The next day moves by quicker than anticipated, I'm staring at the clock and let out a sigh, I let my body fall back onto the bed, I know I should start getting ready to meet Mr. Huxley for our lunch meeting or whatever it was called, but my Gosh am I drained,

Insomnia is the worst, no matter what I do my brain seems to not get the message that it's time to sleep, so then I run into the problem of feeling constantly drained during the day like right now, I should be showering and getting myself ready for the lunch, but instead, I'm mindlessly staring at my ceiling doing nothing,

My brain still can't wrap around the fact I'm about to have lunch with Mr. Huxley on the weekend...outside of work,

It's honestly strange, whenever I had to go to lunch meetings with him it was never us two there were always clients with us, events had been with many people surrounding us as well, so having lunch just the two of us sounds odd in a way,

Yet excitement bursts through me at the thought that I might get to know Mr grumpy a little better outside of a work environment,

Saying this was strange would be an understatement, yet I can't get myself to cancel or reschedule because my mind is floating with thoughts of the rooftop project, I still think it's fake, that maybe Mr.Huxley will wake up and tell me I won't be doing the project,

Yet instead of doing what I thought he would, he's invited me to lunch...to help.

After staring at my ceiling for an obscene amount of time I decide to quit wasting further time procrastinating and text him, so I know what to wear and where we will eat,

Being his assistant means I already have his number, since I don't have my own car when we would go to meetings outside of his building he would pick me up from my apartment so not only do we have each other's numbers he also knows my address so I don't need to stress about that.

Where exactly are we going? I typed it out quickly, after sending it I wanted to slap myself in the face for not saying hello beforehand, it was quite rude of me to just go straight to the point like that,

But as I stressed about how I worded the text and thought maybe I should have said hello, and a how are you, he had already responded

Mr.Grumps: Where do you want to eat?

I smile a little at the contact name I gave him, I changed it all the time but for now, it stayed that way, these past few months he's been laughing at times, I haven't caught a smile just yet, but I have a feeling I might...so I have a feeling I'll need to change it soon,
