My footsteps carried me down into the kitchen where Licia was making breakfast clad in only a long pink t- shirt that said stop staring at my bass on the chest. I saw the perfect opportunity to scare her to death. My arms snaked around her waist and she shot about a foot in the air before realizing what happened and began to relax in my arms. My voice was soft against her neck as I said, "Good morning beautiful." She simply spun in my arms and gave me a quick peck on the lips and then said, "Harry you know better, I could have hit you with the spatula" She took note of my nervous posture and said, "Is something wrong" My tone was firm when I replied, "No of course not" She gave me a hard look as if she knew I was lying but she let it go anyway. She set the table and began serving bacon eggs and toast. After breakfast she went to get dressed and left me to my own thoughts. My mind fell on my father he didn't seem to be himself recently. It's like his body can't stand up to very much anymore. He seems to be slowing down as well and his temper fits seemed to be pale imitations of what they once were. My thoughts were interrupted by a familiar manicured hand landing on my shoulder. My eyes turned upward and they meet with the sight of beauty and kindness given physical form. Licia was wearing a pale blue dress that came to just above her knee and displayed her long ivory legs that were toned from all of her years in martial arts and gymnastics. Her five foot eight height was something she took pride in. Her emerald eyes looked as if they had flecks of blue this morning and her upper back length black hair was not in its usual ponytail style. It was tumbling down her exposed back in ebony waves. It was a breathtaking sight. She waved her hand in front of my face and said, "Harry it's time to go to Oscorp and don't forget we orientation at Empire State University tomorrow night. This was one of the reasons she was precious to me, she always had my schedule mapped out. Her organizing skills helped me keep on track with all of my meetings and social events. We walked out and hopped into a light blue corvette and drove off.

The first order of business when I arrived at my office was to make sure Starks shipment cleared so he would get out of my hair. It said that had thank goodness one less thing to worry about. The morning passed quickly the only meeting I had was at two with Nick fury to discuss the state of the company. The PA system on my desk started to buzz so I brought a pen down on the button to answer it and said, "Yes Ms.Hardy what is it" Her tone was warm and chipper when she said, "Your two o clock is here Mr.Osborn" I replied, "Send him in" Soon after my door swung open and in walked the eyepatch wearing pirate himself, Nick Fury. He took a seat in the chair in front of my desk and began to speak in a gruff tone and said, "Mr.Osborn I'm not actually here to see you but could you pass on a message to your father for me." I nodded my head and stopped spinning my pen and said, "Sure just tell me the message." He gave me a hard stare that sent shivers up my spine and said, " Tell him he'll be sorry he ever withheld information from me. Have a pleasant day Mr.Osborn and don't make the same mistakes he does when you take over" He then got up and walked out as if he owned the place, nicely done Fury. My eyes landed on the clock on the wall and it read two twenty that should give me enough time to grab my jacket and say bye to Licia.

My hand knocked lightly on the wooden barrier of her office and a gentle come was heard from the other side. The sight my eyes landed on was something that belonged in a comedy. Licia had her shoes off and her feet were propped up on the desk. There was a bag of sweet tarts rested in her lap and she was watching looney toons. My tone was stunned as I said, And to think you call me unprofessional!" She simply smirked and threw a sweet tart at me and said, "Shut up its been a slow day,where are you off to" My tone was light as I said, " I'm going to the doctors office, so call Gerard to pick you up tonight" A look of concern danced behind her usually care free eyes as she said, "Harry is everything alright" My tone was confident as my hands went behind my back to hide the shaking. I said "Yes, Love you but if I wait any longer I'm going to be late." She kissed my cheek and then I was off.
