1182 Words
Maddison's POV I'd handed my notice in to Andy at the club and he made me promise that if I ever needed a job that I would give him a call. I thanked him and gave him a tight hug. I said my goodbyes to the rest of the crew who were already on shift before driving to the mall. I had some serious shopping to do for more work clothes. It would be just basics like a few skirts and a few blouses and maybe another pair of shoes, oh and some flats and possibly some new make up. Maybe Cara should be here for this. I gave her a text and she messaged me back that she would meet outside our favourite coffee shop in thirty minutes. I ordered us both Americanos and sat outside waiting for her to arrive. It wasn't long before he joined me, we finished our drinks and started our shopathon ! We had such a blast trying things on and laughing, I was really going to miss seeing her almost every day. She had been my rock since the accident. By the end of the day I was ready for bed. Ben was with Andrea and I'd collect him on my way home. She had offered to have him early morning and after school so I didn't have to enrol him in the breakfast and dinner club at school, she was an absolute blessing. Cara was lucky to have such an amazing mum.  I'd enjoy my weekend with Ben before starting my new adventure in the city on Monday. I looked up at the sky and hoped my parents were proud of me and the job I was doing so far. None of it had been easy, maybe I should be grateful that Jaxon has given me this job on a silver platter, it may just be the break I need.  The weekend was fun. Ben and I went to the beach and played crazy golf, stuffed our faces with warm donuts rolled in sugar, ice cream and candy floss and then felt utterly sick afterwards rubbing our tummies all the way home. Sunday evening came round fast. I had laid out my clothes for the next day and made my lunch. The nerves had started to kick in and I prayed I was good enough for the position. I didn't even know what the job entailed! Oh god, what if I can't do it ? What if I make a fool of myself in front of these people, they all looked pretty professional ?  I decided to make some hot chocolate. My mum would always make me some at night if I couldn't sleep. Popping my head into Ben's room to see if he was still awake and wanted some too but he had already nodded off, lucky little fella. I made the hot drink, double checked the doors were all locked downstairs and headed up to my room. I snuggled up under my covers and sat with my book and hot chocolate, reading until I felt sleepy. About an hour later I placed my mug and book on the bed side table and turned my lamp off, I then rolled over and pulled my covers up to my chin and drifted off into a deep slumber. I had the most fantastic dream that night. I was in a forest and stumbled across a black wolf. His fur was so soft and the way he hummed when I stroked him made me feel contented. When I woke I was disappointed, I must remember to search the meaning on the internet later. Then Ben came running into my room and jumping all over me. I am not sure who was more nervous about my new job, him or me.  " Come on munchkin let's go get some breakfast, what do you fancy ?" " Toast and some bee juice pleeeease" " Do you mean honey, Ben?" " Dat's what me said silly" " Honey on toast it is!" We sat down and ate our breakfast together and then went to get ready. Andrea was going to come and pick Ben up soon so I could get ready in peace without little man dangling off of me asking a thousand questions about space. Once she arrived I gave Ben a kiss, telling him I would see him after work and then jumped in the shower. The water was hot just the way I like it, I reached for the strawberry shampoo and squeezed a small amount into the palm of my hand, rubbing my hands together to form a lather before applying it to my hair and rinsing out, then I conditioned it, rinsed again and washed my body in the strawberry body creme. Once out of the shower I dried my hair and used my wand to curl and bounce the ends, applied neutral shades of make up to keep the look professional and slipped my skirt, blouse and heels on. I did a twirl in the mirror, not bad at all if I do say so myself. Checking the time and grabbing my bag I locked the door and scurried down the street toward the station, it was only a few streets away, pretty handy for commuting. I had set up an account so all I had to do was swipe my card rather than keep buying tickets at the barriers. The train was at the platform and I found my seat, it was already rather busy. The journey in was uneventful and when I reached my stop I almost turned back and went home because the nerves were becoming unbearable. But I gave myself a good talking to, I've been through hell this year a silly s*x god will not keep me down! I didn't need my map on my phone this time to locate the building, I had memorised it from the interview. I entered the building and the girl on the front desk recognised me and gave me a wave, she was sweet. Then a big, burly security guard escorted me to the lift and joined me. He was actually polite and soft spoken for someone so intimidating, it made me chuckle a bit. Once we reached the floor the doors opened. He was there ready and waiting to greet me. My heart thumped hard. My palms clammed up again. How does he have this affect on me every time? and then he reached out his hand to shake mine. " Welcome Miss White " he smiled at me and as his skin touched mine the sparks erupted. I looked directly into his eyes and could have sworn they flashed silver for a second before returning to that brilliant blue, the tingles and sparks rushing up my arm, my breath caught too. I felt sheer panic yet excitement as he pulled me closer to him and whispered in my ear, " Don't worry I won't bite, yet" with the sexiest whisper I have ever heard.  Oh god, what have I done....
