Rising Star

Chapter 3

The next day, I woke up to my phone ringing. I took the phone off of my nightstand and I accepted the call. "Hello?" I asked wondering who was calling me at this time. Well to be fair it is 8 in the morning. 

"Finally you picked up", a familiar voice said. 

"Gemma. You woke me up" I said sternly into the phone. 

"Awww did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" she said with a pouty tone. 

"Yes" I said annoyed. 

"Why?" she asked. 

"Because you woke me up!" I shouted into the phone. 

"Oh sorry I just have some news to tell you" she said with a sad tone. 

"It's fine just tell me the news" I said while I let out a sigh. I got up from the bed. I immediately started shaking because of how cold I was. I laid back down again to feel the warmth of my bed. 

"So basically I met this guy" she said as I could tell she was getting happier and happier when telling me the story.

"Oh you might a guy?" I said with a smirk.

"Yeah..." she said while letting out a little giggle. 

"What is-" I started to ask until I was interrupted by my mom coming into my room. She came in and started coughing. 

"Hey honey just wanted to let you know that I am leaving for work. Bye sweetie" my mom said as she placed a small kiss on my forehead. 

"Mom have you been feeling okay? I've noticed you've been coughing a lot recently" I asked concerned. 

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm sure I just have a slight cold or something" she said with a big smile. "Anyways I gotta get going bye love ya honey" my mom said as she opened my door and walked out. 

"Love you too" I said to my mom even though she already left, "Sorry my mom just came in" 

"Oh it's okay" Gemma responded.

"What were we talking about again?" I asked confused. 

"The guy that I met" she said excitedly. 

"Oh right. What is his name?" I asked her. 

"He has such a HOOOOTTTT name" she exclaimed so loud into the phone that I had to back the phone away from my ear. 

"What is it?" I asked again. 

"Enzo" she said "Enzo Adreano to be exact"

"Ooooo that is a hot name" I said with a smirk.

"I KNOWWWWWW!!!" she shouted loudly. 

"As much as I would love to talk to you about boys, I have to get going to work" I said as I heard a little sigh coming from her side of the phone. 

"Oh okay have fun. Are you free later?" Gemma asked. 

"I get out of work at 5 so we could do something after" I responded. 

"Sweet. I know just what we are going to do" she said in a mischievous tone. 

"Can't wait. Gotta go bye" I said.

"Bye" she responded and I then I ended the call. 

I got up from the bed. I literally stretched for about 5 minutes until i went over to my closet to pick out what to wear for work. I can only wear dress pants. I remember when I didn't and I got yelled at so much my Josh. It was scary. 

I picked out these olive green dress pants put them on. I could tell they were getting tight because I was struggling a lot to get them on. I looked through my clothes and found a cute purple top with white stripes. 

I took went to the drawer and took out bra and underwear. I put them on and looked at myself in the mirror. I need to lose weight. I put my shirt on and went over to my nightstand and took my phone off the charger. I went into the bathroom and took out my toothbrush and toothpaste. I started to brush my teeth. Minty. I took out some floss and and started to floss my teeth. When I was done, I put the used and gross floss in the garbage. After, I took out my hairbrush and started to brush my hair. I always had to have my hair up in a ponytail so while holding my hair with one hand, I used my other hand to get a hair tie out. I put up my hair and put on deodorant. 

I walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs. I took some cereal out of the cabinet and took out the milk. I grabbed myself a bowl and ate some cereal.

I started driving to work and when I got there, there were so many police cars. I parked where I always park and I get out. I see one of my coworkers and I ask "Hey why are there so many police cars?" 

"I don't know. I'm as confused as you are." responded my co-worker, Amy. We walked through the back door to the cafe and we put on our aprons. 

"Hey Josh what is going on with the police cars?" I asked my boss, John

"Apparently some guy stabbed and killed his wife" he said nonchalantly like it was no big deal.

"Oh my gosh that's awful" I said with a hand over my mouth. 

"Yup real awful. Go bring this to table 3 please" he asked me while holding a mug of coffee. He had literally no emotion. A dog could be dying on the road and he wouldn't even shed a tear. 

I looked at who it was for and that's when I saw his name. 

Enzo Adreano. 

AHHHH I hope you like it so far. I am loving writing this story.
