I'm In.

Chapter 3: Welcome.

***That guy is Lucca's godyguard, Clement.***

I stepped into the office 15 minutes early. Yesterday after I got home in the afternoon, I showered - even though I'd just showered at Lucca's place, I still felt dirty and I could smell his shampoo on me - scrubbing my skin till it hurt, and then went straight to bed.

I placed Rach's coffee and favorite muffin in her desk and proceeded to finish my own breakfast - which consisted on coffee and a fruit salad - in my desk. Rach arrived half an hour late, while I was answering some e-mails and organizing Alicia's agenda.

- Morning, sunshine! Oh, thank you so much for breakfast, we were to grab some on the way here, but we got carried away and had no time for that. Plus, I'm starving. - Rachel cheerfully exclaimed once she entered.

- We? - I asked.

- Yes, we. As in Tristan and I. The manly man from the club. I stayed over at his Saturday night and he stayed at mine last night. - She filled me in.

- Oh, no wonder you are so hungry then... - I replied whilst answering the office phone.

-So did you leave with the guys the other night? - After I cut the phone, she pronounced the words I dreaded.

- Uhh... no. Right after you left with your manly man, I helped Maggie carry Nicole into a cab and they left early, Nico was too drunk. Rich left about an hour after, he offered to drop me home but I declined, the apartment isn't in his way and I didn't want to be a burden.

- So you took a cab home? - Rach asked. Oh, man... now I had to tell her everything.

- Well, not exactly... I... uh... When was your birthday? - Really? That was my best shot at changing the subject?

- 2nd of March. What does that have to do with anything anyways? Are you thinking of buying me that bag we saw that day at the... OH MY G- I'M SO STUP- THAT WAS YOU CHANGING THE SUBJECT- YOU ARE AVOIDING TELLING ME WHO YOU LEFT WITH- Oh my, you left with a guy. YOU with a guy. I cannot believe this. - She went insane. First she fell for it, then she started yelling, once it drowned on her, she started whispering loudly so that the people outside couldn't hear and finally she sighed in disbelief.

So yes, I wasn't one for one night stands. I mean, I'm no virgin whatsoever, but I'd never been with a guy without knowing him previously. That's why Rach was so shocked.

- His name is Lucca, he's the owner of the club. He was a dick anyways, so you won't be hearing from him anymore. I swear this was the first and last time I do a one night stand. - I then continued to tell her one by one the events that took place Saturday night and yesterday morning.

- That dipsh*t! He just sent you away, just like that. And then the fat guy called you another one of his play toys! THE NERVE! - She exclaimed incredulously.

- I know. And on top of that, he now has my black and gold 2015 limited edition Piscis Purse!

- No way. Are you serious? - I nodded. - We have to get it back! It's invaluable! Give me the address, I'll go. - She said, getting up from her seat and picking up her coat.

- Oh, cut the crap. Nobody's going anywhere. Leave the purse alone, what's important is that it's over. - I stated with finality.

- Yes, you are right, girl. - She came over and gave me a hug. She said while embracing me: - I'll start saving up money for when the next limited edition purse comes out.

At lunch Maggie, Nico and Rich interrogated me again. I ended up telling them the whole story and we also could get some details out of Rach about her manly man. Turns out Tristan is an Architect, he's 27 years old and works at a studio in Berlin. He came to de US for a project he was assigned, with some other architects he works with.
