Their End, My Beginning

*Kat's POV

It took another hour for me to reach at least 3/4th of the design. If it were not for Richard dragging me out, I would have still continued my design till the sunrise. Well, I can't blame him since it was literally 10pm and our working time was from 8am-8pm. Though in one thing I didn't let him win, and that was for taking my designs with me. I knew he had a point because he said I would lose it or something might happen to design cause I can be pretty messy when I am at home. But I have to complete this and so the design came to my home with me.

I gave the key to Richard, who was shaking his head, looking at my hand full of papers. I entered my home and saw Mandy on couch sleeping with a tv on. She must have slept waiting for me. I went to my bedroom and kept the papers and stuffs on my table and walked back to my living room and woke Mandy up.

"Mandy, wake up." She groans and shifts, not waking up. Well, she is a deep sleeper I expected nothing less from her. "Mandy, go sleep in you room." Though she groaned, she opened her eyes and looked at

me.

"Kat, you are late do you want coffee or something. I ordered pasta and spaghetti for dinner and kept it in fridge do you want me to reheat it?"

"No, Mandy, I am not hungry and even if I can do all those things." I said and turned her around to walk her into her room. I made her lay on her bed and switched off the lights after closing the door, I came back into the living room. All this time Richard had been leaning on the kitchen counter doing something on his phone.

"Thankyou Richard for your help I will see you tomorrow." I said and walked him to the door. I wanted to ask him to stay since he helped me a lot I have to show some kindness but Mandy wouldn't appreciate it. She already hates me for fooling around with Richard.

"Hey don't thank me it's what I should do as.. ah.. your friend. Okay see you tomorrow." He walked away and with that I closed the door. I knew the reason behind his stuttering but didn't act on it. He has shown it at multiple occasions to ask me out as a girlfriend or something more than what we are doing right now. But I try to change the topic. I may seem to be a whore right now, but I don't care. In my heart only Ryder had, has and will have a place. No one can replace him.

With those thoughts in mind, I went to my bedroom and walked straight into the bathroom to change into pyjamas. After freshening up a little, I walked to my bed and sat on it. I looked at the table on my left and saw a pile of papers. God, I will have to wake up early in the morning like 4am, so I will have only 4 hours left to sleep. I just had to keep my head on the pillow and I went into deep sleep.
