"YOU WANT ANYTHING?" jenna said as she walked into bella's office. "a cherry coke or an energy drink? i know you've got a long night ahead."

"i'm good, thank you." bella said as she continued looking through some more files. "i'll see you later, hon." it was past 6:30 on a friday afternoon; on a normal friday afternoon, bella would be out driving around the busy streets of los angeles in johnny's bright red firebird, with the radio turned all the way up.

but, this wasn't normal for 6:30 on a friday afternoon. bella was up to her heels in paperwork regarding some new inventory coming in. she had been working on this all week and wanted to finish as soon as possible before moving on to something else. the thing was tonight, she and johnny were going on a date. she let out a deep sigh as she reached to grab the phone when it began to ring.

"hello?" bella sighed, grabbing a folder and placing some forms in it.

"you sound exhausted." johnny chuckled on the other side of the line. "how's it going, babe?"

"let's just say i'm knee-deep in paperwork." bella said, putting her pen down and rubbing her eyes. "and it's a good thing you called because that date we have on for tonight; i might be a little late."

"actually, i called to tell you the same thing." johnny sighed. "some guys and i are working overtime to finish installing this roof. we probably won't be done until later. you wanna just do this some other time?"

"we'll see what happens." bella said as she twirled the phone cord through her fingers. "i'll see you later. i love you."

"i love you too." johnny said as he hung up the phone. "i'll call you."

bella hung the phone up as she let out a frustrated sigh and walked to the filing cabinet, placing some files inside. she turned the radio on, turning up the volume being that she was the last person on the floor as the dj introduced the next song;

it's friday, la! that rough week is finally over and now it's time to party before monday comes around again! so whether you're heading home, having a drink, or still out there working, this one's for you.

a heavy guitar riff introduced the song, as bella turned up the volume a bit more as she recognized the familiar tune by poison. she roughly closed the filing cabinet as she sat back
down and finished up her last batch of papers.

the same guitar riff was heard from the radio that was in the back of a truck as a group of men gathered around an ice chest, drinking some water before going back to work.
