I was woken up by the alarm.
Ugh! I didn't wanna leave my bed..
I rolled side to side and snuggled  in the bed sheets again.

8:00 AM
wtf! it's 8am already? I rushed out of my bed and took a quick shower.

I went to kitchen. It smelled delicious.
Where's Riley? I took a  deep breath wondering where she could be.

On the kitcgen counter, I saw a plate of pancakes and a glass of juice.
Oh, there was also a paper on the counter.

OMG- she just arrived here and had to go back. God bless her mom :(

The rasberry pancakes were really delicous. I looked at the wall clock.

F! it's 8:20 already .

I gulped the juice quickly and went to my room back and my eyes wandered
around in the wardrobe.

Shorts? no.  pajamas? no  jeans? no.

I rolled my eyes knowing exactly what I'm gonna wear so I pulled out a small box from my wardrobe.

I opened it. There was a white flannel blouse, a mid-thigh black skirt and a 4" red shoes.

My mom gave it to me as a birthday present last year. She thought that I would need it one day. I should thank my mom for this.

I wore it and stared at myself in the mirror. I didn't know that I was this beautiful. My long wave curly brown hair, light skin, ohh but wait!!

This outfit was too showing off and it was like I was trying to impress the boss.

Unfortunately, I only had one work oufit so yeah no choice.

I glimpsed at my phone screen.
It's 8:45 AM!!!!! already?

Why do I always had to be late?

I sighed and walked out of my apartment.

I grabbed a cab. I let go of my breath.
Pheww.... finally.

*****

"Ms. Ms.", The driver called me.

"umm.. what?"

"Ms. there's a traffic so you'll have to wait for like an hour. If you have time, you can wait. If you're late, give me only the half of the fees.

WHAT? I yelped and gave him 20$ and got out.

Jesus!why I had to walk at my first day of work? Fuck traffic

After walking for 7 or 8 miles, I arrived. It's 9:30 AM- Crap

~~~~~~

"I'm sorry, sir", I gasped.

Shawn looked annoyed. He didn't say even a word. He kept working with papers.

I was sweating. The thoughts- Am I gonna be fired? Shawn is annoyed? He looks cute even when he's annoyed. Breathe in and out. It's gonna be fine.

Finally he said, "You must pay back for being late."

I shrugged my left shoulder showing I didn't know how to pay back.

"A dinner with me."

Did I hear it right? I heared it with my ears.

A dinner? What does it mean? He likes me? Am I this beautiful? He's asking me out? He wants me?

Crap!- no more thoughts !

"What? a dinner?", I raised an eyebrow, giving a confused look.

Shawn smirked at me.

And Shawn fixed his tie tidily while saying,"Well, a punishment dinner, not a d.."

"not a date. I know. B-but how?", I finished his sentence.

He went on using his laptop.
He didn't bother looking up at me.

"When?", I coughed.

he said abruptly,  "7"

I rolled my eyes then walked out of his room and slammed it shut.

I leaned on the door, sighed heavily..

What's his punishment plan?
