Love at First Sight

Chapter 1: Alyssa Lewis

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

With a groan, I lean over and turn my alarm off on my phone.

A calloused hand rest on my hip, caressing my skin.

"Morning." Damon says, laying his forehead against my back.

"Morning baby."

I turn over and softly kiss him, giggling at him wrinkling his nose up.

"Your breath smells so bad." He says, chuckling.

"Shut up." I mush his face away and get out the bed.

He laughs and turns onto his back.

"Told you not to eat those pickles at 2 am." He says, laughing and rubbing his eyes.

I flick him off and laugh.

I grab my bra and panties off my neatly stacked scrubs and go to the bathroom, starting the shower.

I step in, the warm water falling down my face.

I look down at my hands, watching as the water falls between my fingers.

Something is missing.

I just don't know what it is.

I'm happy, I swear I am but I just feel weird.

Like something is supposed to be here with me.

Or is it someone?

Nah, who would it even be? My boyfriend is right there in bed.

I sigh and lather my Dove soap bar, spreading it all over my skin.

I rinse off and step out the shower, wrapping a towel around my body and around my curls.

"I used the other shower, you were taking to long." Damon says, walking into the bathroom, adjusting his tie.

I look him over, noticing every detail of him.

I love him, I really do.

Is it enough though?

I nod and continue my routine, before throwing on my scrubs.

I lean up and kiss his cheek, hugging him to me as he tightens his arm around my waist.

"Have a great day, baby, see you later. I love you."

"See you later, sweetheart. I love you too." He says, his mouth full of cereal.

I laugh at his chunky cheeks, I grab my jug of water out the fridge before walking up the hall.

I grab my keys off the hook and head out the door.

I hit the button on my car, starting it up as I exited the elevator.

Glancing at the clock on the dash, I have 20 minutes to spare before I have to clock in.

Starbucks it is.

After grabbing me and my coworker drinks from the cafeteria attached to the hospital I work at, I get on the elevator and hit 8.

Walking off the elevator, I tap the code into the back door and walk down the long hall to my office.

"Morning Lyssa." Bre says, sticking her head out of a room she's restocking for clinic.

"Hey, Bre."

"Morning girlie." T says, turning on the hall laptops.
