Anyways enjoy ;)

Sahana P.O.V. (Thursday)

My alarm on my phone woke me up in an instant.

I shut it off and pulled my sheets away from me while Monty came and jumped up on the bed. I sighed, "Really Monty? Ugh." I tried to fix the sheets while he was patiently sitting and waiting, but in the very middle of the bed so you could imagine the difficulty throughout the process.

I somehow finished, coming out with a decent product and walked to my bathroom signaling Monty to come along as I heard his nails clicking on the wood floor. I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

It's been a couple of days to almost a week since Jai asked to be friends.

Ever since then, I've been trying to avoid him.

Wtf am I supposed to say to him?

I patted my face dry with a towel and shook my head, "Don't worry about it too much, Sahana."

You may be thinking about Monty. What would he do at home while I'm out for so long?

Here is a little interesting fact about him. He isn't like other dogs. In fact, he likes being alone. Even when I am home, he just chills in another room and comes to me if he wants too. Therefore, I don't even see him as a dog, more as a cute little introverted baby.

I gave Monty breakfast and made mine. I settled down on the dining table and we both silently ate. After we finished, I filled up his water bowl and went to my bedroom to change.

I decided to go shopping this weekend because most of my clothes are getting too small or have stains on them. I reached for my phone that I left on my nightstand and texted Tara.

Me: Hey do I have any important things today?

Tara: Nah u good

Me: Are you sure?

Tara: No I haven't even looked at ur schedule yet 😗

Me: Wtf Tara ur supposed to be my secretary why aren't u doin ur job??

Tara: hehe sorry just bring an extra pair of presentable clothes with you no biggie see u at work ❤

Me: ur not getting a heart back 😒

I threw my phone onto my bed and looked through my closet, pulling out several tops and blouses. I set them all on my bed, staring while tapping a finger on my chin. "Hmm."

I came to the decision of wearing a simple graphic tee that displayed the words, Shuh Duh Fuh Cup.

I laughed while putting it on, "It gets me every time." I smiled.

Walking towards my dresser, I pulled the drawer out, revealing all my comfy pants: Leggings, sweatpants, joggers, pajama pants, etc.

My eyes headed towards the leggings and I extended my hands to grab it, but without control, my hand grabbed the joggers. I stared at the bundle of material in my hands, "Well, I guess I'm wearing joggers then." I shrugged and put one leg through each hole and brought it up to my hips.

I tied the joggers' laces, so it wouldn't be too lose and unintentionally pants me without anyone else doing it.

To accessorize, I wore my precious necklace and finished getting ready. I walked out to leave but was stopped by Monty.

He gave me a look of disapproval, "No, no you are not going to walk out of this apartment looking like a hobo, go back inside and change," is probably what he would've said if he could.

Still, I got the message, "Ugh, finee." I threw my head back in annoyance and walked back to my bedroom. I came back with a pair of leggings on and saw Monty sitting in the same spot as he was before.

We both stared at each other for a little bit, until he walked away indicating his approval, and cueing me to get the hell out before I get late. I shot my arm up and back down in success, "Yes, finally!!" I got all the things I needed including the extra pair of clothes and closed the door behind me.

As I was fast-walking towards the elevator, I realized something. "Oh, shit! I forgot!" I ran back to my apartment and opened the door, to see Monty sitting, waiting for me. "Hehe, my boy." I picked his enormous body up and kissed his nose. "I love you, bye." I said setting him down and rushing out the door once again.

I ran to the elevator and slammed the down button repeatedly until I saw the doors finally open and walked in.

I sighed in relief, "Finally, piece of shit."

The doors opened once again and I walked out into the garage towards my car. I glanced at my watch, and I knew I was getting late, "Shit, shit!!" I whispered in frustration.

I rummaged through my purse, "What the hell? Where are my keys?!" I said continuing to struggle. While still heading towards my car since it was parked all the way at the end and shuffling through my purse, I didn't realize how fast I was walking until my head hit into something hard.

I immediately put a hand onto my forehead and started to rub it, "Oww!!" I sharply inhaled squeezing my eyes shut, head dipped down, facing the ground.

"Oh my god, are you okay?!" I heard a deep voice and felt a pair of big hands grip my shoulders, causing me to suddenly jolt my head up, hitting the person's chin, "Ow!!" I heard.

I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was, but he was faced the other way bending down, only showing part of his back but mostly, his ass.

"Woah." I whispered to myself.

I truly did not know why I said that.

I was shot back into reality once I realized the man was still in pain, his groans became louder and louder. I ran up to him and bend down slightly next to him, planting my hand on his back. "Hey, are you ok?! I am so sorry, I am so sorry, are you ok??" I saw his head go up and down.

I sighed in relief, "Are you sure you're ok Mr? You aren't going to sue me or anything right? Are you like the CEO of a big company or something? Because then I am totally screwed. I mean can't we talk this out or something? You don't really have to sue me, do you? This was all just a complete accident!!" I said with a worried tone.

I then heard a small chuckle coming from him, and he shook his head, "No, no I am not going to do any such thing." He rose himself up, making me do the same. The man was rubbing his chin and then looked at me.

"But do I really look like a CEO?" he smiled.

God that smile, it could solve the world's problems.

Since he faced me now, I could have a better look at him..

The first thing that caught my eye was in fact, his eyes.

From far away it looked like they only displayed one beautiful green color, but once you get closer, small glimpses of blue and yellow pierce through, adding to its already alluring nature. Despite that, I could somehow see through them.

It was like he had nothing to hide, an open book.

His eyelashes naturally were curled up and long. "Are his eyelashes that damn long? Jeez." I whispered to myself, but thankfully, the man couldn't hear.

Light brown curls sprung out of his head while the sides presented a nice fade. His hair looked extremely soft.

He must have a great conditioner.

I would know.

And, he was able to maintain it all.

The rest of his face was no surprise.

Nicely structured, dark, defined eyebrows, you know the usual.

He also had freckles, which were oddly very hard to notice.

I thought of a way to explore more, "Oh crap there's a wasp!" I said pointing to nowhere.

The man turned his face, causing my mouth to gape completely.

"OH HELL NO, WHERE??" he said looking around to where I was pointing.

An exposed jawline that was so sharp, I could barely touch it and would get cut.

You may think I am exaggerating, but you never saw him.

The man turned back to face me, and I quickly closed my mouth, secretly wiping a little slobber off. "I couldn't see it. Will it come back? Because I am terrified of them." he said.

I noticed he was wearing a suit and tie, but it wasn't a regular looking one. The tie had bright patterns, and he secretly wore suspenders under his coat which made me slightly smile.

I wonder what his job is if he's going in looking like that?

"Oh, um I guess it's gone now." I smiled. He sighed in relief, "Oh thank godd!!" he smiled back. But then I realized, he looked familiar.

Where have I seen him before?

We just stood there awkwardly for a couple of minutes. I completely forgot that I was now VERY late to work. But at the same time, I'm like the founder/CEO so like....fight me.

While I was staring at the ground, my phone suddenly started buzzing like crazy.

Tara: Where are u???

Tara: Sahanaaaa

Tara: Where the hell are u???

Tara: u know there is something in ur life called work right???

Tara: u know u could've told me u weren't gonna come to work

Tara: oh maybe that's why u asked if u had anything important today huh

Tara: wait r u sick??

Tara: why didn't u flippin tell me?!?!

Tara: do u want me to come over and send u some soup or smth? I don't rlly know what to get u, despite me being ur secretary which is lowkey embarrassing

Tara: plz call or text me right away when u see thissss

Tara: wait ur not dead right???

I gasped, "Oh, shit!" I looked at the time on my phone: 8:35. "Oh, no, no, no, no, NOO!! I'm dead!!" I said while rushing to my car, leaving the man behind.

"Wait, where are you going?" the man said walking with me. "I don't know if you could tell, but I have to go to work." I said increasing my pace and gesturing the outfit.

"Wait, stop."

The man said grabbing my wrist, causing me to shiver and turn towards his direction.

"What?"

He looked me up and down, "You are going to wear that, to work?" and pointed at my outfit.

I nodded and rolled my eyes in frustration, "Yes I am, now can you please let go of me so I can go to work, looking like this?"

He let go and I continued my way to the car. Still rummaging through my purse, struggling to find my keys, I finally reached it. "Where are my flippin keys??"

I was about to just turn my purse over and dump it all out, in defeat.

But then I heard the entrance door to the garage out from the elevator, open. Ignoring it, I looked everywhere around me. I shoved my hands in my pockets, feeling all around but it was no good.

"Um, are you ok?" I heard the man say. "No, I can't find my keys." I turned to him worried. "Oh, no." he said walking towards me. "Where was the last place you remembered it being?" he asked. "Um, my counter in the kitchen?" I said. "Ok, do you think you should go back and see if you forgot it there?" I shook my head, "No, I remember taking it with me when I left." "Oh um ok, let me help you." The man said.

All of a sudden,

"Sahana? Kai? What are you guys doing?" I immediately turned to see Jai standing, looking confused at the two of us.

"Oh, she just couldn't find her keys, so I am helping her Jai." The man said.

After hearing that Jai reached inside his pocket,

"Oh,"

he then pulled out my keys,

"You mean these?"
