Bound

*Valencia's pnt of view* I woke to the sound of my alarm ringing through my ears. what f*****g time was it? i looked down at the clock, 7:00am. My eyes started to roll and i almost fell back into a deep slumber until i heard loud knocks on my door. "Val, are you awake?" i realized it was just my best friend Layla, but i didn't know why she was knocking on my door this early. "Val isn't home i answered and flopped back into bed. " VALENCIA MICHELSON YOU BETTER BE OUT OF THAT BED AND DRESSED BEFORE I TAKE THIS DOOR OFF OF IT'S HINGES" she screamed from the other side of my front door. "why are you even here so early?" i asked confused, "you have your interview today stupid and you have half an hour to get ready" her tone calmer than before, and that's when her words sunk in, s**t MY INTERVIEW!!!! i jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom managed to get all of my clothes off in a matter of seconds and get in the shower. three minutes later i had finished my almost cold shower and blow dried my hair while drying myself off. I applied natural makeup and red lipstick my hair was pulled back into a low bun leaving a couple of strands out of my fringe and putting my interview outfit on, i smothered myself in perfume before grabbing my purse and making my way to the front door. "VALENCIA" came another scream from Layla "OK,OK" i replied as i slowly opened the door giggling. I slid my way around the door with my hands raised as a sign of surrender. "Holy s**t val you look gorgeous" was what came from a Layla with her jaw on the floor "i know" i replied sassily and my surrender quickly became a runway walk showing off my outfit which consisted of a black high waisted pencil skirt with a white blouse buttoned all the way up to the collar and tucked into the skirt, matched with some closed toe black heels and last but not least a black purse. "going for the sophisticated and classy look" Layla asked and with a smirk i replied "But of course but i didn't have to do much i woke up like this" straight after i finished my sentence Layla stated "really?because i could have sworn that i still have photos of you face down passed out on the couch with a messy bun, an over sized hoodie a pair of trackies, bed socks and drool stuck to your face" and i simply replied "wasn't me i don't know what your talking about" we both giggled and got in the car. After a short drive we arrived at Marcelus co (The law firm) i said thanks to Layla and closed the door and watched as she drove away and slowly turned around to face the large building. I froze, the cluster of butterflies in the pit of my stomach made it impossible for me to make my way to the front entrance until a woman quickly walked over and escorted me inside. "you must be applying for the assistant position" she stated "ummm yes" i replied confused as to who this woman was "And what is your name?" she blurted "Valencia Michelson" i replied trying to pronounce my name in a more sophisticated manner. "Alright so your going to go into the elevator, take it all the way to the top floor and once the elevator doors open you're going to walk straight down to the end office, Good luck" she finished and so taking notice of how late i was i walked over to the elevator not wasting any time and pressed the highest number there was. The elevator doors finally pulled open and with a gasp i took in my surroundings. Polished grey floors,crisp white walls, modern light fixtures, a grey couch and a hallway made up of three large offices. i walked through the waiting area and down the hallway with the sound of my heels hitting the floor, i finally reached the door took a breath and knocked. I heard a deep growl and a come in come from the other side of the door , once i opened the door my eyes instantly connected with those of a tall, sexy, well built man with perfectly groomed hair, a sharp jawline and dark eyes. "you are late!" he stated in a deep voice, i seated myself in the chair across from his, "yes i am but i apologize it wont happen again" i quietly replied "what is your name?" he asked abruptly "It is on my resume" i curtly responded "I want to hear it come from you" he replied while leaning slightly forward, "Valencia Michelson" i snapped. "well Valencia Michelson i do not like your tone" he said with a smirk on his face, Oh my lord he looks like he has been created by the gods themselves! i thought to myself also thinking about what it would be like to kiss his lips and put my hands on his chest. As i started zoning out i didn't really realize that i was staring straight at him but he sat and stared back at me knowing that i was thinking about how good it would feel to be with him. and with a sharp movement of his hand snapping his fingers in my face i came back to reality and noticed that i had been staring at this man for a good five minutes."I am so sorry i'm just feeling a bit out of it today" my cheeks started burning and all i could hear was a laugh "It's ok it happens all the time" he said confidently. I clasped my hands together and placed them on my lap. "you start today, your office is in the waiting area, and we will go over the rules once you make me a coffee and bring it to my office" he said while leaning back in his chair. without responding i quickly walked out of his office and went back the way i came.
