Larry brought three different ice creams and some other snacks. By snacks I mean junk food with him, we watched Jolly bird and this very romantic movie Perfect love or something like that. Larry and I hate it but we can't help but watch it. At one point, Larry got a stomach ache because of all of the junk foods we stuffed ourselves with, so he went to the toilet but then his phone rang.
"Larry !! Your phone is ringing", I said out loud so he can hear it from the toilet.
"Is it Kent ? If it's him tell him that I'm very busy right now like really busy", he replied.
"Nope it's not him, it's an unknown number", I said.
"You can take it if you want", he said.
I was curious who is calling Larry this late if it wasn't Kent so I picked up his phone.
"Hello ?", I said but no one was talking so I said again "is anyone there ?". But then I heard this incredibly hot male voice, it was a perfect combination of deep and high voice, said
"Uh,... Yeah, I'm sorry to call you this late but you called me thirty times today so I decided to call you back", the voice replied.
"Oh ! Actually it's my friend's phone. He is a little busy now ? Can you leave a message ? Or maybe I can tell him to call you back ?"; I said.
"You know what ? That's fine, no need to call back. It's certainly a wrong number, so good night", the voice replied.
I finally said "If you say so, good night sir".
"Who was that ?", Larry asked when he finally went out the toilet.
"I don't know if it was an unknown number. He said that you called many times today. But I must say that he had a sexy voice", I replied to him.
"Oooooh !!! A sexy voice, huh !!! So you crushed on Mister sexy voice, huh ?", Larry replied to me with a flirtatious voice while moving his eyebrows up and down.
"No, stop it ! I didn't mean it like that ", I replied, turning my back to him .
"Come on Ellie ! You haven't date anyone since Jo...", but Larry didn't finish his sentence.
"Ellie, sorry, I didn't want to pronounce his name", he said after.
"Never mind. And Larry I'm fine now you can pronounce his name if you want", I replied to him
"I'm going to bed, the guest room is already prepared, you can sleep there as well", I said while heading to my room.
This 'Jo...' is only Joshua Cadell, only son of Alexander Cadell, head of Cadell & Son companies, it's among the biggest multinational of Roswell. This b*stard cheated on me with my best friend Tess Michael, she is the daughter of one of the most successful television studios. And you know that now they are engaged only 3 months after our break-up.
Our relation lasted half and one year and he began to hook up with this b*tch of Tess after we celebrate our one year of relation. What hurt me the most was that he was one of the men I really loved in my life. Since that day I closed my heart to love, what's the point of love if you end up broken and alone afterwards. But I'm fine now, perfectly fine after all. It's been one years now.
Today was among the most hard and tough days that I have ever experienced, "everything will be fine Ellie after all tomorrow is another day", that's what I repeated in my head before I fell asleep.
The next morning
At Ellie's house
I didn't have a good day yesterday but today is another day, it's another to do better than yesterday. I always begin my day with jogging. I ran for about 1 one hour.
"Good morning lazybones", I said to Larry when I saw him get out of the guest room with his eyes barely open.
"Good... morning ", he replied while he was yawning. "I need coffee, I'm not suitable without my coffee", he added with a lazy voice and yawning again.
"Here and I take you donut too", I said, pointing to the cup of coffee and a box of donuts that I bought earlier.
"Larry, my garden is a real mess, the lawn is yellow and the bushes, we can't even call them bushes anymore, but a forest, the other flowers are all withered and all dried up. How many days now that the gardener hasn't come here anymore ?", I asked.
"I don't know, I thought he resigned ?", he replied calmly while drinking his coffee.
"Excuse-me ? What ?", I asked, very surprised.
"Resigned, a month ago. Oh, you didn't know it, didn't you?", he said again very calmly.
"No!! Of course not. But why would he quit ? He is very well-paid", I said.
"He complained that you taught him how to do his job and that you yelled at him all the time", he replied.
"But I've never done such a thing", I said. "Oooooh !!!" and then I remembered that I had made a few remarks about his way of trimming the bushes which was a more constructive criticism if you want my opinion.
"I just made a few remarks when I saw his way of pruning these poor bushes, it seemed to me more that he was doing it with his feet", I said.
"So, you told him that he pruned the bushes like he was doing it with his feet ?", Larry replied.
"Well, yeah I just said that the bushes seemed to be pruned by five years old children", I replied.
"And you are surprised that he resigned", Larry replied with a sarcastic tone.
"Ellie, you know your 'constructive criticism' is sometimes very hurtful. By the way everyone at JPI (Jefferson Pharmaceutical Industries) knows that, they even called you Miss Heartless Boss", he replied.
"Bullshit !" I exclaimed " I'm a great boss".
"Really ? That's what you really think ?", Larry asked
"Yep", I replied confidently
"If that can help you sleep well at night then yes you are a great boss ", he replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes and then he left for the bathroom.
Eventually Larry and I went to work, where we had a big problem to solve.
"So, has Nathaniel Carter called you yet ?" I asked him when we arrived at JPI.
"Nope, no news from him since now", Larry said.
"What are we gonna do now ? We are just so screwed, perhaps if we postpone the date of the conference to in six months so that we can start the experience again", I said nervously.
"No way !" Larry exclaimed "it'll destroy your reputation Ellie . It's my fault so I gonna fix it up and you don't do something stupid. I'll recall this Nathaniel Carter thirty times and more if it is necessary so hold on Ellie", Larry said confidently. What he said touched me so much that I have hope again because I really hate my life sometimes , it's like all the world's problems are on my shoulders.
