The extra-ordinary life

Chapter 4

Angelina did what she was supposed to do the other day. She finally went to report to her seniors on the work progress. Heaven knows how nervous she was!

Knock Knock...

"Come in" a deep voice replied.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven. I am so sorry about my lack of competence. Here is the report you wanted the other day." Angelina tried saying in a professional tone yet her voice faltered.

"Take a seat."

This was the first time she visited his office. Originally this job was done by Mr. Patrick, the project supervisor of her site. He retired last month, so it was her duty temporarily.

"Will there be any project supervisor appointment in the upcoming days?" She inquired.

"Why? Are you unwilling to report to me?" Mr. Steven raised his brows.

Angelina smiled awkwardly in response " no, no. This is not what I meant."

Mr. Steven chuckled, "Wait for the good news."

The sun was ready to disappear behind the horizon when a phone call suddenly broke the silence prevailing in the office room.

"Hello" answered Angelina.

"Hi sweetheart. Guess what? I am back in station. Let's catch up."

"Ummm... When?"

"I can't wait any longer.. awwwwwww... I missed my baby so much"

" No one can save you."

It was sunday, Angelina decided to wake up late. She was feeling happy today. Her bestie came back after nearly two years. Though they were in touch online, but how does this even reach the mark of meeting in real life again!!

Laying in bed, Angelina was contemplating whether to leave the bed or not, when nostalgia hit her hard.

Golden memories of college life flooded her mind-all those fun nights, all those laughters, prank pulling, those nights before exams- probably won't return again. Sam, haha, she always had her back. When that junior guy was stalking her, Samantha broke his nose. When Aaron...

Tears blurred her vision. It's been three years. People say 'time heals' , then why did her scars didn't heal yet, why she still felt betrayed and violated? Angelina didn't have answers to her questions.

Something salty entered her mouth bringing her back to her senses. "I will not cry over that bastard." Angelina wiped her tears and left bed.

Ding dong...

"Surprise" Samantha hugged Angelina as soon as the later opened the door.

The entire day went busy. Samantha was too busy gossiping while Angelina was listening with interest. She was indeed the best listener one could ever encounter. They had a delicious lunch and were now watching tv.

"Let's hit the club tonight" , Sam said out of the blue.

"But I have work tomorrow" replied Angelina.

"Don't be so boring. It's been months since we last drank together."

************************************
Angelina was feeling a little exposed sitting on the couch. Sam made her do her hairs and makeup today, along the dress that she picked up for Angelina.

After a few tequila shots, Sam was in a total slaying mode. She was dancing her ass off. Angelina was a light weight. So she thought of drinking less. But her best friend had different idea. Sam came back. Taking a shot in her hand shouted at the top of her voice "Let's get wasted! Yaaaaaaaaayyyy" and also forced Angelina to gulp down a few shots.
