Nolan~
I was late. I waited and waited but no taxi had shown up so I was now running over to work like a mouse running away from a cat.
After almost getting hit by a car, I push open the doors and walk in.
When I push the door to my boss's room, I'm a mess, the bow untied, my hair probably looked like I just came out of a tornado and some of my buttons were untied.
I smooth out my shirt and and clear my throat so the asshole-my boss- would look at me
"Good morning,sir" I say with a poker face, glad he couldn't see my hands shaking behind my back.
"Nolan,you're late."he says as though he was the one who had to wait in the scorching sun for half an hour waiting for a damn taxi to stop."what's the excuse this time? 'But sir! My my car stopped working' 'It wasn't my fault! My alarm didn't ring'" he says in a mocking high notched tone.
I clear my throat again-mostly to gain clear my thoughts- before saying "I was waiting for a taxi but none stopped for me so I had to walk to work"
"That's not my problem you should've ran!" he yells " I had documents you had to finish, but you weee too busy sleeping"
"I wasn't sleeping I was-"
"Don't make me hear those cheap excuses." He says easing an arm "I'm sorry Nolan but this isn't working anymore"
"Im sorry sir, but the company's not so close from home so its hard to get there on time"
"Exactly" he says gruffly "that's why you're fired"
I stare at him for a second my mind not really understanding what he had just told me "I-but.." I mage to get out before losing it "I've been doing everything you ask of me perfectly! I get I get late every day but that's because of the place, I still do all my work!"
"I said you're fired kid. Go find another job that's closer to home or something, you're dismissed."
I walk out , my face blank my emotions are drowning in each other but it's when I get outside that I finally break.
It's noon but the storm clouds make it look like it was late. Rain is pouring down heavily, but I couldn't care less. I wanted to go home, cry myself exhausted on my bed and drink until I'm too drunk to stay awake anymore.
Forget waiting for a taxi , that shit just made me lose my job, I was going home on foot.

I think I might fly away.
Despite being noon,the sky was dark as fuck and the rain was pouring so heavily I was pretty sure it could break the window of a car.
The raincoat I have on isn't doing shit to protect me from the rain and my umbrella keeps on threatening to fly away.
I run under the rain, hoping I could make it to the other end of the street without flying away like a leaf in a hurricane. Out of nowhere, some  dude runs into me, hard.
Nolan
Suddenly, I run into a brick wall.
No actually, make that a brick man.
The guy I had just slammed into catches me by my wait just as I was slipping about to fall on my ass.
I look up at him and,my lord is he gorgeous. Dark hair with deep blue eyes, so tall I had to break my neck to look up at him and muscles so hard he could break my arm with barely two fingers.
Thank god it's raining, otherwise he would've seen me crying like a toddler.
"Sorry" I mumble standing straight again.
"Don't worry about it ,it's pretty dark today anyway." He answers slipping his hand off from around my wait.
He stands there for a second looking at me head to toe as if memorizing every detail of me.
Then his phone rings. He answers and walks away, but not before flashing me a smile.
