"They say love makes you do crazy things...well, I never knew he would be my reason behind it."
Giselle Washington was born and raised in New York City. After moving out on her own, she realized her job as a nurse wasn't going to be enough to pay th...
These 7-7 shifts are kicking my butt! Every summer the emergency room becomes more and more hectic. It's either someone playing with fireworks too early, gunshot wombs or a pregnant lady ready to give birth on the floor. I might complain about being busy, but it wouldn't be so bad if everyone pulled their weight around here.
I chose to work at a hospital on the bad side of town. There's more money in it for me since no one wants to work at this location. I guess that's why no one does shit and leave it for someone who loves their job to step up.
I finally looked at the clock to see how I'm 45 mins away from being off! I can smell freedom a mile away. After work, I'm going to head home and meet up Starr. We've been talking about that new club. The Black Swann, that just opened up in the Upper Eastside. I would love to work there on the weekend since I work Sunday-Thursday now. The perks of working here...a schedule of my choosing. Things are sweet so I don't want to quit anytime soon.
A cute bartending job will do since during college, I did that to save up and move out of my parents' house. Those classes surely did pay off because I'm finally able to do what I want, when I want! Two nights are all I need to make a pretty penny and then I have money to use on a rainy day.
Looking at the clock again, 5 mins is all that has passed. Sighing, I went back onto the floor as my beeper went off. This is about to be the longest 40 mins of my life!! Ugh!
Meanwhile...

"Are the shipments ready for pick-up? I need them here before we open up tonight! Also, Gio is everyone prepared? I need this night to go perfect. Make sure to keep a close eye on who's in and out frequently or looks suspicious. If you pick up on anything alert me and take them to the Dark room."
"Yes Boss. Everything should go smoothly tonight. And we have some people coming to try-out like you insisted for all positions."
"That sounds great! I'm glad you're my right hand man, Gio."
"You might be the Boss, but you're still my best friend first."
"Family First."
Family First.

I finally made it home as I greeted the doorman before walking into the building. There stood Starr...my best friend waiting patiently for me as always.
"About time, your ass made it here! I feel like I've been waiting forever!"
Starr was always so dramatic, knowing damn well she just got there but only a few mins before me. I guess the life of a fashion consultant can be stressful when you are dressing NYC's Elite. Starr was 5'5" with caramel brown skin, hazel eyes and large bouncy curls. She was gorgeous and every girl in the city envied her. I know she has about 10 outfits in her rolling bag that I wasn't looking forward to trying on. She's all about glam and I'm all about comfort. Tonight hasn't even started yet but I already knew things were about to go in the wrong direction.
