Finding Love In A Hopeless Place

LUCKY STRIKES

“Mhm ma answer ya phone before i through that shit” i heard laysia say while rolling over. I reached over on the table and picked it up. “What?’ i said without looking at the phone. “Sorry to wake you gen, but rick is down here starting problems again and scaring clients off” mina said sounding scared. I pulled the phone away from my face and looked at the time. It was a little after ten. “Damn i didn't know it was so late, ah mina call security and if that don't work call the cops i'm on my way” “security is already here so should i just call the cops?” “yeah” i hung up and sat up in the bed rubbing my eyes. “Everything okay? Laysia asked looking at me. I shook my head no and stood up to use the restroom after using the restroom, i washed my face and brushed my teeth with a extra rag and toothbrush malaysia gave me last night. When i walked back into the room she was on the phone and sounding very upset. “What the fuck you mean they ran up in there?” “fuck that i'm on my way that shit better get solved before i get there or else we gone have a problem bye” i looked at her as i slid my dress back on. “Calm down, everything is replaceable your life and health isn’t” she nodded her head and looked at me. “I'm calm just a little upset” i chuckled while walking over to her. “A little? The vein in your forehead is popping out. Thats a sign of stress and stress is the number one killer” she smiled and stood up. She walked in the bathroom and i continued getting dressed. By the time i was done she was walking out the bathroom. “Come give me a kiss” i walked over to her and pecked her lips. She Mugged me and i laughed. I kissed her again and she grabbed me pulling me closer to her. “Thank you” she said smiling at me. “For what?” i asked looking at her. “Calming me down, i probably would have went out there and did something stupid and ended back up in those four walls” “or worst” i added in. she laughed and nodded her head “yeah or worst but you was here to calm me down, i need that more often” i smiled and kissed her lips again before getting out of her hold. “I have to go handle something at work and imma assume you do also, so i'll see you whenever?” i questioned she nodded “call me when you get to work” “i'm going home first to shower and change” she nodded “well text me when you get everywhere you going” i smiled and nodded while leaving out. I took the steps down stairs and walked out the door. I hopped in my car and pulled off going home. Once i got home i hopped in the shower and quickly washed up. I got out and lotioned up then put on a white lace bra and panty set. I went into my closet and got out a nude shirt without sleeves, a pair of blue loose fitting slacks and a pair of nude louboutins. Once i was finish getting dressed i pulled my hair into a high bun and added some silver diamond studs. I put on my silver MK watch and a silver necklaces. I don't feel like makeup so i didn't put any on. I hurried to the car so i see what was going on at the firm.

When i finally got there it was pretty quiet. I walked to mina desk and told her to come to my office. “What happened” i asked as i sat down. “Rick came back and robin told him that he was suspended and should leave” i nodded for her to continue. “He walked up to me and asked was i serious about you suspending him, i told him yeah and he started going off” “okay i'll deal with him later what about the clients that he scared off?” “i called all of them apologize for what had happened and rescheduled them a appointment to come back in” “have i ever told you i loved you” she nodded “yup i know i'm the best” i laughed and shook my head. We talked some and i told her about what happened yesterday. After a good hour i let her get back to work. “Oh yeah Mr.Freeman made an appointment for monday morning” i smiled and nodded, i knew he would i'm good with people. I decided to call rick and have him come in so we could talk. He picked up after the second ring. “Hello” “rick, this is agenta we need to talk” as soon as i was done talking he broke down crying. “Please dont fire me please, i need this job more than i have ever needed it please” “rick how about i come over to your house and we talk okay?” “yes” i hung up and stood up then grabbed my things. I have known rick since college so i know when something aint right. I stepped out the office and hurried to the elevator. Rick lived pretty close so i got there pretty fast. I knocked on the door and his wife jamie came to the door. “Hey agenta, how are you?” she asked hugging me. “I'm good you?” “just taking it one day at a time” her eyes started watering and she looked away. “Whats going on jamie?” “rick hasn't told you?” i shook my head no. “i lost the baby” i looked down at her stomach and it did indeed look smaller. I pulled her into a hug and she started crying on my shoulder. I rocked us back and forth until she calmed down. When she let me go she told me rick was in his office and walked into the living room. Now i know why rick was acting up at work. They have been trying to have a baby for years but was having a hard time. But about 6 months ago they found out that jamie was pregnant and they were more than happy, especially rick since he found out that he was the reason they were not getting pregnant. I can't imagine how they feel.
