The Past or Present

 *Knock Knock*

“Who the hell is that at my door? I’m not expecting anyone.” Looking confused at the door.

I get my house robe and hurray to the door.

“Who is it?” There was no response. I grab my tablet to check the camera that is installed outside of my door.

“Why is my boss, Domenico, at my house?” wondering to myself.

Opening the door, “Mr. Galo how did you know where I live and what are you doing at my apartment?” I asked him with a bit of annoyance in my voice. I hate surprised visitors showing up at my house. I guess called me paranoid.

“I am the boss getting your address wasn’t that hard, but the reason I am here is because you left your in the office,” he answers me without blinking while walking past me into the house.

Now I feel like a dumbass thinking the boss wanted something else from me. He clearly doesn’t have any feelings towards me in that way. “Stop Fran get those thoughts out of your head about your boss, but I damn he looks so good right now and every time I see. . Just stop.”

He didn’t even notice him staring at me while I was day dreaming about him. “Thank you so much for finding my phone and bringing it to me personally. You really didn’t have to.”

“Sure no problem,” he says with a slight smirk on face that quickly went away when he realized I caught him.

“Nice apartment. Do you live here alone or roommate?” he asked as he looks around my apartment like he owns the place. I roll my eyes when he wasn’t looking. “No roommates just me and thank you. Could I get you something to drink?”

“No, do you have plans tomorrow for lunch?” he ask.

“No why? Do you need me for work?” I ask him wondering why he asked me that. “Well yes it kind of have something to do with work. Remember the charity ball next Friday, I told you about at work well you need a dress.”

I honestly thought he would want me to be behind the scenes and not actually attend. And I am not ready to tell him my personal business about my family so I guess I will be attending the ball and staying out of all pictures.

“Okay do you want me to meet you somewhere?” I ask. “No I will be here at noon to pick you tomorrow.”

“Okay”

“Well, have a nice evening Ms. Dias looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.” He says with a smile on his face. And OMG what a nice smile. No, no, no I do not need to think of him that way he is my boss. I say to myself before saying, “Goodbye sir.”

Closing the door and placing my hand over my chest wondering what the hell just happened. How did I get into this situation? One minute I’m a late employee meeting a new boss to the boss showing up at my house. I really don’t know why I am excited to see him tomorrow.

I have to really stop thinking of this sexy God that is my boss but damn he is soooooo fine. I have a thing for men that can dress regardless of it being a suit or whatever. But looking at him I can tell that he has an amazing body through his suit. I wonder what he looks like out of the suit. Nope no you don’t drop it.

Picking up my phone to order door dash. I figure I will have a quiet night I have had enough excitement for today. My food arrives and start re-watching Games of Thrones from the beginning. I love that damn show. The lead is a strong female and her husband does not hurt the eyes even though he dies.

I just off the couch looking around the room. “It was just a dream, it was just a dream,” I keep repeating to myself until I calm down. I look around realizing I’m still safe in my apartment and that I fell asleep in the living room. I go to my bathroom and washing my face.

I grab my phone checking the time. It’s only two in the morning. So I go and stretch across my bed trying to fall asleep. I keep tossing and turning realizing that I was not falling to sleep anytime soon. I grab my IPad from my night stand and start reading a novel off of one of those reading apps. A story about a werewolf couple falling in love.

Morning comes quick, I wake up with my IPad laying on my chest and the sun shining through the windows. I feel like I hadn’t gotten any sleep. Getting up going to the bathroom doing my morning routine brushing my teeth and washing my face.

Looking in the fridge, “what will I have for breakfast?”

I choose to make some French toast, cheesy eggs, and cut up some fresh fruit with a cup of hot tea. Coffee is bad for you. Sitting down taking my time eating and thinking about how lonely I have been feeling lately. I don’t have any friends because I never know when I am going have to move because my father or asshole of fiancé will find me. So I stay to myself.

*Ding*

Going back to my room to grab my phone to check it.

Message:

Dom: Good morning, I hope you slept well last night. I will see you at noon don’t forget.

Me: Good morning, I will see you then.

Checking the time. “Damn it is 1030 already,” rushing to my closet to figure out something to wear. Walking around my walk-in closet trying to figure out something to wear. I finally settle on a two piece silk soft pink pant suit. The pants cling to my hips so nice not too tight but enough to show my curves and the top is a crop tube top silk also. It has a ribbon bow that ties the shirt together in the front. It shows a little cleavage but not too much.

I have so many clothes but I don’t get to get dress that much being that I stay home most of the time. I choose a pair of sandal heels to go with the clothes and rush to the shower. But before hopping in the shower definitely had to put my shower playlist on.

Jamming to Already by Beyoncé. I step out of the shower continuing with my process face routine, oil, and lotion. I throw some light make up on. It is hot outside I really do not want to be sweaty. Throw my curly hair up in a high bun and smooth down my edges.

Checking my phone for the time again, 11:45. I throw some jewelry on my Rolex watch, diamond stud earrings, and a couple of rope gold chains.

*Knock Knock*

“He is here” checking myself out one more time before making my way to the door.
