Forever Alone

Questions Questions Questions

*Esme*

        After all the questions Mikael asked me, I asked him a few. I didn't really want to ask much and seem so desperate, but he asked me a lot of questions. Does that mean he's desperate or just curious to know about me? I don't know. He asked me about my family, where I grew up, my interest, hobbies, all the basic questions one would ask to get to "know each other". I asked him the same, well I only asked about his family and why he was taking this class. Turns out that he was adopted by a family here in seattle, although he was born in California, he has a older brother who was also adopted, but his brother was from New York, and is also the guy that interviewed gabby!  He's taking the class just because he wants too, he already has a job lined up for him, he didn't say what job, but that he just needed some college experience. I told him about my small family, that I was a only child but that now Gabby lived with us due to her situation, but that she had always been like a sister to me. I also told him about my job, and that i'm taking this class because it is what's needed for a elementrary teacher. He looked at me intensively while I talked and told him a little bit about myself, which showed that he actually was listening.

After a while we we're laughing at the stories I told him about work, and all the children at the daycare center. We also did little work, just a basic rough draft on what we were going to write about, and we also went with his idea on doing a power point. We got up and walked over to class in silence, but a comfortable silence, which was weird but I liked it. I said I would sign in for us and that he could go ahead and leave, which he did and that gave me some time to think about what the hell I was doing. 

*Gabby*

I didn't have any job interviews for today, so I'm at home watching movies, waiting until Esme gets out so she can tell me what's up with Mikael. I can't stop thinking about my interview with Mr. Christopher Dalton. I don't think anyone in any interview would be asked if they were seen before, let alone at a night club. Maybe I'm reading into it to much but i would say he liked me. But what hot shot guy would go for a non-experienced, living with her aunt and uncle, 22 year old girl. So i put that thought aside and head downstairs to cook something for us. I'll probably make my favorite dish, pasta. Just plain pasta, melted cheese and slices of chicken.

I start making the food when my phone rings, "Hello?" "Hi, is this Gabriella Castillo?" "Speaking" "Well hello Ms. Castillo, this is Livia from Collins Inc., how are you?" Oh! Collins Inc. was the company that the CEO made a move on me, ugh. "Oh yes! Hello, I'm good and you?" "Great. Listen Ms. Castillo I'm calling to let you know that our former CEO was fired, due to the actions he did in your interview, and we wanted to thank you for reporting him to the board." Crap I forgot that I had written a letter of complaint to the board, I didn't think they would fire him, "No problem, I just didn't want people like me who are looking for a job and  go in for interviews and be treated like this just because he is the top CEO and can do whatever it is he pleases." "We understand, and we were wondering if you would be interested in being an assistant to the new CEO." Oh my god. "Umm of course! I would love too! When do i start?" "I will email you all the details, you shouuld be able to start within the next few days." "Thank you so much! Bye." I hang up and jump with eager. I found a job, and it seems like its a good job. We'll be able to move out sooner than expected. 

I fell asleep and looked at the clock, 5:00. Shit! I jump out put my hair up in a ponytail and go out to get Esme.  

I get to her job just on time, 5:30 is when Esme comes out, and she's already waiting for me at her usual spot. She gets into the car and sighs, "What a long day. We have three new kids and let me tell you, they are crying all day long, even during nap time! First time we have kids that cry, all of the kids we've had never ever have cried before." I giggle, "That sucks!! I'm pretty sure they just need time to adjust to this new surrounding, maybe they just moved here." "Well i hope they adjust quickly or im going to have a headache for as long as they are here." "Well I have good news!" Esme looks at me eagerly, "What?!?!" "I got a job!!" "Sweeeet!! Where at? Is it with Mr. Dalton?!" I frown and sigh,"Well no, it's at that place i told you that CEO perv tried to make a move on me. Well they fired him, got a new CEO & now they want me to be his assistant!" "Oh my god Gabby!! Thats great!!" "Yup! So we should be able to move out sooner than expected." We both grin and arrive at home.
