Rin woke the next morning with a smile on her face. Running her hand through her tussled raven coloured tresses, she stood yawning as she stretched her arms out.
Brown eyes turned to the pants suit that rested on the back of her computer chair before she walked over and picked them up. Slipping her pinstriped slacks on under her night gown, she buttoned them up before pulling said gown over her head and throwing it on her bed. She pulled on her crisp white dress shirt and buttoned the buttons to her collar bone before pulling on the matching vest not bothering to tuck in the bottom of her shirt. She picked her brush up off of the dresser and quickly ran it through her hair before pulling it back into a ponytail.
She turned and stepped into her black Christian Louboutin pumps before pulling her trench coat over her shoulders and placing her black Basque Beret hat on her head and grabbing her briefcase.
She walked out of her house then down the three stairs before heading to her 2011 Mercedes. Stepping into the car, she placed her briefcase in the passenger's seat before pulling out and driving off to work.
…
Rin arrived at the office thirty minutes later and stepped out giving her keys to the valet. She turned and made her way to the elevator that connected to the motor lobby and pressed the up button. The doors opened a few moments later and she stepped inside pressing the button to the 35th floor. She stood watching the elevator dial as it drew closer to her floor until it stopped and her best friend, Sango stepped on.
"Oh hi Rin, good morning," Sango said with a smile.
"Morning Sango," Rin said taking note of her rounding belly underneath her blazer. She smiled at the thought of the little boy that would be coming into the world in a matter of two months. "How's the little one doing?"
"Oh he's fine," Sango said rubbing her belly.
"And the twins," Rin asked as the doors opened and they walked out onto the floor together.
"They're wonderful, staying with Kohaku right now," Sango said as she waved to one of their coworkers. "So how do you like the perfume?"
"I think it smells lovely," Rin said walking into the office with her at her side. "I can't wait to see what he got me today."
"Well we'll find out soon enough," Sango said smiling as she looked over at Rin's desk.
"What," Rin asked until she looked over and saw a bouquet box sitting on her desk. "Oh, it came early today."
"He might have sent it earlier than the rest of them," Sango said as she sat down. "Open it and let's see what he got you this time."
Rin nodded before heading over to her desk and sat down. Picking up the box, she ripped away the tape with a box cutter and pulled out a lavender box.
"Huh, I wonder what it is," she said as she opened the box.
A gasp escaped her lips as she pulled out a purple dragon statue.
"Wow, it's gorgeous," Sango commented as she moved closer to look at the statue.
"I love it," Rin said as she ran her fingers over the scales.
"You're a very lucky girl," Sango said with a smile as she stood. "I'll leave you to your e-mail. I know you want to thank him. Are you still stopping by for dinner tonight though?"
"Of course," Rin said as she turned on her computer.
Sango nodded then turned and left the room.

The dragon statue is beautiful. I love it. I'm gonna put it on my nightstand.
XOXO,
Rin
