Minerva POV

I was having a bad day today! First, the stupid alarm clock didnt go off, so when I woke up, it was already 10 o' clock!

That meant, I had quater of an hour to get everything ready, and be at the office. How am I meant to do that, Ive got to do too much in too little time. So, as I rushed to my shower, I forgot to take a towel with me, so I ran back out, but left the water running, and ahhhhh!

When I finally drove into work I told the boss what happened, and she said to invest in a new alarm clock, but didnt take it too seriously, thankfully!

I was rushing down to my office, when I slipped. I prepared myself for the ground, but it never came, instead, a pair of strong arms caught me, and pulled me back up into a standing position.

"Thanks....." I said, when I realised, I didnt actually know this person!

"Zuri, Im new here" he said, as he smiled. He really was gorgeous, Oh well, he probably has a wife.

"Well, thank you, Zuri," I said as I started walking to my office.

Only then did I remember I was carrying my notepad, but dropped it when I tripped. I dashed quickly out into the hall way, and saw it. Unfortunately, it was in Zuri's hands!

"Ermmm, excuse me," I said, as he looked up, "have you seen my notebook? I think I dropped it out here when I tripped," I explained.

"Oh, so your the great writer here?" He asked with a smile. "Here it is, and I wasnt joking about the fact your a great writer." He said, as he turned and walked away.

Istood there for a while, momentarily amazed, had someone just complimented me?

When I snapped out of my reverie, I walked back into my office, and saw a number on the corner of a page, and I was sure it wasnt there this morning.

Must be going mad, there is no way he would give me his number, I barely know him!

All that I actually know about him, is that his name is Zuri, he's new here, and is verry gorgeous!

Whilst I was typing out a story on my computer, I realised I had been writing Zuri at the beginning of each line, Oooopps !

Better delete that before anyone see's.

"And this is Minerva Hadley's office" I heard a voice announce, just then, the door opened and it was my boss giving Zuria tour fo the building. Sugar, he might see his name on it, so I minimized the page, adn turned around and said Hi.
