As Leo was arriving at work he spotted a young girl in the waiting room. She glanced up as he approached her, but looked away again as she seemed to realise this wasn't who she was waiting for. "Excuse me?" Leo asked, "Can I help you?" The girl looked surprised for a moment then replied "I'm waiting for Nikki.....Nikki Alexander." As she finished her sentence she resumed staring at the floor again, fiddling with a lock of hair hanging over her face. "Is she expecting you?" questioned Leo. The girl looked up again and smiled. "Oh, yes." Leo frowned, there was something about the girl that looked so familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He shook his head dismissively and walked off, heading for his office.
He spotted Nikki sitting at her desk and went over. "There's a girl in reception. Says you're expecting her." As Leo carried on towards his office Nikki looked up, confused "A girl? Who?" Leo stopped and turned "She didn't tell me her name." He walked back over to where Nikki was sitting and continued, "Just that she was waiting for you, and that you are expecting her." "I'm not expecting anyone," Nikki stated as she stood up. "I better go and see who she is!"
Leo put his hand on Nikki's arm to stop her. "Wait, just look first," he said as he pointed towards the tinted window looking out into reception. "See if you recognise her. There is something strange about her, in her eyes...something I can't quite put into words" Nikki looked to where Leo was pointing. The girl was still sitting in the same place, staring at the floor just as she was when Leo left her, her dark hair now pushed away from her face leaving her big blues eyes unmissable.
Nikki stared. She thought, just for a second....but as she looked closer the girl no longer resembled anyone familiar "I've never seen her before in my life" Nikki stated.
Thank you for reading! If people like it I will upload another chapter.
I know this chapter is a bit slow, but I think it will get better if the ideas in my head are anything to go by :D
