I walked back to my dorm with glee, I basically skipped like a little school who was just told that a boy liked her, but in this case my boy loves me. With one twist of my key in the lock I opened the door to see Brittany sitting at her desk doing some sort of work.
"Hey" She said without looking up "Hey, what are you working on" I said to her leaning over her shoulder "Just some work for my business classes" She said putting her pen down and swiveling in her chair.
"I got big news" I said to Brittany as I put my bag down "Your getting a job" she said with a smirk "No let's be realistic for a second" I said "Luke said he loved me" I said "No way" Brittany said standing up and grabbing my hands "Yes way" I said as we bounced around a screamed as if someone told us we were going to Disneyland.
"How do you feel" she asked "I mean i'm happy for once in a long time" I said plopping myself on the bed facing the ceiling "That's good Grace you deserve this" She said heading to the bathroom "Thanks" I said with a smile on
my face.
As I sat there basking in my glory there was a knock at the door, I shot up out of bed and Britt poked her head out of the bathroom door. As you can tell we don't get many visitors. "Go get the door" Brittany said "Why me you do it" I said "I answered the door last time" She responded "Are you seriously keeping track" I ask seriously.
I walked to the door and looked out the tiny peephole to see a man standing there with flowers. "Hi can I help you" I said as I answered the door "Uhhh yeah are you Mrs. Figueroa" the man asked me "Yes I am" I said "Sign here" He said handing me a clipboard with a pen attached to it by a string "And these are for you" He said taking back the clipboard and giving me the flowers "Thank you" I said taking the flowers and closing the door.
"Who are they from" Brittany asked "Probably Luke" I said putting them down at my desk "There's a card" She said "Oh" I said as I picked up the card. "What does it say" Brittany asked "It's been to long we need to talk" I said reading the card aloud "Who is it from" Britt asked "I'm not sure" I replied as I put the card down and sat at my desk.
It's been hours since I've received the flowers and it drives me crazy not knowing who sent them. Talk about a total mystery. "Knock, Knock" Luke said as he walked into the room "You know it's dangerous to leave your door open" he continued on.
"Maybe we want an ax murdered to come into our room" Brittany responded "Right" Luke committed. "Hey babe, pretty flowers" Luke said leaning over the back of my chair and kissing my head "Who are they from" he asked "I thought they were from you but I guess there not" I said.
"Was there a note" he asked "An unexplainable note but, there's a note" I said handing it to him "Woah, looks like you have a stalker" Luke said wondering at the note. "What are you going to do about it" he asked "Leave it alone" I replied "And.." he said "And nothing what am I supposed to do just put everything on hold because of one little note, come on guys get real listen I have a meeting to be at tomorrow and I can't be worried about this" I said throwing the note in the trash.
That night I tossed and turned fighting to sleep but I'm just fighting myself. I thought about everything that's happened since I got here and everyone i've ever met, playing Sherlock taking every mental note on who i've ever encountered that would ever want to speak to me or see me again.
Some time through the night I eventually dozed off until I was blinded by the speck of sun peeking thru my curtain and making a home upon my face.
I roll over to see my alarm clock flashing the numbers that read 11:35. "What" I yelled as I fumbled out of bed and onto the floor "What happened" Brittany said peeking over at me from the top of her bunk "I'm crazy freakin late" I said scampering off the ground for my stuff. "My meeting started at 10:00 i'm like and hour and thirty-five minutes late" I yelled.
I put on a pair of black slacks that was above the ankle while tucking in a cream silk blouse and quickly putting on my pink lace colored blazer. As I desperately tried to put on at least a dash of make-up I slipped on my black rome styled platforms. I quickly pinned back some pieces of hair to give an effortless look then grabbed my portfolio my phone and keys and ran out the door.
As I was running down the hallway I soon realized that these shoes were not made for running. I quickly ran down the stairs knowing that there was not time for the elevator. Pushing the door open I was blinded by the sunlight and then realized that I forgot my sunglasses. "Move, out of my way" I yelled as I people were walking by "Hey Grace" Luke said "Hi honey, bye honey" I said as I ran right past him.
I finally made it to the front doors of the building and pushed my way thru them and up the stairs. "I'm here, sorry i'm late i'm here" I said as I sat down in a chair.
"Well look who decided to join us, for a second I thought you would pass up this opportunity" Said Mrs. Dolly "I'm so sorry i'm late Mrs. Dolly I had this whole situation with my alarm clock and falling out off bed and all the running and-" I stopped to catch my breath. " It's been a long morning" I said "Of Course it had dear" She said taking a seat and sipping her tea "Well there's not much to say at the moment" Dolly said "You really want to work in talk radio" She asked me.
"More than anything" I responded "Then you got the slot" She replied standing up and walking towards me. "Really?" I questioned "You seem passionate, I like that, just make sure to be at your time slot's on time" she said smiling "Of Course, thank you so much Mrs.Dolly" I said standing up and shaking her hand.
I walked down the stairs and out of the double doors of the building and took a much needed breath of relief. I walked towards my building and i've never felt as if things were going to right. All I wanted to do was start dancing to music that only I could here but I knew that it would probably be frowned upon.
"Well someone looks happy enough to dance" Luke yelled as he approached me. It was like he was reading my mind. "Nice to see in a non- running state" He said wrapping his arms around me and giving me a kiss "I have the best news" I said holding his arms "What is it?" he asked "You my love will have to wait till I get back home with Brittany because I want to tell both of you at the same time" I said with excitement.
