Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter one

"Emma!!", Isabella shouted on top of her voice.
She couldn't believe of all days her alarm didn't go off and her roommate was still fast asleep.
Isabella heard Emma from the next room as she jumped out of bed,
" We are late!?", they both shouted at the same time and Isabella had to laugh.
Isabella and Emma were both students and they stayed together in a small two bedroom apartment. Emma put up an add in the newspaper looking for a roommate and when Isabella saw the add and the price it was to good to be true . She called Emma straight away and when the two met each other it was love at first sight!
They were  more than roommates they had become the best of friends.
Isabella didn't want to stay on school campus because after the first month there she didn't feel at ease and safe. She was happy to know she could find her  own place even if she had to pay from her pocket.
Isabella was doing her degree in languages, she had to travel to Greece since she had decided for her final that she wanted to specialized in the studying of modern Greek and  the history of the Greek language. She had to stay there for one and a half year to complete her degree and that meant being away from her family,  by now she was use to it since she had been traveling a lot with the school but this time it would be the longest time she would spend away from home.
Isabella came from a beautiful little town in Mexico. She came from a very humble family, she was the only daughter and the apple of her father's eyes. Her three brothers loved her very much and was very protective over her since she was the youngest. Isabella always tried her best to make her family happy. She was a good student always getting good grades and she was able to get a full paid scholarship to study the one thing she was passionate about languages and history.
Since she arrived in Greece she had to rush between school and trying to find a job , since she didn't want to always be relying on her parents and brothers to help her out. She wanted to be independent and even back home she worked part time after school in her uncle's small restaurant as a waitress to get her own pocket money.

When she saw the advertisement that a Chocolate company was looking for a young office assistant for a couple of months, she tried her luck and sent in her CV like many other job advertisement that she had responded to before, but since her applications  had always been denied she expected the same with that one. That's why Isabella was so surprised when she got a call from the Chocolate company asking her to come in for an interview at 9am sharp the following Monday. Over the weekend she had rehearsed what she was going to say during the interview over and over again and now it was Monday morning and she woke up late!
Isabella hurried in the bathroom as soon as Emma got out, " I've already put your clothes on your bed!", Emma shouted from outside the bathroom door.
" Thank you!", Isabella shouted back.
" You need to hurry if you want me to do your make - up!", Emma shouted .
Emma was passionate about anything to do with fashion , that's why she was studying fashion and design.
" Emma you know I don't wear make up!", Isabella said coming out from the bathroom.
" Jeez!! When will you look a little bit more feminine!", Emma said.
" Excuse me ... I don't need make up for that!", Isabella said smiling as she hurried to get changed.
She had ironed her white blouse and black skirt that she had kept aside for any interview that she may be called in for.
She combed her long black hair into a pony tail . She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded , she looked around for her flats .
"Oh no! You are not wearing those! Not on my watch!!", Emma said coming in her bedroom with a black pair of wedges in her hands.
" It's your first  interview after so many rejects so please listen to me and fix yourself up a bit!", Emma said in a serious tone.
" Emma , how will I walk in those?", Isabella said taking the shoes from her and trying them on.
She stood up slowly and walked around and she looked at her friend and smiled , " Its actually quite comfortable!", Isabella said.
" Thank God we wear the same shoe size!", Emma said giving her a thumbs up.

" Now let me just put a little blush on those cheeks and you are good to go!", Emma said running to her bedroom and coming back with her make up bag.
" A little blush !why do you need the whole bag then?", Isabella said as Emma told her to shush.
Emma put a little blush on Isabella's cheeks and a light pink gloss on her lips .
"There! You look a little better now! Wish you could put some eye liner, it  will make your green eyes pop out a little bit more!", Emma said as they stood and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Isabella didn't have time to argue with Emma about whether she liked it or not she was running late and eyeliner was a no no.
They made their way downstairs and Isabella held on tightly to the wooden handrail since it was her first time in wedges.
She grabbed her keys from her bags and walked outside waiting for Emma.
" All the best!", Emma said kissing her on her cheek as she ran past her . Isabella locked the door and looked at her friend as she got on her scooter .
" Pray for me!", Isabella shouted as Emma rode past her.
She couldn't take a lift with her today in that outfit , she hurried by the road side to the bus stop  and she was lucky to catch a bus within seconds that she arrived there.
She sat down thinking about the interview as she checked her watch over a dozen of times.
Her tummy rumbling reminded her that she didn't have anything to eat this morning and she remembered her mother's words, " never leave the house with an empty stomach!".
She got out at her stop and looked at the tall building  and felt nauseous,
" Well , I need to drink at least some coffee before going in!", Isabella said and looked around and noticed a café right next to the building and she hurried there. She looked at the price list and checked her purse counting the money in there,
" I have enough for a coffee!", she said walking in.
She bought her coffee and was putting her purse back in her bag when someone bumped into her spilling the coffee on her white blouse.
" Oh no... !! Can't you look were you are going idiot!", Isabella shouted as she looked at the big brown stain on her blouse and she had to go for her interview in about five minutes.
She looked up and saw two young men looking at her , and she noticed that one of them also had coffee splashed all over  his  suit which looked very expensive.
" The idiot is you! You had the coffee in your hand and not looking where you were going !", the man shouted at her angrily and everyone in the café were looking at them.
Isabella was so upset and at the verge of crying that she left her coffee cup on one of the table and rushed outside and let out a deep breath .
" Aahhh... What will I do now!? This will dry up into a big brown spot on my blouse!", Isabella said angrily and turned to look around and noticed the same two young men were staring in her direction and the one who shouted at her looked at his suit and then at her  shaking his head.
Isabella looked at him angrily and mouthed IDIOT before walking away, she didn't care if he got upset at least she told him what she thought of him for ruining her blouse and probably her interview!
She looked through her bag and she was happy to see her black cardigan.
She took the cardigan and put it on over her blouse and looked at her reflection in the glass door, she knew that Emma wouldn't agree with that look but it was better than walking in like she had been rolling around in mud.
Isabella made her way to the reception and asked regarding the interview. She was showed towards a small room which there were around ten more people waiting to be interviewed . The ladies were dressed up looking like runway models and she looked down at herself and decided to walk back towards the exit door.
As she was about to walk out she wasn't looking were she was going and she bumped her head hard into the glass door and the last thing she saw  before she blacked out was the two young men from earlier looking at her weirdly.
