Stressed, Depressed and High.

One.

Laure's P O V :

Why should the alarm ring when I'm in a good dream? Stupid alarm. I look at Jeffrey; he's still asleep. I get out of the bed and do my daily bathroom routine. As I get out my white shirt and my black pencil skirt, Jeffrey wakes up.

"Good morning Laure" He smiles at me, glancing his blue eyes at my outfit. "Black and white?" I've got no idea what to say, I really don't want to tell him about my depressed mood today, it's been three years since my mother's death. 

"Yeah, couldn't find any colored stuff." I lie. He's got no idea about that subject, I never told him about it. 

"Oh. See you downstairs" He responds, doesn't look like he bought it, shit. I fake a smile as he grabs my neck and kisses me passionately; I just love the way he kisses me, but I'm in a really bad mood.  Laure, just go with the flow and kiss him back.

-20 minutes later

 I can't keep hiding the truth, this must be terrible. Should I tell him? Will he be okay? I guess not, we've been dating for more than a year and a half, I shouldn't have hid that. 

"Anything wrong honey?" He asks, smiling. Fake it Laure, fake it. 

"No, just thinking about today's meeting." I hope he buys this one. I should stop faking everything, no, I can't tell him a year and a half later.

"Oh. Big people again?" He asks. Laure, think about something. God there's nothing to say. Fuck my life.

"No, a lunch one." I lie, he'll  be so upset because I promised him to have lunch today. He knows how much I hate lunch meetings. But I didn't lie about the lunch meeting, we do have one, but I was already ditching it.

"I can talk to my father if you want?" He offers, he's so sweet and then here I am, lying to him. I'm  really thankful that I have a boyfriend like him, yes, his father is my boss.

"Yeah, if you don't mind." I try to sound as polite as I can.

"Sure." He smiles and kisses me.

"We better get going before I run late." I state. Yep, that's me, I always have work as my first option.

"Here's the Laure I know" He smiles widely.

- Work - 

 Today was okay, I forgot a bit about my mother, ugh. Jeffrey's father is calling, let's check out what's wrong. His office is  just in front of mine, my life is such a  fuck up , right?

"Hello sir." I smile.

"Well, hello Laure. Jeffrey told me that you'd like to ditch today's lunch meeting." Why is he talking as if it was the first time I ditch a lunch meeting? 

"It's not the first time, I guess." I smile. I wish I haven't just said that, I'm too naive. 

"I know. But, this meeting is an important one, you can't ditch it." 

"What?" 

"I know it would be mean to cut off my son's plans, but you've got to be present." He smiles a pathetic smile.

"Fine sir. I'll go. Just let me call Jeffrey." I say, there's nothing else to do.

"Thank you for respecting that decision." He smirks.

I get out of his office, open my purse, get my phone out and touch Jeffrey's name. He answers by the first ring.

"Laure, anything wrong?" He worriedly asks, how am I supposed to tell him this.

"Well, your father refused. I should go to the meeting." I say, upset.
