Chapter 6: Another hateful monday morning
Ring ring ring..... ring ring ring....
I pull a hand from under the cover and threw it on my phone stopping the awful noise.
Ring ring ring.....Ring ring ring....
"Ugh..."
'Who could be in the middle of the night.'
With my eyes closed I take the phone from the bedside table and answer with a groggy voice, barely audible.
"Hello..." and then I turn on my side, my phone under my ear and drift to lala land.
"Good morning sunshine." A man's voice rings in my ear.
I open my eyes just a slit still confused. Mostly asleep rather than awake.
"Time to wake up or else you'll be late for work." the voice says from the other end.
My eyes shoot wide and big like soccer balls at the word 'late'.
I get myself in a sitting position. Squint my eyes at my phone to see who's calling. End the call and go back to sleep.
A few minutes later...
Ring ring ring.....ring ring ring...
My phone is still in my hand. I pick up the call and say : "Uugghhh...."
"Wakey wakey sleepy head" The voice says and then I hear a "Pfffft.... It's 7:30 you're gonna be late for work...Haha."
"Whaaa... where...when..." my eyes flew open and I dart out of the bed tripping on my blanket and landing on the carpet with my elbows, my butt up in the air and my legs on the bed.
"Late, late...I'm gonna be late..." I panic and prepare to dash in the bathroom, my phone in my right hand when all of a sudden I hear a booming laughter.
"Pffftt...hahahaha hahhaha."
I put my phone to my ear and say " What's so funny?" annoyed and frowning.
"Ha ha ha..." the jerk still laughs.
After a few seconds he clears his trout.
"Ahem.....good morning sunshine. "
"Good morning my -" He cuts me off and says.
"Look at the time."
I look at the clock on the wall. It says 6:30. Than I look at my phone's clock..still 6:30.
'I can't believe this guy...'
"Are you out of your mind. Why did you call so early?" I say to him on an angry tone.
I'm not a monday person..of course I'm angry at him.
"It's not early. It's time for you to wake up and go to work." he says calmly on the other end.
"Today is monday....I never wake up at this our on a monday. I still have a some time to sleep."I whine my brows furrowed.
"You do now.." He says. " You should thank me for calling you. Like this you have enough time to prepare yourself and eat properly. Look how good of a friend I am. " He says in a calm manner." Aren't you lucky..huh?" than mumbles something that I don't understand.
"Sigh..." I sigh to myself not in the mood to argue so early. Not especially on a monday morning.
"Thank you oh great jer...err friend." I quickly correct myself. " Oh how lucky of me" I say in a tone full of sarcasm. To which he softly chuckles.
"You're welcome. " he says smiling.
"I'll let you do your thing and get ready. And don't even think about going back to bed."
" Yes mom." I reply with a small smile on my face.
I get up from the floor and straight into the bathroom, get ready for work, eat some light breakfast and out of the door.
I stop at the coffee shop near the office and grab a big coffee with milk, no sugar and arrive at the office 15 minutes before work starts.
Upon entering I hear some of my co-workers gasp and whisper among themselves.
"Whooaa...did the sun rise from the west this morning? How come miss Lewis is so early at the office on a monday morning?" one of them says.
"I don't know. Do you think an alien took over her body?" another joins the conversation.
"What? What's wrong with you? Did you drink the wrong coffee today?"
I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I arrived at my desk. I put my bag and my coffee away and take out my phone and text my Mystery Guy .
Me : "People think I'm an alien for arriving so early at the office today. :))))
It was worth it. thanks :* "
Mystery Guy: You're welcome.
Have a great day at work. :)
Me: Thanks. You too :)
I put my phone away, drink from my coffee and start preparing the necessary documents for the meeting later.
From the corner of my eye I spot Ryan with a cup of coffee in his hand.
As he approaches my desk he spots the cup of coffee on it and slows down a bit in his tracks but eventually takes confident steps toward me.
"Good morning." Ryan says.
"Good morning." I reply, a small smile on my lips.
An awkward silence follows after.
