Fire & Ice

When Deja woke up in the morning she felt cold. She looked outside it was still raining. She got out of bed and checked the thermostat it was set to 60 degrees.

"ONYX!" Deja turned the temp back. Onyx was up in a second.

"What happened?" Deja glared at her. Onyx crept back to the couch and hide under the covers, from Deja's wrath.

"Never mind I have to get ready and leave early so I can pick up a phone don't do that again or you're sleeping with the fish." Deja walked back into her bedroom and got dressed her clothes from last night were soaked from the walk home.

She was glad that she had extra clothes for work.

She left and grabbed an umbrella from the corner.

On her way to the store, she felt a chill in the air. She turned around Soren was a little ways behind her he was on his phone. She giggled. "Why doesn't he have an umbrella? he's so silly.''

"Goodmorning Mr. Soren you look a bit wet." Soren looked up in confusion.

He smiled and put his phone away.

"Good morning Deja I wasn't expecting to see you here mind I join you under your umbrella?"

"No, not at all." Soren had to bend over to be underneath her umbrella. "Here you hold it I'm too short." She handed the umbrella to him.

"Do you live around here?" They started walking.

"Yeah, I live just a few blocks from here."

"That's convenient to live that close to work, but why are you out so early?" They were getting closer to the phone store.

"Oh, I needed to get a new phone my old one broke." She could see the store now.

"Oh, I was wondering because work doesn't start for a while." Soren seemed different today he was more relaxed than usual. They stopped in front of the store,

"Well, I guess I'll see you at work." He gave Deja her umbrella.

"Yeah see you in a bit Soren." Deja glanced at Soren before entering the store he had a pleasant smile on his face.

Deja bought a phone with a dragon on the case.

"Should I call Drake or wait until I get there.....wait I never told him I was getting a new phone he must be wondering where I am but then again Onyx would have told him if he stopped by." Deja left the phone store. She put her phone in her pocket and grabbed her umbrella. "At least it stopped raining." Work was only a few blocks away.

Deja entered the building a few minutes later. She didn't see Soren anywhere in the lobby. "He must be working." Deja checked her phone it was only, 7:30 she had 10 minutes before Drake would be here.

Deja got on the elevator and went up to Drake's office.

Deja entered his office. She got an idea.

She walked over to his chair and sat down in it it was so comfy.

She closed her eyes and leaned back. The door opened and Drake walked in, Deja was startled she fell out of the chair in the prosses. She stood up she had an embarrassed look on her face. Drake was chuckling.

"What were you doing." Drake walked over to Deja. Deja stepped away from his desk.

"I-I was just sitting in your chair it looked comfy, wait you're not supped to be here for another 10 minutes." She was blushing. Drake sat down in his chair.

"Well, I saw you come in and I figured I'd scare you."

"Oh...so what am I doing today for ya, Drake."

"Well, your working for Brandon until lunch then I'm going to a meeting. He picked up some files off his desk and handed them to her.

"Go file these while your down there." She grabbed them.

"I'd see ya at lunch Drake." She opened the door and was about to leave.

Drake made sure Deja had left and he opened up candy crash on his phone the phone's volume was turned up all the way for some reason.....and the music from the game blared out Drake turned the volume down as fast as he could. He looked around thinking someone might have heard it but it was silent.....then the door slammed open.

"Are you playing Candy crash?" Drake almost dropped his phone.

"NO IM NOT!!!" Deja giggled and left.

Deja went downstairs she saw Soren he was working on some paperwork, he looked confused. She smiled he looked so cute when he's confused. She walked over by him.

"Watcha doing." Soren looked at her.

"Enjoying the view." He lifted one of his eyebrows. Deja blushed. She smacked the back of the head.

"That hurt? meany. " He rubbed the back of his head.

All the female workers glared at Deja.

"How could you hit poor Soren what did he do to you?"

"Yeah, that's coworker harassment!" Soren looked a little annoyed. Brandon heard the commotion and came over to see what was going on.

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Brandon Deja hit Soren for no reason and hurt him."

"Hey, we were just messing around."

"Ok everyone get back to work." Brandon looked a bit annoyed. He looked at Soren and Deja who was halfway out of there.

"Deja go and type down all the notes you took I have it set up where you won't have to leave your desk from now on it in the spare room."

She walked over to a partly empty room beside Brandon's it had a desk with a laptop and a desk lamp. She sat down at the desk. "How the heck do I work this thing?"

A few hours later Deja finally figured it out and was typing away. She finished with her work early and had an hour before lunch so she laid her head down on the desk and took a nap.

Drake left his office to go get Deja and leave for the meeting. When he got down to the lobby he didn't see her anywhere Brandon got off of the elevator.

"Hey, Brandon have you see Deja?" Brandon's eyes widened.

"Um yeah... I forgot, she fell asleep on her desk so I left her alone since she finished her work but I forgot to wake her up.'' Drake got on the elevator, the elevator stopped on level 20, Drake got off and walked over to the spare room he slowly opened the door, Deja was still asleep. Drake walked over to her he bent down, he pushed the hair away from her face. "She looks so cute when she sleeps.....wait that just sounds creepy." He leaned down and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Thank you, Deja, you have brightened my life so much." Deja opened her eyes.

"What did you say?" Drake blushed and turned around.

"I said its time to go." Deja grabbed her phone and stood up.

"I'm Drake lets go!" The meeting was like the last one but without the weirdo. Drake dropped Deja off at her apartment.

"Deja Ill be out of town for a week."

"Well have a safe trip see ya in a week." Deja waved bye to him and entered the apartment complex.

Work went as usual for a week Soren tried to flirt with Deja the entire week. On the day Drake was supposed to be back he never came to work Deja asked what happened to Drake he said he stayed a few extra days. Deja felt a little sad that he hadn't come back yet so when she got home she thought of calling Drake. "He might be busy I don't want to disturb him." She felt lonely now that Onyx had moved out and had her own apartment close to Terrin.

"I know I have tomorrow off so I'll go into the mountains."
