I get to my apartment, I'm really tired. I kick me heels of hang my coat then walk straight to the bedroom.
I stand in front of the mirror as I unbutton my white Shirt and remove my pencil skirt.

I stand in front of the mirror in only my panties and bra- I remove that too, then go straight to the bathroom to take a nice worm bath.

I lay in the hot water. Each time I close my eyes the only person I'd see was my boss Chris.
Somehow I remembered small details about him like the small mole on his cheek or his thick long lashes or when each time he laughed he rested his hand on his chest or the way he talked and didn't notice that he had a bit of whip cream on his nose.
I really shouldn't think about him like this. He's probably in a good relationship, because why would a man like him ever be single ?

All this thinking gives me butterflies

❄️

It was time for dinner but I wasn't really hungry, I mean I could decorate my apartment, I usually never do it because of how busy I am but I'm not doing anything right now.
I go get the Christmas decorations and start decorating.

My apartment is small but cozy. One bedroom, one bathroom a small walk in closet the living room is big and my kitchen is an open kitchen. I have to go down stairs when I share my laundry room with my neighbours.

I put up the Christmas tree finding all my old ornaments I painted with my family.
I miss them a lot. After my older sister got married and moved to Sweden somehow the whole family grew apart. My younger sister became an doctor and is very busy with her life, my parents are travelling all over Europe and my older sister the one that got married well he's has her own family now.

I do talk to my parents every now and then but still miss them a lot.

I decorate the tree then decided to watch a movie before I go to sleep. Home alone best Christmas movie ever.
Somehow I relate to the kid being alone on Christmas not fun but also not the worst.
I don't have to worry about buying anymore gifts I can treat myself with anything.

Half way though the movie my phone started beeping I checked and see there are bunch of notifications on Instagram I check and see that Jack had posted a picture with his girlfriend.... What was her name ?
The picture of the two couples wearing matching pyjamas sitting in front of a fireplace with there dog.
The captain read : "what other way to spend Christmas then with the people you love"

Ugh I cringe so cheesy and basic but at the same time I want this so badly.

All night I kept thinking about doing something different this year maybe find a Boyfriend or just friends don't have many of those, I could call my family we all could buy tickets and go somewhere.
I don't know what I'm going to do but this Christmas is going to be different.

Shortly after my overthinking I fall asleep.

❄️

Next morning I wake up and make myself a quick cup of coffee. I put on my office clothes.
Today I wore a black pencil skirt pink button up Shirt a black coat on top and put my hair in a ponytail.

I check my phone seeing a notification pop it was a reminder that I had to go to the doctor today not just any doctor but a gynaecologist.
I've been ignoring this for a long time but it's finally time I go I'm a 24 year old woman this is normal.

But my appointment was 2 o'clock I still have five hours. I'll go to work then just drive to the doctors. no problem.

❄️

I arrive at work feeling sick to my stomach for a wired reason I was worried for my appointment. My boss clearly saw that by my face expression

"Everything okay ?" He asks as I looked down at my phone.

"Yeah" I answer with a smile

"Are you sure ?" He asks

"Mhm" I assure him.

"Okay. Y/n can you tell me when my next meeting starts ?" Mr. Evans asks

"Yes it start in 20 min" I say "would you like to have a cup of coffee before you go ?" I ask

"Yeah that would be great oh and get a cup of green tea too" my boss says.

I nod and leave his office

I go get the coffee and tea then open the office door. I don't walk in because i see one of the front desk girl standing in the office

It's strange seeing her here her break didn't start until another 30 min
I knock on the door to let them both know I was entering the room.

"You should leave" my boss says as the girls rolled her eyes and walks out giving a death stare "here your coffee and tea sir" I hand him both the cups

"Oh the tea isn't for me, it was for your " he says with a smile "it help calm downs you look stressed" he says
I lightly smile and thank him a I take the tea cup and drink it. He was absolutely right it dose help me calm down.

"Y/n what was that girls name that was in my office earlier ?" Mr. Evans asks out of the blue.
He's probably also going to ask for her number and her dating status then before I know it they will both be dating and posting stupid pictures on Instagram with the caption: "I'll only kiss you under the mistletoe" or "she makes my heart melt"
I take a few seconds then answer

"Oh that was Rose" I answer "would you like to have her file ? " I ask thinking he'd like to know more about her.

"No it's fine, but is she good at her work ?"
Mr. Evans asks

"Well she's fine, she has worked here for a few months now" I say

"Well I wan't  to fire her" Mr. Evans says

I was surprised by his words.

"Sir if You don't mind me asking, why ?" I say standing up

"Very unprofessional, she was asking me out" Mr. Evans says "This isn't a dating app, this is a work place I don't think it's appropriate she goes around asking everyone out. I know I said I wouldn't change anything but i feel very uncomfortable around her"

I was surprised by him but I nod and start writing the Email that I have to send to Rosa.

After writing the Email I let Mr. Evans know his meeting starts in 5 minutes

"Y/n I would appreciate it if you'd join me in this meeting" Mr. Evans says

"Um sir I would come, but I can't" I say

"Why ?" He asks

"I did send an email about it" I say

"Oh right your going to the doctor 2 o'clock. Sorry I forgot, you should get going then" Mr. Evans says
As I'm walking away I hear him yell "good luck"

I just shake my head, let out a light laugh and keep walking.
