Be Mine

The Fight

Ben is telling me how one time he got so drunk and danced on top of a stripper table. He showed me the video and i burst out laughing. The water i was drinking came out of my nose. This made Ben laugh too. We must have been very loud cuz Alex came out of his office stomping.

"Why are you making so much noise This is a work place not your house if you want to laugh like jokers do it outside of the nice " He shouted at us and went back to his office. Me and Ben looked at each other and start giggling.

Alex has brought me to a construction site. Again. Bro what am i going to do here? I work in a publishing house what do i know about construction. I think he is punishing me for something. But he is the boss and i don't want to lose my job. I have beared so much i can bear a little more. I'm just praying my patience doesn't collapse.

Finally we are back in the office. Lately he is calling me unnecessarily.

Yesterday he asked me if i have reviewed the file which he gave me 5 minutes ago. Does he think I'm a superhuman? I don't think there is any human being on Earth who can read 150 pages in 5 minutes.

Lucy knocked on my office. What is she doing here?

"Can i come in" She asked

"Sure"

"I want to congratulate you the project you did the company liked it very much" Wait what project.

"But i haven't submitted it to them yet it got lost and had to re-do the whole thing it's still sitting in my computer"

"What are you talking about i submitted that project myself. Alex asked me to do it on Friday. Anyways i better going and congratulations again "

Why did he made me do it again then if he had already submitted it?

I'm fuming right now. He made me come to the office on a Sunday for nothing.

I enter his office without knocking.

"Good to see with your brain you have now lost your manners too " He sassed me. I'm not in the mood to think of a witty comeback . I am way too angry.

"Why did you make me re-do the project and don't you dare lie to me i know it wasn't lost"

" Amara Listen" He instantly got serious.

"No you listen to me with your ears open you have been torturing me ever since you came here. Making me do stuff again and again. Your stupid coffee runs everyday. Interfering in my personal life. I'm done you listening to me I'm done with your s**t . I quit" I let out all the frustration and ran out of the room. I can hear him calling me but i didn't listen.

I collided with a hard chest. He held my waist to prevent me from hitting the floor. It was Ben. He made me sit on a chair. Gave me water to drink. Wiped my tears i didn't even realize i was crying.

"I want to go home" i managed to speak out between my sobs.

"Ok" He drove me home i thought he was going to go but he came in with me. He gave medicine for my headache. My head is killing me.

He didn't ask once what happened which I'm really grateful for. What did i do to get a friend like that. I'm definitely going to thank him for today and i look for a job too. Im jobless. I just need a break. Bills can wait.
