LEIGH–A*I

Three full days passed and my new neighbor and I continued our newly formed routine. I would wake up i n the moming and go to work, and then come back at night to have dinner with her. Laura joined us two days back and like I, fell in love with Valerie. She was such an open, easy-going person that made everyone feel comfortable around her. Although she was way too classy and fancier than us, she was really a nice person.

Last night we had plans to go out for drinks, only to pull an overnight shift. I had an 8 hour surgery and by the time I left the OR, I was just ready to hit my bed on the bed and get done with the day. I arrived at home to find her preparing to leave.

“I am just going to pick my boss from the airport. I will spend the night here and fly over to Italy tomorrow moming.” She explained when I looked at her questionably.

“And you dress like that when you go pick your boss? From the airport?” I gestured to her neat attire. This lady looked like a whole new model that just jumped out of a magazine. It was still early in the moming, but she was fresh with washed blue jeans, a white dress shirt tucked only in one side and long pair of stilettos. Her hair was in a low bun and she had minimum makeup with a nude lipstick.

“How do I look?” She looked down to herself and stared up at me!

“Girl you look fancy. Like you are going on some date or shit!” I pointed out causing her to cackle up. 1

“Oh come on girl. If only you can see the girls I live with. Then you will know I don’t even hold a candle.” She said casually. I shook my head hysterically and stared down at myself. Formal black dress pants, red tunic and a coat thrown on my arm. I looked like a mess and I knew it!
