Gold Digger H.S

"I could really use a beer right now." I look at Noah my best friend then take a look at my phone. "It's two in the morning, can it not wait?" I ask him. He rolls his eyes and changes the channel until he finds something he is set on.

"Please?"

"I could get raped or kidnapped!" I whisper-shout scared I might wake up the neighbors.

"And? You'll live. Please?" I let out the longest sigh ever. "Fine. Your paying and I am getting wine." He hands me his card and I get up grabbing keys and phone.

I was actually surprised that the liquor store was open this late. The guy at the counter rolled his eyes when he saw me walking in. Ignoring him, I find Noah's favorite beer. "Ew, you like that stuff?" I turn my head to see a guy in a trench coat with boots and long curly hair. "Well, good thing I don't drink it," I say and grab it then walk to the wine section.

"You should try this one." The guy says picking up the most expensive bottle. "Okay, and when I win the lottery I will try it," I say sarcastically, could this guy just leave me alone?

"So much alcohol for a little girl?" He smirks getting close to me. Creep much, I step on his foot hard then as he crouches down in pain I lift his chin. "For your information, I'm 24, not some little girl." I pick up the wine then go to the front to pay.

"I deserve kisses! I had to deal with this creep to get your beer." I say plopping myself on the couch next to Noah. He kisses my cheek, "Thanks, babe. Don't stay up too late, you have work tomorrow." I laugh, "Too late."

"Wake up sunshine," I open my eyes and glare at Noah. "Never mind you look like shit!"

I laugh, "Thanks!"

"Well, that's what best friends are for." He says then leaves my room so I can get dressed. I hated work, it was hell on earth. My boss wasn't any better, she was practically a snob! She had everyone wrapped around her finger, you could practically feel her glaring at you halfway across the room.

Somehow I got put to be her assistant, seemed like I was the only one that could put up with her. That and I never took off work, I never got sick nor did I have any reason to take off work which also fit her assistant perfectly because she needed me every day all day.

"Catching a cab today!" Noah's voice rang through the apartment as I put my heels on. "Does that mean I have to?" He nods and hands a shake that he made- probably my mom sent him. "Yuck!" I pull a sour face. It smelt terrible, "Bottoms up!" He says fake cheering and we both take a huge drink out of it then spit it in the sink.

And that was my life, more or less.

My life contained me and my gay best friend, every morning my mom sending us a new healthy shake to try and no matter how many times they are disgusting we still try them. Noah was my best friend since high school after I got back from fashion college we moved in together. Most people say it's hard moving in with your best friend but we've never found a problem.

"Oh look, a new hotshot business person," Noah says looking on his phone, we were in the cab as the guy drove me to my work first. "Let me see!" I say leaning over to see a picture of the guy I saw this morning in the liquor store.

"Sugar honey ice tea!" I exclaim. "What?" He asks re-looking at the photo over and over. "That's the guy at the liquor store. You know the one I said was being a creep? I like stomped on his foot." Noah busts out laughing, the cab driver rolls his eyes.

"Hopefully he doesn't sue us! We're broke," he says and the cab driver stops making us fly forward out of our seats. "Excuse me! Why did you stop?" I ask.

"If your broke how are you gonna pay for this ride?" He snaps, Noah laughs as do I. "Lip gloss and gum?" I ask smacking on my gum to annoy him.

"Out!" He booms and Noah giggles opening the door getting out as I follow suit. Truth is, we had the money but Noah and I loved doing this because you only live once.

"Your gonna be late for work," Noah tells me as I'm still trying to catch my breath from laughing. "Race me?" He nods and we take off running.

For a girl running in heels, I won by like a lot. It's seconds after I stop in front of my building that Noah stops as well. "How do you do that?" He asks in between breaths. "Well, I am super girl!" I say flipping my hair.

"And there's your boss! Bye, love you!" I rush inside and wait for torture starts.

I hated elevators, like a lot. Seemed like every time I got in one it always got stuck. So when Ms. Grant beat me to her office I wasn't surprised. Even if I was running up the stairs.

"Mary you're late!" She says taking her sunglasses off and putting it beside her purse on her couch in her office.

"I wasn't late, I got here," I say not trying to argue back. "Yes, but I beat you to my office so and if I beat you you're late!" She says then shoves papers into my hands. "I need a copy of all of these. They need to be sent to HR and then I have a meeting this morning at 10:30 that you're going instead of me with a new client. I have more important clients to meet with!" She rushes at once and I recollect what she said.

"What's the client's name?" I ask.

"Harry Styles, new hotshot business and he is into fashion. Here's a picture, he's not bad looking if I do say so myself but please do get stuff done before he gets here." I nod and leave.

How could I get so lucky? The same guy at the liquor store is now about to be a client of Ms. Grant.

It took me about an hour to make copies and take them to HR then get the papers Ms. Grant needed for one of our clients. After that, I hunted down an intern.

"Hey, you!" I half-shout as she jumps startled. "Y-yes?" She stammers.

"If you want to make Ms. Grant happy I need you to go to the liquor store and buy the most expensive bottle of wine. Two of them," she nods and grabs the company card I was handing her. As she left Miranda, the receptionist, looked at me. "Liar," she said laughing. "Eh, I have important things and I need the wine."

In about twenty minutes later that she brings the wine back and I'm setting up in the conference room waiting. That is until Miranda pages me that Harry Styles is waiting for me.

Let the fun begin!
