Everything I Could Ever Want.
Chapter 1: Guess I'm Going
I licked my finger, searching through the many papers, all applications to become my new assistant. I figured it was about time, my entire journey up the ladder of sucess, there was one person. Me. I mean, you can't ask the morons I work with for help, so I figure hand picking one out of the hundreds of letters would be easier.
"Miss?" It was Annie, she worked the desk. She was useless at her job to. "I have you mail..." she dropped it on my desk, over my applications. "Your welcome." She snapped after I stayed silent, then slammed my office door.
I rolled my eyes, "work out a little, Ann!" I shouted after her. "Because your personality sure isn't getting you any friends!" I sighed, picking up the papers. "Bill, Bill, Bill, oh!" I smiled. "Money!" I ripped it open, pulling out the few hundred dollars I earned over the weekend, helping out with a local business. It paid for tonights dinner with my boyfriend. "Letter from..." I stopped, reading it over. "No way!" I ripped it open furiously, reading it over.
Dear miss Angela: I am sad to inform you, your brother Kasey was in a terrible farming accident. He was in the mine and it collapsed. I'd like to invite you...our docter says it would help if we invited some relitives to see him. With Good Intentions Mayor Hamilton and the Villiagers of Castanet Island.
I frowned, reading it over and over. "What?" I breathed. Kasey was the safest guy I knew, when our sister Molly climbed trees he'd always make sure every single branch was strong enough to hold her up. I, of course, stood to the side, laughing at how stupid they both were for not wanting to even touch a tree.
I noticed a small edge of something sticking out, I carefully took it out, noticing it was a picture of Kasey, Molly, and I, all making funny smiley faces in front of a camera. I pulled the sides of my mouth out and stook my toung out, eyes shut tight. Molly puffed her cheeks out, and Kasey was laughing hysterically in the backround.
I flipped it over, seeing a boat ticket to some place I've never heard of...I also never heard of it in geography. "What in the...?" I whispered, staring at it in confusion. "Does he think I can't pay for my own ticket!" I roared, angry. "I am Angela Anderson," I shrieked. "I am the CEO of-"
"What are you?" Mathew asked me, he was my boyfriend. "On your blue tooth?" He looked confused. My cheeks heated up in emabreassment. "Doesn't matter, I have our reservations, right?" He grinned.
I nodded, "of course you do." I pecked his cheek. "I'll just-" He cut me off before I could finish.
"Is this you?" He laughed, pointing to the childish girl in the photo. "You look..." he sputtered into giggles. "Since when did you have fun!" He blurted.
Hurt, I crossed my arms. "Excuse me? I have plenty of fun. It might be different from yours, but it's a lot more productive." I smirked, grabbing the photo and stuffing it in my purse. "Besides," I continued. "I was, like, six years old. It doesn't count as me acting stupid."
He held his hands up in surrender. "Relax, I get it." He slipped his large hand into mine and held mine tightly, bringing me out and to the bright yellow taxi. I usually hated when we acted like a couple in public, which is why I always reserved a private room in fancy resturants, but I actually hated sappy moments all together. Whenever he kissed my nose I held back the urge to kick him.
I settled into the booth he'd decided to reserve, and let him drape his arm around me. "What was Angela, the business tycoon, doing before I walked in?" He asked, smiling and nuzzling his nose into my straightened chestnut brown hair. Long ago I'd been cursed with hair that flipped out, the only way to keep it in place was with a staightening iron.
"Oh...nothing," I mummbled, folding and unfolding my napkin. People were staring, some people pointed...probably reconizing one of us from a magazine or something. "Just...job applications."
"Well you'd better not hire a guy," he grummbled, taking a swig from his vodka, he made a sour face, and smiled at me. His breath no longer smelt like fresh toothpaste, it smelled...like throw up. "I don't need competition." He smirked, kissing my nose.
I "accidentally" kicked him with the toe of my heel, smiling, "sorry. And why shouldn't I hire a male? Because according to a colum in a magazine men are far more talented." I rolled my eyes. "Like that'll ever-"
"Yep, sure are." He laughed boastfully, already seeming drunk. "You should really bow down to me some days." He winked, but didn't seem entirely playful.
I nodded, laughing. "Oh ya, I should bow down to you. My business is bigger!" I snapped, crossing my arms and wiggling his arm off of me. "Your business is managed by a pea brain."
"At least he's more useful then you!" He shot back, after chugging his entire glass of alcohal. "You just-"
I slapped my hand over his mouth. "I think I need to go," I told him, rolling my eyes. "Don't wait up." I stomped out of the resturant, hearing him scream my name after me, but I didn't turn around. Not once.
I slammed the door to the cab, handing him some money and crossing my arms bitterly in the back seat. "How could he!" I shrieked, annoyed. "I mean...I am far more sucessful, a lot better kisser, and completely out of his leauge!" I looked out the window, small drops of rain hit the window. I rolled my eyes, knowing the minute I stepped out of this cab, I'd be soaked. I searched threw my wallet, trying to find the keys to my apartment, and camp across the picture and ticket.
The goofy childhood me stared up, grinning with glee. As if she was saying, 'Remember all the fun you used to have!' But now fun didn't matter. I flipped to the other side, the boat ticked looked like it'd been made...by hand. It looked pretty cheap and flimsy. I sighed, flipping back and seeing Kasey's face. "Damnit..." I grummbled, knowing what would happen.
Wow...that was decent? I hope :P Thank you so much for reading! :D It really means a lot, and I know I'm not...super good, but I'm hoping to get better...by a lot. :) Alright, you can review if you want or something. Next one will be out...really soon. Like, really soon :) (WEEKEND!) :D:D:D:D:D XD
