My Life

Orihime stood by the window with her arms crossed over her busty chest, looking out to the busy nightlife of Tokyo from her high-level office. She sighed realizing that she couldn't put herself through another blind date that her best friend Tatsuki set up for her. Each guy that she sat in front of at a restaurant just grew worst every time. Only this time the guy thought it was okay to invite her to his own home to "roll in the sheets" according to him.

BEEP BEEP

"Ms. Inoue you have a call from Ms. Arisawa on line two," beeped her assistant outside her office.

Rolling her eyes Orihime walked back to her desk and pressed line two placing it on speaker.

"What Tatsuki?" growled Orihime.

"Ouch someone had a great night that they weren't ready for work today," giggled Tatsuki. "Working late because you can't get your mind off your hot date?

"Not in the mood right now Arisawa."

"Hmm, when you use my last name like that it proves that you're either angry at me or just not in the mood for no one."

"How about both Tatsuki?" she whispered.

"Orihime, I don't see what I did wrong, Katsuo seems like a very nice guy. He seems to like you when I showed him your picture online."

"Are you serious Tatsuki? How come they can see me, but I'm not allowed to see what they look like, what their name is, and who the hell they could be?"

"Oh, hush Hime, I know what I'm doing when I set you up, plus if you knew who they were it really wouldn't be called a blind date now would it?"

"I could have sworn it was supposed to be blind for both parties?"

"Really? I never thought about it like that. Maybe that will bring more excitement but kind of boring at the same time."

"Why are you calling me?" Orihime said cutting right to the chase. "If it's to set me up on another date the answer is no. Goodbye," Orihime was about to hit the end button on her phone when Tatsuki cried out frantically.

"Wait, Hime!" Orihime paused waiting for her friend to continue. "Orihime I'm sorry I just want you to start dating. You always work at all hours of the night and come home to no one to give you a great massage after a hard day of work, doesn't that get lonely?"

"Have you ever heard me complain yet?"

"Orihime!"

"What? It's true. I've never complained about loneliness since I graduated high school. Why would I complain now?"

"I don't know. You tend to not open your heart since… him?"

"He has nothing to do with this!" shouted Orihime.

"You see what I mean? You get defensive and won't tell me what's going on or anything. You automatically shut down. "Tatsuki sighed and continued. "Since that day, you haven't been the same. You changed from sweet Hime to a real bitch. I'm not complaining about you being a bitch because you being that way got you to become the CEO of Sweet Treaties Industry but being a bitch also changed you from dating great guys better than him."

"Okay, Tatsuki look I'll let it slide that you called me a bitch but me being this way made me realize that man should be the farthest thing from my mind. I have too many things on my plate and caring for a man's feelings is not on my agenda."

"What about someone taking care of you? I do it here and there but while I'm gone who's going to take my place?"

"Tatsuki I'm not in high school anymore. Sora took care of me; may he rest in peace, then you took care of me. I am passed the age when I don't need people to take care of me. I'm old enough and I can handle myself. Okay?"

"Fine but I'll keep an eye out for you."

"What is this really about? All of a sudden, you're all about me dating for the past month. Shouldn't you be getting yourself ready for your big day?'

"The fact that I'm getting married has nothing to do with your loneliness!"

"I'm not lonely!"

"Fine, I just don't want all the guys jumping on you during my wedding. When you have a date that means that they'll back off."

Orihime rolled her eyes.

"I don't have time for this. I have to go to a meeting. I'll call you later."

"Ori-" Orihime pressed the end button and got up from her desk. Having a meeting at this time was unusual but she had to lie to get off the phone. She walked back towards the window and continued to stare out to Tokyo. The sight still amazed her. The lights that flicker from the buildings, the people crossing the busy streets, and the night sky made the moon more elegant.

Knock knock

"Ms. Inoue?"

Orihime turned towards the door to her assistant Momo Hinamori. The little lady walked into the office and bowed to Orihime.

"Ms. Inoue, is it all right that I leave for the night?" Orihime walked towards her desk and sat in her deep red recliner chair.

"Do you have a date Hinamori?" Momo rose to look into her boss's eyes to see if she was serious. Seeing that Orihime was leaning on her desk with her face on the inside of her palm she didn't know if she was curious.

"Um no ma'am, I do not." Orihime sighed.

"Okay, good night then." Orihime removed her hand and took up some papers from her desk to stack up and to look over for the rest of the night.

"Um, Ms. Inoue?" Orihime continued to keep herself busy. Momo cleared her throat and called out to her again. "Ms. Inoue?"

Orihime stopped what she was doing to look up at Momo.

"Hinamori?"

"I know it's rude for me to say this-"

"So don't say it at all if it's rude." Momo flinched at her boss's reaction but decided to continue.

"It's just that I'm really worried about you."

"Don't worry about me. Now please have a safe night and be careful going home." Orihime stood up and walked towards the door. She opened it and stood there waiting for Momo to walk out.

Completely put off guard by Orihime's actions, Momo ran out of the office before she embarrassed herself again.

Orihime closed the door and walked back to her desk. She sat staring at the door that her assistant has ran out of.

Maybe I was too hard on her.

Shaking her head, Momo continued to her papers, ensuring the numbers added up correctly. Another long night for CEO Orihime Inoue.

I hope you like it so far...?
