Carla came in without knocking and jumped on me,literally.
"What was that for"
She smiled and positioned herself next to me "where's Cookies"
I glared at her, Sunday evening, why was she here,not that I'm complaining, I guess I am.
"That's not the question to my answer,Miss I change my hair color every five minutes"
Most people would feel insulted, but Carla,Naaaa, she's grown on me.
"Tell me if that makes you feel better,why are you shutting me off,I thought our deal was,if we have a problem, we'll sort it out"
"Don't be dramatic, it's just been three days" I looked at her and from the look on her face,decided not to mess with her, i sighed and threw my hands up "Honey,we don't have a problem,I'm sorry I didn't call,settled??"
She raised a brow "This makes us look like a couple"
I teased her "we are baby,we are" I came closer to her,which made her scramble away from me. I couldn't stop laughing.
She smiled and sat next to me "Cookies is downstairs"
"What's up with you"
Saying 'nothing' would be a lie, which Carla would easily see through and I'll have to answer to God for being untruthful, I decided to just let it out, I ran my fingers through my hair to, at least,make it look presentable.
"My boss only did all this" I gestured with my hands "because Brittany asked him to be nice to me"
Carla was indifferent "so??"
I was surprised "so?? is that what you would say??" she looked at me like I was over reacting,okay...maybe I was.
"I suspected that Brittany had an hand in it,it was time for him to treat you with respect, so what's the problem with that" she narrowed her brown eyes at me "I get it now,you feel bad??,were you expecting more??"
I rolled my eyes and got out of bed "whatever"
She blocked my way and scattered my hair "you like him??"
I snorted "he's my boss and he's a human being, why won't I like him,I like everyone I have convos with"
She stood akimbo " yeaaa keep telling yourself that"
I puffed "get out of my way or I'll do it myself" Carla laughed and hugged me "you need fun, the club's not too far"
I smiled "you really need to rededicate yourself back to Christ"
"I love you too"

"Now you see me"
1)I didn't have to look up to know who was leaning on my working table.
2)I'm not going to pretend like nothing happened (actually A....nothing happened) whatever.
3)I'm going to show him who the real A is (woah baby...way to go... you are so prepared to loose your job....again).
"Hey I'm talking to you" he said playfully.
I looked up and internally checked him out,a nude striped shirt,jeans,sneakers,wasn't he supposed to be on shoes..... his eyes...his cheekbones.....his h.... "you know,if you need a picture, I'm right here"
I pouted annoyingly " nahhh,I think I'll just pass"
"really??"
"positive"
He sighed "I'm sorry"
I looked at him and smiled,yea smiled "you didn't offend me"
He studied me "have you forgotten so soon??"
"About??"
I kept writing down the records for the month.
He shifted uncomfortably "About me talking to you because Brittany said so"
I waved it off, dramatizing with my hands "it's nothing Sir, I just thought that you were manly enough, but I guess I was wrong" I didn't look up.
He came back so fast,sternly "what's that supposed to mean"
I swallowed hard,I knew this would happen, I wanted to push his buttons so he could stop the pretense,thanks for being nice, even if you were doing it for Brittany's sake.
"I just asked you a question" he said,I looked up... "you shouldn't have gotten friendly with me,I preferred the whole insults and stuff"
"Yea,I figured" he took the elevator.
I felt dirty,really dirty,just go through it one day at a time, my mind said.
It doesn't work that way, never does.

7:30pm
Walking over to my mustang as the cool evening breeze accompanied me, pumps in hand and walking barefoot,this heels hurt so bad.....which heels doesn't.
Opening my backseat door and throwing them in "Can I see you tomorrow"
"HAAAAAAAAAWAAWAAAAA!!!"
He just looked at me,confused.
"Don't ever do that to a lady"
"I didn't do anything" I tried to catch my breath....that was scary...out of nowhere.
"Can we see tomorrow" he looked annoyed and impatient.
I closed the door and rested on the car "tomorrow is workers day off,I tend to want to stay in and eat lots of cookies and chicken and bake myself a big ca....."
"See you tomorrow"
"I'm not coming to work" I was surprised.
He sighed and unbuttoned his two top buttons. I looked quickly and looked at him "I'm your boss"
I folded my arms "I'm not coming"
"Didn't say you should" now I'm confused....wait ....what's going on in that annoying brain of his.
I looked at him and he nodded "I'm coming to pick you up"
"What...no no no no no" I flared up
"I'm not asking for your permission, goodnight Alisha"
I was confused, should I pinch myself again, nahhh that hurts
"Wait!!!!" I shouted "urmmm I'm not going to be home tomorrow" he looked at me,clearly tired, "Look,I know you're making up retarded lies" OUCH "but we are going to talk tomorrow whether you run to the end of the earth or not,goodnight and don't call yourself a Christian if you won't practice the word of God to the latter,"
"Did Brittany tell you to do this" I should slap myself.
He stopped and looked at me, expressionless "Don't you dare mock me, goodnight Alisha and shut your mouth"
I stood there and watched him walk away......Wow,nice shoulders.
