"Girl you better start talking, what you keeping quiet for? " Anna-Leigh asked. I had a thing for Black American accent and it was quite weird.
There was another minute of dead silence.
"Listen up Miss Lady, I came down here 'cause you asked. I'm not ready for none of your shit right now, so are you ready to talk or I'm going to walk out of the damn place." She said angrily to me.
"I might loose my job. " I managed to say, taking a sip of my cocktail, pornstar martini.
Annie's expression said it all, her eyeballs popped out of thier sockets and then rolled rolled. Her mouth was wide open too.
"What did you say?" She asked, pretending not to hear what I had said.
"I swear to you Annie, I'm not even joking." I could joke about a lot of things, but I was being dead serious.
"Yo, I'm 'bout to Call Dani, Cami and Gia to come over, because Kalani, you're obviously tripping. " Anna-Leigh said as she searched for her phone in her handbag.
There was a ninety percent chance that my other girlfriends were going to make a joke out of it,Gia especially.
"Wait, I'm not joking. I'm being for real with you. Remember the appointment I said I was going with Dayton tech CEO. "
Confusion had been the order of my day lately. I drank like each day was my last. It was crazy how the outcome of the appointment could just ruin everything.
"Mmmh, what about it"? Annie asked, still looking for her phone in her handbag.
"Well it didn't go so well, he was being so proud and I snapped." I said, hoping that she wasn't going to call my other friends.
"I've always told you, if only you could just put your pride in your pocket at least for once. " She was getting angry at me. She'd always warned me to be nice sometimes because of the way I approach some customers at her boutique when they asked stupid questions.
"Yoo Kalani are you out of your damn mind. " I could bet that Annie still found it hard to believe what I'd told her.
"You should know that men like that are proud about what they've achieved like no one's s in the freaking room." She went on while I just sat there, sipping on my drink and watching customers walk in and walk out of the restaurant, it was something I did regularly.
"You should have ignored him, you know. "
"He was rude right from the moment that I walked in. It's not even normal for him to come and see me, but I don't know what arrangement he had or whatever, but he was just too rude and he wouldn't even let me explain shit." I responded grouchily.
"Does Artem know about this? " Annie asked.
"No he's not been around for two months, he'll be back by next week though. I wonder how I'm even going to explain myself because he would not hear shit, he'd just fire me. I guess that's the influence rich people have on CEOs. It's so sad that I'm not a billionaire." I grinned sarcastically. I was beginning to take this whole thing to another level, although I found it funny.
