Angel

I walk out of the café after collecting my coffee, thankful for the bitter taste in my mouth as I drink it. I make a mental note to call Natalia the girl who just gave me her number in the café. I have been living in this city for four years now and I haven't found anyone I liked enough to be in a relationship with. Put it down to being a shy introverted person who prefers their own company compared to being around a lot people however dating in this city is also hard.

Every time I went on a date with someone they never called me back and when I gathered enough courage to call them they wouldn't answer the phone and it would just ring, I guess they didn't like me or enjoy the time we spend together. So, eventually I gave up trying to date and just focused on work. But Natalia seemed nice enough so I'll call her but I won't raise my hopes up this time . Whatever happens happens.

I take the short walk from the café to the office, see, I work at Black Corp, the biggest company this side of the world, I have been work there for over three years now as the assistant to my department head, a mean old man who just makes us do all his work and take credit for it while he lazes around all day. At this point I don't see myself getting a promotion soon. I sigh as I walk into the tall skyscraper and take the elevator to the second floor.

I greet my colleagues , Jean and Donny as I enter the office, I don't like working here, it is so dull and boring but they make my days better with their bubbly personalities. On my first day here they marched up to my cubicle and demanded that I be their friend and eat lunch with them and I was thankful for that as I was nervous and shy. I don't make friends easily because I struggle when talking to people so I just keep to myself but it comes naturally with them also they do all the talking . I though working here would be really hard because of the person who owns the company but it turns out I'm in too down a floor to have a hard time but people in the upper floors aren't having as easy a time as I am.

The CEO of this company is quite demanding I hear and if you don't do things the way she wants then you get in a lot of trouble. I don't know her as I've never met her. I've only seen her in pictures and my deduction is this : I wouldn't want to mess with that woman, better yet I hope our paths never get to cross. Some rumours says she is in the Mafia but I wouldn't know, I tend to remove myself from such gossip.

"Hey pumpkin, whatu doing?" I look up from my computer to see a pair of blue eyes peering down at me. " Jeany, I'm just finishing up the report for Lazy Ass in there, what's up?? I ask, she has that glint in her eyes that tells me that whatever is about to come out of her mouth next is wild , this girl and her crazy adventures I think rolling my eyes.

"Don and I are hitting up that new club tonight and we were wondering if you could join us ?" She says giving me puppy dog eyes which never really work on me anyway. "The last time I went to a club with you I ended up forgetting the whole night and woke up with a headache from hell so no way hozay no thank you." I say returning my eyes back to the computer. The truth is I don't really want to go to the club because I don't like being in crowds as they make my anxiety to get worse and it gets uncomfortable really fast.

"Pleaaaaaaaase, pretty pleaaaaaaase" she says raising her voice making other people in our department look at us weirdly, I know if I don't agree she will keep on pestering me so I do what I know I'm going to regret the moment I enter that place "fine I'll go so stop making noise people are looking at us" I say through gritted teeth. She squeals excitedly and skips over to her desk.
What have I gotten myself into, i think to myself as I focus on work dreading the end of this day already.

When it was time to clock out I promise Jean that I will meet them there and for her to send me the address and make my way home since it's Friday I'm wearing casual attires as per our office rules but I feel like I need to freshen up before I can go anyway. As I leave the building I feel eyes on me, call me crazy or paranoid but for the past three years I felt like I was being watched which didn't do much for my anxiety. I look around me not seeing anything, maybe I'm crazy, is my though as I make my way home.
