I groaned as I rolled over to turn off my annoying alarm clock. I really didn't feel like getting out of bed to go to my boring job as an article writer for News 14 Charlotte.
Don't get me wrong, I love to write, it's just my job mainly consists of lazy co workers that I have to share an office with, and my annoying boss that gives me a tremendous amount of work everyday! The only reason I was still there is because they paid good money and I wasn't going to pass that up!
The only thing that made me excited about another week day is that today is October 24th, my 21st birthday, and it was also Friday!
I took a quick shower, then blowed dried my hair and instead of straightening it like I usually did, I decided to curl it.
When I was finished I put on my favorite floral dress with my pair of leggings, along with a black jacket and my favorite short black boots to go with my outfit.
I added a bit of mascara and eyeliner to make my dark brown eyes pop. I took one last look in the mirror before grabbing my purse and phone and headed out of my room.
I was half way to the front door of my apartment when I was embraced by my roommate/best friend, Leah Belle.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" She screamed while picking me up and spinning me around in circles.
"Leah STOP YOURE GONNA MAKE ME SICK!" I yelled at her, making her put me back down.
"Come on I made your favorite breakfast!" She said while grabbing my wrist and pulling me towards the table.
I examined the table, which consisted of eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice, which was in fact my favorite breakfast.
"Thanks Leah, but I have to get going." I said as I turned for the door.
She grabbed my wrist once again. "Oh no you don't!" Pulling me back and forcing me to sit down in front of a plate of food. "You don't have to be to work until 10. It's 8:57!"
"Ok ok I'll stay!" I said.
I eat my food quietly, as Leah made sure that I eat every bit before letting me get up.
"So what do you have planned for us tonight?" I asked her as I rinsed my plate off in the sink, knowing she probably had another night at the club planned, where I usually third wheeled with her and her boyfriend Austin, while she tried to find a hot guy for me to dance with, but most of them turned out to be drunk and horny jerks that only tried to get in my pants.
I had to admit I was pretty good looking, with my long brown hair, tan, flat stomach, nice curves, short but skinny legs, and I had pretty big boobs and ass, but I wasn't that kind of girl that gave her body up to just any guy.
"Well I wanted to go to club space to celebrate tonight, if you're up for it." She said.
I rolled my eyes. There was no way she was going to let me spend my 21st birthday sitting at home alone and watching Netflix all night.
"Ok I will." I told her.
"Well that was fast. I thought you were going to put up a fight about it." She said.
"Well maybe it's worth it." I grumbled, grabbing my purse again and heading for the door.
"Fix that attitude! It's your birthday biatch!" She yelled after me.
"Yeah yeah yeah." I said, slamming the door behind me.
I went straight to the break room for a coffee when I got to work. A coffee was well needed with a job like this.
