Chapter 1: The Begininng

JayyyBird20 here's that tag you asked for sis

A long Tuesday in the making, it was the good Afternoon and I was going to have to return to work, my break coming to its end. Being a assistant to one of the busiest people in Manhattan wasn't easy. It was more like annoying and fast.

Especially when she called me in the middle of the night. Although she was big maintenance she was sweet and she loved me. We were like close friends, and she treated me like a friend. But just because we were close didn't mean that she wasn't bossy.

But she was lenient with me, always letting me get away with things. Letting the job be easy for me with good pay. It didn't help that she had this man that always came in to her office.

He was a total player, always playing games and he gets around. Erik Stevens was a fuck boy and I seemed to be the only girl who knew that. Everyone else would just fall and be puddy in his hands. All he had to do was flash those gold canines and he had women running.

I seemed to be the only woman to not fall for his tricks, well me and the women he deemed as ugly. He'd come in flirt with my boss Celeste and then leave and I'd see him entertain women as he walks outside.

He didn't care about Celeste and when I brought it up, she'd get defensive. I eventually stop trying and just let it be. If she got hurt I don't have to feel bad, because I told her so.

At the end of a hard working day, this pencil skirt was ready to come off, this blouse was ready to fly and these heels were ready to be thrown in the closet.

"Are you finished for the day?". I asked tired and toes cramping.

"I'm finished for the month." She giggled.

"What you mean?"

"I'm taking a short vacation, nothing to big. That means vacation for you to missy".

"Nah that means another job for the time being". I rolled my eyes. I wasn't rich, I didn't have money to last me a month without work. I wasn't about to take the money I saved up in the bank. I needed that for when I really wanna quick this job and live life peacefully.

But for now I was wondering how I'm going to keep money in my pocket for this next month.

"Have a good night Celeste". I turned and left her office. Hoping she'd say she'd give me a payed vacation. But I didn't hear those words leave her mouth as I left. I walked down the dark streets hoping to see something that I could do for the time being.

I can past a fancy looking place, it was nice and respectful. Some place I can get behind and looks like help was more needed then wanted.

I entered the place, classical music was playing in the background. It was emptying out but there was that one old couple that was finishing up their date that they would remember for the rest of their lives. It was sweet, wish I could find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

I just didn't think love was for me at this point. To many lying, cheating men. Hell women are becoming the same way. So becoming a Lesbian isn't even a option anymore.

Maybe I should just keep doing me, until I die. Then find a old man who doesn't care and will just hang with me until I die with all my cats.

Sounds like a plan, I always think about hiring around while I still have my looks but I didn't want to catch anything.

I walked deeper into the restaurant, taking in the nice soft relaxing feeling. Humming as I walked to the reception desk. Reservations? Or check in?
