Chapter .2 Ciara's POV I use to dream of how it would feel to become successful. Would I be happy with myself? Would I finally get everything I want?....... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Boss we have an emergency" Kyle said nervously. Kyle was a young Asian man I hired from Harvard as my assistant he was one of the best reporters that ever stepped foot in the college . He was 21 when I hired him and now he's 26.He can be corny at times but I enjoy his company/service . "What is it"I said not taking my eyes off my computer screen. "Well the company from Tokyo didn't except your article for the upcoming magazine"Kyle said really fast as he usually would. "What I've worked so hard on that article, I even sent them cookies" I said tiredly as I looked at him while taking off my glasses. " Really sweetheart CoOKies ... wait that's the thing you only sent-" "Get the fuck out"I said cutting him off remembering that day. "Ok well call me if you need anything " he said while rolling his eyes before leaving. So to answer my own question,No I wouldn't be happy with myself.I've had articles all over the world sold to different Magazine companies and Tokyo decides not to accept mines,that's keeping me from winning the 'Most articles sold' Award and My company "Lore" is tide against a company in China called'The C.A.F" . And yes I've become an writer for women in different magazines, Not really what I was aiming for but hey,it pays the bills. Breaking me from my thoughts I get a phone call. Looking at the name displayed on the screen I answered. "C!" "Yes,Hello" I said listening. "Guh don't be talking to me like I'm one of your Colleagues"Tasha said laughing. "Girl wassup"I said not really in the mood. "Bitch who pissed in yo cereal cause you know I'll fly my ass up their "she said now serious. " Nobody I just got a lot on my plate"I said "Is it them copy Machine bitches cause they was staring at me last time I was up their" She said going into her own little world. "TASHA"I said getting her attention. "Hmm?..oh yeah so like when you trying to go get lunch cause you know joy ass back" Joy had moved to L.A where she studied fashion and design and was gone for about 2yrs but came every so often to visit.
"Girl what? For real?"I said happily. "Mmhmmm, we just got off the phone and look" "What"I said . "She got herself a lil Friend " she said whispering into the phone. "Hell nawl" I said whispering back. "Hell yes bitch" she said back. "Ok then yeah I'm going to be their so we can meet this FriEnD" I said laughing. "Yeah,bitches go to L.A and just get new friends and shit"Tasha said jokingly. "That's probably what you need" I said laughing. "Guh Fuck them niggas" she said "Mmhm Aight I'll be their around 4pm"I said stacking my papers on my desk. "Alright" "Ok byee" I said before hanging up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While getting into my car to head on my lunch break my thoughts immediately went to my job. I didn't want to keep it on my mind but I really needed this award and yes it consisted of money,Well shit billions of money. Thinking back to my right mind I pulled up at the restaurant 'Texas Road House' parking my car I walked in. Before I could make it to sign in for a reservation I saw Tasha. " oh heyy" I said while giving her a hug. "Hey and you don't have to sign in I did already it's gonna have to be a 15min wait" she said while hugging me back. "Ohh ok" I said as we both sat in the waiting area. "So how has your day been" I asked. " Guh good one of my workers was acting up today"she said rolling her eyes. Tasha owned her own bar Company called 'Finex' she always talked about opening up her own establishment to us as teenagers. "Drunk again" I said "Mmhm"she said while chewing her gum. We finally got our seats in the restaurant and started to chat. While talking out of no where we heard... "So like you guys didn't see me when I gracefully walked in here" "JOYYY" I said jumping up and giving her a hug and yess it's like this everytime we see each other. "Heyyy " she said to both of us while hugging me back. "So where is this man you was talking about to Tasha "I said giggle While about to sit down. "Ohh he in the car" Joy said smiling. "Um,what the fuck he was the main reason we met up today" Tasha said. Kicking Tasha's née under the table I said "Guh now you know she was coming to town and we wanted to all meet up" "So what would you guys like to drink" our waiter asked. As we order our drinks memories from when we were just Teenagers came to mind and how we would all meet up at the rink just to go skating we would be just like this .That afternoon we talked about so much and caught up on a lot of things. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Walking out of the restaurant we all was in conversation about this up coming tv show. "Yes girl I think I'm going to watch it,it seems interesting" Joy states. "Yeah me too" I said agreeing. "Well I'm not into all that lil romance and Prince Charming shit.I'll stick to Riverdale" Tasha said. "G-" "Bae I've been waiting for too long you ready" Looking up to the person that cut me off that I didn't take too lightly I saw the most tallest man in my days of living. "And who the fuck are you"Tasha said as we all stood in the parking lot of the restaurant. "Y'all so this is the man that I'm dating his name is Corey"Joy said with much pride. Looking up at him he seemed kinda laid back I mean he didn't really speak but hey she didn't do bad this time he actually look descent considering other people she has dated.

Age-33 (Just a description of how he look) "So I mean like nigga is you gone say some" Tasha said lightening her black. "My fault my name is Corey and yeah I'm from California and I'm really close with Joy "he said while smiling and looking at her while she smiled back. "Oh..that's great well I'm Ciara and this is Tasha" I said while speaking up because Tasha really wasn't the friendly type. "Nice to meet you"he said shaking my hand . "Well we will be staying down here for the week" Joy said. "Bout time you stayed hear for a little bit"Tasha said smiling after blowing out her smoke. "Yess I got some planning to do" I said getting ideas. "Ok well guys I kinda have to go but I'll call you all once I get to the hotel" Joy said following after her already walking away Man . "Ok bye" I said as Tasha waves Joy goodbye. Walking to my car Tasha finally finishes her smoke and say.. "I don't like him" "Oh my god you don't like shit" I said trying to reach for my keys out of my purse. "No cause like the Man ain't even speak to us and then he cut you off like the fuck" "He probably didn't know we was talking" I said finally finding my keys. "No be for real he didn't even say bye to us he just walked off and she had to go after him before they left, I know I wasn't the only one that saw that shit now" she said serious. "She'a happy that's all that matter" I said opening my car door. "Ok well I'm about to go" she said "Ok,and I almost forgot Rema said call her"I said before hearing Tasha say something under her breath. "Ok" she said rolling her eyes. Rema was one of my workers that was close with Tasha when Tasha came to deliver beverages for the company Rema would help her with setting things up. "Ok bye I'll call you tomorrow"I said after getting in the car and her honking her horn with agreement. While adjusting my seat belt I drove back to my job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I didn't get back home until 11:06pm but it was a long day.
Later that night getting into to bed I prayed that I would win the award because that was all I thought about. Right before closing my eyes my phone rings with an unknown caller ID. 'Who the fuck could be calling at close to 12 something at night' I questioned myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
