It was Friday morning, and I was finishing the preparations this morning for my first class at work. It was going well so far, and I was happy with the people I worked with. The plus side to my new position was being able to really dress up for work. Although I had to wear a white coat, since I was an educator, I was still able to feel good about the way I looked. For me, that was a big deal. For the first time I was able to choose what I wanted to wear.

This morning I picked out a white lace dress with a cream underlay. I paired it with a cream bag, and a pair of nude heels. 

I left the house at 6:30

I left the house at 6:30. I like to be at work at 7am, so I can leave by 3pm if I don't have a class. I left my car in the driveway yesterday, so I went out the front door and walked down the path. I heard Nick's door, so I turned around and waved at him. He was always so dressed up for work.

"Hey. What are you doing tonight?" I asked him. I hadn't seen him all week.

"Nothing. I'll be off work by about 2." he said. "What are you thinking?"

"Wanna come over for dinner? Seth will take any excuse to put that ruffled apron on." I said with a laugh.

"Yeah, that would be great. What can I bring?" He said as he leaned onto the roof of his car.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe a dessert?" I suggested.

His eyes briefly roamed my body, "Ok." he said as a slow smile spread across his face. "What time should I be there?"

"Seth is off today, so anytime is fine, but I'll be home just after 3." I said.

"I'll see you later." He said with a smile.

I climbed into my car and went into work. I was able to finish the curriculum and all the lessons for the class that started on Monday. Since I had another two hours before I was going home, I looked at the next class that I would do. As I saw the title, my hands started to shake, and my chest felt tight. I stood up and pulled on my white coat, and walked next door to my bosses office.

I gently knocked on her door. "Come in." I heard Celeste say.

"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." I said as I opened the door and entered the room.
