"fuck!!" I shout as I get up. I am all sweaty. I have been sleeping. Oh I was dreaming about him! It's been two days since the interview and I can't get him out of my head. I don't know what's happening to me even I can't stop thinking about him. "Tell me something about yourself" ahhh!
It's as if his words are haunting me.
I don't know what's happening to me even I have been damn irritated since the interview. I don't even like talking to anyone nowadays.
Goddamn it! I roll my eyes at myself.
I glance at the time it's 6 in the morning. It's been two days since the interview and I haven't got any message. I am sure that I won't be selected as the interview went terrible. I fucked up the interview.
And now I will have to do something else to earn money.

It's 10 in the morning. I overslept again I quickly climb out of the bed and realise that  today it's going to be my last day at the berethmen's. And from tomorrow I and jenny are going to start with the shifting. Jenny's dad will be sending Packers at my house too. All thanks to Jenny.

The day flew by quickly and it's five in the evening already. It's my time to bid them goodbye. I knock the door of Mr and Mrs berthemen's office. Mr berthemen is on phone as always. Mrs berthemen quickly pull me in a tight hug.
"Oh I will miss you ken so much. You really was such a good girl. Don't forget us" she says with tears brimming in her eyes.
"How come will I ever forget about you? Thanks for giving me such a good time." I respond my voice kinda breaking at the end.
"Oh darling we will miss you so."says Mr. Berthemen.
I smile at both of them and after sometime I decide on leaving. I have to start packing by tomorrow. I need to be quick.
It's 7 as I pull outside my house. As I enter mum pulls me in a tight hug. She has made a strawberry cake for me. It's my favourite. I have been so caught up in own chaos that I forgot about mum. I barely had time with her that too I wasted. Tears started brimming in my eyes too. I have been holding them since too long now.
After few hours I have started packing my stuffs. I don't have much of them. So it's quick. By midnight I have packed all my stuffs and am ready to go! I still don't have any idea about how I am going to live there but... I am all set to go. I am happy now at least a little.

It's morning and I am still sleepy Jenny's voice wakes me up. She is shouting on someone as I get out of the bed jenny is standing in front of my room dressed in a beautiful skin corset and black jeans. As soon as she watches me standing in the hallway. She runs towards me.
"Ken hurry up and go change we have to meet Joe before we head to LA. Don't worry about your stuff. The Packers will keep them safely in the truck. Mine is already there" she says beaming with delight.
After sometime I enter the hall way with two bags of mine filled with my clothes, shoes and accessories. I hardly have any accessories. I am dressed in my blue blouse and grey jeans. Mum hugs me immediately and starts to cry.
"Oh my lil' baby when did you grew up. Where did the time go? I will miss you so much. Please call me everyday."
"Mum, yeah I will. And don't worry I will be fine."
Pulling out of the hug I went to meet Irene. She is my sister after all.
"Ken..." She mouths with tears in her eyes.
"Hey it's okay Irene. You are my lil' sister after all and yeah I will miss you so much. Please stay safe and take care of mum. Now that I won't be here, you will have to take charge." I say to which she nods sincerely. Very unlike her.
After biding adieu to all of them we both are in jenny's car. I left my car with Irene. We are heading towards Joe's house which is in the west. The truck is behind us. We stop at Joe's house and he is standing in front of his house with a... What I assume is a gift. Jenny stops the car and we climb out.
"Jenny, Kate I'll miss u both so much,two of my favourite people are leaving me today. I will miss you both."says Joe
And he pulls us both in a tight hug.
He even gives us a gift which is quite large... After few minutes we are on our way to LA. Having been bid adieu to everyone we're all set for this new chapter in our life. I haven't got any response from the hot CEO and nither i  have  got any job.
Jenny squeezes my knee which I assume is to assure me that everything is good and fine.
"We will reach there soon don't worry girl." She says
"Yeah" I say with a large smile on my face.

It's around 9 that we reach LA in front of our apartment. We started late after all. The Packers have arranged our stuffs in the house. But still unpacking is left. We head inside the house and...whoa! It's beautiful.
The walls are all peach colored in the living room with white couches and a brown table keep in between and a matching rug too. There is a huge window on the other side of the room. It's very Jenny like. There are 3 rooms in the house with one large kitchen area and 2 bathrooms. Jenny leads me to my room it's all white with a brown stool kept in the middle. A small bed is kept near the window. And a some cupboard is there too black colored.
Great!
"This is so beautiful Jenny how should i even thank you for all of this" I say to which she responds with a huge ear to ear smile she looks tired after all she has been driving the whole day.
"Thank you is not needed baby. You know I am so tired I will be just heading to bed there are some packed food items in the living room you may have them bye sweetheart and good night" she says as she heads out of the room,okay.
I am not hungry I will go get some sleep. And soon I am lost in my sleep. My phone wakes me up it's midnight who is messaging me now. There is a text from... Anonymous
.

To: Kendall Lewis,

I quickly reply to it.

From: Kendall Lewis.

"To: Kendall Lewis,

I quickly type the message and reply to it saying okay.
Holy fuck. Did he .... The Aden Brown messaged me himself.
Holy hell, it's a miracle! It's like a dream come true. But I find him intimidating he kinda scares me. I don't really wanna meet him....

And soon I am deep in my sleep.
