I was piping hot about getting fired. I was so mad that I could mold glass and melt gold. I walked in the house and slammed the door behind me.
"Bae you're back ear-."
He looked at me as if he just realized how mad I was.
"What happened?"
"I got f*****g fired!"
"What! How? Why?!"
"I was accused of stealing documents! DOCUMENTS!"
"Why would you do that, you're one of the best workers they have."
"What can I do with paper that has printed f*****g ink on it? Huh?!"
"Bae im sorry I didn't mean it like that."
"I'm sorry I'm just upset."
"I know, I know."
"I think I was set up."
"W-Why would you think that?" he asked nervously
"They wouldn't just fire a good worker like that."
"Oh."
"Why was you nervous?"
"Your temper."
"Oh."
"How about I run your bath water, fix lunch, and rub your feet before the game."
"Sounds like a plan."

I gotten all the files on the recently fired and currently employed people. For now I was going through the recently fired and I was impressed by some of the work that a hand full of people had done. I came across a familiar face, Ms. Smith. I looked over her file thoroughly and determined to find a single reason why she was fired. Yet i couldn't find one and it was like that with a few other people.
"Riley get me Wayne now."
"Y-Yes Sir" She said out of breath.
I set the files of all the people that didn't need to be fired in my secret compartment as well as the currently employed people. I picked up my phone I started asking around about the people who didn't need to be fired and asked that they keep our conversation confidential. It was nothing but good things said about all of them, especially Ms. Smith. Apparently she was running things like the CEO should have been. Just as I got off the phone Wayne walked in.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Sit"
"Is there anything I could help you with?"
"Can you explain why good employees have been fired from this company?"
"I've fired all the bad employees like you asked sir." he asked confused.
Seeing his reaction sparked an immediate plan in my head.
"Alright."
"Alright?"
"Yes, it was a test to see if you're confident in yourself and your decisions as a CEO."
"Oh."
"Yes and you've passed."
"Thank you sir." his chest filled with pride.
"Before you leave i'm thinking about giving you a raise."
"Oh, thank you."
"Only if you aren't wrong about the people you've fired."
"I'm not sir." he said with his chest out full of confidence.
"Great. Thats exactly what I need from my CEO, confidence."
I need to keep his confidence boosted here at work and make him think his life is going great. I chuckled realizing how evil my plan is now that I put it into action.
"Riley tell Mr. Wayne not to hire anybody to be under him just yet."
"Yes sir."

It was the first game of the day and of football season. I was ready for war. I love the smack talk, food beer, and everything else that football season brings. It was much better than basketball season.
"You ready?" John asked his voice full of pride.
"Do you remember the bet?"
"If I win you get me a mustang, game system, and the head of a 24 point deer that I want the most ."
"And If I win?"
"I have to get you a 2020 silverado customized exactly how you want it, game system, and a bully puppy."
"Surprised you remembered."
"Its starting."
"Game time."

There was a minute left on the clock. The Cowboys and Patriots were tied. The Cowboys had the ball and I was on the edge of the couch sweating hard. John was layed back, cocky as if he already won. The food was gone and the Cowboys just scored a touch down but missed the kick through the field goal.
"Its cool we won anyway." John said then laughed
"The Patriots have 45 seconds left to score a touch down." the annoucer said through the tv
"Bae give up yall lost." he said as he opened and took a swig out of the last beer
"Shhh, they have the ball.
The Patriots had the ball and took a kneel. After they went up five yards, they took another kneel.
"What are they doing?" they announcer asked
I knew exactly what was happening and i was hoping it worked. There was 30 seconds left on the clock and they was half way down the field. I just hoped it was enough time to get a touch down.
"The captin of the Patriots have the ball and is quickly getting surrounded."
John laughed and yelled "Get him"
"He dodges a Cowboy and pass it to the wide receiver at the 75 yard line. Wo look at him go."
"s**t" that made John sit at the edge of the couch as he slammed the beer down
"There is on 7 seconds on the clock and they are closing in on the wide receiver"
"s**t" now it was my turned to be worried
"80 yard line with 5 seconds..."
I refuse to loose.
"90 yard line with 3 seconds..."
I will win this bet.
"Look like he's going to make a touch down."
OH
"He just got tackled by a Cowboy..."
MY
"2 seconds left on the clock and the patriot is struggling to get into the end zone..."
GOD
"And it's a TOUCHDOWN!"
"YES!" I jumped up and screamed
"s**t" John yelled out of fustration
"Wow he made it into the end zone with a second on the clock and the two teams are now tied up..."
We waited for the commercial to go off and they were ready to kick the ball
"Patriots fans keep you fingers crossed..."
I crossed my fingers
"Aaaannnd its good, the patriots have won."
I took the beer John had, sat back and took a swig.
"Looks like you're going to have a whole in your pocket."
"Before I do, lets burn our anger and fustrations."
"How cause im still pised about being fired."
"I know just the thing" he said as he kissed my neck.
" Lead the way."
