Mercedes smiled a greeting at Elena the receptionist as she walked to the elevator. Elena returned the smile and went back to work.
She got into the elevator and pushed the button for the topmost floor. As she rode the elevator, she noticed that the others in the elevator were wearing wide smiles.
"Hey, Nixie," Mercedes greeted her friend and co-worker. "Hey," Nixie replied with a grin wide enough to rip her face. "What? Why are you smiling like that?" She asked her smiling friend.
"You haven't heard?!" Nixie practically shouted. "Heard what?" Mercedes asked, looking around at the smiling faces of her co-workers. "Well, you know that Mr. Hernandez has retired," Nixie started. "I know, I am- was his assistant." She interrupted her friend.
"Shut up and listen. As I was saying, now that Mr. Hernandez is gone. Mr. Bravo, the owner is taking over his position." Nixie updated her friend on the latest office news.
"So, there is gonna be a new cocky bastard that I have to suck up to, to get my bills paid." Mercedes stated with distaste. "Oh, come on. I don't think he will be as bad as Hernandez." Nixie tried to assure her. "But still a cocky bastard anyway." She sighed.
"To make things better, he is extremely good looking." Nixie smiled wider at her friend. "Ugh, don't give me that face. I'm not going to try to seduce him. Remember what happened with that guy, two months ago?" Mercedes reminded her friend.
"Okay, so it was a bad idea to get you to try to seduce that guy in a coffee shop. But in my defence I didn't know the guy would pull down his pants in front of everyone and ask you to suck his dick." Nixie defended herself.
Mercedes shuddered at the image she had tried so hard to forget. "I was so embarrassed." She groaned and hid her face in her palms. "Mr. Bravo isn't that guy. At lease he isn't crazy enough to show his dick to everyone." Nixie said, earning a look from Mercedes.
"Nixie, Mr. Smith is asking for you." Richard, one of the interns at the company said to Nixie as he passed by. "Thanks Rich," she called out to him. "Sorry, Mes, I have to go. Later." She apologized and walked away, mumbling to herself.
Mercedes walked into her office, switched on her computer and got to work.
Lunch came by quickly and and Nixie came to get her. They walked to the diner down the block. Their favourite eating place."Hi Iggy," they called out simultaneously to Ignacio the owner of the diner. "Hey, how are my favourite girls?" He came over to envelope them in a hug. "The usual?" He asked as he showed them to an empty booth. "Yes, thank you." They answered in unison as they sat opposite each other. "Anytime," Ignacio said with a smile and walked away.
"So, the new boss comes in tomorrow." Nixie said, smiling at her friend knowingly. "Please don't remind me." Mercedes groaned. "Mes, you need to get laid." Nixie pointed out. "Preferably not by my cocky boss." Mercedes argued. "Why not?" Nixie whined. "Nix, he is my boss!" Mercedes groaned, frustrated. "Fine!" Nixie huffed as the waitress brought their food.
They changed the subject of their conversation as they dug into their burgers. Nixie filled her in on the latest gossip as they ate.
They headed back to work and broke apart when they got to the topmost floor.
Mercedes went back to her office to finish her reports and had them filed.She started to play games on her computer when her phone rang. It was her sister. "What do you want Hannah?" She asked into the phone, her voice emotionless. "What? So now is it a crime to check up on my little sister?" Hannah asked hoping to thaw her sister's iciness. "What do you want Hannah?" She repeated.
"Mom said to see how you were doing so how are you?" Hannah asked. "Great. you?" Mercedes replied. "Good," Hannah said. "Now you know how I am. Good bye."
"Wait!" Hannah stopped from hanging up. "What?!" Mes barked into the phone. She and her sister had never been on good terms and their relationship had worsened when she decided to move to the city to live amongst humans.
"Can we meet and talk?" Hannah pleaded, something Mes had never heard from her sister. "Why?" Mes asked. "Mes, we are sisters. We should act like it." Hannah sighed into the phone.
"You sure don't act like it." Mes grumbled into the phone. "I know. That's why I want us to talk. Please." That last word had Mes grinning like an idiot. Her sister had never begged her before but she still wasn't going to act like they were fine with each other.
"Why now and not when we both were living in the same house?" Mes asked calmly. "Mes, I'm sorry. After you left was when I realised I needed and loved you more than I thought." Mes could already hear the quiver in her sister's voice and if she didn't end the call soon, Hannah might start to cry.
Her prayers were answered when immediately, Nixie walked into her office. "Hannah, I have to go. I have work to do." She said and mouthed a 'thank you' to her friend. "Okay then I'll call you later." Hannah sniffed on the other end. "Yeah bye." Without waiting for her sister to say goodbye, Mercedes hang up.
"Thank you. You saved me." Mes said to her friend as she leaned into her seat. "Who was that on the phone?" Nixie asked. "My sister." She answered, her face scrunched up in disgust. "You have a sister?" Nixie asked, surprise written all over her face. Mes only nodded.
Nixie didn't prod. She had known Mes for almost a year and she always knew when to stop asking questions. It was one of the things Mes loved about her
"So, the new boss," Nixie wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Mercedes shifted slightly in her seat. She always got a weird feeling whenever he was mentioned.
"Not again," Mes groaned as she stretched. Nix opened her mouth to speak but before she could, a knock was heard. "Come in," Mes called out and Richard popped his head in. "Nixie, Mr. Smith. Again." He said and she nodded quickly.
"Nix? Are you and Mr. Smith...?" She trailed off. Nix bowed her head as a blush spread over her face. "Ahhhh." Mes nodded, laughing. "Shut up." Nixie shot and left her office.
After Nixie was gone, Mes played games online till it was closing time. She shut down her computer, gathered her bags and left.
'What is it?' Mercedes asked her wolf when she got home. 'I don't know' was the only answer she got.
Without paying any attention to the odd feeling she was having, she went about her own thing.
So, this is the first chapter. Please tell me what you think and please vote.
