Bianca glanced at the digital wrist watch on her left hand. It read "4:20pm" which was ten minutes to work close. She quickly gathered her sample reports, test tubes and cleared out her desk.
She took off her hand gloves exposing her slender beautiful hands with glowing dark brown skin. She took off her hair net and a strand of her curly dark hair fell over her gorgeous face. She smiled calmly and moved the lock of hair off her face.
She had a beautiful dentition as she had replaced her missing tooth and her smile was like rays of the early morning sunlight reflecting on a batch of red roses in the field.
She took off her lab coat underneath which she wore a black sleeveless knee-length gown. Her skin was now spotless, scarless and radiant. She was twenty four, 5ft 7ich, slim with wide hips and a tiny waist.
"Bianca darling" Camila called out
Camila fondly called Mila by Bianca was her colleague and friend. Mila was white, slim and tall with long blonde hair also in her early twenties. Mila was the kind of friend that talked a lot and was very playful but kind and caring regardless unlike Bianca who was mostly calm, quiet and reserved except when she got comfortable around you.
"Mila dear" Bianca replied smiling
"Are you ready so we can head out?" Mila asked
"Yep" Bianca replied lifting her handbag and they both headed for the stairs
"Is it just me or are you exceptional excited this evening?" Mila asked Bianca a little curious.
"Welllll"
"Out with it Bianca"
"I have a date with Eric tonight" Bianca replied blushing
"Awwwwn (Mila smiled) Dating the right guy does bring out the best in you doesn't it?"
"It sure does" Bianca replied still blushing
"Watch were you going Miss Camila. I choose not to believe that you have suddenly gone blind and mad at the same time!" A voice Camila bumped into shouted.
It was Mrs Neville.
Mrs Neville was a white, chubby woman in her late forties who always frowned, murmured to herself and was quick to shout at the slightest brink of provocation. She usually acted as though everyone was out to get her and she decided to get at them first.
She was a senior colleague as she was among the first batch of workers that began with AMG. She had trust issues and wouldn't even drink water bought by anyone but herself no matter how thirsty she was.
"You can't get me" she would usually yell at anyone who tired to offer assistance of any kind
"I'm so sorry Mrs Neville" Mila apologized
"Keep your apologies to yourself" Mrs Neville replied rather harshly and walked away
Mila wasn't perturbed as everyone was already used to the rude and crazy way Mrs Neville acted. Mila and Bianca went down the stairs and out the front door to the building's large compound. The AMG building was mostly made of glass and was five storeys up. They proceeded out the gate to the street to flag down a cab.
"Where next from here Bianca?" Camila asked
"Em firstly, home to shower and then prepare for my date. Eric is very time conscious you know"
"Yep. Do enjoy yourself and call me later okay"
"I will".

Bianca walked into the two-bedroom apartment she rented for herself and Mrs Beverley in Newyork city after Mr Beverley passed on some years ago.
"Good evening mum" Bianca greeted and huged her.
"Evening B. How was work today dear? Mrs Beverley asked
"It went well mum. You said you were going to the park today I'm sure that was refreshing"
"Ah Bianca you just came back and you must be tired go freshen up I got some pasta on my way back" Mrs Beverley said changing the topic.
"Okay okay I'll go freshen up but I can't stay for dinner. I have a date with Eric tonight"
"Okay dear that's fine go prepare" Mrs Beverley said and Bianca proceeded to her room.
Bianca's room was always neat with white curtains and a white painted wall and everything else ranging from the tiles on the floor, to the bedsheets and blankets all in one shade of green or the other. She loved the colour green as it signified life and made her feel close to nature.
Bianca dropped her bag on the reading table in the room next to the flower vase and sat down on the bed. She took a deep breath and looked around the room. Everything thing exactly the way she had left it before leaving for work.
As she bent over to unbuckle her shoe she thought of Eric; Sweet and handsome Eric. She had seen him last a week ago before he travelled but he was back now. He was an architect by profession and got a good contract a year ago which made him travel more frequently than he usually did for the past year.
Bianca had meet Eric in her first year in college while he was an architecture student finalist. They started of as just friends as he showed her around and kept her company as Bianca wasn't one to make too many friends. She felt like she didn't fit it, didn't want any trouble and was usually on her own until Eric came along.
Their association made Bianca more social and then she made a couple of friends and was happy. Eric's friends also liked her and were fond of her as she was sweet, free minded and also very beautiful of course. Some of them wanted to date her but Eric wouldn't let that happen. He acted like an overprotective brother and was always there for her after she told him about her past.
He taught her many things. How to drive, play basketball and volleyball, dance and took her to the gym initially to watch him work out but she eventually joined him later. Eric was white but basically acted black and majority of his friends were black too.
Eric was muscular due to his consistent workout and gyming and usually initimidated guys who were crushing on beautiful Bianca with his stature. He was 6ft 2inc with blue eyes, brown curly hair and pink lips. Bianca grew very fond of him and missed him so much when he graduated the next year but they didn't start dating until two years ago.
After her shower, Bianca laid down a little on the bed in her bathing robe and closed her eyes. She wanted to take a nap because she was tired but decided otherwise. She stood up, applied her light makeup and topped it with a bright red lipstick. She held up her curly black hair in a bun and wore a handless red fitted gown slightly above her knee which she bought about 3 years ago when she got her first salary.
The red dress clinged to her and highlighted her beautiful curvy body. She crowned it all with a tiny golden earring and necklace set Eric bought her the year he asked her out. She put on her black 4-inch heels, wore her perfume with the fragrance Eric liked more, picked up her black purse and phone and headed to the sitting room where Mrs Beverley still sat.
"How do I look mum?" Bianca asked as she entered the sitting room
"You look ravishing my angel. I bet Eric wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you" Mr Beverley replied when she saw her
"Thanks mum. I will be on my way now" Bianca said giving her a peck on the cheek
"Ok dear. Do take care of yourself love"
" I will mum" Bianca said as she opened the front door and left.
