"Hello?" I say trying to hide my excitement. "Hi, Justin?" Says the man with the blonde hair and blue eyes, my Brett. My heart skips a beat. "Oh, hi. How are you?" I say back. "Hi. I'm doing well, thank you and we'd actually like to have you start tomorrow if that's okay with you?" He says through the other line. Holy hell, I got. the. job. "I'll start tomorrow, sir. What time?" I say. I'm shaking already. "Three thirty, sharp." He says with a laugh. He must have read my record, I think. "Yes sir." I say with a giggle. "Alright. Take care." He says, clearing his throat. "You too. See you tomorrow," I say. And that's that. Oh hearing his voice makes me go crazy. I go to the living room, pick up my Ipod, and play "Its Like That" by Mariah Carey. I pick Milo up and start dancing with him. He hisses, but I don't care. I'm happy. Dance with me, my child.

"How are you?" Says my best friend Tasha, staring into my eyes. "I'm doing great. Especially since I got the job." I say with a huge smile on my face. "Oh, congratulations!" She says handing me another beer. We are at a bar down the street from my apartment. "Have you met anyone? You've been single for sometime now." She says looking around. "Nope. But I think my new manager is fucking gorgeous." I say rolling my eyes. "I'll have to stop by. Where are you working at again?" She says. "Grand Lux Cafe. It's five blocks away from here or so." I say. "Hm. Not that bad." She says looking around. Is she expecting someone? Hm, I don't know and I don't care. "Let's get one more and that's it. I don't want to get too drunk. You're such a bad influence." I say and we both laugh.
