THE CONTRACTED MARRIAGE

The sound of banging drums, the screams of excitement. This is an unconducive environment for a beauty sleep. Hi, my name is Nichole, Nichole Fisher, I'm 22 years old from New York City. You know what normal young adults do after graduating from college, yeah, get a job. But four, four whole months I've waited, it's not like the right job will just come knocking, well...... I had a job, but it's not what you'll quite call a dream job, it was a job as a waitress in a restaurant out of town, not only was the distance far but I soon realised that it wasn't only food the waitresses served " if you get what I mean". So I quit the job. I know it was a bit impulsive, but (alarm rings) gasps "oh my gosh, I'm late for my interview" i dashed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. * * *Downstairs* * * 'Honey, come have breakfast' mom said, "sorry Mom I can't have breakfast" I replied hurriedly, 'come on honey, this is the fifth time that you're ditching food' dad said, "I'm in a hurry dad....by the way, I just feel like it's my day" i said enthusiastically. 'Yeah, like you said it was yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and the day before' (Nichole cuts in) "yeah dad I get it, but I feel like today is different " I said with hope in my voice. 'Hey, sis, aren't you supposed to be in an interview now Luke asked. "Oh my gosh, yes,(turns to mark) Mark what's the time?" I said now in a hurry, 'uhm, 9 o'clock am' Mark replied, "oh no, I'm late, gotta go " I said, racing towards the door, 'wait, sis, what's the name of the company again?' Luke asked with curiosity, "VIBA, byeeee" I answered, slamming the door shut. * * * * Narrator's POV* * * * She hails a taxi and enters, and halfway through, a black limo collides with her taxi. She gets out of the taxi, goes to the limo, bangs it causing the driver to come out, as soon as he's out, she starts ranting, "hey, can't you see you almost caused an accident, and I'm gonna be late for my interview this morning, all because of you", she says angriy, 'I'm sorry ma'am, I'll pay for the damage, could you please calm down, I'm driving my boss's son, and I don't wanna loose my job' he said in a calm tone. Nichole, seeing her talk with the driver yields no results, walks to the passenger door and bangs on the window till it slides down, revealing the most handsome guy she's ever seen, with silky black hair, ocean blue eyes, and pink lips. She got tongue stung, but still manages to talk about the damage," hey mister, you don't go around smashing people's car, you could have really caused an accident, or someone would have gotten hurt," she blurted out, still enraged, but before she could Finish the man in the car looks her top to bottom and throws a bundle of dollar notes right on her face, and tells his driver to drive away. Still shocked an angered by the scene, she leaves the money and rushes to the taxi to attend her interview. * * * * Nichole's POV * * * * *VIBA Telecommunication company * I rushed to the receptionist desk even though I knew I was late,"hi ma'am, I'm.here for the Interview" i said politely, 'oh, I'm so sorry the interview session ended thirty minutes ago', she said nicely, "oh, uhm, thanks anyway" , I said devastated as I walked out.
