'Some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again some nights...' played the alarm clock. 6:56.
"Ugh." I moan as I slump out of bed. I take my shower slowly.Today is the day. My very first day on the job that is.At Gray Matter.
"Aph! Come down stairs now or you'll be late!" I head Theresa, my mother, yell.
Oh,right, I'm Aphrodite King.I'm 19 years old AND I live with my single mother. My dad left us when he found out she was pregnant. So yeah, it's been just us.
"Shit." I Pull my navy blue designer Tracy Callavaughn boat neck dress on.I curl my thick,wavy red hair.Kissing my mother's cheek,I grab a cream cheese laced bagel and head out.
"Good morning, Aphrodite." I hear from the other side of the street. Mr.Jennifer is a scraggly old dark man who fought in Afghanistan. "Good morning to you to sir," I salute mockingly.
"How's the Mrs. ?"
"Just fine,just fine." He nods smiling.

Driving down I-72 is horrible during the morning 'rush hour'. God I hate it! I check the time. 7:34. Wait? 7:34? Damn I only have 26 minutes left. A lot of people glance at my mocha colored Ferrari because its custom made. Mommy dearest bought it for me on my 18th Birthday.
Don't forget to pick up Mr.Parkers coffe ho -Carter
My wost enemy and best friend.She's what you'd call a thick woman with untamed blonde hair. Shes beautiful actually.
I cut off at least a dozen of people to get off at the exit. Starbucks bitch.After I pull up in the parking lot, I hold the café door open for a family of six discreetly rolling my eyes. Ugh fuck me.

"Ah Miss King, you're here for the assistants position correct?" An cock eyed elderly lady asked me at the front desk when I arrived. Her floral print Annie dress matched perfectly with her floral print broach. Eck.
"Yes ma'am." I smile.
"Well ,follow me" she takes me down a long hall corridor. The door at the end opens and the sexiest man alive walks out. Parker Gray. The 23 year old CEO of Gray Matters.
"Damn" I stare doe-eyed. He noticed.
"See anything you like?" he questions with a smirk
"U-uh no s-sir!" I stutter.
"Right," he replies sarcastically "I'm Gray.Parker Gray. But you already knew that, and who might you be? Barbie??"
What an asshole.Even if his piercing green eyes and perfectly curled hair contrasts with his defined muscles -wait what was I saying? Oh yeah, even if he is hot as fuck I don't like his attitude. Not a bit.Jerk.
"Your new assistant."
"Oh? Well, I'll have a good time fucking you like I did my past assistants won't I?"
Two can play at this game. "Right after your 10 o'clock." I whisper in his ear. I feel him shiver. Ha, man whore.
We forgot about the little old lady standing there hiding her face with a stack of papers. "H-ha just kidding." I blush.
What a great way to start the first day. Woah that rhymed.
