Get Lucky

Chapter one: Brand New Day

It was a great morning to start a brand new life. The sun is about to rise and the birds are already singing outside. A vast amount of cumulus clouds sheathe the sky, a good sign that it is indeed going to be a good day.

Kagura Kagewaki groaned realizing it was morning and had no idea why she was laying on the floor. She shivered as a cold breeze brushed through her bare back. She was naked.
"What the fuck happened last night," she thought noticing a stray bra that was draped over her beige couch.
She sat up and flinched when she felt a sharp throb on her head.
"Shit! I'm going to be late for my first day!" she immediately got up and ran upstairs to her bathroom.

The house once belonged to her parents. It was built to sustain Kagura and her two siblings, Kanna and Byakuya. It was a good size but now that it's only Kagura living in the house, it's too big for her so she decided to put it out in the market and in the mean time she's on a hunt for a much smaller place. Kagura's parents would not have approved of Kagura putting the house for sale, but she had no other choice. Kagura left home at an early age due to college and since then she rarely spent time home, leaving her mother and younger siblings with their abusive father to themselves. Up to this day, she regret not staying with them and accuse herself of being a coward for running away.

"Dammit! Who goes drinking when one knows tomorrow is her first day at work!" She cursed at herself while she turned the shower knob 'warm'

"Atleast work is not that far and I'll probably make it in time." her head still throb from her obvious hang over.

"Ugh! This is pathetic!" she didn't plan to show up at her first day at work hang over and not just hang over, she guessed that she got too shitfaced last night that she don't even remember a thing.

"Yolo, right?" she laughed at herself as soon as she stepped out of the shower.
Once in her room she decided to atleast look really nice for her first day as the Chief Financial Officer, her dream job to work for the biggest printing company in the country in hopes to climb the corporate ladder as a successful businesswoman, despite the fact that she's hang over. She looked over to check at the clock and sighed, she has 30 minutes to get ready and that should give her enough time to drive to work. She picked out a red and white ensemble and her favorite red heels, she applied her make up and put her hair up in a bun.
"Where are my earrings?" she looked around for the pair of jade earrings she always wear, considering it as her lucky charm. She panicked when she realized it was not in the jewelry box.
"Fuck I better not lose that jade!" she decided she had no time to look for it and hoped that she don't need "luck" to get through today. She ran downstairs and quickly searched for a granola bar in the cupboard,
"Breakfast! Important meal of the day!" she held out a triumphant grin after realizing she's not going to be late today.
Kagura stumbled into her living room and almost let out a scream when she realized there was a naked man sleeping on the floor, next to where she had woken up 45 minutes ago.
The man is still sleeping peacefully, with his bare back and buttocks in the air, his long hair spilled across his face and on the floor.
She carefully stepped around him and looked around for clues, her clothes were strewn all over the place, and the bra that was draped on her couch and she guessed that was his pants on the coffee table.
"No fucking way," she gulped. Kagura grabbed a stick that was used to turn off the smoke alarm from a corner near by and poked the mysterious man's back.
"Um… excuse me?" she said carefully. What the hell happened last night?
The man groaned but woke up. He immediately sat up. This movement made Kagura blushed as he was partially exposed.
"Um you might wanna cover up." she choked out.
He shrugged. "What time is it?"
" It's half past six…" Damn, now I'm going to be late! Kagura mentally cursed. "Um listen, I really have no idea what's going on… I guess I got really drunk, and…I…"
He shrugged once more. "We met at the bar."
She stared at him for a brief moment. 'Well duh, obviously.' "Listen I'm gonna be…"
He got up and Kagura quickly averted her eyes away for now he is even more exposed. Though she could not help but notice how chiseled his body is. Damn! He's so muscular! Of all times my brain decides to black out on what probably was the best one night stand… and look at that hair!
"Did you eat breakfast?" he finished putting on his boxers and now in search for his pants.
Kagura looked at him. "Listen, you don't have to do this,"
"Do what?" he raised a quizzical brow.
"You know, the whole one night stand process, acting like you care kinda thing… I'm sorry, it's just I really have to go… I'm late…"
He smiled. "I was merely asking. It was a good night,"
Kagura blushed. "Um, I really don't know what to say… I don't even remember your name."
With that the man slightly frowned. I guess she got really shitfaced. "You leaving?"
Kagura frowned when she realized he didn't give his name. She was kinda hoping for it. The man is beautiful, she was really curious to what his name might've been. Damn you brain! Why must you forget! He's gorgeous! "I'm afraid yes, meaning you have to go as well, I'm running a bit late…"
The mysterious man stood close to her and left a little kiss on her cheek and with that he left without a word. Kagura sighed. This is one hell of a morning!
