I hear my alarm go off and I turn to my table and see my phone.
Its 7AM, it's also vibrating and I groan and turn back on my back and rub my eyes to take all the sand off.
I sigh and look up at the ceiling and throw my legs off the bed and let out another sigh. I get up and go to the bathroom and close the door and look in the mirror.
'I look like shit. Oh crap! I forgot to take off my make up last night' I stretch the bottom of my eyes. I stretch my cheeks 'I need a face mask or something'.
I take off my shirt and shorts and turn on the shower. I make sure the temperature is perfect and get in. I begin to shampoo my hair and wash it off and then some conditioner on my hair tips.
I take my green tea soap and squirt it on my loofah and begin to wash. I take my face wash and clean my face and try to take off all the makeup.
I take my towel and dry myself and my smaller towel and tie it around my hair to dry it.
I get out and see Felix lounging around my bed and laugh seeing him trying not to fall off by accident.
I chuckle and go to my closet and take out my black body fitted dress and my black pencils heels and put it on.
I take off the towel from my head.
I go to my makeup table and put on my eyeliner and some blush but I couldn't find the energy to put anything else. I take some foundation though to cover my wrinkles since crying last night took a huge toll on me. I check my phone again and see that its 7:30AM
I go out to the kitchen and my cat follows me and I take a bottle of vitamin water and take a sip of it.
I go to the living room and take my bag and take out my laptop.
I check to see my emails hoping for some updates at work but all I got was an email from Mr. Red. I open it and see that he had written
Dear Ms. Chapman, this is just a mail to say thank you. You have helped me and I'm sure that you can set Matthew straight and also I have another favor.
I scrunch my eyebrows and get a bit confused since it was never like Mr. Red to ask for favors unless it was important. I continue to read the mail.
I need you to bring Matthew with you to my house on Christmas so that he can meet his family.
This made no sense to me, why would Matthew not go to his parent's house on Christmas? I assume that maybe he hates his family, just like I do.
I think about it for some time and think maybe it's not such a bad idea to take him since he should meet his family.
I don't have plans anyway plus I would get a free meal out of it.
I write back an email and say that I accept and if he could write me his home address. I turn off the laptop and put it back in my bag and get off the sofa.
I go the kitchen and put some food for Felix and give him a kiss goodbye and then head out the door.
I get out of the elevator and wave a goodbye to Jack and head out. I look up and see that the skies are clear and I hope that it stays that way; I walk to my car and get in and head on to work.
As I get to the office I see people running around and shouting and I take a deep breath and walk to my office.
"Hey Cat!" I see Jenna calling to me from her desk outside my office I smile.
I walk up to her and she pulls me in for a hug and I hug back "hey I tried to call, why didn't you pick up?" then it hits me
"Oh shit!" I exclaim loud enough for a passing by co-worker to get scared
"What happened?" Jenna asks scared as well
"I forgot my phone at home" I say and we both walk into my office and I shut the door
"Hey I can get it for you" she says in her sweet charming voice that I adored
"Are you sure?" I ask
"Well ya, I mean I am your assistant anyway. Also your best friend and I know you need your phone to work so yes I will bring it"
I thank her and she heads off and I wave goodbye to her.
I head to my desk and sit on my seat and put my bag beside me on my desk and take out my laptop and begin to do a bit of work.
I hear shuffling outside and I assume that it's Jenna and I wait for her to come in but then Matthew pops in.
Hey Cat" Matt says in a happy tone that actually might be a bit too happy for how I'm feeling right now
"Hey Matt' I say back in a tone that is more sad than I thought it would be
"Whoa, you alright? You look like shit and also how's your hand doing?"
I sigh and think back about last night and say "I'm fine Matthew. You shouldn't be using such profanity in my fucking office. My hand is fine, thank you for asking" I say in a neutral tone which I think catches Matthew off guard.
Maybe I was a bit too rough on him earlier. But it wasn't his fault that I was in such a bad mood, it was that douche, Alec's fault.
Matthew just nods and leaves the room and after a few minutes Jenna comes back and brings my phone with her.
"Hey what happened to Matthew? And also your hand" Jenna asks pointing to my hand
"Last night I got angry thinking about Alec. I threw a glass of water on the ground and while picking it up, I accidentally cut my hand. And I'm still a bit upset so I screamed at Matthew" I say while looking down feeling guilty.
Jenna sighs but puts her hand on my shoulder and says "I'll tell him, and you should rest that hand. I hope you put some cream so it doesn't get infected"
I nod and she smile and heads back out and before leaving she turns to me. She winks while grinning, I smile back and continue with my work.
While working I hear Matt and Jenna talking and I hope Jenna isn't wasting time and chatting for too long.
I get up and go to my door and open it. I see Matthew and Jenna at their desks and chatting by turning their chairs to each other.
When they notice me they quickly turn back to look at their laptops.
"Jenna I would like the file that has all the designs of the Company's website from last year" I say looking at Jenna. She nods and gets up and walks behind her and starts looking through the cabinet's drawers for the file.
I turn to Matt and say "and Matt I would like you to get coffee for you, Jenna and I hand him my card.
He stands up and looks down at me and says "yes ma'am, anything else?"
I turn to Jenna and ask "hey Jenna do you want breakfast?"
She turns holding some files and replies saying "ya ill have a vegetable sandwich"
I nod and turn back to matt and say "I won't have anything" I hear Jenna cough and I turn to her.
She says "Catherine you are eating. She'll have a chicken bagel"
I sigh and smile at Matt
I say "and get something for yourself" he smiles and nods and heads out of the office.
I sit in my office and look through the designs; I finish my bagel as well.
My door opens and Matt comes in holding a plastic bag with a box and some napkins and utensils inside and a cup of coffee.
He puts the bag on my desk and hands me the cup
"What did you get for yourself?" I ask
"I got a chicken bagel as well" he says in a silent tone and then quickly walks out the room.
I think maybe he is pretty freaked out since I yelled at him in the morning.
I work for a few more hours but when it becomes around 1pm I hear my door open. I look up to see Matt walk in and he comes up to my desk.
"Hey Cat?" I look up and see that he looks nervous and scared so I cut him a bit of slack and say in a softer tone
"Ya sorry about today Matt. I'm tired and I don't feel that good" I see that his expression becomes for relieved
He asks "Ya Jenna told me and I'm sorry too. I actually wanted to ask if you wanted to go out with me."
I stare at him and he realizes his mistake and says "I mean for lunch! I'll buy it...since I was rude this morning"
I smile and say "ya sure we can go out for lunch" he smiles his goofy grin.
He continues to tell me about this cute café downstairs and I think 'this guy is something else'
