Chapter Six - Monday Mornings are the Worst
1137 Words
I woke up to my alarm ringing déjà vu. Last night was terrible, I couldn't even sleep peacefully. First was Ashley and then my arrogant boss. Now that I see it, today I had to meet him. And that my folks meant trouble. I got up and stomped my way into the bathroom. Striping out all my clothes, I entered the shower room. It wasn't a five-star-hotel-with-million-dollar-faucet bathroom, it was just a simple one which had the basic necessities. I was so lost in showering that I even forgot what time it was. When I looked up to my clock hanged above my couch, I toppled over. It was freaking 8 ' o clock and I was supposed to there at nine. Let's not forget how good New York traffic usually is. Hurrying I took all the essential things a couple of pens, markers, the tablet, my laptop, and chewing gums. I closed the door and came out only to see that none of the taxis were stopping and I yet had to have my breakfast.
I still have 50 minutes so might as well run. Sprinting off to the pavement I started to run but eventually came to stop when a food truck stopped by. The truck was cool bright yellow and pink designs on it, but now wasn't the time to think about it. I knocked on the window as a young girl came up.
" Hello welcome to Waffles & Dinges, what would you like ?"
" Um some waffles please with cream and maple syrup, " I said, she scribbled it on a small piece of paper and shouted to her colleagues. I could already smell fresh waffles as my stomach growled. I laughed embarrassed by my actions, I paid for it and began to devour it. What started as a run now had become a calming walk with waffles in my hand. The waffles were delicious, no doubt. I again found myself in a stance when a honk awakened me. I looked up to a limo at the next cross, the window was slightly open but I couldn't see who was in there. I ignored it as it might be some kids who might have been playing a prank. As I just passed it another honk followed by. This time totally pissed off, I marched to the stationed limo. As I stopped by it, I saw a familiar face. The familiar Italian face I had seen yesterday...
" Roberto, " I said. He was wearing a suit with a blue shirt underneath, a tie and sunglasses. He looked and smiled at me.
" Come on in, Melissa " he shouted over the raging traffic. Should I take a lift? Will it be okay or I should just continue walking I guess but at this phase, I'll reach at 9: 30 and I'll be doomed. So better take it, Mel. I said thanks to him and said where I was headed. At the sound of King, I thought his face fell a little not enough for a decent person to notice. Was I missing something here? I think so. The ride was slow but compared to my walking it was damn fast within a matter of minutes we were in front of Kings. I muttered thanks again as I headed to the coffee shop. The arrogant boss always starts his day with a similar sugarless coffee. After paying and nearly getting hit by a cab, I reached the office. The waffle container was thrown in the dustbin as I made my way towards my cabin. Keeping my bag down, I grabbed the coffee and entered my so-called boss office. The scenery was usual, devil sitting on his desk and typing things unknown to any one of us. I guess I was so into criticizing him that I barely notice the pen on the floor. Not only did I slip and fractured my bum but I also threw the piping hot coffee all over his shirt. The splash made just confirmed it. I got up with wobbly feet as I looked at the overall mess. He was furious. Damn furious. God help me.
"JESUS, MELISSA " he shouted, he took a couple of tissues and began wiping, dabbing and cursing at the same time. He stood up and flicked two fingers. What was he intending? I just stood there not even intending to do anything. I think I was supposed to do something because he turned back and looked at me. I just raised my eyebrows in confusion. He signed and came up to me.
" Flickering two fingers towards my directions means you should follow, clear ?" He said. I just nodded my head in return. He started to walk to a dark polished wooden door. He opened it and entered I followed after him. Only to be amazed by the view in front of me. It was a walk in wardrobe, completely in black just like his soul. There were neat compartments with garments from ties to shirts and pants to Blazers. I was so dazzled that I didn't notice that he had taken out his coffee stained shirt and thrown. When I came to my necessary senses the shirt was over my head and all I could see was white but the cologne smell of it was so good. I swear I heard a chuckle as I removed the shirt on my head and for once looked at him. He was half naked alright with his back muscles flexing as he wore a new shirt. I turned my back to him. Who in the world thought that I would be seeing my boss shirtless. I took the stained shirt and threw it in the laundry basket nearby as I waited for him to finish.
" Time to go Miss Raykar, " he said close to my ear. Odd for me a shiver crept up from my toes to my spine. I just nodded and headed back. He was back again with his spouse which is, by the way, his mobile. I went to my own little cabin and the hideous display of his back kept on making its way to my innocent mind.

Hey guys,
So basically I went totally dramatic and quite attraction related on this chapter. The picture your seeing is of the wardrobe that Xavier has and to say the truth I feel envied by this because it's just so beautiful.I have also decided to update consistently every week. That means each week you will be enjoying a new chapter. Why such sudden decision when I always update slow? Because I am gonna get my mac book pro next week and from then typing a chapter will be a piece of cake. Till then
Happy Reading,
