MIRANDA (complete ✔️)

8

September 20th 2019.

Miranda felt exhausted, she looked at her watch that read 4:00pm. she had been assigned a new book and she was halfway through it.

she loved her job. getting this job after recently graduating felt like a dream come true. that meant she could read so many amazing books before anyone could and she would read them for free.

The one she had been assigned had been slightly slow and she found it hard to finish it as fast as she did the others.

" I'm heading home."

she told her coworker who was a copy writer as well.

she left the small place and journeyed to the big city full of noise.

she boarded a matatu and perused her phone looking at photos of Jake , she felt lucky to have someone she could tell about her bad day to. just then he called,

" hey babe, how was work?" she asked.

" it was same old, serving coffee and running weird errands for people."

he said.

" tell me about it. what I would like is to take a warm bath, get some crisps and pizza and have a movie night."

she said.

" well then, it is a plan."

she hang up.

she found Jake having bought everything and hoped in the shower where he later joined her.

they had been living together for a few months now.

" yeah when a pediatrician has a relationship with the patient, that is a real problem.'

they both laughed. the were snuggled in their apartment on their one couch that hardly fit one but somehow to them it always felt cozy to them.

when the movie was over,

Miranda looked over at Jake. " I love you."

she said and realized it was the first time she had said that to him.

Jake paused for a while ," I love you too."

they then proceeded to bed.

*

Miranda turned to turn off the alarm .

" oh my God. Oh my God. I am late."

she took her toothbrush and immediately started getting ready.

" Jake wake up, wake up."
Jake awoke as shocked as she was and were soon rushing around their small apartment trying to get ready.

In between they would glance at each other and smile.

" when did we become these people? "

she asked him now fully dressed .

" a month ago apparently."

he said.

" its too soon."

she replied.

" but its fun, isn't it?"

he replied.

" oh, you know me so well."

she kissed him and was out of the door.

*

"You are late." she found her boss sitting on her desk.

" I'm so sorry , Jacob, I...I overslept."

she said looking all apologetic.

" kid, you have to get your mind into this  world because you are not in school anymore and no one is coming to wake you up."

he said leaving to his desk.

" I'm sorry."

she repeated.

" well, it a warning.

you are still working on the Fate book right?"

he asked.

" yes, well then you can first take this book, its been well read and all, all you have to do is meet up with the writer and finish things up."

he said.

" yeah, but there is still a list of books ahead of it and we have still not gotten to meeting with them, why cant I just add it there?"

she asked .

" just do as I say."

he said.

Miranda stood there for a while looking at the the synopsis ,it was a book about some guy who went out with too many women and apparently lived happily that way.

" but sir this will not be a hit as the books before it, I don't understand ."

" its not always necessary for the books to be as interesting especially if it is alredy bringing profits. look the man who wrote this book is loaded, all we have to do is publish it before the end of the month."

she nodded and went back out.

she looked at the book and searched for a name to know which rich man had written this.

she hated the guts of them, those who used their money and power to get things in this life.

the whole country was going down to the drains because of them.

she looked at the building she was to meet the guy. the guy worked for a prestigious company as well.

she joined a group of people waiting for the elevator. when one finally opened she was surprised to see who came out of it .

with beautiful brown eyes, smooth skin that any girl would kill for, stood Zayn.

everyone pushed past her to the elevator but she remained there.

" Zayn. Hi."

she said.

" Miranda what are you doing here."

he said.

" work. what are you doing here."

" I work here . "

he said.

" oh, forgive me for my lack of manners, how are you, long time."

he said.

" I'm fine. Great actually. how are you.?

she said.

" great .  I am here for a meeting."

he said.

" me too, I work at Excellent publishing company and I am supposed to meet some dushbag who apparently thinks he can use his money to get anything he wants. but he pays us a great deal of money , anyway so"

she said laughing nervously,

Zayn smiled.

" okay then good luck."

he then proceeded at the reception and sat at the waiting area.

she also proceeded to the reception and inquired for the man, the big man.

" I think who you might be referring to is our director, Zayn Kuria."

as soon as the words left her mouth she was shocked.

she went straight over to Zayn stood and said,

" oh my God, you are the dushbag."

Zayn smiled slyly.
