Chapter 15- Back To Normal

Elena Amber

The alarm I had set for eight o'clock went off the next morning. I reached over and shut it off. I reached for my Samsung Galaxy S5 and checked my texts. I had a text from my best friend and head editor of the magazine, Adeline "Addie" Flynn. Are you coming in today? James called me last night. You okay?

"Did you call Addie?" I asked as James and I rolled into his arms.

"I called and told Addie you'd be in today but only for a half day because of the intensity of the medication House and I have you on. We don't know just how it affects you yet. So I'll be driving you to work and picking you up at noon."

"Okay."

Forty-five minutes later James walked me into the office where Addie met me at the door. She had her blond hair curled slightly and wore designer jeans, a red top, and wedges. She looked like you'd imagine a fashion guru with the looks of Jennifer Aniston during her Friends days. "I'll be back at twelve to get her, Adeline," James said and kissed me, "See you then."

"Bye, love you."

"I love you too," he said and squeezed my hand before leaving. When he was gone Addie led me to her office.

"Girl, you are so lucky to have literally the sweetest man ever and he's so smart too. I wish I had a boyfriend like that," she said as she sat down at her desk.

"What about Clay?"

"Clay's not a sexy oncologist," she said with a smile, "he's just a normal businessman, so James win the cool contest by default."

"We should double date sometime."

"Totes. Come here I want to show you some designs I'm looking at for that fashion show I'm covering in New York."

I came over and looked at the Pintrest page she had up. It consisted of a lot of dresses and shoes. I pulled up a chair and pulled out a note pad and wrote down notes on the pictures like the designers of the pieces and prices listed. "Do you want to feature affordable fashion?" I asked.

"I think so. What non uber rich girl in her right mind would spend two hundred on a dress even if it's cute? Even I shop at bargain places when I can."

"Good point," I said looking at the page and Addie and I commented about what we'd wear and what we'd not ever be caught dead in. While Addie and I gushed her assistant Julie came in periodically to ask Addie about details of her trip. "When do you leave?" I asked.

"Friday. I'm s excited."

"I bet."

"But I'll be back for your wedding of course."

"I'd hope so, because you're the maid of honor and that'd suck to be without one," I said.

"You'd be lost without me."

"I agree," I said and smiled.

I lost track of time and when Julie brought James in I was completely surprised. "Time to go. Sorry Adeline, I'm stealing her," he lifted me up and kissed my mouth. "You feeling okay?" he asked and his fingers found the pulse on my neck and held them there for a moment.

"Better than ever," I responded.

"I'm glad to hear it and I bet House will be too. House cares about you," James said, "Come on I'll buy you lunch."


What I loved about this chapter was we got to see a little into what Elena's everyday job and life were like for a while. What did you guys think? The next chapter is coming!
