"What did you tell Alisha"
She looked at me,obviously confused,
"What did I tell Alisha?"
"You heard me well Brittany,don't joke with me"
Stunned,Brittany stopped arranging the files on her desk "Alisha and I talk about different things,so be specific and sit"
Fair enough,I sat on the brown couch in her office and she joined me.
"Did you tell her that it was because of you I talked to her"
"Not in the way you put it,but yea"
Running my fingers through my hair "She's pissed at me"
Brittany raised a brow, clearly not getting me or either pretending not to,
"Alisha is pissed at me"
"I know" Brittany gave me a weak smile. I stood up and started pacing "what am I going to do,I checked her files and decided that she shouldn't just be a front desk attendant or secretary or whatever,I invited her for the meeting with the communication line"
"She thought I told you to??"
"Exactly" I screamed, i sighed "I have to get back to work Bri,we'll talk later"
She nodded, almost walking out of her office, she nudged me.
"But we both know that you wouldn't have let her back in or apologized if I hadn't insisted"
I walked out,the bitter truth is that,I would have,but it would have taken forever to do so.

"Surprised to see you Belle"
I smiled "how are you Alfredo"
"I'm good belle"
"I just want strawberry ice cream,lots of toppings" "Okay"
Alfredo pecked me and shouted to Nicholas,his cousin, "strawberry ice cream for belle,lots of toppings"
Why do I care about what motivated Terrence to speak or apologize to me in the first place but I still do.
And here I am,thinking that he decided to actually get to know me.
Yeaaaaaa right....well think again Alisha
I was a little surprised when he said he checked my files and I might be getting a promotion,I doubt that now.
I noticed Alfredo leaning towards me, I was shocked "Alfredo,what are you doing"
He laughed "I've been here calling you belle,why are you thinking so hard"
I smiled and took my ice cream from him "Don't mind me Alfredo,thanks a lot"
"Anything for you belle"
Work wasn't as joyous as the last couple of days, coming into work and my boss shouting a movie name,expecting me to get it,or sliding into my workspace and seeing a little note 'you better watch this movies', the smile that gets out even when I pretend like it doesn't affect me anymore, the new movies I get to watch.
Why are you pissseeddd Alisha.
"ughhhhhhhh"
I dumped myself on my bed and sleep took over.
