Should I say that we are stucked in time or what??? Repeating the same thing every single day just because we are jobless. Gosh it is tiring. I have been in the gang of jobless people for almost 2 weeks now and we have only 3 weeks left for us to renew the payment of the apartment, God help us. This is not how I planned the way I and Stacy will live. I wanted everything to be close to perfection but I am not anywhere close to good, I still have a long wa...........
"Ouch. Why the heck did you pinch me?" I asked.
"Good question. I have been here shouting your name for almost 2 mins. Where was your mind hun?" Stacy asked quizzically.
"Nowhere, it was right with you all the time." I answered back with a shrug.
"Oh yeah how can I forget it has been here all the time. Am sorry. But pls help me rephrase everything I have been saying for the past 30 mins. Rephrase it in just a sentence or better still a word about what I have been saying since." Stacy said. She can be crazy at times but I know how to deal with this situation.
"But still that didn't give you the audacity to pinch me. Sis it was painful." I said changing the subject.
"I know and I have apologised. But still that did not give me the right answer to my question which is to rephrase everything I have said in the last half hour in a word to know if your mind is 'with me' hun." She ended her speech with a challenging look. She can be a drama queen sometimes.
"Okay fine, you win. I haven't been listening to you at all." I surrendered. Seriously, no one can go into a competition with Stacy and win because I tell you, my girl doesn't back down.
"Well done my lady. I expected you to continue with your argument which will literally waste your time honey." Stacy said with a smirk.
Seriously I have gotten one friend and that is Stacy.
"Like always, you win." I said truthfully.
"Yeah, that's right pumpkin." Stacy said with a smirk.
What! Yeah I heard that right.
"Stacy!"
"What?" She asked like she does not know what I am talking about.
"Seriously, we gonna act like we don't know what I am talking about." I asked more of like a statement.
"Okay, right now I don't know what you talking about." If I am not gonna talk she will continue with the act.
"I have warned you times without number not to call me PUMPKIN." I said through gritted teeth.
"Ohhhh. That, I forgot." She said with a not-so-serious face.
"I can't count how many times you have said that and now I don't want that same lame excuse the next time you call me that HELL I dont want a repetition of that." I said emphasising on every word.
"Yes my lady." She replied with a royal courtesy.
"Such a drama queen." I said smiling. She sure knows how to make me smile when angry. Hell no one can get angry with Stacy it feels like you are just wasting your time.
"That I am. Before I forget, I wanted to tell you that I am going to the library today to get some books. Is there anything you will want me to grab for you?"
"I think we will be needing some veggies so, you can grab that from the store for me." I replied happily because, I will get more time to look up for job opportunities.
"Actually, I wasn't talking about grabbing food stuffs for you I was talking about books but nonetheless I will help grab some veggies at the store. Happy now." She said smiling.
"Yes. And I think you will love to get going, the library will soon close and I am sure you wouldn't want that." I said obviously wanting her to be on her way.
"Yeah sure and buh-bye." And she poofs out. I get that a lot. I mean she not letting me reply her goodbyes is a part and parcel of her.
Now I am left to dwell in my own world. World of joblessness. So to while away time, I started looking up for job offers online. I saw many offers but one caught my attention, the KINGS ENTERPRISES is looking for a personal assistant. To be given an opportunity to be interviewed is seriously by God I mean, a billionaire company! do you know the kind of people that are given the opportunity to work there, not just ordinary people like me work there, people who have high standard works there. But still am gonna give it my try. Then I did one thing that I know, which is sending my application and other needed documents to their website. I looked up for other offers and I applied to those that are both paying good and those that are not paying good. We seriously need this money.
I have done my part and all I have to do now is wait for their replies. Not having anything to do makes everything boring so I went back to my room to get changed into something comfy and maybe get myself busy in something either playing games or watching movie because seriously this boredom is killing me a lot.
After I was done with getting myself comfortable i played video games and when I was getting tired from playing, I decided to turn on the TV and scrolled through Netflix until my eyes landed on my best indian movie Tiger Zinda Hai. I watched it till I fell asleep.

I have had enough of my parents telling me to go get married. As in I am 30 and they are ordering me around like I am still their 10 year old boy. It is freaking annoying. I tell people to do things for me not the other way round. Well they have given me an ultimatum and if I don't do what they have asked me to do then I am obviously requesting for fire to burn me.
"Good morning sir." My employees were saying their greetings to me and all I do is just nod my head or better still not do anything to reply their greetings. Then suddenly someone bumped into me.
"Watch where you are going Mr." The guy said to me.
Seriously in my company, this guy gat some balls. I thought to myself
You've gat to show him who you are. My mind decided to pop in.
"Who are you?" I asked the guy with an eyebrow raised.
"Who am I? Seriously." The guy fired me back my question dramatically.
No more time for rubbish, I think I should let this guy know me already because no one f***s with me.
"You can not walk into my company and start giving me orders." I stated and the expression on the guy's face changed from anger to fear.
Yeah that's what I am talking about, you've just placed him in his place. What's up with my mind interrupting again.
"Who is he?" I didn't bother asking him again, I picked up my phone and called my secretary to come to the first floor ASAP. It didn't take her a few minutes before she was here. God knows what I will do to this guy if he works under me.
"He is the new guy that has just been offered the job at the Accounting office. Mr. Mason Downs." She replied me immediately.
Well judging by the way this guy is trembling before me I might consider letting him keep his job, but me being me, wanna show who still runs this company and who still gat power I thought of a punishment for him.
"He can keep his job, but make sure that 10% of his salary is deducted for three month." I said and walked away.
When I got to my office, I almost ran out of breath because I was shocked when I saw Kevin in my office. My secretary should have given me a heads up. I am definitely going to fire her.
"Don't even think of doing it man." He said with grapes in his mouth.
"Doing what?" I asked him because I am oblivious to what he is saying.
"Dont fire her, your secretary because I instructed her not to tell you." He replied
"Whatever. So what's up. What is the occasion." I asked him quizzically.
"We are having an all guys night out today. So I came to tell you to be there." He said
"Am not coming." I told him.
"Didn't ask whether you are coming or not I said be there." He said dramatically.
"You dont order me around like you own me." I said through gritted teeth.
"Didn't say I own you. Just be there. Bye." And that was it, he left. Leaving me no choice.
What is happening to me today with people ordering me around. Gosh, well I will be there because I need a place to clear my head.
