Y/n's P.O.V.

*Beep Beep Beep*

Ughhhhhh. Five more minutes. I reached for my phone to turn off the alarm.

8:13am, Friday 27 2036

Oh shit shit shit. I have to be at work at 8:30. I jumped out of bed, still sleepy, threw on the first outfit I could find, grabbed a cereal bar, slipped my shoes on and ran out the door. No time for a shower nor for brushing my teeth.

I boarded bus 10 and sat in an unoccupied seat.  This is my third time being late this week.

I finally arrived in front of the office and rang the doorbell. I waited for Isaac to buzz me in as he always did. But he didn't. I tried again. Still nothing. I checked my watch. 8:34 am. I'm not that late. I decided to call Arthur, my favorite colleague, so that he could let me in.

On the phone

Y/n: Arthur?

Arthur: What do you want?
* Yawn* Its 8 am.

Y/n: Can you let me in? I'm downstairs and I have no clue where Isaac is.

Arthur: What are you talking about? Today is a public holiday.

Y/n: Fuck me. Sorry for waking you up.

Off the phone

I sighed and rubbed my weary eyes. Why me? I could've slept in!!! I trudged to my usual coffee shop.

Ben: Morning, Y/n. Your usual?

Y/n: Mhmm, thanks Ben.

The barista gave me my order, I paid and headed out of the shop. I took a sip of my cold drink. It was scorching outside. I closed my eyes and enjoyed my cold drink.

Suddenly I bumped into someone tall. My drink had been spilled all over the both of us. I sighed. This isn't my lucky day. I felt a pair of muscular arms gently grab my shoulders.

Man: Oh God, I am so sorry. Are you okay?

I straightened my hair and looked up at him. He had short curly brown hair, ebony eyes and towered over me. Something about him was familiar. I shook my head.

Y/n: Totally my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry about your shirt.

Man: No worries.

I walked away, still soaking. I tossed my empty cup in the bin. Fuck my luck.
