The Assistant's Dilemma

Ch.1

(6:10pm)

"I got the job!" I jump up off my couch as I read the email on my phone

"The assistant job?" My best friend Angelina turns to ask me

"Yes! I start Monday morning!"

"Which means we have to party tonight and celebrate" she says

"Of course that's what you say" I smile

"Plus with this job you aren't gonna be going out as much"

"You got a point .... I mean I'm only an assistant" I shrug

"Unless he's one of those bosses that makes his assistant run to get him coffee every minute of the damn day" she rolls her eyes "do you even know who he is?"

"Well I know his name is Giovanni Ford , well um Mr.Ford. I also know he owns the company and yeah"

"Mr?" She chuckles

"I have to be professional , I work for him"

"Is he hot?"

"Girl I don't know and I also don't care , he's my boss Ang"

"Well I know but it would be nice"

"You're too much"

Before we continue I should introduce myself.
I'm Courtney Rhodes , I'm 24 years old. I live here in Baltimore Maryland, born and raised.
I lived with both my parents , I was an only child. I met my best friend Angelina in 3rd grade after we paired together for an drawing assignment. I'm not sure what to tell you , life is boring. Nothing really happens. I'm single , been single since high school. I know a long fuckin time. I love love I really do, which means I just don't get with anyone. If I don't feel something real and big I'm not gonna pursue it. Which also means I haven't felt a big spark with someone in about 6 years. I've talked to people but it never went anywhere.
But besides that ...... that's my life.

"Alright when are we going out and what are we gonna wear?" Angelina ask

"Oh we are really going out?"

"I would never lie about partying" she rolls her eyes and stands up "so I suggest we get ready"

(9:32)

Of course we're going out. We decided we're going to some club not far from my place.
We've been there a couple times , never had a problem. I mean we're just going for a good time after all. Some dancing and a lot of drinking , the usual.

We get out of the Uber after saying thank you our driver. She grabs my hands as we make our way into the building as the music get louder and louder the closer we get to the doors.

"Does Dylan know you're out tonight?"

"Yes yes , he's not happy but he's not my dad"

"Why is upset?"

"Because he says I go out too much , when I do not plus I get my shit done"

Dylan is Angelinas boyfriend. They've been together for about 4 years.

"He'll probably start arguing wit me when I get home but imma just go to sleep and talk to him in the morning"

I laugh at her as we walk in and see people every where and I mean they are every where. Dancing , smoking , drinking , talking or even making out or maybe having sex ..... I can't tell.

"Is she naked?!" Angelina ask

"Uhh I don't even know let's just go this way"

"Good idea"

We make our way over to one of the bars. "What are we thinking" I ask her

"How about 1 of everything?" She suggest

"I said I wanna have a good time not die"

"Alright alright , lets start of with some shots and see what happens next"

(1 hour later)

"I love that song" we start walking off the dance floor after dancing for about 20 minutes.

"I can't tell" I say before accidentally bumping into something that was walking my way.

"Oh I'm sorry" I apologize

"Watch where your fuckin going" the lady looks at me and says

"Excuse you?"

"You heard me , watch where you're going" The light brown haired women says again. Her light green eyes widened as she speaks.

"I'm not gonna argue with you so I'm just gonna go"

"People don't know how to watch where their walking" I hear her as she walks away.

I make my way back to Angelina. "Who was that?" She ask me

"Some mean mugging ass bitch"

"I don't wanna fight in this club , but I will"

"Alright alright lets not get thrown out of here please" I tell her "not gonna let some grumpy bitch ruin our night"

"Especially when we are celebrating your new job , this is great and we are having a great night!!"

"I'm kinda nervous though"

"About that job? why?"

"What if he's like a huge asshole that thinks he's better than everyone"

"Well He is the big boss around so I wouldn't be surprised" she says "just don't let him make you do anything crazy like rub his feet or something cause nooooooooo"

I laugh at her "that's an immediate no"

"I would hope so"

(The next morning) I wake up on a couch not my couch. Angelinas , I'm not sure what time we came home last night but I do remember staying here last night.

I sit up with a massive headache with the sound of Ang and Dylan arguing already.
I see my phone on the floor next to me before grabbing it to read the time 12:41 in the afternoon.

I grab my bag hoping my belongings are in there. As I stand up the arguing gets louder as they make their way downstairs.

"Oh my gosh Dylan shut it!"

"You were out till 4 in the fuckin morning!"

"So what?!?"

"grow the fuck up , all you do is party!"

Angelina walks in and looks at me "Hey girl" she says with an exhausted look on her face.

"Don't walk away from me Angelina!" Dylan walks in and sees me

"Oh uh hey Courtney" he says and I wave.

"Here I'll take you home" Angelina grabs her keys but Dylan takes them out her hand.

"I'll take her home , you need to lay your ass down" he says

"Umm give me my keys"

"Angelina just for once be quiet and listen to me , lay down , you're hungover and still damn near drunk"

"I'll call you later Ang" I smile

"Fine , I'll see you later"
