Ryan Asher

chapter seven: the date

. “I love you for all that you are all that you have been and all that you will be.” 

WE finished cleaning up the house, after MR GRUMPY destroyed it.

Yes that’s right Mr. grumpy. That’s the only name that fits his personality. I wish I could say it to his face but any time I, try his annoying but handsome face gets in the way.

I called mum and we spoke for about an hour. I told her that I was having problems; I didn’t tell her specifically what was happening. But all she kept on saying was ‘have faith in your heart and follow it but if you know your mind is telling you the truth then follow it without looking back. The truth might hurt but it always prevails’. It sounded like she read it from the internet, but it was kind of a good advice. I don’t understand how it affects my life at this point but it was a good advice.

This past few days has been really stressful but I’ve been able to manage. I did all of Ryan’s work, I even cleaned his shelf and files. I did so many unnecessary jobs; I get him his lunch every day. He even gave a list of what to do at a particular time.

When I didn’t get his stuff done on time he shouted as if there was no tomorrow. I would come home every day nagging about him. I was getting sick of him.

But there where good parts to my job like, I and Mandy became closer, I was to head the new story that would be made into a movie, it was nice because I started working and talking with people. And there was this guy his name was Jordan he was really nice and for someone who writes script for horror movies, he sure is funny. I hoped he will ask me on a date this weekend but he never did. I guess it’s because the office dinner.

This evening I will be going on an office dinner with some of the staff and Ryan. Ryan said he was going to pick me up, because he was the one who invited me. I didn’t see it as anything so I agreed. But when I told Laura and Tara yesterday, they totally freaked out.

“Girl you said that he asked you personally.”

“Yes.”

“And you said Mandy didn’t know anything about it?” Tara kept asking me ridiculous questions she already knew answers to.

“Yes, because she wasn’t the heading the action department”.
“It is officially a date”. Laura cut in from nowhere.

“My baby is finally having her first date”. Tara jumped.

“It’s her first date? wow”.

I totally felt uncomfortable when Laura said ‘it’s her first date’. I know I’ve never gone on a date before; she didn’t have to rub it in my face. Well I can’t blame her she doesn’t know me that well.

“You guys should shut up already”. I shouted at both of them.

“You are right we need to go shopping”. Tara said totally ignoring what I said.

“That’s right and we need to go to the hair salon and the tanning place”.

“Tanning place? Now I know that you guys are completely crazy”. I exclaimed.

“You are right, but there isn’t enough time for that we can’t shop and go to the tanning place and the hair saloon by this evening”. Tara said ignoring me again
