I take pride in owning all of thses characters and ideas and thank the inspiration of all my guy friends who so ever has liked me.

Summary: Zaida and Taylor just graduated college and live together in a house as roomies. They're now looking for jobs and when they start looking, they find a few guys to go along. Maybe a little too many and that were into some bad stuff...

CHAPTER 4

A few minutes later she was walking up her front steps.

"Hey, Aid," Taylor called from the front porch.

"Hey," Zaida replied. "You're back earlier than I expected."

"I met someone…" Taylor said excitedly.

"A guy someone?"

"Yes…"

"Details!"

"His name's Luke Bradshaw…"

"Luke Bradshaw?" Zaida interrupted her.

"Yeah, and…"

"Like the Luke Bradshaw that was in Juvie for three years because of his addictions and issues with other people, Luke Bradshaw?"

"I guess so. But he's over all of that stuff now. Anyway… he was on the beach when I was and he ended up hitting me over the head with a football," Zaida laughed. "Then I fell in the water and got all wet, and it's not funny. Stop laughing."

"Sorry."

"He came over to help me and now he want to meet me there later because he ruined my camera and wants to make it up to me by showing me a great place to take pictures at sunset," she let out in one breath.

"One, breathe… Two, aww…." Zaida smiled.

"Shut up. But he is really cute, and nice…"

"And yadda, yadda, yadda…but I was kissed."

"By who?"

"Carter…"

"Carter who?"

"Whitmore…something like that…"

"Wait a minute…the guy who owns the New York Times?"

"What?" Zaida face expression dropped.

"I'm pretty sure that's the guy that owns NYT anyway."

"Oh no…"

"What?"

"We made out and tomorrow I have an interview with him? This isn't good for me…"

"Made out? I thought you just kissed…"

"Same difference."

"Big difference. Anyway…why is that bad? Your new boss will like you and give you raises and stuff."

"Right…You're not supposed to have an affair with your boss."

"Would you rather have him hate you?"

"No…"

"Exactly. So just go to the interview and pretend that he's not there."

"Fine…but only if you tell me all the details tonight and get a picture of Luke for me. And be careful of him…"

"Don't worry, Mom…I will," Taylor smiled at her, Zaida made a face back.

Taylor and Zaida went inside.

At sunset Taylor had already left for the beach when Zaida decided to take their dogs for a walk.

Zaida went through the park roller-blading with her four dogs pulling her along.

"All right guys," she was talking to her dogs. "Let's slow down a bit."

A few squirrels took off running down the path and the dogs start running right after.

"No! Stop!" Zaida was yelling at her dogs. She was gaining more and more speed as they moved along the path. After a while she finally let go of the dogs and went straightforward. She was launched fast into a garbage can. She flipped over it and landed on her back on a picnic table.

She moaned and started to move a little.

"Don't move," a man said.

'Was it Carter? No, it was a brunette. Who was it?' she moaned again. 'Too much thinking.'

Next thing she knew, she was being swept off her feet and was brought to a car. After that she blacked out.


You, know the drill! Please review, and don't be afraid to tell me like it is.
