Behind closed doors (Completed)

Chapter Fifteen

A year later, and everything keeps getting better everyday. Tito has went off to college and Kelly and I have been getting closer. Tito and I Skype, every night. He is doing great and keeping his grades up. Kelly and I are both Seniors, now. Now, I truly believe that saying Trouble don't last always.

"What are you doing, get dressed ! Your interview is in half an hour," Kelly yelled. "Damn, time be going by fast than a bitch, I thought. Quickly, I pulled on some dress pants a blouse and some dress pants that Clarice just bought me yesterday. Looking in the mirror, I didn't look half bad. I did a side braid on the left and right side of my puffy hair and brushed it down, before walking out.

"YOU ALL READY?" Kelly shouted from the couch where she was watched a rerun of Real Husbands of Hollywood. "Yea, c'mon. I don't wanna be late," I said walking out the door. Kelly got in the driver seat, while I got on the passenger side. Unfortunately, my license don't arrive until two weeks. "You ready for this?" She asked stealing a glance my way. "Yes, I'm all ready," I said chewing my gum.

"You know you can't chew gum during an interview, right?" She asked focusing back on the road. "Yea, I know. I'm just chewing it now, so it can calm my anxiety." I said truthfully."When you get in there sit up straight, keep eye contact, answer the questions to the best of your knowledge and when you leave shake their hand," she instructed. "Ok," I looked out the window the rest of the ride to Walmart.

When I looked at the time, I started to panic. "This is just great, the one time I have an interview traffic wanna be backed up," I said frustrated. "Calm down, were gonna make it there on time," Kelly said trying to convince herself and me too. The cars started moving again and we picked up speed.

"Don't get a ticket trying to get me there," I said looking at Kelly tighten her grip on the steering wheel. "I got this," she shot back. I closed my eyes and held on to the side of the door with a death grip. "We're here, Get out! Kelly shooed me off after wishing me good luck.

I walked inside and to the back where I met the hiring manager the first time I got an application. I knocked on the door and waited. Suddenly, the door swung open and there stood Mr. Mason with his jolly belly looking like Santa Clause himself. "Your here for the interview, correct Miss Wilson?" He asked. "Yes Sir," I responded. "Have a seat, and we'll get started.

The office was cramped with papers scattered all over his desk. Two chairs in this small place occupied the room. "Now, why do you think I should hire you? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What can you bring to the team? He asked all these questions and more. I had an answer for everyone he shot my way. "Do you have any questions for me?" He asked last. "Yes, when do I start?" I asked.

"I like your attitude, you can start Monday," he said. "Come by Thursday to get your Vest," he said after shaking my hand and sending me on my way. I smiled and walked back out to where Kelly was seated texting away. I thought I'd trick Kelly, so I changed my facial expression. Instead of looking happy I looked down and sad.

"Did you get it?" She asked looking up for a brief moment. "No, he was so stupid and sexist," I lied trying to contain my laughter. "You want me to go in there and jack him up for you?" Kelly asked. "Girl, I'm just playing I got the job," I laughed. "Really, Bitch don't play with me. I was feeling sorry fa yo ass, forreal," she said hitting me in the back of my head.

"This calls for a celebration, lets go to club its ladies night," she looked at me waiting for a response. "Really?" I asked. "Yea girl, lets go home. I got just the dress for you," she shook her head . Kelly and I drove back to the house and we walked straight to her room. She rummaged through her closet and pulled out a dress.

"Kelly ! I can't wear that," I gasped. "Why not?" She sounded offended. "Half my ass cheek will be showing in that dress," I looked at her wearily. "That's the point," she looked at me as if to say duh. We both changed into something sexy and left heading toward the club. "What are you doing, these people gone try to jump us for cutting in line," I looked around. "I know the bouncer, its no big deal," she waved me off.

We walked in the club and its like all eyes were on us. I start twisting trying to give em a show. "Take a picture, it'll last longer," I mumbled. "What can I get you pretty ladies?" The bartender asked. "I'll take a sex on the beach, and she'll have a martini." The guy placed our drinks in front of us and we picked them up. "This is to your new job," we toasted and took a drink from our glass.

The rest of the night was spent drinking and dancing with each other, until some guy swooped in and stole Kelly from me. She ended up getting some numbers, but I pushed the guys away since I was still in a relationship with Kelly's brother. By one, we passed out from drinking too much.
