A call woke the grumbling Kyla Samuels from sleep. It was one of those numerous companies where she had dropped her resume and applied for a job.
She quickly got out of bed and reached for her phone, which she had left charging the previous night. Holding it in her hand, she answered the call.
Caller: "Hello, is this Kyla Samuels?"
Kyla: "Yes, this is she."
Caller: "This is Flamena Cosmetics. I'm calling to inform you that your application has been reviewed and accepted. Please come for an interview on Monday, the 16th."
Kyla jumped up in excitement.
Kyla: "Oh my goodness! I will, definitely. Thank you!"
The caller hung up.

Monday, the 16th, arrived, and Kyla was already at Flamena Cosmetics for her scheduled interview.
Interviewer: "That's all for the interview. We will get back to you."
Kyla stood up.
Kyla: "Thank you, sir."
She left the room.
As she curiously walked around the company, examining her surroundings, she saw someone.
It was him.
It was the guy she had a one-night stand with two weeks ago.
Kyla (to herself): "Oh my gosh!"
She quickly looked away to avoid being noticed.
Kyla: "What's he doing here?"

Flashback: At Kyla's Apartment...
Kyla sat on the floor, burning pictures she had taken with her boyfriend, tears streaming down her face. She had just discovered that he was cheating on her—on his birthday!
Kyla: "You snitch! You cheated on me! I gave you three years of my life, and this is how you repay me? I sacrificed so much for you! I spent my entire savings to surprise you for your birthday, but you surprised me first. I saw you in bed with another girl! Asshole!"
She burst into more tears.
Minutes later, still teary-eyed, Kyla grabbed her bag and left her apartment.

Flashback: At A Club...
Kyla was at the bar, downing drinks one after another. As she drowned her sorrows in alcohol, a man approached her. His name was Lynn.
Lynn: "Hey, beautiful. What's a cute damsel like you doing here all alone?"
Kyla didn't respond; she just smiled.
Lynn: "Mind if I join you?"
Kyla: "Sure."
She adjusted her seat for him.
Lynn: "Thanks."
He signaled to the waiter.
Lynn: "Can we get more drinks here?"
The waiter promptly brought additional drinks.

Flashback: At a Hotel Room...
Kyla and Lynn had just had a one-night stand. As Kyla got dressed to leave, Lynn lay on the bed, staring at her.
Lynn: "I'm serious, love. I want us to date for a month. I promise it won't be longer. How much do you want? Name your price."
Disgusted, Kyla turned to him.
Kyla: "You must be sick in the head! What do you take me for?"
She pushed him aside, grabbed her belongings, and stormed out of the room.
Kyla: "Moron!"

Back To The Present...
Kyla, trying to avoid Lynn, walked briskly with her head down. Suddenly, she bumped into someone coming her way.
Kyla: "I'm so—"
She froze when she looked up. It was him.
Lynn: "The girl from the club?"
Kyla quickly brushed past him, trying to leave.
Lynn: "Wait!"
Kyla ignored him, walking away as quickly as possible. Realizing he was following her, she stopped abruptly.
Kyla: "Are you a stalker? Do you realize I could report you for harassment?"
Lynn: "Sorry."
He stopped, and Kyla continued walking.

At a Bar...
Lynn and his best Friend Troy were seated, having drinks and catching up.
Lynn: "I saw that badass today."
Troy: "What badass?"
Lynn: "The girl I told you about—the one I met at the club two weeks ago."
Troy: "Oh, the one you wanted to date for a month?"
Lynn: "Yeah, that's her. Man, you should've seen her today. She was… hmm!"
Troy (laughing): "Slut! Instead of looking at her face, you were staring at her ass."
Lynn: "I want that girl."
Troy: "You always want girls. You date them, then dump them once you're bored. You're such a player! When will you settle down?"
Lynn: "Not anytime soon. I'm 26—still young. Besides, you're not married either!"
Troy: "True, but I'm not like you. I don't change girls like clothes. I have a girlfriend I love and plan to marry."
Lynn: "Boring lover boy!"
Troy: "Thank you. I love it here."
