I swirled the pen in my mouth as i stared at the screen of my laptop. The slow burning kiss of the actors was burning my single as*. I felt a tickle on my body as i pushed behind my chair and moved away from the screen and paused the movie. I tie my hair up and headed to the mirror. Wishing to be as hot as the blond blue eyed girl in the movie.
I wasn't the type that could be a main character but I was good enough for the side one I thought looking closer at my wheat skin. I pulled off the towel and put on my clothes. Apparently I was completing a movie I had left half watched the evening before, after I had walked out of the bath. I have to go to the office and I'm early. With a disposable cup of coffee and a granola bar I walk out of my house. It seems like a new family had shifted into the neighbor hood but something else caught my eyes. The bungalow next to our building that was closed for almost a few years now had a new owner. It was out for oction but really expensive I might have thought about buying it but it wasn't really worth it.
The over priced bungalow and the cheap building i lived in were in a pretty same condition. Just the bungalow was dirty because it did not have owners and our building was dirty because we did not have money. The worn out building made of maroon bricks was strong enough to work a century more. I live a very average life.
Save and spend and send a few to my sister.
I walk ahead and notice a leakage, gaint drops of water falling out from the first floor. That almost had my straighted hair and white shirt stained and ruined.
"James! Your kitchen is leaking again." I scream as a tall, dark man bends over from James's balcony.
"I'll remind him!" He says in a deep voice. I shy away and walk forward past the bungalow that had been cleaned.
It had been repainted into grey and black, blinders covered the Windows. It's gates were replaced with enormous ones all painted in the shades of black-white. I peeked through the hinges of the gates because there was no other place to look in from.
"Wonder what depressed person lives here." I whispered and walked forward. The blinders might have covered any light that entered at all.
I walked into my work space.
"How's everyone?" I smile but everyone in the office stares at me. I nod and turn to my bosses office. I knew this silence. The glass door was increasing my heart rate as I stared at it.. I smile awkwardly.
"Hello miss boss's crush." Jamie smiles and patts at my shoulder.
"Don't tell me what happened." I look away and tap my feet figiting and I look back at Jamie.
"Okay tell me what happened?" I narrowed my eyes.
"No one told him you were ill so he screamed and shouted like.. uh a dog fighting another. He is a physco." She smiles.
"I KNOW. I KNOW. Explains the stares." I breathe out.
"GO AHEAD STEP IN." She said moving forward her hand at the door.

It almost felt like i was stepping on the battle feild. A soft battle feild music ringing in my ear and my heart pounding and trying to match the beats and set free from my body.
'Breath in, breath out' I say to myself and push the door open.
"Hello, Mr. Andrew." I smile.
"OH! HELLO! Crosiar." He gets up and buttons his coat.
"Cro- saier. Sir." I correct him.
"Right Crosiar." Again, wrong pronunciation. He rings the call bell.
"Bring the things in." He says into the Mic looking right into my eyes. As a lady with a big bouquet walks in. It was big enough to cover the lady carrying it.
With his sky blue eyes he looks into mine setting his dark brown hair with one of his hand exposing the Rolex on his wrist he sits down on one knee pulling his grey suit's collor up.
"You are beautiful. I wish you the best health." He smiled.
The bouquet had roses of various colours and sunflowers.
I rolled my eyes and walked to his table as he got up. Bending towards him i picked up the file behind him. He smiled and his cheeks flushed his blue eyes kept looking away trying to hide his grin. He fixed his dark hair and rubbed his clean saved chin Cleary in an awkward way.
"Mr. Andrew I'll like to talk to you. Alone." I whisper.
He gulps and nods as he loosens his tie. He looks into my eyes and smiles when the lady walks out.
"What is it?"
"I'd like to work 1 day extra each week." I look away.
"But don't you work 2 days already."
"I'd like to work 3 days a week." I smile.
"May I know the reason?" He looks at me.
"I'm trying to move out into a better apartment and help my sister with her school."
"Alright. As you wish." He says as I turn around to walk out. "You are promoted." He says as i turn to him.
"Promoted?" I smile awkwardly.
"Yes, you will now work under me for 3 times the payment. You will now be my assistant."
"Really? But I'm bad at math." I smile.
"Doesn't matter. But there's a change 3 days a week and 5 hours a day. You have to arrange my meetings and set and alarm." He smiles.
"Sounds amazing."
"I'll send you the offer letter right to the desk." He smiles.

After a wonderful day full of surprises.
I walk home after attending the last day of my 6 hour job when i see someone on the street.
He had black hair and dark eyes. He was drunk and could barely get up. His hair was wet from sweat and the streets were dark. I pulled my phone out and called the cops. I was scared to go near him but at the same time concerned. I walked near him. His attire looked expensive and so did his shoes.
"Excuse me! Do you need help?" I ask.
"NO I dont need mercy." He replies in a British accent.
"You are Cleary not a state of sitting here." I move a step closer.
"I said I do not need your help, why don't you leave me alone. I suggest." He says.
"Sir I'm trying to help you." I say.
"Then don't." He snapped. Too arrogent to be a person.
I couldn't leave him alone not in the state he was near my building and i noticed him what if he gets killed I wouldn't like a police matter.
I rang James.
"HEY could you come near the end of the bungalow?"
"Yes. Wait there. Is there a problem?" James sounded concerned.
"Seems to be one." I say.
In a few second I notice James. He walked to me slightly running as his ginger hair shined in the moon light.
"Hey are you fine?" He ran to me.
"Absolutely. But this man." I look at the fallen person.
The voice of sirens were now audible. As the cars stops near us a cop steps out.
"Miss. Corsair?" They ask.
"Yes. I called, that man seems to have trouble." I point at him.
"Thank you to inform us we will take over from here." They say.

"Who was that boy?" I ask.
"I don't know." He nods.
"The one in your apartment." I giggle.
"Oh that one." He blushes.
"OH is he Micheal?" I smile.
He nods a yes. "Im so happy for you." I smile.
"Michael would like a dinner with just the three of us. You me and him." He looks at me as a giraffe looks at a goat. He hovered over me.
"Count me in." I jump.
Ignore any mistakes it is just the first draft. I'm sorry for so.

I hope you like it.
