************Annabeth*******
Saying I'm tired won't cut the description of how I feel right now. My feet ache seriously and my ass feels numb. That's what happens when you miss work for a couple of days in a huge ass company as the assistant of the CEO.
I had to postpone all of his meetings to next month. That would give him time to recover. I thought back to what happened this morning.
I know I haven't worked long enough with him but I've never seen him look so vulnerable before. He really does care for her. Well, I'm glad I let him go see her though, he needs a break.
My stomach grumbled for the nth time today but I ignored it.. as I've been doing since after having the breakfast Ray ordered. I had totally forgotten about breakfast this morning. Only the thought of the mails I had to take care of filled my head.
I'd eat when I get home. Paige is making pasta in appreciation for the clean kitchen. Apparently, Ray had cleaned the kitchen to the point of sparkle and nothing impresses Paige as a really clean kitchen does.
I did nothing there but I wouldn't pass on a free pasta. Duhhh..
I haven't told my friends about our rendezvous yet. They are going to flip most especially, Karen. I bet she's going to give me one of her lectures, she keeps saying she has prepared for when I finally decide to do the deed.
Well, luckily, I took the morning after pill. Karen insists I always have one in all my purses and when I refused she put them in there herself...I just love her..she has the foresight of a mother.
I looked down at the papers before me. I can be a workaholic sometimes and today is one of those days. On my left is a pile of work I have completed and on my right is one last folder. But since I'm now getting towards the end I'm beginning to feel lazier and lazier... I looked at them again then looked at the time.
Naa.. I'd finish with you tomorrow..
With that, I put the two uncompleted folder to the far right while I took the completed folder on the left to Ray's office. He'd sign them when ever he comes to work.
I relaxed in my seat when I got back to my office. I should be on my way home but I need to rest a little. I leaned back into my chair but felt myself dozing off.. I can't sleep here but I can't move yet.
I decided to video call my best friends.. that's if they aren't at Freddy's.
I dialed them both at the same time. Jason picked up first.
"If it's not our little runner" he teased.
"You wouldn't let that slide, will you?" I said my voice sounding really low...yep, I'm exhausted.
" Nop, I won't" he said as Karen picked.
"Hey bitches, you guys finally remembered the non- working class friend ehh?"Karen said giving us both accusing looks. I rolled my eyes at her statement.
" No one told asked you to sit at home, stupid. You choose to. So forgive us for being busy and not sitting at home looking pretty for the insects in your mother's garden" Jason clapped back. I fell back in laughter at his statement..
"Insects.... really, Jason? That was brutal" I said in between laughs. He just shrugged saying 'Facts'
"You know you are an asshole right? And who says I don't want to work. I do want to work ..but I'm getting mentally prepared...duhh" she said smacking her lips at us.
"Mentally prepared, my soft ass. You have been 'mentally preparing ' for the past 7 months. Did you have to reboot your brain?" Jason shot. He seems to have pile of words at his disposal today or did she do something to annoy him earlier?
"Something seems to be shoved up your ass today, Jason. You can come over and I can help you pull it out" Karen clapped back.
" Shut the fuck up" Jason shot back.
"Alright !!.. that's enough already. What happened between you two huh? " None of them said anything.. looking at anywhere but me. "I'm listening people..what happened?"
"Nothing serious, Anna. Just us being..us" Jason said shrugging his shoulders. I knew Jason wouldn't want to say anything. He doesn't like issues, whereas, Karen does..alot.
"Karen? What happened?"
"We went to Freddy's last night and he was supposed to pay but he didn't bring his wallet, I had to call my foolish brother to get my card and the fucker took $50k. I lost money because of him!."
"It was an honest mistake!!! But she wouldn't listen. I forgot my wallet at the office, I didn't mean to make her pay but she wouldn't listen. She kept cursing me even after I promised to refund the money.." Jason sighed frustrated.
That's what Karen can do sometimes..drive you soo crazy..
"Karen, it was a mistake." I said turning to her
"I know it was but I need someone to blame for my loss..and his the closet..infact he is the cause."
"Yeah, but it was a mistake. It's okay to be sad but don't curse on him.. please."
" Fine.. I won't. I'm sorry, Jason. But the next time you don't get your wallet I'd kill you.. literally " she tried to keep a stoic expression while Jason gave stuck his tongue out at her.
"You two just fit... Jason I think you should recheck if you are really gay, you might just be bi. You and Karen would make gre..."
"Eww" they both said at the same time making disgusted faces I scoffed at their actions.
"You can try it out-"
"Anna, please." Jason cut me off. "Just tell us how your day went okay? How was yesterday? You were discharged yesterday right?"
He switched the spotlight to me!!! Asshole.
"Well, today has been really tiring. Ray couldn't come in to work today..he had some...issues to dissolve."
"Okay and yesterday?" Karen asked paying full attention.
I'm confused.
"Why do you guys want to know what happened yesterday... I got discharged yesterday.. Ray drove me home, we had lunch together....that's it."
"Really?! No kissing nothing?" Huh? I'm really confused right now . This fuckers didn't bet on me getting laid now did they?
"Karen, why would you expect kissing?!"
"You both have chemistry, Anna. It's normal to kiss when you have chemistry. I need you to get some!! The year is running out"
"What the... Hmmm okay." Here it goes. " We may or may not have done the deed yesterday" I said looking at my hands. Jason gasped and Karen was quiet. I hate it when she's quiet..
"You what?!" Karen screamed
"Yeah, you did what?!"Jason added.
"What's the problem? I thought you guys would be happy?" I asked in confusion, dreading what theyight say next.
"Oh we, we are elated. I don't even think elated cuts it. I am excited. Finally" Jason said throwing his hands in the air. " I was beginning to think you'd say something like ' waiting for marriage '. Good God I'm happy"
Wew.
I looked in Karen's direction, she had left her seat. I turned to Jason in fear.
"Please don't tell me I've triggered her again "
" No bae, I don't think you have. Given her silence, I think she's up to no good"
" I can hear you Jason!" Karen called from somewhere in her room. " Let me just get the last...one. Yeah here it is." She came back to her seat holding five different sizes of dick dildos. I gulped at the sight of them.
This girl must out of her motherfucking mind!!!!
"Um..Karen. Why do you have those?" I asked finally waking up from my reverie. Jason still looked out of it. He was staring at the biggest one! Wtf!
"Why?! Is that even a question? I have needs, baby. Urgent needs...."
I'm fucked. Told you she was gonna flip.
" Now, Anna. I need details..minute details." My blood ran cold.
I am really fucked
