After my lunch I'm walking back to my building.

I get into the elevator and go up to my floor.

As soon as I walk out of the elevator I say "doll go on your lunch break I hope I didn't take too long."

"No Ms.Mia it wasn't long at all, thanks." She replies with a smile as she rounds her desk.

"No problem at all have a nice lunch doll." I say before I enter my office.

After I sit at my desk I shoot a quick text to my Baba to let him know I didn't get to know what he said.

I sigh and bite my lip as I think about Mr. Lombardi.

I shake my head and mentally tell myself to stop thinking about him.

I check the time on my phone and smile to see it's only 2 and that I have no more interviews.

So I start typing up the notes and listen to my recorder as I type to get every last word.

When I'm done with both sections for the magazine I look out my big glass window and see it's dark.

I put my stuff away and grab my purse.

I put my phone in my pocket, wrap my scarf around my neck, and Put my coat on.

I then walk out of my office and press the button as soon as I get to the elevator.

When the elevator gets to my level and opens I go straight in and press the button to the car lot.

When the elevator opens again I head to my car and put my stuff in the passenger seat.

I crank the car up and drive out of the car lot.

When I get home I park in the garage and take my stuff in the house.

I sit my stuff in the office and head to my room.

When I get to the room I strip out of my clothes and put on a baggy shirt with shorts and fuzzy socks.

That night I dream about Mr. Lombardi.

The Next morning

I wake up head straight to the bathroom and Start the shower.

As the shower warms up I brush my teeth and pull my braids into a bun on my head.

I then strip and get in the shower lathering myself in violet body wash.

When I'm done I get out and wrap myself in my towel.

I go into my room and sit on the bed after I grabbed the lotion.

After I'm done lathering myself in lotion I go into the closet and pull on a matching set of underwear.

After that I pull out a white long sleeve crop top, a pair of blue jeans, some uggs and a cardigan to match my uggs.

I go into the bathroom put my braids in a ponytail and throw my big silver hoops in.

I then put some carmax on and grab my black bookbag purse.

I put my phone in my back pocket and grab my car keys.

I walk out my room and down the stairs heading for the door.

I walk out the door, lock it behind me, and walk to my car.

I get in put my bag in the passenger and start the car.

Before I back out I turn on high hopes to get me pumped for the day.

Two songs later and I park into a spot in front of the nail shop.

When I get out the car and walk in the nail shop many women look at me with jealousy.

I simply smile at them and tell the woman I want a full set.

As she escorts me to a seat I look up and men are outside the shop peering in at me.

I roll my eyes at them and watch as Jin, my bestfriend does my nails.

"So what you want today bestfriend?" Jin asks as he puts the nails on.

"I want coffin but design wise you surprise me Jin." I say with a smile.

"Sure thing bestfriend, I'd be delighted to." Jin says with a bright smile.

I simply laugh and watch as he does my nails.

After he's done he sits my hands down so my nails can dry.

I slide him my card and he goes and swipes my card.

When he comes back my nails look more than dry so I simply get up and put my card in my wallet.

He grabs my hands and smiles at his work.

"Thanks Jin I'll be back soon for a fill in, oh and I love the design." I say as he hugs me.

"No problem bestie don't be stranger okay." He say when I pull away.

"I promise I won't text me soon okay, bye Ms. Bai" I say as I head towards the door.

"Bye darling." Ms. Bai says before I exit the nail shop.

After I cross the street and get in my car I sit my bag in the passenger seat.

I crank up my car and back out of my parking space.

I then drive off blasting whatever song I was listening to before I got out the car.

I pull up at Starbucks as soon as a song ends.

I get out the car and go inside to order what I came for.

I go up to the register and order but while im waiting I all of a sudden hear girls swooning.

I turn around to see Mr. Lombardi walking in but his eyes are staring into mine the whole time.

I roll my eyes and break eye contact with him.

The boy behind the counter hands me my things with a flirty smile.

I smile back at him and all of a sudden he gets this scared look in his eyes.

I turn to look at Mr. Lombardi to see he's glaring at the boy.

I scoff at him and go take a seat to enjoy what I bought.

As I pull my laptop out and sit it on the table I feel eyes on me.

When I look up Mr. Lombardi is looking at me again except this time he's sitting right across from me in my booth.

"Mia, I wanted to talk to you." Mr. Lombardi states.
