What Am I? | Victoria De Angelis

chapter 4: no peace

I woke up feeling really tired. I didn't sleep the entire night. I looked around and saw that Victoria wasn't in the bed anymore. Thank God. I stared at the ceiling for a bit and then it hit me.
Christmas is in 3 days. I need to get everything ready! My family is coming over.
Before I could keep thinking, Victoria came in.
"Good morning, I hope you slept well. It's around eight so you should start getting ready. You are going to be the bands assistant, or have you forgotten? The meeting is at nine so I advise that you start right now. We'll have breakfast after the meeting," she smiled and walked out.
I had completely forgotten.

I was going to be the bands personal assistant!I quickly got up and started to get dressed in the same clothes that I wore yesterday.
I grabbed my purse and headed out.
"Okay, I'm done."
"Let's go then!" She grabbed my hand and we went to her car.
We both got in and she started driving.
The drive was pretty quick.
She parked and we got out.
There was a huge building in front of us. I got nervous. I was gonna finally have a real job.
We walked in and got into an elevator.
"Vic, I'm nervous."
"Don't be. Listen, everything is gonna be okay," she patted my back and smiled. I smiled back.
The elevator door opened and we stepped out. We kept walking until we saw a big gray door.
Vic opened it.
Inside was a lady with red hair who I assumed was their manager and of course the rest of the members.
"You must be Angelica! Nice to meet you, I'm Greta and I'm the bands manager. Sit down, please."
I did as she said. She pushed a piece of paper in front of me. She then started to explain what I would be doing as their assistant. It seemed pretty easy. Help them carry stuff, wake them up, book hotels... "Right, this is the contract. Read it and sign it."
I read it really quickly and grabbed the pen to sign it.
And so I did. From now on, I was their assistant.
"Amazing! Your job will start around January 5th or 6th, I'm not sure, but I will call you. Give me your number, please."
I gave her my number. 

------------

It was almost 7 pm. Me and Vic agreed to have a 'sleepover' since I have never had a real one.
The doorbell rang. I quickly trotted over to the door and opened it. I was honestly quite nervous of how she would react to my apartment. She doesn't seem to like Jesus and God very much and I have a painting of a Jesus in my bedroom.
She came in and gave a hug. I saw that she had a bag in her hand.
"Since I wanted to eat cake, I decided to get us some baking supplies so we can bake one. And also, that way we can become better friends."
"Oh, cool! Follow me, put the stuff here."
We both started to get the stuff out. There was flour, eggs, oil, butter, milk... basically everything you need to bake a cake.

I grabbed a few bowls and set them out. Soon, it got pretty messy. There was flour on the floor and on our faces. Vic decided we were having a flour fight instead of baking a cake. I've never had so much fun in my life.
Our faces, hair and clothes were now full of flour.

"Maybe we should clean this up?" I suggested. Vic nodded. "Agreed, but um, where do we start? There is so much!" I got one wet and one dry towel and we started cleaning the mess.

"This was so much fun. But now we really need to put the cake in the oven," I said as I got up from the floor.
"I'll put the cake in the oven and you go take a shower first. I caused this mess after all," Victoria insisted. I nodded and thanked her as I skipped to the bedroom to get clean clothes. I decided to grab my pj's since it's a sleepover after all. I went into the bathroom, stepped in the shower and turned on the warm water.
It felt so nice.
I got my shampoo and started washing my hair, that was full of flour.
-------------
After my beautiful and very needed shower, I got dressed and went to the kitchen.
I got in the kitchen and saw that the cake was already baked, frosted and decorated. There was no Vic in sight.
How long was I in the shower for?
I looked at the clock and saw that I had almost spent TWO HOURS in the bathroom. I started panicking.
Did she get too bored of me and decided it was best to leave?!
Oh my-
I went to the living room and there she was. There was no more flour on her head. She fell asleep on the couch. I felt so bad. She was so nice that she didn't leave me even though I did spend too much time in the bathroom. Vic was in deep sleep so I decided that I was not gonna wake her up. I went to the bedroom to grab my pink fluffy blanket.
I got back to the living room and threw the blanket over her. I smiled and went back to my bedroom. I got in my bed. I did not sleep that entire night. I kept thinking about Victoria and her calm little face.

 She looked so beautiful.
