Talk To Me

The Client

"Good morning Sunshine, this is your wakeup call from Wake Me Up. It is Monday 6:00am in New York City. The weather is sunny with a hint of the fall breeze that will be coming in around noon time. Please remember to bring a sweater." The caller chuckled, "Thanks, you have a lovely day miss." I rolled my eyes, "You as well Ms. McDonald." 

She chuckled again, "You must be new." I tilted my head as I looked up at the ceiling of my room, "How?" I sat up as she said, "Most of the operators sound like robots now but you. You are cheery and ready for the day." I laughed, "Well, thank you and I hope that I don't become a robot." She sighed, "Me, too." Her and I wished reach other a good day when there was a knock on my door.

I got up from the bed and walked over with my brown hair into a ponytail and in my silky pjs when I threw a robe over me. I opened the door as a strange man standing there, "Ms. Sienna." I tilted my head as he was tall and muscular. He had tattoos up his neck and a tear drop under his eye, "Depends on who is asking?"

He shook his head, "Where is your little boyfriend?" He went to take a step in as I placed my hand on his hard chest, "I am sorry, but I no longer have a boyfriend. He wiped me out clean too honey." The man leaned forward, "Well then I need you to get a message out to him. He gets us that money or I will take it out on your pretty little ass." I winked at him, "Oh you think my ass is pretty."

He clenched his jaw as he looked at me, "Trying to be cute is not going to help you." I gently smacked his chest, "And he thinks I am cute. I feel special." He grabbed me by my arm and squeezed, "Ouch." He chuckled as he leaned down to my ear, "He has a month to get me that money or I will be right back here."

I snatched my arm away from when I placed my hand over my heart, "Please don't." He shook his head, "You know what, Kitten. Forget that I told you to have him bring me my money. I want to come back in a month." I tilted my head to him, "Is that so Mr. Tough guy?"

He leaned back to me as he started into my eyes as he lifted an eyebrow, "Oh that is so. So, I can come here and make you mine then I can f**k you all over this apartment. Once I am done and had my taste then I will throw you to the rest of crew to ruin that little pussy."

I tried to hid the terror in my eyes as I slowly shut the door, "Well then, I better get this little p***y ready." He laughed as he walked down the hallway when I leaned up against the door. I clenched my fist then hit the door, 'FUCK.' What the f**k did Isaac get me into? As soon as my ass hit the floor of my little apartment there was a ding to my phone for a new wake up call for 7:30. It was now 7:29. f**k I don't have time to get my mental state in check as tears are running down my face.

"Good Morning Sunshine, this is your Wakeup Call...." I sadly said when the client cleared his throat. He interrupted my script when he said, "Miss. Are you okay? You sound like you been crying." I sniffed as his warm British accent stuck a core, "I am okay." He sighed, "Are you sure? You don't sound sure." I shook my head as I walked back to my bedroom, "It nothing that I can't handle. Thank you though."

I rolled into bed as I screamed in my pillow when I placed the phone down next to me. "Miss? Miss? Oh God. Please answer me." I lifted the phone as his voice sounded worried. I sighed, "Sorry about that." He chuckled, "Did you just scream in your pillow?" I snorted, "I guess I did."

I got up and looked out of my window, "You are not from America?" He chuckled, "What gave that away?" I sniffled as I looked up at the sky, "Your accent, Silly." He gasped, "You caught me. I am from London. I am here on business." I tilted my head as I saw my reflection, "Oh. London. I heard it is lovely over there." He chuckled, "It can be kind of rainy." I chuckled, "I like rain."

I reached on to touch my window, "Oh. Why is that? Sweetheart." I smiled that he called me sweetheart, "I like you are washing all the pain away of your past when you stand under it. Giving you a new start." He snorted, "That is deep. Tell me are you in pain right now." I shook my head, "Not physical." He sighed, "Mentally and your heart. Huh? Was it an ex?"

I looked down at my arm to see I know have a bruise as I whispered as I forgot that I have a client on the phone, "f**k he left a bruise." I heard his voice raise as he was getting angry, "Who did? Tell me that you are safe." I shook my head, "I am sorry. This is complete unprofessional. The weather..." He growled, "Don't you dare hang up. Tell me who hurt you."

I squeezed my eyes as I looked outside, "It will be sunny, but a fall breeze will come in around noon." He raised his voice, "Please Sweetheart. I can get you help if someone is hurting." I started to cry, "Please, Enjoy the rest of your day, Sir." He sighed, "Can you at least tell me your name?" I shook my head, "And go f**k off."

"Excus..." I hung up on him as I looked out to the park. I leaned against the glass trying to figure out how the f**k am I going to find Isaac in a month. UGh. That f*****g asshole. I better start looking for a new job already. I really screwed this up.

Casper's Point of View

She hung up on me. What the hell? She told me to f**k off. I picked up my phone to call Aunt Barba, "Hey Auntie." She was chippie when she answered me back, "Casper, how was the call?" I shook my head, "The new girl is interesting." She sighed, "Did something go wrong with the call?" I walked over to my window as I looked over the lake, "No. She is just different."

My aunt started the Wake Me Up to help people that can't get their asses out of bed on their own. She calls me to test out the new operators. I tilted my head as birds flew over the penthouse, "Oh, Ms. McDonald stated in her review that she was the best wake up caller she had in years. She was personal and cheery. She said 'Operator Three, brighten my day with her sweet soft voice. You can tell that it was not a robot that called to wake you up. Operator Three is my new favor Wake Me Up Caller." I shook my head wondering what happened between the time that she called Ms. McDonald to me.

I sighed, "Keep me on her roaster two time a day. One in the morning and one at two in the afternoon. Let give me a month to see how she is really going to work out." My aunt is not a stupid woman as she sighed, "Casper, what happened?" I sighed, "Nothing. Just that she seemed little off from between calls." She hummed, "Mmmhmmm."

I ran my hand threw my dark hair, "Auntie. I promise. It will help you keep the best of the best." She sighed, "Just behave. She is a young one." I tilted my head, "What do you mean?" She typed on her computer, "She is 23." I chuckled, "And I am 28, Auntie." She laughed, "I know. I know. I will get her set up for your two-clock call."

I went to the office that I will be taking over this week. I am having been closing this take over for over a year. It has taken most of my time away from a social life which has the media going crazy because I been hard to pin down on what I am doing. I walked into the new Casper Inc. when I went to my new office. I looked out the window when there was a tap on my door, "I have the documents for you to sign to make the deal official, Sir." I looked behind me to see a beautiful blond with a perfect body.

Too perfect. She smiled at me, "Your lawyers said that he will need it by the end of the day so they can finish the closing." I nodded my head, "Please place it on my desk and I don't want to be disrupted at two clock every day." She tilted her head, "Two clock every day, Sir." I nodded at her, "Please call me Casper." She smirked as she swayed her hips and bent down to place the file on my desk so I could see her breast as I turned to the window then she walked out of the office as she sighed at the fact that I gave her no attention to what she was trying to show me. I am not into having s*x with my employee’s type s**t.

I ate my lunch in my office and took care of paperwork for the lawyers when I sent them over to them. I was overlooking the books when my phone rang, "Casper." She sighed, "You again." I chuckled, "Yes me. This is my office number." I could hear her breathing, "Please don't hang up. I just want to talk." She sighed, "What if I don't want, too talk. I mean. I am only supposed to wake you up in the morning and from a nap which you like to wake up at two." I smiled as I got up from the desk, "Actually, I wanted to take a break from work at two clock so this was my idea of a break."

I looked out the window, "What happened this morning?" She sighed, "Not this again." I chuckled, "Yes this again." I watched the park as kids where playing as she sighed, "If you are going to make me talk to you then we need to talk about something else besides what happened this morning." I placed my arm on the window as I laid my head down on my arm, "I let it go for now. But you will talk to me." She sighed, "Tell me what is London like." I shrugged my shoulders, "It is home." I lifted my head up, "Do you live in New York?" She sighed, "I can't give out that information, Sir."

I chuckled, "Please, Casper." She laughed, "Like in the friendly ghost." I tilted my head in confusion, "The friendly what." She gasped, "You don't know about the friendly ghost. Then you need to catch up on cartoons from the fifties." I laughed, "Oh so it is a cartoon." I sat down at my desk, "One of my favorite ghost." I flipped through my files, "What other ghosts are out there?" She laughed, "Well you have Patrick Swayze in 'Ghost'." I smirked, "Never seen it."

She gasped, "One of the greatest love ghost stories out there." I laughed, "Love Ghost Stories?" She laughed, "That right. He died and he had a girlfriend that he left behind. He does things to protect her from the people that killed him and show her that he was there for her." I shook my head, "I am going to have watch that when I get home." She giggled, "It is a good movie"

I laughed at her giggle, "Then you need to watch it with me." She sighed, "I am sorry, but I can't do that." I shook my head, "I mean while we are on the phone." She chuckled, "You want to watch a movie with me over the phone?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Yes." She laughed harder, "Are you crazy?" I tried to focus on some of these numbers, "No, Well. Some people think so I guess." 

 I tilted my head, "You really don't want to talk about what happened." She snapped, "No." I sighed, "Can you at least tell me that something happened? I am not going crazy" She sighed, "Something happened but I am not telling you what." I sat back in my chair, "Talk to me."

I placed my hand on my head. This girl is already driving me nuts I need to know what happened. She sounds so sweet. "I am talking but not about what happened." I sighed as I leaned forward, "You know that eventually you tell me." She snorted, "In your wild dreams." I smirked, "Oh, tell me how wild your dreams are?"

She paused for a minute, "My wild dreams. I don't know, Casper. They are pretty wild." I chuckled, "Try me." I could hear her giggle, "Well, last night I dreamt about a fairy." I shook my head, "A what?" She chuckled, "You know the little humans that wings on their backs. They are magical you know like Tinkle Bell from Peter Pan." I laughed, "And what did the fairy do in your dream." She laughed, "She sprinkled fairy dust over me, and I could fly."

I tilted my head as I am amused by her creative, "Where did you fly?" She paused for a minute, "Greece." I sat back, "Greece huh? Do ever been?" She sighed, "I am lucky to get out of New York." I raised my eyebrow, "Oh so I was right you are in New York." She choked up, "Well, that is our time for today." I lifted up, "Wait." She sighed, "What?" I sighed, "About that movie?" There was a pause then she hung up. f**k. She hung up on me.
