It was finally the day that my sister and her husband were coming over. I started cleaning at 7AM. It's 9AM and I'm still not done. "Can you calm down, I can practically see my reflection through everything in this place" Lina says. She was right, I shouldn't be worrying this badly about her coming over.
Once I finished cleaning the dining table, I put all my cleaning supplies away. I walked into my room and laid out my outfit for the day. most of my clothes were not approved in my sister's eyes, even though I'm an adult. I pulled out a black Cami body suit with some light baggy jeans. This was probably the most approved piece of clothing I have other than my work attire. I rushed to the bathroom and took the quickest shower I've ever taken. I quickly get dressed and apply at least 20 pounds of the perfume she got for me one Christmas. I don't wear it unless she comes over.
I slicked back my hair into a bun and put on some light makeup since she believes heavy makeup isn't feminine. I love heavy makeup by the way.
Once I was finally ready, the doorbell rang. I quickly run to the door and open it to see...who the hell is this?
It was the man from a few nights ago.
I looked up at him and wow, he looked so much better when he didn't look depressed. He wore a tan polo sweatshirt with black cargos. His hair was much more well-kept since the last time I saw him. I also just noticed his hazel eyes.
"Can I help you with something?" I ask. "I just wanted to say thank you for taking me back to my hotel a few nights ago" he says. Did he actually come all the way over here to tell me that? I mean I don't mind but still. "Oh well, uhm, your welcome. It was honestl.." "OMG IS THAT ZRYAN REYER?!" I turned to see Lina standing in shock. Zryan Reyer? That name was very unique, remind me to give his parents a pat on the back.
"Omg! I'm such a big fan!" She says as she runs up to the door. "Oh well thank you." He says. "Why didn't you tell me you were friends with THE Zryan Reyer?" Lina says to me. "I...uh..." "I was just thanking your friend for a couple nights ago. And also remember that the event is tomorrow night" he says.
I had completely forgotten about that.
"Oh, yea I'll be there." I say. "Great, now I have to go" he says. He then walks off to his car. "BYE!" Lina shouts at him. He doesn't even turn around to even wave at her. Celebrities I swear.
As I shut the door, I felt Lina punch me in my shoulder. "Ow, what the hell?" I say as I grab my shoulder. "When were you going to tell me, you were friends with THE Zryan Reyers?" she says. "well, I didn't know he was famous" I say. "How do you not know him? He's a big-time champion Kickboxer! Everyone knows him" she says. "well, I didn't know" I say.
I never paid any attention to stuff that involved sports. I've probably watched one kickboxing event and I was in high school around that time. I walked over to my room, I decided to look more into this guy. I grabbed my phone and searched him up.
Zryan Reyers, champion Kickboxer and #2 in the nation. He was born here in America, but his parents were born in Bretagne, France. He became one of the best Kickboxers at the age of 18, and still holds that title at 29.
Damn this guy is old.
Turns out his birthday was coming soon. That's fun.
As I kept digging deeper into his life, I noticed an article. "Kickboxer, Zryan Reyers and his girlfriend Jada Quinn break up after she was caught with Kickboxer, Damian Graves." Oh, so that explains why he was at the bar that night. I was shocked there was no article about that night, I guess the journalist didn't expect him to be up at those hours.
As I kept looking at the article, I heard the doorbell ring again. I put my phone down and walked over to the door. I take a deep breath before answering. "Hey Nova" I say as I open the door. "Hello Serenity" she says. She gives me a small hug before entering my apartment. I then greeted Noah and give him a hug, expect his actually felt like a hug. "So how was the flight down here?" I say as I close the door and walk over to the couch. "It was quite short since we took the jet" she says. She walks over to my couch and sits down. As she removed her heels, she looked at me with a concerned look. "Are you still roommates with that Lina girl?" she asks. "That Lina girl is standing right here". I turned to see Lina standing at her bedroom door that was practically in the living room.
"Lina. Nice to see you again" Nova says. Lina doesn't respond and walks to the kitchen. We sat in awkward silence before it was soon broken. "So Serenity, how have you been?" Noah asks. "I've been pretty good. What about you?" I say. "well, I've been pretty good. I've been getting a lot more clients lately" he says.
Noah owns 7 hotels in New York. And they all are very exclusive. Some people think Noah is just some rich guy, but I see a nice, caring guy who's very successful and cares for others. How did my sister get this guy?
"We're attending an event tomorrow night. We were hoping you guys would join us" he says. I looked at Nova, who was giving me an arched eyebrow look. Before I agreed to the invite, a reminder popped in my head. "I can't tomorrow night, I actually have an event I have to attend too" I say. "I hope you're not bartending the event" Nova says. I looked at Nova and she could tell by my eyes my answer. "Serenity, bartending can't be your whole life. It's not feminine and you need a career and a REAL job" she says.
She's been telling me that since I started the job. It really does piss me off, but I have yet to be able to say anything.
