On My Mind
Chapter 6
The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. Amber and John spent a great deal of time together and were becoming good friends. It was Monday morning and Amber had been up since 6:00 getting ready. She can't even remember the last time she woke up that early. After she took her shower, she wrapped herself up in her robe and walked to the kitchen to make herself some breakfast. She went outside to grab the paper after she made herself a plate. She walked back to the table and took a sip of her coffee while reading the paper. Once she finished her breakfast, she washed her pans and put her dishes in her dishwasher. She walked back into her bathroom and dried her hair which didn't take her that long considering her hair was already partially dry. After that she curled it and applied her makeup. She walked into her bedroom and slipped on her black dress pants, a white short sleeve button up collared shirt with green pinstripes and an emerald green sash belt tied at her waist. She matched her outfit with a pair of black four inch peep toe sling back pumps. She grabbed her purse, her keys and her cell phone and she was out the door.
"Hey hey pretty lady!" She heard as she was unlocking her door. She turned and smiled when she saw John and she waved.
"Hi." She said stretching the word cheerfully.
"So today's the big day?" He asked tucking his paper under his arm, leaning against his truck.
"Yeah. I'm kind of nervous." She said putting her purse on the passenger seat.
"Don't be. I'm sure you'll be fine." He said walking towards the drivers seat of his car.
"Where are you heading off to this early?" She asked sitting in her seat, putting the key in the ignition.
"The gym. Then maybe go get some lunch." He said looking at her over his truck.
"Well have fun. I'll see you later." She said cranking up the air conditioning in her car.
"Good luck. Give me a call after work. Tell me how it goes." He said with a heart stopping grin.
"Sure thing." She said flashing him a smile of her own before closing her door and backing out of her driveway. On the drive to her work she was giving herself a pep talk for her first day.
Amber walked up the steps to the building carefully, willing herself not to trip. Sometimes when she was nervous, she got clumsy. She entered the building and looked around. There were so many people and a lot of elevators. She was so confused, she had no idea where to go. She was just looking around hoping there would be a sign that would tell her where to go.
"Can I help you?" Someone asked, approaching her. She turned and her eyes were met with the most amazing hazel eyes she had ever seen.
"Uh...yeah. It's my first day and I have no idea where I am going." She said with a small laugh. He smiled at her.
"Well who are you looking for?" He asked.
"David Marks. It's a magazine company." She said.
"You're in luck, I'll bring you there." He said leading her to one of the elevators.
"No, no. You don't have to." She said not wanting him to get in trouble for being late.
"Really. I don't mind." He said as they walked into the elevator doors. "So your new here?" He asked glancing at her with a smirk.
"Yeah. I just moved here last week." She said.
"What I want to know is how do you get a job and not know where the office is." He said in a tone that made her slightly uncomfortable.
"Well, my friend works there and she got me the job, so there was really no job interview." She explained.
"Wow. That's luck." He said as he motioned for her to follow him out of the elevator onto the fifth floor. "So you said your boyfriend got you this job?" He asked and she looked at him oddly. She knew that he heard her say friend, he just wanted some ass obviously.
"No. My friend." She said with a roll of her eyes.
"Oh yes, that's right. Well, you wouldn't happen to have a boyfriend would you? Cause if you did it would make what I am about to ask you very embarrassing on my part." He said and stopped walking, which made her stop walking too. She was so dumb-struck she merely just shook her head no. "Well, would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" He asked.
"That's really nice of you, but no thank you." She said not really comfortable with this situation. He looked at her strangely.
"Are you sure? I know this really nice place." He said trying to persuade her.
"Thanks, but I'm really not interested." She said as politely as possible. This guy was getting on her nerves.
"Mr. Marks!" Someone called out and she watched in horror as the man that had showed her where to go made his way towards this person. Just her luck. This man was her boss. Her boss had asked her out, she had refused, he asked her out again and she once again refused. This was going to be pure hell. He turned towards her with a smile.
"David Marks. And I trust your Amber Miller?" He asked extending his hand. She nodded painfully before sticking her hand out to his. "Your desk is right there," He said pointing to a desk in front of a big office. "I'll be there in a couple minutes to talk to you." He said before walking off. She sighed in frustration. Why did she have to run into her boss? Better yet, Why did her boss have to be interested in her? Even better, Why did her boss have to be such a hunk yet a creep at the same time? She made her long, agonizing walk to her desk, dragging her feet the whole way. This was the worst first day ever, and it wasn't even eight yet.
Amber put her feet on the ground as she got out of her car. On her way home from work, she had stopped by and gotten Chinese food. She figured John would be able to cheer her up so she got enough for the both of them. She went inside with her Chinese food and her purse. She went into her room and changed into dark blue jeans and a green and white striped cami. She slipped on a black jacket and decided to go bare foot. She threw her hair into a messy ponytail, grabbed the Chinese food and made her way over to John's.
She knocked on the door and was surprised when the person that opened the door was not John. And, he was massive. His arm muscles were visible and parts of his Pecs too due to his wife beater and shorts being his only clothing.
"Can I help you?" The guy at the door asked, eyeing her. She furrowed her eyebrows together and looked past him into the house.
"Is John home?" She asked confused.
"Yeah, He's in the bathroom, he asked me to answer the door." He said leaning against the doorframe.
"Oh." She said thinking things over. "Well I'm Amber, his neighbor."
"Oh yes that's right. Amber. He told me a little about you." He said with a smirk.
"And you are?" She asked curiously.
"Dave. Dave Bautista." He said extending his hand. She shook it and was about to say something, when she heard John.
"Who is it man?" John asked approaching the door. He smiled when he saw her.
"Amber. How are you doing?" He asked patting Dave on the shoulder. "I see you met the big guy."
"I'm doing ok. Yeah we met." She said and then suddenly, something clicked in her mind. "Oh my gosh." She said with bug eyes. "Your friend. You said your friend was visiting you on Monday. I totally forgot. I'm so sorry." She said turning and leaving.
"Amber. Its ok." John said and then noticed the bags. "What you got there?" He asked. She turned back to face the men and then looked down at her bags of Chinese food.
"Chinese food. I had a terrible day at work and thought maybe if I bought dinner you could listen to me complain. But, you have company. We can talk later." She said once again turning.
"Hey, don't let me stop you." Dave said joining the conversation. "You can tell me too."
"Really? You guys wouldn't mind?" She asked looking at them. "I don't want to butt in on your guys' time together."
"Nonsense. Get your butt in here." John said opening the door wider. She smiled and walked into the door, making her way to the kitchen. Dave and John stared after her then looked at each other with a smirk, both thinking the same thing 'and what a nice butt it is'. They closed the door and followed Amber into the kitchen.
