"Happy Birthday toooooo you!!!!"
"WOOOO!!"
I looked around the room seeing the faces of all the important people in my life, my eyes brimming with tears of joy. Today, I turn 25 years old and that means...presents! Most importantly money from relatives yayah! I'm still a struggling journalist alright, I gotta pay the rent somehow!
"So Mia how does it feel to be 25, single, and broke?" Asked Janice coming up from behind me, smirking.
"It feels great! Like I'm really living on the edge...oh I almost forgot to ask, how does it feel to have baby puke and shit on your shirt all the time?" I said in a sickeningly sweet tone. Janice let out a fake laugh. Ever since last week at the mall things have been kind of off between us. I just can't place my finger on what it is but somethings not right, for sure. The party was coming to a close and guests started to file out the door. It was one in the morning when the last stragglers left, drunk and laughing. As I began to clean up I noticed that Janice left her wallet here, she must have taken it out to show the other guests pictures of her kids. Another thing that annoyed me about Janice was her reluctant feelings towards technology. While I was on my phone for more then half the day Janice refused to use it for even pictures. She preferred to use a camera. I decided that even though it was late I would head over to hers and give her back her wallet before I forgot. If Janice actually used her phone I could have called her and told her she left it and had to come pick it up, but her issues with technology prevented this convenient solution. Groaning I grabbed my Honda civic car keys--a graduation gift from my grandparents, yah like I could afford a car! And started the five minute drive to hers. Her door was unlocked which actually wasn't unusual for her, both she and I had a bad habit of forgetting to lock the door. I was about to call out because I knew Janice sent her kids off to her parents' for the night when I heard groaning and moaning both male and female. What the hell!? Brody's on a business trip in Spain last time I checked! Maybe he came back early? Crap now I have to know who Janice is with or I'll die of curiosity! I crept up the stairs feeling somewhat guilty for my invasion of her privacy but it wasn't like I would be seeing anything new. When Janice and I were in college we would walk in on each other all the time. It was inevitable when both of us were always horny and looking for food at each others places. I peaked inside the room, both of them to occupied to hear me, and came face-to-back with a very muscular back. That is not Brody! Don't get me wrong Brody is fairly attractive if you go for the skinny surfer type. But this man's back was all defined muscle. Now would be a good time to drop the wallet and leave Mia! No! I have to know who's she's with! It's none of your business Mia! Ugh! Making my decision, I cleared my throat waving the wallet around in the air like a prize. Finally, both of them realized they had company and stopped. The man turned around and I gasped as my eyes met cold grey ones, that were staring at me with astonishment. Before either could say anything I let out a loud squeak, dropped the wallet, and sprinted all the way to my car. Omg this is unreal! How long has this been going on? Why would he sleep with a married women? Wait that is not the question I should be asking, men are pigs...why would Janice cheat! She loves Brody! Wait didn't he say he was looking for the girl he talked to at the club? That would be me not her! Does he know? No how would he!? He must think she's me..I mean the club was fairly dark and people have told Janice and I before that we could be sisters. We both have darker complexions with dark hair and eyes. Though Janice is more bony with A-cup breasts, while I have curves and am a D. I ran inside my place and took a breath, realizing that I was at Janice's for the rest of the night and the sun was rising, I took a shower and began to get ready for another day as a barista. Yes I know 5 years later and I still haven't found a big break. I'm only 25 okay! My mind spinning I dragged myself to work. When I walked in the first thing I noticed complete and utter chaos. Barista's were running around like wild and customers were lined up almost out the door. I grabbed Bethany my coworkers arm and yelled over the noise,
"What the hell is going on!?"
"Coffee special...new owner..free everything..2 hours!" She huffed before scurrying off to help another customer. Soon enough I was involved in the chaos to and 5 hours later my legs were about ready to fall off.
"New boss is gonna be here soon to greet all the employees.." Said Bethany, after the last customer left.
"How is that even possible? Isn't Starbucks a chain? That would mean this person would have to had bought at least 30 of these...what-who has the money for that!?" I exclaimed.
"A really rich and powerful person that's who." Answered Bethany. The bell on the door jingled and my head went down, it's something I do when I'm nervous, I stared at the tiles on the floor until two black expensive looking dress shoes blocked my view. I looked up slowly. Finally, my eyes rested on his face. I gasped in shock.
Yep, A cliffhanger I know (It's kinda obvious who it is though..or is it?!!!) I decided to write a couple parts of this story just cuz I like it soooo much! Anyway tell me what you think? Should I keep this going or would you rather I write another cute separate story...It's okay if you don't like it... I'm all ears for constructive criticism!!
