In the Office (ManxTransWoman)

Chapter 17

{ New Rules ~ Dua Lipa }

Olivia's pov:

"One, one, one

Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love, he doesn't love me
So I tell myself, I tell myself..." I sang along with Dua Lipa as I cooked myself blueberry pancakes.

I flipped the sloppy, slightly burned pancake before dropping low and twerking like I tranformed into the ultimate tennis goddess, Serena Williams.

I scrambled back up when I remembered what I was doing. I grimaced slightly and placed my smoking pancake on a plate that held my other failed pancakes. However, I quickly went in my inner Beyoncé beast mode when my favorite part of the song was coming up.

"One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him

I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself..."

I finished my performance with a sassy hairflip and a bitchy mean mug look on my face.

"Bravo! Now, turn around and tell everyone on Snapchat good morning!"

"DAANNNYYYY, DON'T YOU DARE!" I screamed as I rushed for him.

"Too late!" he giggled as he ran away from me.

Danny was too busy laughing to pay attention to his surroundings and ran right into a wall. I immediately stopped chasing him and proceeded to laugh my ass off.

"Damn fucking wall.....all up in my way." Danny grumbled as he rubbed his nose.

"You're such an idiot. What are you even doing here?" I asked, rolling my eyes at him.

"First of all, rude. Second of all, why do I need a reason to show up at your house?" Danny sassed as he walked back to the kitchen.

I shook my head as I followed him. Danny was inspecting my pancakes, making disapproving noises. I smacked his head and shoved him away from my breakfast.

"Don't come uninvited to my house and then disrespect my cooking skills."

"I can't disrespect what you don't have."

"Get out."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After eating a last minute breakfast at McDonald's, Danny and I went shopping. This time around, I made sure to keep Danny in line with a strict budget. Neal can thank me later.

"I wish Madison was here. She would've let me get those shoes in all five colors." Danny whined, sending me a glare.

"Well, Madison's not here so hush. Poor southern belle has to suffer the first day back at school blues." I replied.

"Gross! Teaching is one thing but kindergarten? Hell to the no!" Danny exclaimed.

"Somebody has to do it. Besides, Madison truly enjoys it." I replied.

Danny made a disgusted face, making me chuckle and roll my eyes. He's so dramatic.

Suddenly, Danny's watch started to make an alarm clock sound. He sighed and turned it off. I looked at him curiously, waiting for an answer. He turned to me with a guilty smile.
