When it's wrong

7:00 a.m

Rolling over in bed I noticed the other side was cold like normal, Derrick usually never sleeps in bed with me anymore. I've actually gotten used to it, in the beginning, I would cry and beg him to come to bed. But I got tired just like anyone would. Picking my phone up I noticed I had an email from Kelsey from last night, I'm sure it was just my schedule from today. 

Opening the email it automatically just synced to my reminders app, opening the app I realized she sent me her list of things to do today. It was now 7:10 a.m I knew there were a few things I wanted to get done before my meeting with Mr. East's assistant. I typically never went on first meetings. I always sent Kelsey to get a feel for the person, to also find out exactly what they needed and a time frame. So today was going to be quite the day.

Getting out of bed, I realized I never did take a shower last night I was so exhausted. Making my bed quickly, making my way into the bathroom to take a quick shower and wash my hair. Turning the water all the way to hot, I grabbed my toothbrush and put some of my favorite black charcoal toothpaste on it. Brushing my teeth I walked into the walk-in closet that was attached to my bathroom, opting for comfort with slight sexy I decided on a red two-piece crop top with a long red skirt with a slit up the side, the nice thing about being your own boss is being able to dress however you wanted! Finishing up brushing my teeth and hopping in the shower I began to wash my body with my favorite mango body wash. Washing my hair and face in the process, only taking about thirty minutes to complete it all.

Stepping out of the shower I wrapped my hair in a towel and another around my body, going back into my bedroom area to grab my phone so I could play a little music while I got ready. Grabbing my phone and walking back in the bathroom I decided to takes a few pictures. Putting my phone down just letting it play on shuffle while I did my wash and go routine. 

An hour later I was finally done defusing my hair flipping it up, I was in a rush now looking at my phone seeing it was going on nine o'clock. Rushing putting my body oils on along with some shimmer powder, I slipped into my outfit sitting on the bed to strap up my heels. 

Taking a final glance in the mirror I was finally ready to go.

I was feeling a bit self-conscious walking downstairs because my stomach was out slightly in this outfit, the saleswomen at Gucci talked me into purchasing it. Walking into the kitchen looking at the clock it now read 9:50. I was really pushing it on time, I grabbed my laptop and my purse and headed for the garage. Derrick wasn't home, I'm assuming he was already at the gym for the day. I set the alarm and got into my Jeep. The drive to the restaurant was actually really relaxing, the drive took around a half-hour. 

Pulling up to valet I hopped out grabbing my things handing my keys to the valet driver.

Walking into the restaurant I noticed it was empty, not really knowing why or what to expect I asked the first person I saw, if it was even open, and explained to them I had a 10:30 meeting, with a woman by the name of Camara. 

The kind woman leads me to a table in the middle of the room. " My name is Carmen, Someone will be with you shortly ma'am, would you like anything to drink while you wait?" Carmen said handing me the wine and drink menu. 

I'll take water with lemon on the side please, I said handing her back the menu. 

" I'll get that right away Ms." 

Thank you, Carmen, I said taking my phone out of my bag to check the time. 

Seeing my phone said it was 10:45, I was starting to wonder where the hell she was. I managed to drink all of my water and really had to use the restroom. Getting up I made my way to the bathroom, using the bathroom I washed my hands and looked in the mirror, damn I actually look sexy as hell in this outfit. I said aloud, thankful no one was in the bathroom with me to hear it. Snapping a picture quickly before walking out of the restroom to head back to the table, as I was walking to the table I noticed a man sitting with his back towards me, all I could see was his tattooed muscular arms and his braids. Looking around I still noticed no one was in the restaurant beside him and me along with the staff, reaching the table I began to talk but was instantly fumbling over my words as I made eye contact with this mystery man. 

Umm um excuse me sir, but I'm supposed to be meeting a Camara here. I said fidgeting with my phone.

Looking up from his phone, he closed out whatever app he was looking at and gave me his full attention.
