Secrets

Chapter 9

"The bitch screwed me." I scream at my best friend Jenny.

Jenny had been my friend since we were little, we living in a small town in Texas. While I wanted to work for a book publishing company, she wanted to work with fashion. We both had gotten in to NYU luckily. And when we graduated we bought a apartment together.

Jenny got paid way more than me, because she was already high at her company. And the fact that she worked for Vogue. Me. I was just staring, I wanted one day to actually get my book published.

"Listen I know she sucks ass-" she says, as I interrupt her.

"She is ass," I say, earning a big grin from her.

"Yes, but she's your boss. If you ever want to get anywhere soon, then you have to deal with her shit seriously. She doesn't completely hate you, you're almost there. Just wait." She says.

It's true, she almost likes me the most. Of course I have to be in an amazing mood. One time she asked me to go get her coffee. I blew steam, I was so mad. She has her own goddam assistant. Four of them.

"Yeah, and I have to go back to the gym tomorrow, and I know he's gonna give me a hard time. Last time I couldn't even walk." I say.

"Is he hot at least?" She asks, making my mouth open.

"Really? Is that all you care about?" I ask.

"Well I mean, kinda. I don't think I would want a ugly trainer. Maybe you should try and be friends with him I mean-" I don't even want her to finish her sentence

"That's totally out of the question. He can't have friends, he's the rudest person ever." I say, as I cut in.

"Okay well maybe you need a little movie night with the group, you know I heard from Miles that Ansel totally has the hots for you, for a while actually." She says, earning a mouth drop from me.

"We've been friends since we were toddlers. That's so illogical. I could never see that, and I feel bad. Because the group always has sleepovers when we hang. Should we not have a movie night then?" I ask.

"No way! Even if he does like you, he is not stoping the fun. He can leave for all I care. I just need you to have a good ass time. So tomorrow? Okay see you at home. I'm gonna be late for work." She states, while she grabs her coffee, and waves to me on her way out.

"Okay!"

When I check the time it's 2:37. Lunch breaks over. I get up and throw away my trash, and leave with my coffee.
I was never a big fan of coffee until I had to start working, and get up at 5. Then I just got over the taste, and didn't care.
When I get to the office I see Violet, and she looks up for her desk and smiles at me.

"Hey, anything new?" I ask.

"Umm yes you got something in your office." She says, pulling a giant smile on her face.

With my confused look, I just stare as I walk to my office. I grab the silver knob and turn it, and I'm greeted with a giant bouquet of red roses.

I'm baffled, the only thing I can say it "HOLY SHIT!"

"Shhh, hahah. Remember we're at work." She reminds me.

"Look." I say pointing. "The card," as I grab it I'm hoping it's from Ansel, I mean that would make sense.

These roses remind me of your beautiful red cheeks, when you get a little embarrassed it's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
