"Hey, I'm going to the store, do you want anythin'? I asked Alex. "Why not some Wine Gums and crisps! Lets have a movie night!" He said. "I'm good with that!"
I walked across the street to Sainsbury's. I grabbed my things and went to the check out line, only to see someone I thought I wouldn't be bothered by ever again. Sydney.
Well, well, well, if it isn't...... what's your name again? I forget when I have some many people to boss around." She said rudely. "Well, I actually am doing great!" I told her about Alex and my new job at the museum. I left out the parts about my family. The whole time, I used a 'well, not to brag, but..." tone. I thought I had successfully bothered her, when she said something that made me hate her guts. "Oh, that's great! I'm taking over for Imani (my boss) next week!" She said, and then walked off. I have no idea what possessed me to do this, and I really regret it now..... But I followed her outside and punched her in the stomach. Then, I ran across the street into our flat and locked the door. "Hey sweetheart, what movie?" Alex asked. "Well, what about I tell you what just happened, and then we can discuss that!" I said. "Ok, but let me get some food while you're talking. This sounds interesting." Alex said with a smirk.
"HAHAHA you probably hurt her little body! I'm so sorry you'll have to work with her starting next week! Hey, at least you'll have tales to tell every night when you come home!" Alex said jokingly. "I guess so!" I said. We laughed and laughed on our bed for at least an hour before Alex said the best thing ever as we started to wind down. "Hey, you know what I could do! I could come to work with you next Monday! It would be great! As usual, I'm curious what you do in a museum all day!" Alex said. At first I laughed, but then I realised that would actually work! I knew whatever he did, it would be hilarious. I knew Sydney couldn't fire me, and she couldn't complain about me! I had nothing to loose. With that thought, I fell asleep on Alex while watching some old action movie.

Monday Morning

Alex's POV

"Alex, if you do something stupid, I'll either kill you or kiss you!" Annie said. "I'll take my chances!" I said. I was excited because I had a plan. I knew I would piss this Sydney girl off.

Annie's POV

I was so excited! I knew Alex would do something really stupid or offensive, and I didn't really care which one! When we got to the museum, Alex decided to pretend to drop me off, even though we took the tube here. I went straight to the employee's lounge where I knew Sydney would be because I got a 'staff meeting' email. Sydney was the only one in the room, and glared at me when we walked in. She immediately said, "oh he can't be in here, employee's on- and Alex cut her off and said, "bye love" before kissing my cheek and turning to leave. NO! I thought. Please do something Alex! And of course, he spun around and looked straight at Sydney. "By the way 'Sydney' ( using air quotes ) and then held two fingers up on his right hand, and a middle finger on his left. "Fuck you!" Then he walked out. I couldn't help but laugh really hard. "You do realise, even though I can't fire you or complain, I can still destroy your career!" Sydney said whist going red in the face. "I'll talk my chances!" I said, thinking of Alex.
