Night Swim

-Interview-

Hi guys, I just realized that I may have not described some of the characters, so here is a brief description of them. Remember everyone's imagination is different so you don't have to think of the characters the same way that I do <3

Leah - blonde hair, blue eyes, tall, very pretty smile, and always smells like coconuts.
Armi Davis - curly brunette, dark green eyes, very mature, and has old money lifestyle. More of a Tory Burch girl.
Mateo- short but straight black hair, dark brown eyes, very caring, definitely a Calvin Klein guy.

"Nylani Reid?" A man in his mid 30's wearing a suit and tie asks me while holding a clipboard and pen. He seems pretty young, am I in the right place?

He looks like he's really enjoying his job.

"Yes, that's me." I stand up from the cold silver chair and smile. "Nice to meet you Nylani, I'm Ruiz. I'll be interviewing you today." He holds out his hand for me to shake.

Hmm, he looks sweet!

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." I return the compliment while shaking his hand. He begins to chuckle, "That's a pretty sturdy handshake."

Yea I know, can we get to you interviewing me?

"Thank you."

I observe the room once more, looking at the women that are all waiting to be interviewed as well. Some are wearing shorts, and others are wearing dresses.

Wow, I'm wearing black leather jeans, a tight brown tank top, 3-inch black heels, and a Jean jacket.

I'd prefer wearing my onesie pajamas and bear house shoes, but my best friends Armi and Leah told me that I'd get ice cream when I get back from this interview if I look presentable.

They also forced me to go to this interview.

I sigh and look at Ruiz, he nods toward the elevator and begins to walk towards it with me following behind him.

Armi posted my résumé and supposedly many people contacted asked her for interviews with me, I know that I need to find my own place eventually get a permanent job but I did just turn 23 a few months ago.

It's June now and I want to watch movies while drinking bobaaaa. I don't want to work for a scary woman.

Or Man.

"So this is one of our many main buildings, if you get this position you'd be working between here and the main building that's north of Michigan Avenue." He explains while pressing the 11th-floor button in the elevator.

"Oh okay, how far are we from there?" I glimpse around the elevator, noticing that the elevator has a clear glass floor showing you the view of the cafe and entrance below.

What if someone wore really pointy heels? Wouldn't the floor break..

"We're about 30 minutes away, possibly 45 if there's traffic." He clears his throat and walks out of the elevator.

Woops, the floor was just really fascinating...

While walking behind him, the realization hits me. '30-45 minutes?' I live 10 minutes away from here, what if there was an emergency? That's almost an hour of driving!'

It's not like I even like it here, but I do feel a bit fancy walking around downtown sometimes.

We enter Ruiz's office, it's white and grey. You can clearly see the view of the busy street below.

"Please have a seat, would you like a coffee or water?"

"Um do you have hot chocolate or chocolate milk?" I love chocolate it's so good, it makes me happy.
