I anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little. There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie. I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.

"Hey." Karter greets me.
"Hi. Thanks for c

Marie1 year laterOne thing I hate the most in this world is dieting. I just hate dieting. I hate it. Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical because I haven't eaten proper food in over a week now. I'm on a juice cleanse. I'm surviving on smoothies and boy do I hate them. Just one more day until I can eat solid food again. Thinking about it is making me so happy.

I smile as my eyes slowly start to open.I turn the other way to be faced with a smiling Karter ,"Morning beautiful.""Good Morning handsome." I smile at him. I was still semi asleep."How'd you sleep?"

I look at myself in the mirror and decide to take a bath, honestly, I look like shit. I put on a knee-length black skirt with a V-neck white top. I put on a pair of black heels and decide to leave my hair open and all-natural today.Once I'm properly dressed I head to the kitchen and make myself a bowl of oatmeal. After finishing breakfast quickly and cleaning the dishes I grab my car keys and head out the door.My office isn't too far, about 10-13 minutes so I don't really have to hurry.

MarieOnce again I was awoken by my alarm clock ringing and buzzing. God, I hate waking up at 8 am! What's the point of graduating school when you have to wake up for work at 8? I honestly used to think that after school you can like wake up whenever or something. Life is so unfair. And I'm so stupid! I pull the covers off my body and head to the bathroom.I examine my face in the mirror. Ugh. Why can't I wake up looking stunning? So I can actually tell people, "I woke up like this!" Damn you Beyoncé. I decide to put on a grey pantsuit with black heels and a black undershirt. I don't feel like washing my hair today so I just tied it in a pony tail.After finishing my bowl of cereal and washing the dishes, I head out. I really could have called in sick or something, Mr. Rodger wouldn't have said anything but the fact that our tyrant boss man Mr. Allan is coming tomorrow, we have a ton of work to do and I know everyone is terrified so I can

My eyes quickly widen. Oh shit! Why didn't my alarm go off today? It should go off at 8! I have to be at work at 9, oh my goodness I can't be late today, it's Wednesday. I don't want to lose my job. I immediately pull the covers off my body and run to the bathroom.Luckily I showered last night so I was good. I quickly put on a nice black and white knee length dress. I simply brush my hair and get it out of my face. I put on my favorite pair of white heels and decide to apply some light makeup to make myself look extra presentable.By the time I was done it was 8:55, I had to skip breakfast and quickly head to work. By the time I park my car and reach the elevator it was 9:10. Oh shit. Can't this elevator move faster?Finally the elevator opens and
