Remember Me

Chapter 14

"So, you have any dates lined up this weekend?" Rachel asked Lisa as the two sat in Rachel's office.

"Nah. Taking a breather this weekend." Lisa winked and laughed when she saw Rachel's eyes roll. "How about you? You and Brian gonna do something?"

"I don't know. Maybe." Rachel shrugged.

The two of them talked for a few more minutes, getting ready to end the day and head home when Ryan, their boss, entered the room.

"Hey Ryan." Rachel smiled.

"Hey ladies." He greeted. "So, I have some bad news."

"Oh god." Lisa groaned.

"There was a technical issue and we lost all our progress for a major account. We need you two to stay and help the team remake everything." Ryan told them.

"Are you serious? It's Friday, they can't wait?" Lisa exclaimed.

"No, they need it all done by Monday." Ryan explained.

"Alright." Rachel sighed pulling out her phone to call Brian. "We'll be there in a few minutes."

"Sorry guys." Ryan sympathized before leaving the room.

Lisa subtly rolled her eyes and slumped into the chair she was sitting in.

"Fuck." Rachel groaned as she waited for Brian to answer.

"Hey gorgeous." He answered.

Rachel smiled when she heard his voice.

"Hey handsome. So, I kinda have some bad news." She told him.

"Really? Cause this day already fucking sucks and I don't know if I can handle anymore bad news." Brian said rubbing a hand over his face.

"Looks like we're gonna be here all night. I need you to watch Kassi tonight." She told him quietly, knowing she was probably making his day worse.

Brian sighed in annoyance from where he sat in his office. He had a particularly stressful day, being reminded multiple times that he lost his memory and had to redo certain things over and over again.

"Rach, I can't. I gotta record the podcast tonight." He told her growing pretty tired of this day.

"Can't you just take her with you?" Rachel asked, also becoming pretty annoyed with how this day was turning out.

"Look I had a really long day and I don't even want to drive to Jersey let alone watch a kid while trying to record." Brian argued.

"First of all, she's your daughter. Not just a kid." Rachel snapped. "Second of all, you've taken her before and she's fine on her own, you just don't-"

"Don't remember!? Yeah thanks almost forgot about that!" Brian erupted shaking his head in annoyance. "Whatever I'll figure it out." He huffed, hanging up the phone before she could respond.

"Asshole." Rachel muttered under breath catching the attention of Lisa.

"He pissed?" Lisa questioned.

"He's in one of his moods." Rachel said. "Let's just try and get this shit over with."

After finally figuring out what to do with Kassi, Brian pushed the door open to the comic shop where Bryan and Walt already sat waiting at the poker table. Q threw his bag down and took a seat, puffing in annoyance as he did so. Bryan and Walt exchanged looks, it was never a good recording day when their friend was in a bad mood.
