Chapter 2: Why Me!

When I got a call early in he morning I was hella irritated. Even more so when I seen Celeste's contact name on my phone screen.

I tried my best to conjure up a decide attitude, before I spoke to her. As she was getting on my nerves by just calling me. But she was still my boss, she was just on a vacation.

"Hello Celeste!" I asked

"Celine? I need your help". She cried into the phone. She sniffled as if she had been crying. Probably because of Erik. Even though I tell her about Erik I always find myself comforting her. Still she's dumb.

"I need your help. Erik told me he went to a party, but he hasn't came back yet and I'm worried. Can you go find him?"

"Why me!" That was totally above my pay grade. I get paid to help her, not be her boyfriend's babysitter.

"I need you. Please. I'll pay you". I groaned and agreed. I was pissed but money was money. And I needed it right now.

"Fine, but if I don't find him in 1 hour I'm declaring him dead and you better call the police". I hung up the phone and she sent me the information of the party. I swear she was taking up my time.

It was 1 am in the morning and I'm out being babysitter to a grown ass man. I didn't even change from my pajamas it wasn't cold out. My spandex shorts would just have to suffice for now. I pulled a cropped sweater over my head, and slide on some Nike's, leaving the comfort of my house.

I decided upon taking the car I owned knowing it was going to need it. It was a expensive car gift from my rich friend. The car cost over 200k and I took care of it.

I hopped in the front seat, of the red interior car. Turning on the car and making it come alive. This car was always fresh and clean, on the outside and inside. I didn't let people bring food inside this car, or even drinks. I didn't want a accident to happen because that's a fortune to clean it out.

I pressed the button on the inside of the car, and the car came to life. I slowly pulled out, turned the car wheel and I out on the street. The streets were empty so I didn't have to shy from the speed.

The address was in my iPhone and I followed the instructions, my phone softly at me. I pulled up in front of some fancy rich person's home, the flashing lights that came from the home and the loud music told me that the part was still going on.

Why can't Celeste see....

I pulled up in front of the house and locked the doors, the street around here was crowded with cars already. Some weren't even nice, some looked like buckets. But I wasn't one to judge, I just have one thing to do here.

I walked into the party, the loud knocking and dancing was obnoxious. People swaying around from all the drinks they have had. The smell of expensive liquor, and weed all intoxicating. Under different circumstances I would be able to get down, with some friends and throw it back with a couple of drinks.

But since it's 1 am and I have a job in the tomorrow, I want to actually make a good impression I need sleep.

I'm still upset that I'm playing babysitter to some grown ass man. I couldn't find him and I was getting annoyed. Then that's when I spotted him with his lips on some chicks neck. I rolled my eyes and walked over they shoved his shoulder.

The girl was obviously annoyed that I interrupted their session, but I just wanted to get home and get back to sleep. "Hey don't touch my boyfriend".

"He's everyone's boyfriend get a clue". I sassed as I pulled his arm. I might have blown his playboy cover, but his attitude and actions have blowed me getting a full night of sleep.
