I got up and got dressed for work. I took a nice shower doing my daily thing. I got out, got dressed in some black slacks and a white dress shirt. I put on some black boot heels. I put my hair into a nice bun and I grabbed my keys and left. Without coffee and without anything. I felt kind of different. I got in car and drove to work.

No traffic, no nothing, thank God. I got there in time with no troubles. I parked and walked across the street and in to my building. I went straight to the elevator and finally got to my floor. I stepped out the elevator and went to my desk.

I heard Mr. Foster's door open and I looked up at him.

"Miss. Banks I need you with me now. Conference room." Damn. A please would work. I got up and followed him into the conference room. This is definitely a man's world. I stood at the back of the room and made sure to take notes and orders.

"What do we have gentlemen?" Mr. Foster's voice boomed in the room. I saw a man press a play botton and started to play a pad commercial. I wanted to laugh at how happy these women were in this commercial.

It stopped and all the men looked at each other. I stood with my arms crossed.

"I think it looks fine." I stared at the old man. I honestly don't know who he is. I begin to laugh and they all stare at me.

"What's so funny Miss. Banks?" Mr. Foster stared at me. Wohhhh, Now he wants to be rude as fuck?

"I mean they look extremely happy to be on their period. No woman is that happy." They all began to laugh and looked at me. Mr. Foster stared at me and I stood silently. What the fuck is so funny?

"Stick to taking orders Miss. Banks." I did the fake zip lips and threw the key. I watched them walk out and I walked behind them and went back to my desk.

Mr. Foster did not just pull that move. He's such a bitch. I feel myself get angry. I get up and walk into his office.

"Oh Good I was just about to call you in here. Sit." Again no please, but I do as I say and I sit down.

"Miss. Banks whatever that was in the conference room needs to not happen again." I do my best to keep my composure. I look at him and pierce my lips.

"Anything else Mr. Foster?" I say through clenched teeth and he looks up at me. He looks at me wide eyed and sits back.

"You seem surprised by my actions. I honestly don't know why?" Oohhhh I don't maybe because before we even slept together you were a little nicer and when you said go back to business I was expecting it to be like before.

"No not all you seem a little more rude. I'm sorry to break this to you but this is not the 60's and I'm not a woman from Mad Men that keeps her mouth shut." He looks at me dumbfounded and I begin to get up and leave.

"I'm sorry if after our little session I'm not treating you the same. I just don't have time to put my energy into you." his voice laced with a smirk. I shut the door and walked back to the desk.

"Excuse you, you piece of shit last time I checked I put my fucking energy into you for the last five years. If you want I can ruin you as well, but because I'm not a bitch I won't-"

"No it's because you don't have the guts." he interrupted me and I looked him dead in the face. No he did not.

"FUCK YOU, YOU BITCH!!!" I throw all his shit off his desk. I see him get up and he grabs my forearms.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME. FUCK YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU LIVE FOR! GO FUCK YOURSELF FOR ALL I CARE!" I open his door and pack my shit on my desk. Everyone staring at

"I HOPE YOU FIND A BETTER FUCK THEN ME AND SOMEONE THAT CAN PUT UP WITH YOUR SHIT WHILE THEIR AT IT." I find my notebook and I throw it at him.

"GO FULFILL YOUR ORDERS YOURSELF. I HOPE YOUR WIFE FUCKING LEAVES YOU FOR GOOD! YOU BITCH! I FUCKING QUIT!" Yeah I just put his business out there somewhere I feel really good. Everyone is staring I begin to walk, but then I look back at him and smile sweetly.

"Oh and Mr. Foster I'm pretty sure I just ruined you with the so called guts I don't have and Oh Mr. Foster you weren't that great remember I'm the one that gave you the ride of your life. Goodbye baby." I push the elevator button and looked at everyone.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE Y'ALL LOOKING AT?!?!" Everyone went back to doing what they were doing. I looked at Mrs. Saunders and smiled.

"Oh, Mrs. Saunders you can be a slut now." the elevator doors opened and I stepped on the elevator and pulled a cigarette out and put it in my mouth. I stepped in the lobby and out the door. Oh fuck how will I pay my bills? You know what Nicole you'll make a way. You did when you first bought the house. Go back to bartending. Michael did say I have a place at his bar anytime I want. I go to my car and I light it.

I begin to drive to Michael's a classy bar downtown that attracts all of the glamor girls. I had fun there, it was a great place. I walk in to Michael's and their cleaning up and getting ready for tonight.

"Is that Miss. Beautiful Nicole." I smile at Michael the owner of the place. I go up to him and hug him. He kisses both of my cheeks.

"What you need darling?" I sighed and looked at him. I gave him the puppy eyes and looked at him a long time.

"So Michaelllll you know how you said I'll always have a place here?" He smiled and looked at me.

"You don't even have to do the whole puppy dog eyes to get what you want. Start tomorrow mamí. Come in around 5 and help set up the place for me." I nod my head and hug him tightly.

"Why y'all setting up so early?" He pulled out a cigarette and lit it and began to smoke.

"We're having a woman's wedding reception here. Got paid big bucks so you know no doubt turning it down." I nodded my head and looked at him. I missed him I had a crush on him, but I was pass my whole wild days. He's such a beautiful person. He was born in Texas. Parents are from Mexico.

"Okay well have fun. I'm about to leave sir." I hugged him one last time and left.
