“I..I think I am go..ing to be dead on-on Monday!!”
“Oh no!!” Olivia and I both suddenly stop laughing realizing the problem.
“He is your boss after all. What to do?” She says worriedly.
“What can we do? Just wait for being fired. I guess I should go home and search for a new job.” I say pacing back and forth.
“Hey you always wanted to be a story writer, right! How about you start writing stories form today.”
“Are you serious? How am I supposed to earn for two just by writing stories? And you know that how expensive it is to live in this city? Maybe I have to go back to my home town. Noooo! I don’t want to leave you.”
“No.. no. We are thinking way ahead of time. Maybe he won’t fire you.”
“That’s even worse, what if he is thinking of taking revenge.”
“No matter what you have to stay and work there. It’s so hard to get new jobs. For Lily.”
“Yes, for my little lily. I really regret my prank right now.”
“I have a suggestion.”
I stop pacing back and forth and listen to her carefully.
“Lily will be staying at Mrs. Browns, sooo!” (Mrs. Brown is also our neighbor. Lily and her daughter are best friends.)
“Seriously? At a time like-” She cuts me and says.
“Ya. At a time like this. Listen, if we go on like this then we are sure to get anxiety attack. So how about a girls night.”
“It is not that bad idea also. Alright then. It’s weekend after all. We can see what to do later.”
“Fallen angel karaoke bar, wait for us!!”
“Fallen angel karaoke bar, wait for us!!”

“I don’t swear, I don’t drink
I need to think before I speak
If I smoke, If I fight
I can get locked up in the jail!!”
(A little different version of ‘Pretty Girl’)
“Wait wait! Cas don’t you think the lyrics is a little… weird. Tune is of pretty girl but-”
“What lyrics, tune, pretty girl?? What are you talking? Olivia, I think you are drunk.”
“What nooooo you are drunk?”
“NO. you are.”
“Anyway you are sad right? Lets call him and say that he can’t fire you.” She says getting serious.
“But he can fire me.”
“No, I said he can’t so he can’t. He needs my permission to-to. Whatever just call him.”
“Ok. Okay!” I say giving up.
Fred’s p.o.v.
Brian is at my apartment and completely refused to leave.
“Dude. Do you know how annoying you are sometimes?” I say hoping he would leave.
“I am trying to help you and you are trying to kick me out. So rude.” He says imitating hurt tone. And let me tell you it really doesn’t suit him at all. He knows that I am getting annoyed still!! Or maybe he knows he is annoying that’s why.
Everyone is trying to annoy the hell out of me today. I will handle Castiel at work later but what to do of him.
Suddenly my phone starts to ring. I am about to pick up but Brian takes it from me and puts it on speaker.
Fred: Hello! Miss Johnson anything important? (I say sarcastically)
Castiel: Can you not be so sarcastic? I called you to apolo-
Olivia: Listen! You Fred or bread. If you dare fire my friend without my permission then… then…. I am going to beat up that little friend of yours.
(Ohh! No. She is drunk. This girl is so careless. Got herself drunk like this.)
Brian: Ohh! Fighter girl. Whom are you calling little friend and whom you said you would beat up huh! (He says mad.)
Olivia: Of course you. i***t!
Brian: You…-
Fred: Where are you?
Castiel: Me. Uhhh Ya. Fallen angel karaoke bar.
Fred: Ok.
Castiel: What ok. It is not ok-
I cut the call and head towards the car.
“Lets go.”
“But we aren’t allowed to go there. It is just for girls.” He says not wanting to go.
“Then buy it. We can’t just let two drunk girls alone. And you heard them. They are completely drunk.”
“You are right. I will call the owner right away.” He says finally being serious.
After half an hour

“Sorry to my unknown lover
Sorry that I can’t believe
that anybody ever really
starts to fall in love with me
Sorry to my unknown lover
Sorry I could be so blind”
“The one whom you should be telling sorry is me.” I am really mad at her but seeing her at this state.. I have a magnanimous heart so I will let it slide this time.
I look at Brian and he is staring at Olivia who is with his jaw dropped to the ground.
“Are you welcoming flies or what! What happened?” I ask sarcastically.
“Nothing. It’s just that-that she looks like such an… angel when she is asleep. If I didn’t knew how she is then I would have been fooled by her innocent looks. How scheming!” He says shaking his head and picks her up in his shoulder.
I also go and carry her after hardly parting her with the microphone which she was holding like her life depended on it. I carry her out of the bar in bridal style.
“Mr. Lewis if you dare fire me then…. I can’t do anything. I knnnow that although you are a capitalist, exploiter, so cold that the wholeeee room freeeezes when you walk by, also arrogant and allllways bullying me still it wasn’t right for me... to take you to roller coaster but it is your fault also. You should not have said ‘have fun’. Damn Mr. Devil. Mistake is yours but I am feeling guilty.” She mumbles slowly.
“You… I really want to leave you here. Only if I wasn’t so bighearted then.”
Seriously! How can she say something like this about her boss. That also such a great and generous boss like me.
“Don’t you have anything else to say to me?” I ask her.
“What?”
She crosses her arms behind my neck ad places her head on my chest and says, “Ohh I have. I am sooory. But why is your heart beating so fast?” She says looking at me with big eyes.
“You still dare to ask.” Oh god. Although I have been with many girls but I never felt nervous before. Why is it happening now.
“Look your cheeks are also sooooo red. And you body is also heating up. Are you having a fever?” She says pointing at my cheeks with big eyes looking concerned. I am literally in war with myself to not kiss her.
I take a deep breathe and say, “If you keep looking at me then I will kiss you. So better shut up and stop looking at me with that look. Got that.”
She immediately stops and pretends to fall asleep.
“You made me come here at such late night so for exchange call me ‘Boss’
from today. Got that.” She gives a thumbs up and again pretends to sleep. So silly!
Brian and I go to her home. The door is locked so we look keys but don’t find any. I try to ask Castiel and Olivia but both of them are knocked out. Luckily we ask the security man and he helps us open the door.
“Finally, I can go home to sleep. Why are women such a trouble?” Brian says exhausted.
“That’s right!” I say lost some where else.
“Why are you smiling then? Uhh…. A guy in love is really hopeless.” He says dramatically.
“Who is in love?”
“Not me of course. And I don’t see any other person here whom I might be talking to.” He says sarcastically.
I just ignore him and walk out.
“Sorry to my unknown lover
Sorry that I can’t believe.”
“What am I even singing? Uhhh. So annoying.”
Thinking about her really make my heart beat faster. Am I really in love?
