednesday" He hung up.

"Uh okay then sir...?" you looked at the half-finished, very rushed designs sitting on your desk.

'Guess its probably a good thing cause these are shite'

I decided with all this extra time I should let myself have some fun. So after a long shower, I called Alexandria (Best friend).

"Dude guess what?" I shouted excitedly into the phone.

"You finally lost your virginity?!" She joked, shouting back in the same excited tone, mocking me.

"Shut up. Remember how I was saying the client had pushed the date forward to this week? They changed their mind, I still have 3 weeks!" I exclaimed.

"Well, you know what we should do with all this extra time?" She paused for a dramatic effect. "Shopping lets go WOO!" she cheered

"Yknow what, sure WOO." We cheered before I ran to my closet to get dressed.

I found a Black crop top and some baggy jeans, pulling a cardigan over my shoulders I grabbed my purse, pet Alpha goodbye, and left.

After wandering around the shops for a while, we decided to head for lunch. We found a small cafe by the beach, got our orders, and sat on a bench above some stairs looking out to the horizon. I took a sip of my coffee, I had ordered a coffee and a bagel, Lex ordered soda and a sandwich.

"Got mugged last night."

"WHAT!" Lex looked at me as if I just said I had shot Biggie Smalls. "This was LESS important than your deadline!"

"Yes."

She hummed and looked at me.

"So what happened?" She asked curiously

I stopped to think for a minute. I hadn't actually taken the time to process it myself, and some of the details were a bit blurry. "I hit my head so I don't actually remember that much. But the guy didn't manage to take anything apparently this Bucciarati guy stopped him after he knocked me out. See?" I pointed to the cut on my lip.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask about that. To be honest I thought you had just fallen over or something... Buccairati huh? I feel like I've heard that before. So what happened then?"

"Uhhh he took me to some restaurant where his friends were and one of them drove me home and helped me look for Alpha."

"Was it a guy?" She asked, looking at me expectingly.

"Yes, Why?"

"Did they hurt you or... Yknow... Do anything?"

"N- No"

Lex sighed and shook their head, taking a sip of her soda "So was he cute? TELLMETELLMETELLME!!!" She screamed at me.

"I- I guess." I could feel my cheeks heating up as an obvious blush crept across my face.

"OHMYGOSH what do you mean you guess?! Look at your face you look like you used lipstick as a blush!" She shook me by the shoulders as I turned an even darker shade from being called out. "Tell me EVERYTHING!!!" She shook me more violently now, I was just glad my coffee was on the ground.

"Jeez no!" I managed to pry myself free from her grip.

"Awww... Why not." She sighed and looked up at me with the biggest puppy eyes she could manage.

"Because it's 1.30 and I need to go." I sniggered, grabbing my bags and wiping down my top making sure there were no crumbs on me.

"Fine," Lex sighed "see you around."

As I waved goodbye, I could've sworn I saw one of the men from the night before walking up the stairs.
