Fighting For Him ✔️

Chapter -2 (Edited)

Amaya

Thank God, it's Friday!

Working 5 days a week is mentally exhausting, we should really implement 4-day work and school weeks.

But the good thing about this week is that I'm done with the tasks assigned to me. I had to complete them to leave early, and I did complete a few extra deliverables too just to be in Rick's good books.

What can I say I am a sucker for my friends? I didn't want him to get into trouble about me so I did pick a few extra tasks and worked overtime this week.

I looked around my cubicle, to find something to entertain me because my one and only bestie, Sarah doesn't work on Fridays because she left for Texas to meet her husband, Problems of long-distance marriage. But I am surprised by how much love they hold against each other that's keeping them this strong. I admire them both and their efforts.

A big swoosh sound came out of my computer, which was the sound of an email notification making me look at the screen.

The email was a meeting invite about the application we completed last week, it was an in-person meeting with the product owner to monitor some User testing.

The thing I love the most about my work is that we don't have a dress code, the only days we have to be in business mode physically are the client meetings.

I am more of a comfort over style person, so that works out well for me except for days with client meetings. I might have to buy some clothes to get to that meeting.

Ughh...I hate shopping, I don't know why but the thought of browsing through clothes makes me sleepy.

"Earth to Amaya." Rick snapped his fingers in front of my face adjusting his position to sit on the desk. I gave him a goofy smile as I didn't know what to tell him.

"I've been calling you for the last 10 mins, Looks like you are somewhere over the rainbow, dreaming about your date next weekend huh?." Rick teased me with a smirk on his face.

My face flushed with embarrassment at his question and how the heck does he know about my arranged date?

Duh! It has to be Sarah as she is the only one who knew about it. I will see the end of that TRAITOR!!

"You sure are into gossip, and here I thought you are a no-nonsense kinda guy," I replied him avoiding the question and hoping that he doesn't ask about my date.

It's not a date, it's more of an arranged-perspective dude for a marriage date. My grandfather is now obsessed with getting me married. I protested hard but he was not willing to give up so I agreed to meet this one particular person, for his sake and he got me a dude 2 days after the agreement.

My grandfather works faster than any other dating app.

"I will be involved when it comes to you," Rick stated like it was a fact and I smiled internally at his care for me.

"Anyway! Sarah asked May to help you get ready for the date. May asked me to invite you home so that you can come over as we couldn't find a babysitter for the twins" answered Rick.

What in the world did this Sarah do? I will definitely kill her.

"Sarah asked May to help me! Do we get a holiday if someone in our team dies because we are gonna get one? God this is so embarrassing." I said feeling mortified by my friend's loud mouth.

"Very funny Amaya, there is nothing embarrassing about it. She was looking out for you as a friend." Rick said so that I won't get mad at Sarah.
