Loving The Bad

F I V E

KAITLYN

"Holy s**t!"

I think I'm ready to kill myself.

"Not quite the reaction I get from the ladies but that'll do," He chuckles and I stare at him dumbfoundedly, "Have a seat, ma'am." He suggests while gesturing his hands towards the seats in front of him and I shake my head.

"And may I ask why you won't sit? It is an interview after all."

"Why would I sit next to you?" I spit angrily at him and he puts his hand over his chest and acted hurt. "I'm hurt," He cried out while laughing. He suddenly got up and started walking towards me while I took my steps back, away from him.

"Are you really that scared of me?" He laughs out and I roll my eyes. He bullied me for four years and he's acting like he didn't do anything.

Wait.

"You don't remember me?" I ask and he gives me a confused look.

"I think I'd remember a gorgeous face like yours, don't you think darling?"He says while he takes a step closer. closing the space between us. Suddenly, it felt hot in here.

"What's wrong? Cat caught your tongue?" He smirks and I groan. "f**k you, Joshua Richards!"

"f**k me indeed."

"You know what, I'm just gonna go." I try pushing him off of me but he wouldn't budge. "Why would you leave?" He asked, his tone suddenly becoming serious. "Because I don't want to be here." Is it not that obvious?

"But I want you here. So, I expect you here, every single of the day, at 7:00 am sharp, with my coffee; 1 sugar 1 cream, ready to work. You may be dismissed." He says while walking towards his desk.

"Wait, I got the job?" There's no way it was that easy. "Um, did I not say you did?" He mocked me and I roll my eyes. "Wait, how much does this job pay?" I ask and it's his turn to roll his eyes.

"How much do you expect it to pay?"

"Minimum wage?" I wasn't sure if this was a trick question or not. "And you think my workers work their ass off just to be paid $14 an hour? I don't do that, I'm too nice for that." He says proudly, "Too nice my ass." I mutter

"You will be getting paid $30 an hour. You may be dismissed now, you're too distracting." He shakes his head and I giggled.

"Wait, can my friend work here also? And I play basketball so I'll be unavailable for some days."

"Yeah sure, you and your friend can start. Be here tomorrow at 7:00 am sharp with my coffee" damn that was easy. "I swear she reminds me too much of her." I hear him mutter.

"Umm too much of who?" I ask out of curiosity and he just chuckles and shakes his head. "Nothing, you may leave now." 

"Thank you!"

I mean, I don't need to tell him who I am and I'm grateful he doesn't remember me. 

I quickly drive home to tell Clarisse the good news. 

"Waddup! How was it?" She asked as I walked through the front door. "You won't ever guess what happened," I ask her while dropping my bags down and she suddenly gives me her full attention. "I got both of us the job!" I squeal and she jumps

"SAY ON GOD, KAITLYN. DON'T f**k WITH ME." She yells and I laugh. "I'm being serious. I don't even know what happened. To be honest, I don't want to work with him." I sigh and she gapes her eyes wide open for me.

"Were talking about the Joshua Richards, who wouldn't want to work with him?"

"Well, he bullied me all four years of high school," I scoff. "Wait, wait, wait, wait. You went to school with him? Tell me everything!" Suddenly, she was full of energy, begging me to tell her about my time with Josh.

After I finished telling her every single detail of what Josh did to me, as well as every other student, she became quiet. "Can you at least say something?" I beg and she sighs.

"I don't understand. Why didn't you slap him or kick his balls, or slit his throa-"

"Whoa, Clarisse. Don't you think that's a bit extreme?" I laugh but she didn't. Was she actually serious?

"No! When we go tomorrow, I will be the first to slap the s**t out of him, Then, I will pour that burning hot coffee down his trousers just so that his p***s feels my wrath as well. You did not deserve the s**t he did to you and I am proud of you for being strong for those four years. We gonna kick some ass tomorrow." She says proudly.

How did I ever get a friend like this? "Oh yea, I forgot to tell you. Were having a team bonding tonight. You down to come?" She asked and I nodded. "Where are we going?" I asked. "I think we're gonna go to Dave and Buster's then after Dimitri's." 

"Ok, when should I get ready?" She checks her phone and her reaction kind of concerned me. "We should've been there 30 minutes ago." My eyes widened as I suddenly felt a rush through my body, telling me to get ready. "I'm just playing, we should get ready right now though. Were suppose to be there in 30 minutes." She laughs out and I swear I wanted to throw something towards her.

Ok, that was a little violent forget I said that.

I decided to wear high-waisted black ripped jeans and a white crop top with my black vans. Clarisse came out with black joggers, a pink sweater crop top and her white air forces.

Not bad, not bad.

"You ready to go?" She asked and I nodded.

"You better have not scratched my car."
