                  Chresanto August

I walked into my office with a huge smile on my face. My assistant, Mya, was curious because I would usually come in with a frown or a hard face.

"Mr. August." She called me.

"Yes?" I answered

"Are you alright this morning?" She asked as she set the coffee I asked her to get, on the desk.

"I'm perfectly fine,  Mya. Why do you ask?" I asked her

"Because you're smiling." She said.

"Yeah. I am." I chuckled.

"Mr. August. Did you by any chance "get laid"?" She asked, putting air quotes around "get laid".

I laughed and nodded. "I can't lie." I said.

"Oh my goodness. Okay, I'm just going to run a background check on you're wife to make sure you're not high." She said.

"No need for that, Mya." I told her. "But I do need you to sort these." I handed her a stack of papers. "Each and every business offer I got but didn't take. I want you to sort them so I can send them back to the fuckers who gave me them." I said as I started to type on my computer.

"Sure." She said.

             Denise August

"Candace, this is way too tight." I said.

"Isn't this your size?" She said. I looked at the size and saw it was a size six.

"I'm a size nine." I chuckled. She looked at it and facepalmed herself.

"Oh my gosh. Denise I'm so sorry. I had like no sleep last night." She groaned.

"How come?" I asked.

"It's just my new born. My... husband takes care of him during the day since he works at night and I work during the day." I was curious when she paused at husband but I shrugged it off.

"I'll give you the day off today." I said

"Denise that's okay. You don't have to." She said and I immediately replied. 

"But I want to. Please go home and get some rest." I told her. She nodded and gathered her stuff.

"Thanks Denise." She said

"No problem." I said.

She then left and I called my other friend, Jacob.

"Shut the fuck up August before I chop you to pieces! Hello?" He answered as I heard laughing in the background.

"Hey. What did August do?" I asked him

"Remember that raccoon story that ruined my childhood? Well I told August and he still can't stop laughing!" He yelled. August kept laughing in the background and I chuckled.

"Denise hang on a sec." He said and put the phone down. After about 7 minutes he came back on the phone. "Okay so you called me for..?" He asked.

"I gave Candace the day off cuz she doesn't get sleep so come." I said

"On my way." He hung up.

After half an hour, Jacob finally came.

"Hey hey!" He said and hugged me.

"Hey." I said kissing his cheek and sighing afterwards.

"Wassup?" He asked me

"I'm fucking hungry." I said, slouching my shoulders and chuckling.
