I groan out of frustration when my character in Blockcraft falls in magma. I'm about to start again when suddenly my laptop is slammed shut by my ,very angry looking , boss Mr. Meyer. I swear is Shrek and a Pitbull had a baby, Mr. Meyer would be their love child.

I clear my throat and sit straighter in my seat, preparing to be fired. I know what you're thinking, If I keep getting fired why come back? Well, Mr. Meyer says that he still needs me, no matter how "annoying" I am. I am not annoying! I hear a snap and I come out of my daze, meeting the gaze of my boss.

"Yes, sir?" I asked in a meek voice, afraid that if I said it too loud he might fire me for good. "YOU'RE FIRED," he screams in my face, making spittle land on my face and on my poor coffee cup that I was holding in my hands "FOR GOOD!".

Well...so much for forgiveness.

"Mr. Meyer, I would do anything! Just don't fire me!" I beg him. I see a hint of a ghost smug smile on his lips, but doesn't show any other indication of what he's feeling. "Well there is one thing you can do," He said as he took a step toward me, probably seeing disgust-filled gaze, he looked panicked and a bit disgusted "ew no, I want you to meet my nephew". Before I could object Mr. Meyer also said "If you say no, you are fired" I sigh and reluctantly nod my head yes.

I guess I have a date now.

I play with my dress in between my fingertips as I wait for my date, more like my boss's nephew, at the fancy restaurant that I made a reservation at. What, just because I didn't want to go on this date didn't mean I didn't want to eat. I sigh as I realize that he's not coming and I order some fried shrimp with cheese. As I was halfway done with my food I see that a guy with a hat covering his face walk toward my booth. Curious, I stop eating and stare at the guy as he sits down after looking around "Who are you?" I ask him with shrimp still in my mouth.

Classy Shaylynn, real classy.

I start choking on my shrimp as I get a look at the guy without the hat. Dear god of cheese, who sent me this small piece of heaven?

"My name is James, your boss's nephew" James says as he picks up a menu and looks through it briefly before putting it back down. Now I wish I didn't know who sent him to me. I take a deep breath and say something I REALLY should have kept in my mouth "your uncle is a jerk" I say while, ACCIDENTLY, spitting some shrimp onto my plate. Thankfully James doesn't notice and instead he laughs. "I know right" he says after he calms down while giving me a smile.

The rest of the night went perfect
