BIG things in a SMALL world #wattys2017

I walk in and stop just a foot away from his huge desk, I look down and observe the wood work, very rustic but eligant if I must say

"Well thank you"

I look up "huh?"

"You like my wood work miss Smith?"

Shocked speads across my face I must of said that out loud

"Yes you did"

Dang it

"Desk. Sir I was talking about your desk it is very beautiful"

"I'm sure, now please have a seat"

I obey his request and sit in front of him. He looks a bit like Phillip but more bigger in mass and taller like a sky scapper and chiselled and oh for crying out loud, I better stop these thoughts

"You have no qualifications, no experience. You barely finished high school, why should I hire you Miss Smith?"

'Fuck' I totally forgot about that, I put my head down and glare at the floor

"Well sir to be honest, I am here to live my dream"

"And what is that?"

"To be big" sounding if I'm trying to convence myself

"Well I highly doubt you could grow anymore"

"No I'm not talking about growing taller, I come from a little place inside a little country where everything is little, including the oppertunites. I want bigger"

"Oh and what do you mean by bigger exactly?"

"Well bigger buildings, bigger fields. Bigger tasks and bigger responsiblities"

"And a bigger pay check hm?"

"No, I've never had a previous job before so I wouldn't say bigger pay"

"Where are you from again?"

"New Zealand"

"Oh is that part of-"

I cut him off before he can finish that sentence that I know is coming

"NO!"

He stops and tilts his head raising his eyebrows

"Sorry, I know what you were going to ask, we're not apart of Austraila. We have always been our own country, we might be the buttcrack of the world but we are strong"

He chuckles

"And feisty, I meant no offense"

"Oh well thank you"

"So responsibility you say?"

"Yes. I don't have much sir but I know I am a quick learner if only some one would give me a chance" I whisper

"Hmm well let me think about it, I have never had a PA before and I would need that PA to take a load of my shoulders. So I will get back to you in a day or two"

"Okay thank you Mr Dawson for this opportunity" I get up and reach my hand across the desk to shake his.

When his flesh touches mine I can't help but feel tingles going down my spine, with one last glance at him I smile and say my farewells and walk out.

Reaching the elevator I sigh in relief

'Well that wasn't so bad'
