I looked back at Luke who gave me a glare then nodded his head. "You have five minutes" I said taking a seat and Luke and Brittany excused themselves.
"Grace I-" I cut her off and began to rant "No,You don't get to talk first" I paused "how could you leave and never bother to come back, why on earth would you just leave, do you know how worried dad and I were, we never stopped looking for you and now that things are at a high point in my life you just randomly show up" at this point I was frustrated and walking around the room.
"I can explain everything" she said "Well then go ahead, I would love to hear this story" I slapped my hand to my thighs. "I was pregnant" she mumbled "I'm sorry what" I moved my head forward shocked to what my ears had just heard "I was pregnant with Mack's baby, that's why I left" she was fidgeting with her hands looking down in her lap.
I was taken back on what was just revealed to me, I had no emotion except complete and utter shock. "I'm an aunt" I asked "Yes" she nodded her head "Blair, what the hell, you were fourteen" I stuttered "I know" she mumbled "Your an aunt Grace, his name is Reed and he's four, I would like for you to be apart of his life but if it's too much for you I understand" she stood up, grabbed her purse and walked towards the door leaving me by my desk. "Wait" I shouted "Is that all you came here for" I asked hoping it wasn't "Yes" she opened the door and left.
Luke and Brittany came in and asked me a million questions so, I explained everything to them, and told them why she left. "You're and aunt" Luke was taken back "by my deceased cousin" Brittany added "Yes" I calmly replied. "How do you feel?" Luke asked "I feel like I need some sleep" I looked over at the clock that showed eight o' nine.
I grabbed Luke's car keys and walked out of the door, "Guess she's staying at my place" Luke shrugged and followed after me.
I don't drive, not that i'm bad at it, just never felt the need too. I had my license I had a car that I took out here with me from Cleveland but never really drove it, but for some reason today I wanted to drive. Last night I stayed at Luke's place I'm not sure why, it was just an instant reaction. Today was my first day at the radio station and my time slot was at twelve in the afternoon and I couldn't be more excited.
I was on my way to the station blasting my radio with the sound of Aerosmith and Kenny Loggins. Today I was wearing light blue jeans with a black t-shirt, a long cream knitted cardigan, and a pair of light brown booties.
As I parked the car I grabbed my purse and walked up to the building. "Hi can I help you" the front door secretary asked "Yeah i'm Grace FIgueroa I'm the new-" "The new talk show" she finished my sentence. "Yeah" I smiled "You are second floor down the hall third floor the the left" she explained handing me my key "Thanks".
As I unlocked the door there was someone already in there setting things up. "Hey i'm Carson" the guy introduced himself "Let me guess that's your last name" I asked "Actually yeah my name is Josh Carson" he stook out his hand "So you just James Bonded yourself" I shook his hand "You could say that" he smiled.
I put my purse down and sat down in my chair and messed with some of the buttons. "Listen I know i'm like super attractive and all around a good guy but i'm one hundred percent gay so don't get any ideas" Josh said walking thru the door that separated us. I swiveled around in my chair looking at him "Good I'll make sure to tell my boyfriend that".
Josh is my producer, so i'm sorta like his boss. I talk into the microphone and he directs me to people call's and some other stuff that I can basically do myself.
"Grace, fifteen seconds" Josh announced over our shared speaker "Cool" I responded. "Good afternoon everyone you're listening to daytime EBF and i'm Grace Figueroa" I announced over the speaker "I know i'm not the usual person you hear at one in the afternoon stuck in Tampa traffic but i'm sure you'll soon get to know and love me" I let out a small chuckle "I will now take any of your calls" I continued on.
For the rest of the time I answered questions people had and talked to people all over the world. It was nothing like I had expected it, everything just came easy to me. I guess I was made for this sorta thing. I was enjoying myself at a job that I dreamed to have, how many people can say that.
"Well it seems that our time has come to an end, thank you for listing, this is Grace Figueroa from EBF afternoon" I signed off then proceeded to take off my headphones and lay back in my chair.
"For a first timer, not bad" Josh sorta complimented me as he got up and stuffed a laptop into his satchel "Don't know if that a compliment but i'll take it" I smiled. I looked over to my phone that was lighting up with Luke's name on it.
"Hello" I greeted after swiping left "Hey honey are you off of work?" Luke asked me "Yeah I just have to get some papers and i'll be out of here at four" I replied "Good because we're going house shopping, i'm board and I need to get out of this frat house" he stated "Okay i'll meet you at IKEA at five" I let out a small giggle "Okay i'll see you then" he hung up the phone.
"Who was that" Luke asked "My drug dealer" I said with a straight face. Josh walked closer to me and whispered into my ear "Donovin?" my eyes widened "Luke" I walked out of the office and into the elevator.
"Hey Honey" I chirped as I got out of the car and saw Luke. He walked over to me with his breath taking smile and kissed me placing both hands onto my waist. "How was work" he asked pulling apart "My co-worker may have a drug dealer" I smiled "Never thought you would say that did you" He let out a chuckle.
