I woke up with my alarm clock blaring that god awful sound telling me to wake up.
"AARG",
I roll out of my queen size bed and go to the bathroom to take a shower. After about an hour I make my way to the underground parking garage below my apartment. Apparently the world hates me right now, because the traffic is even worse than a normal Monday in the fine New York City. I finally get to a Starbucks along the way to my office building. Oh crap I'm gonna be late to an important meeting. Grant (my brother.) has been talking about this meeting non stop for the past week. He says
"This is the first meeting that I was assigned to speak publicly."
So who am I to burst his bubble? I walk to the elevators and press the little circular button that says "26". That's where all of our offices are at starting with mine, then Grants, to Uncle Joes, and last is the conference room.
I finally rush to my secretary Liz, before I even ask the question she answers, "Already in there, you're the last one!"
My reply is
"Shit!"
She gives me a folder, and I rush into the conference room. When I barge in everyone's eyes are on me. Grant already standing and probably in the beginning of his speech, stops talking and coldly says to me,
"Oh there you are, why don't you sit down while I continue?"
All I can muster up to say is,
"Err, yeah I'll do that."
Normally grant isn't this harsh.
Once I got to my seat (right across from Joe.), I finally took a look from everyone at the meeting. There was obviously Grant, Joe, and myself; there was Jonas, (our genius of technology.) Townsend, (he's quite popular in our kind of business.) and his partners I believe are Zachary Goode and Macey McHenry. Macey, Hmmm she seems familiar some how. Weird. Once Grant shut up after some what of 25 minutes, we began talking and finally made a decision to have an ally with our companies. Once we were out of the meeting/conference room, I made small talk with macey.
"So, not to be up front and rude, but where did you go to collage?" Completely taken aback she answers,
"Gallagher Academy, Why?"
"No wonder why you look so familiar I went to GA as well! When did you graduate?"
"2010, You?"
"2011."
We walked by Liz and she asked macey,
"Macey McHenry? Is that you?"
Macey turned around by the sound of her name and said,
"Liz Oh My God, how are you, I haven't seen you in forever!"
Me being confused and late most of the time asked,
"You guys know each other?"
After they finished squealing and hugging each like they were fish out of water. Liz answered me with,
"Yeah, I tutored her, and then we became Best of Friends!"
"Oh, that's so nice! Let's catch up with lunch. There's this amazing restaurant only 2 blocks from here. My treat guys, I'm not taking any 'No's' for an answer!"
I demanded with a smile. Then Grant came up with Zachary and asked,
"You guys going to The Posse for Lunch?"
Before I could even answer Liz did
"Yes."
She always has the answers, that's one thing that I love about her, plus she's just a great friend.
"Before we go I'm gonna invite Jonas. Meet me in the lobby."
I said while walking away. Grant, Jonas, Liz, and I always go to The Posse for lunch, so it wouldn't be the same without Jonas, plus I think that he and Liz have a crush on each other. They're both so cute together. When I reached Jonas, he was in The Mole (his office is full of computers and devices that even I can't figure out.)
"Yo, Jonas wanna come to The Posse with us?"
He looked like he was gonna decline, but I beat him to it,
"Liz is gonna be there!"
I practically sang.
"Sure."
He perked right up when I said that! Bingo!
"Come on then, let's go!"
When we got to the lobby Jonas saw Zachary then just exploded question on me like,
"Why is he here? Are we going to lunch with them too? What's wrong with the world? Cammie?!"
"Umm, he's going to lunch with us, yes, and I have no idea lots of things! Now are you going to tell me why you're upset to see Zachary?!"
"He tormented me as a kid."
He said softly.
"Don't worry if he messes with you he'll have to go through me first, and you know I always carry out on my threats!"
We got to the group and Grant immediately asked,
"What about your threats!? Cammie you better tell me right now is someone after you!? Cammie you tell me? Jesus cams tell me?!"
"Grant its all good, I was just telling Jonas-"
"Why are you telling Jonas, why not me I'm your brother you always come to me?!"
"Grant I always carry out on my threats! That's what I said, I don't have threats! Jesus calm down you crazy psychopath, now I'm hungry lets get some food before I die of starvation!"
Macey and Zachary just looked at us like they both saw two heads on each of us. It was pretty hilarious!
"Come on lets go,"
Grant exclaimed,
"I'm pretty hungry too!"
Once we got to the restaurant and took our seats Zachary started talking with me,
"You're Grants sister?"
"Yeah."
"Wow."
"What is something wrong with Grant being my brother?"
At this point Grant came in and said,
"No, he just doesn't think someone as gentlemanly as me can be related to well…. You."
"Grant I think that's the opposite, except I'm ladylike and you're the pig!"
Then the waitress Bex decided to come in at this point to get our orders. I ordered a Shrimp and Mushroom Alfredo with a glass of scotch. At this Zachary gave me this weird look,
"What Zachary I'm not doing anything to you, why are you giving me that look?"
"First of all it's Zach, and second I never pictured you having a glass of scotch for lunch, I wonder what you would have for breakfast and dinner."
"In the mornings I get coffee and it depends on the dinner."
I replied. Zach just shook his head and smirked. Then Macey asked me a question,
"So, what do you normally do on a Friday night?"
"Please, Macey don't do this!"
Zach exclaimed.
"I normally go to a club, get drunk, and have some-"
"Okay, ok enough sis I don't think we need to hear how awesome your sex life is!"
Grant interrupted. Zach again smirked and shook his head. Macey's approving look showed her feelings.
"I think we'll get along quite well."
We exchanged phone numbers, and kept on talking.
