Tricks Of Passion

Chapter 2

"You did what!"

"I swear I didn't know who he was! I've never seen him before."

"I worked my ass off for that interview and you've already embarrassed me!" To say she was upset was an understatement. I didn't realize how much her career was on the line. But how was I supposed to know who he was? Plus, who ask someone for napkins while they're eating anyways.

"Relax I'll woo him so much tomorrow he'll forget all about it, plus I don't think he will really care."

"Then you clearly know nothing about him, he takes that company very serious." She scoffed.

"Or maybe you're just being dramatic." I rolled my eyes. She was known for exaggerating things. I once had a small pet lizard and when I showed her she went around telling everyone I had a Comodo dragon. The thing was barely bigger than my pinky.

"Be realistic Sophia, you don't get to the top by singing nursery rhymes with your enemies." I followed her as she walked to my kitchen. If she was hoping to find something to eat in there she was going to be severely disappointed. 

"God why don't you ever have food?" I giggled as I heard the refrigerator door slam.

"That's why I need this job, so my refrigerator can be fully stocked for your benefit."

"Well I got to go anyways, my cousin is visiting." She grabbed her purse as I followed her to the door.

"Which cousin?" I asked curiously.

"Brad, you know the one you have a major crush on." She winked at me. I felt my cheeks start to heat up. I do indeed have a crush on him. I mean have you seen the guy? Who wouldn't, and he's such a gentleman. I first met him when Aly and I were working at the diner and he came to visit her. I thought it was her boyfriend at first and felt bad for practically eye raping him. He lived in the next town over, so he visited whenever he had time off from work.

"I don't have a crush on him!" I'll never admit that fact to her, she'd have us strapped together for a week if she knew I truly liked him.

"Keep telling yourself that, then I guess you don't mind coming over for movie night tomorrow?" She smirked at me.

"I don't mind at all."

"Bye see you tomorrow then." I closed the door behind her smacking my forehead. What was I thinking? I can never function properly around Brad. She'll for sure find out I like him now. I sighed making my way to my bedroom, it was almost midnight. I needed to get as much sleep as possible to prepare myself for this interview tomorrow. I slipped on my favorite pajamas, blue and purple with puppies on them, before sliding into bed.

Waking up early the next day was harder than I anticipated it to be. Apparently going to sleep at 11:30 was not an early enough time to sleep. Feels like I just dozed off. I looked over at my alarm clock to see I had two hours before the meeting. I yawned as I got out of bed, making my way to the kitchen. I think I have time for breakfast. I grabbed a bowl out the dish washer placing it on the table, before grabbing my favorite cereal. As I ate all I could do was think. Was I ready for a professional job? Could I really handle working with such a successful company if I were to get it? All I know is being a waitress, how will those skills fit in with this? I dumped my bowl in the sink as I went to my room to get ready. I settled on a blue skirt with a black blouse. I didn't have many professional attire, I should've called Aly over for help.

I laid it out on the bed as I went to take a shower. I didn't bother getting my hair wet cause it would take long for it to dry, I didn't have the time. After getting dressed I checked the time to see I had only thirty minutes left. Where did the time go? Lucky for me the building was only twenty minutes away.
