"Mom

"Mom...n-no yeah.... well...but the thing is.... mom!" I shouted in the phone a smile slowly creeping onto my face hearing my mom's frantic voice on the other line. "No one is going to find out I promise."

"Alright,...are you sure you're going to be okay alone there?" Mom asked worry oozing from her voice as I headed into the nearest coffee shop which luckily was Dunkin' Donuts.

"Technically I won't be alone since Jarvis is going to be staying with me," I said already picturing the eye roll. "Mom I'll be fine."

"She'll be alright sweetie!" Dad yelled starting a small argument about how I'm their little girl and need to be protected from mom and dad rebutting that I'm a strong female, while I happily ordered my dollar medium-sized coffee.

"A year away from our only daughter," Mom whined while I let out a small chuckle. "Nope, we should cancel this vacation!"

"Deborah!" Dad yelled.

"Mom...mommy, you and dad deserve this vacation," I told her in hopes of calming her down. "A year will pass by in no time. Plus! I can visit you guys whenever I won't be starting university for a few more months."

"Hey sweetie," my dad's voice rang as I grabbed my iced coffee and stepped out into the busy streets of New York. "So while mom and I are away please take care the house is sold already so all that is settled and the apartment you'll be staying is ready for you to sleep in but will stay be having a few things done to it, okay?"

"Okay, everything is set then and I should be going because I have a school to go visit to potentially get into their summer program."

"NYU?"

"Yeah and a few other universities but anyways I'll leave you guys to get on the plane and head and I'll be seeing you within a few," I told them smiling holding my arm up to signal a cab.

"About the business," Dad started just as a cab pulled up in front of me.

"I can handle it and if not me then Jarvis will. Everything will be under control I promise. Love you bye!" I quickly said hanging up on them before mom was able to come up with some random reason to not go.

"Where to?" the cab driver asked.

"15th and Hamilton the Rivera Apartment building," I informed him as he nodded driving off. "Actually," I mumbled looking at the text from my college advisor "Can you take me to the NYU campus instead?"

"Sure thing doll face," the driver said making a quick U-turn.

"Have you made a decision on where you will be attending miss?" Jarvis asked placing a plate of cheesy scrambled eggs in front of me while I scrolled through Targets website figuring out what I needed for my dorm room

"Have you made a decision on where you will be attending miss?" Jarvis asked placing a plate of cheesy scrambled eggs in front of me while I scrolled through Targets website figuring out what I needed for my dorm room.

"NYU," I said closing my MacBook pushing it aside and moving the plate of eggs closer to me. "Don't get me wrong Jarvis," I told him stabbing the eggs and grabbing a piece of toast, "all the other schools had great qualities and what not but I don't know I just felt more at home at NYU."

"Very well miss," Jarvis said bowing his head, "You still have four more months until the school year starts and just a week until the summer program starts." He finished as I let out a groan a few crumb falling as I bit in the buttered toast.

"School," I whined letting my head fall down on the table while Jarvis placed a cup of hot coffee in my hand.

"You will flourish as always miss," Jarvis said as I took a sip of the coffee.

"I guess I should go and buy school supplies and start ordering furniture for my dorm room," I said slowly mumbling the last parts realizing I was headed for a busy week.

"You also have that phone meeting with a lawyer that is going to be the replacement for the company," Jarvis said.

"Perfect," I said just as the phone rang making me quickly check the time seeing it's 9 am.

"It's actually 8 am and the meeting starts right now," Jarvis said setting the phone in front of me and answering.

"Good morning Miss Guerra this is Topanga Matthews here to convince you to let our company be your primary law firm," the voice said as I took a gulp of water.

"Yes, yes, I looked over your case history and saw that you've won so many cases. You happen to be the top lawyer in your firm and honestly there is no need for the interview," I told her smiling, "you're hired you start, it's Tuesday today and you still have to meet HR and get you into the system," I mumbled scrolling through the company tablet Jarvis was holding in front of me, "next week Monday! I will be sending you an email with the company address and number so you can schedule a time that is convenient for you to go in and get everything ready. Is that fine?"

"Y-Yeah," Mrs. Matthews stuttered before, "thank you so much I promise you will not be disappointed."

"I hope not. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email I will be free until next week Monday at 7 am okay?"

"Got it!" she said saying a quick goodbye and ending the conversation.

"And time to go!" I said loudly taking one last gulp of my coffee and heading out the door with my jacket, purse, and phone. Turning on my phone screen I saw that it was 9 am already. "I guess that little meeting to longer than I had anticipated," I mumbled to myself looking up from my phone's screen seeing that the elevator was taking long and heading towards the stairs instead. 

"Okay, what do I have to do today?" I mentally asked myself putting my headphones in running down the stairs and out into the streets. Looking around I say that the streets were already heavily congested in traffic and made a detour to take the subway instead. Typing away on my phone making a list of everything I could buy and carry myself back home from the stores I maneuvering around the endless amount of people on the sidewalk. "To target I go," I said walking down the steps to the subway terminal. "Maybe Panera too," I mentally said looking googling Panera locations as the train opened its doors. Lucky for me there was a Panera only a block away from the Target I had planned on shopping at. Smiling at myself I was about to hold on to one of the handlebars just as the train moved causing me to loose my balance and fall back landing on someone lap.

"You okay there," a voice said cautiously holding on to my waist as the train steadied itself.

"Y-Yeah," I stuttered out feeling my heart rate increase as the embarrassing scene that was happening. "Sorry about that," I said turning around to come face to face with an aggressively attractive guy with these amazing blue eyes. "Oh my god!" I said quickly standing up already feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "I'm so so sorry! I should've been more careful," I spoke out in a rush while cute guy gave me a smile and chuckled.

"It's okay," he said standing up, unfortunately, towering a few inches above me.

"Central Park!" the automated voice said throughout the train cart slowly stopping as I quickly grabbed onto one of the handles so as to not fall into someone's lap again.

"Be careful," he said noticing that I hand quickly grabbed on to the bar. Fixing his read beanie hat he gave me a half smile and nodded before walking off the cart and onto the Central Park train stop. 

"Well shit," I mumbled keeping my eyes on cute guys retreating form before planting my butt down on one of the empty spots. "So cute," I mentally thought a smile growing on my face.


I do not nor have I ever lived or visited New York City so I apologize to those who read this and live there if I got the street names and train stops wrong ;-;
