"So! Your getting a job?"

Freddie asked punching the punching bag more with his boxing gloves.

I said, " Thinking about it, Deaky suggested it yesterday..."

POW POW!

Freddie wiped sweat off his head with the towel said, " Well, but do you want to do it?"

I said, " Maybe... I haven't had a job other than working at that clothing shop we started together during our last year of college! Well your last year."

He continued to punch asked, " Why are you so worried about this again?"

I said, " Cause I don't know what to do!"

He asked, " What did Deaky say? Like what are you supposed to do?"

I said, " Well, I'm like a maid ot house maid of some sort working for this multi-billionaire. Since he is very busy, he needs an assistant. Which would be me. I have to like: clean around the house, make his meals, and help him with his work,"

Freddie placed a hand on his hip asked, " Whats so hard about that?"

I said, " Well- a lot! Like, how am I supposed to approach him? Do I just barge in? That'd be rude if I do that, I don't even know if he is nice. "

Freddie said, " You'll have to find out! Maybe ask John about it? He'll have all the details I'm sure,"

I said, " Your right,"

Freddie continued punching the punching bag said, " Oh, and I heard about your break up with Sarina..."

I asked, " Yeah? What'd you hear?"

Freddie said, " How much of a bitch she was when she cheated on you! Man- I didn't really like her in the first place and-"

I said, " Freddie!"

He asked, " What?"

I said, " I don't want to talk about it!"

Freddie sheepishly said, " Oh. Sorry,"

I said, " Its fine... I should focus on this new job, it'll be a good distraction. "

Freddie asked, " So, you are taking the job?"

I said, " Yep. I'll call Deaky and let him know,"

-◇-

I sighed holding the phone in my hands pacing up and down my room.

Many thoughts kept flying through my head making me very anxious.

What if he doesn't like me?

What if he thinks I'm stupid?

What if he doesn't want me?

I sighed frustrated and hesitantly clicked the call button on Johns contact.

...

"Hello?"

I gulped said, " Hi John, "

John said, " Oh- Hi Roger! Whats up?"

I asked, " Y'know that job you talked to me about?"

He said, " Yeahh... What about it?"

I said, " I'll take it,"

John asked, " Wait- really?!"

I said, " Yes! I'll take it!"

John said, " Great! I'll send him a email so he can set up a day to interview you, I'll let you know the results okay? "

I said, " Alright, thank youu,"

I heard him smile through the phone said, " Your welcome, bye now."

I said, " Bye."

Click.

Ending the call, I flopped on my bed.

"Geesh. I can't believe this is happening."

I rolled on my stomach staring at the wall my anxious thoughts being replaced with this new job.

What am I going to wear?

What should I say?

How should I act?

Sitting up, I groaned.

I'm worried again.

"C'mon Rog. You shouldn't be worrying about this... "

Right I'll be fine.
