Night's Out

Chapter 5. Kendall

Driving down Main Street of little Greens Burg Oregon has always been part of my routine sense I started my job as a spokesperson for Monster. Honestly small town city life just left right to me. True Greens Burg has grown so much over the years and the best part. Most of the shops and restaurants and stores are all mom and pop business or small food or store chains. Greens Burg has always had its old and new buildings and they always complemented each other. I stop at one of the 4 stop lights in Town when my phone goes off buzzing. I tussle around in my bag and find my phone reading the name of the number. Shit- it was Jenna. Jenna is my supervisor and might as well say my boss. She's cool but when she calls me it's always about something. I answer the phone putting my best voice on.
"Hey Jenna sorry if I'm running late at all I'm on Main Street now about to turn on Hopkins Drive. I should be there soon." I could almost here the sound of slurping of some kind. Odds are. It's ether a Whiteclaw or a heh a Monster.
"Oh! Great. I was going to tell you Kelly there's someone coming in to pitch a new design for a New flavor brand for Monster and I talked a little and told them about your sweet ass art skills."
My mouth could no longer function in that moment like what? No way Jenna actually talked about my art skills to some sales people!? God damn it! I have no idea wether to be happy or pissed but I know one thing. I'm going to pitch a design and I'm going to give it my fucking all! Look out Monster, Kendall is going to blow your mind.
"Wait so there waiting for my ideas Jenna?!"
"Yes girl! Look your sales pitches and designs have made such a mark. Plus we gotta talk about our next sponsorship at the next race."
I sighed turning onto Hopkins Drive and look ahead with my phone on speaker phone.
"Alright so wether it's about my art or not Jenna I still gotta be there for the sponsorship anyway."
I here Jenna take another sip and almost squeal.
"Damn right! Also if things go well who's knows maybe you'll finally be able to move up to head designer supervisor or something right?"
Damn she knew me to well....Being the head design supervisor has always been a goal of mine. Sense like the dawn of time sense I started my internships there practically. So if Jenna is dangling this gig in front of my face now? Oh....my.....god...maybe there is a chance after all! Fuck yes!
"Yes oh course Jenna I'll talk to them."
"Yes girl yes! Your not going to regret this I have high hopes for you kisses and love see you when you get here."
I wait till I here the hanging up sound on my phone and I quietly scream in my car. Yes yes yes! A thousand times yes not only a Promotion but in a way I'll be Ashes higher up. Let's go!

I finally made it to the decent sized office building in Greens Burg it always had that old bur modern look to it. It sometimes true needed a cleaning on the windows or the stones needed some weeding. But still I always enjoyed coming to work. I walk in and scan my badge. The building always had a bleach and lemon smell to it. To first time visitors or new employees this smell would almost feel to much. But I got used to it. I turn a corner to a hallway with many different offices and small conference rooms. The walls and floor had this dark and kind of plain dark theme to it. You wouldn't expect this to be a Business branch for a Widely colorful and edgy energy drink. But the true magic hid behind a pair of light brown heavy wooden doors. I scan my ID and walk in to a colorful room filled with large desks and work spaces the walls had edgy paintings and street art on the walls. With artists and designers working and talking. This was the area that always spoke to me. I spot Jenna over looking a designers rough sketch and pointing things out. I let my heeled Sandals make noise so to maybe grab Jenna's attention without saying anything and interrupting. I had my hair down long today cause eh. Why not. Sometimes just having my hair down felt good made me feel like I would breath especially when my work attire is a dark top with a jean jacket and dress jean capris. I saw Jenna look up and flash that signature hazel eyed smile.
"OH my god! I'm so glad your here the guys are in the conference room E12."
Jenna always had a way of cutting to the point while I'm a good mood she always wore something with loose fabric shorts. Today she wore a purple dress shirt with loose fabric shorts and shoes. She almost looked like she came back from a work out but that was just her work attire.
"Alright thanks Jen."
I turn and walk to the conference room I tried so hard to hide my smile I had to be serious. I was at work now. But god how could I be serious I was excited like a little school girl.
I take deep breaths and relax. So of course a little self speech wouldn't hurt.
"You got this Kendall. You got this, you got this, you got this," I nod and put my hand on the door turning it slowly knocking. I walk in and....lord kill me now......two men and sitting in a seat and to the side of the square table in jeans and a nice button up. Is non fucking other than Ash Seal. Why is this happening. Why is he here?!
