Disclamer: the characters don't belong to me
DW: I been thinking about this story for a long time and I decided to post it. This is just a first chapter so if you like it or hate it tell me and I'll take it down.
"You can't just leave me!" Courtney said walking after her ex-pool boy and landscaper Bobby.
"I have had it miss Rameriez! I can't take you and your family's bitchness anymore!" Bobby gathered his tools and started to walk out the yard.
"I am throwing a party in a few days and my yard looks like hell!" she cried trying to cut him off.
"You can you crazy family are from hell!" Bobby countered. He stared for his truck, calling his dog Rusty. "Come one boy, we are no longer going to work for the devil!"
Bobby slammed the car door and Courtney hung on to the side. "Please, don't leave me! I need someone to finish the job!"
"Go to hell!" Bobby said before roaring out of the long driveway.
"Fine!" Courtney yelled after him. "I don't need you. I can find someone twice as better and who is cheaper!"
Courtney sighed and walked back to her large empty house. Her cat Cup cake was waiting for her at the door. Courtney picked her up and walked to her home office.
"Oh Cup Cake, mama needs to find a new landscaper that isn't a total asshole." she sat down at her large leather chair and let the cat roam around her desk.
Cup Cake rested on Courtney's picture of her and the three other lawyers at her father's firm. She was proud that she made partner at twenty-two years old.
But the work and all the courtroom visits were her only means of being active. She wasn't fat at all, she took walks everyday with her blackberry around her neighborhood.
Courtney didn't date. Like she needed some man hanging on her arm or feeling superior to her.
She rarely went out. Except for drinks with clients to discuss their cases or to hang out with her best friends and only friends, Bridgette and Lisa.
Her big family mess was taking up the little time she had. The phone rang startling her and Cupcake.
"Hello Courtney Rameraz speaking" she said in her business tone.
"Quit the act Court it's me, Bridgette".
Courtney let go of the pen she was writing with and kicked her feet up on the desk. "Bridgette you won't believe what happened today".
Bridgette laughed, "Courtney I can believe anything when it comes to you. What happened this time?"
"My freakin landscaper and poolboy quit on me today. He just walked out with that big slobbery dog of his" Courtney was getting angerier remembering.
Bridgette sighed, "Court, I know he did not just walk out on you. You did something to make him leave, now spill".
"Bridgette, I didn't do anything! Honestly!"
Bridgette knew that when Courtney said 'honestly' she was lying. "What happened?" she asked again, a bit more firmer.
Courtney sighed, there was no use in trying to fool Bridgette. "I might have yelled at him a few times and kicked his dog. Oh, and I pushed him into the pool" her voice was of nothing but pure innonce.
Bridgette laughed, "I knew it! You have to control your temper or at least channel it in a better way."
Courtney switched the phone to her right shoulder. "I don't think I have an anger issue. Let's drop the subject before I get a headache. What are you up to?"
Bridgette let out an exsaperated sigh. "Please tell me you didn't forget."
Courtney was looking through her drawers for some chocolate. "Forget what?"
"Jenny's house warming party today".
"Oh crap!" Courtney had totally forgot all about that. When she lifted her head up she hit it on the desk. "Crap, Bridgette are you and Troy about to leave?"
"Yes. I'll cover for you until you get there. But hurry up! See you soon" she hung up and Courtney scrambled into the next room which was her bedroom.
Going through her closet frantically, she pulled out the new $200 dress she bough a week ago. Throwing it on the bed with a pair of matching pumps she took a quick shower and applyied makeup and did something to her hair.
She grabbed her purse and above all, her blackberry before running out the door and hopping into a silver Volvo.
As she was driving her blackberry went off with a message. It read:
Jenny's Party today
Courtney grunted and threw it to the passenger's side. "Thanks for telling me" she said sarcastically.
When she arrived she saw Bridgette waiting with her boyfriend by the outside gate.
"Pretty dress and you made it here in record time, as usual" Bridgette commented happily. Courtney smiled, "I did have the award for the best timing you know" she said walking past the couple into the backyard.
"Wow" was all anyone could say when they saw what Jenny had done with the yard.
"Jenny didn't do half bad" Bridgette marveled at the marble fountain that squirted out water.
Courtney admired the crstal clear pool and the beautiful flowers arranged all around the yard. "Her grass is so green" Troy said lamely.
Courtney could never understand why Bridgette put up with such a fool. The owner of the house and host of the party, Jenny came towards them.
"Courtney! Bridgette! So glad you can make it!" Jenny hugged them both and her plastic boobs almost peirced Courtney's chest.
"Love what you've done to the yard" Courtney said politley, putting on her fake smile.
"Thank you. My landscapers were the best! They totally restored the grass and put in a new pool and the fountain." Jenny said proudly.
"I would love to meet them" Courtney said with real honesty. "You see my landscaper just walked out today and my yard is a mess. Do you have their card?"
Jenny nodded and dug in her chest.
Bridgette looked over at Courtney in disgust. "Here you go dear" Jenny produced the card and handed it to her. "Now if you excuse me, I see my daughter with another drinks. AA my ass".
When she walked off Bridgette laughed, "I hope that's not made of plastic like her boobs. So you going to meet these guys?" she asked gazing over her shoulder at the name.
"I'm going to have to. My yard is a wreck" Courtney studied the name,
"Hmm D and G's gardening and landscaping service. Best quality around...dudes".
"Hmm sounds fancy" Troy commented taking another drink.
