Be Mine

The Meeting

I woke up extra early today don't want to repeat the previous day. Everyone is present in the office already. Why is everyone here? "Am i late again?" i check my watch to confirm that i am not. Even Lucy my colleague is here and I have never seen her coming in early even once. Something is up i can feel it in my bones. Seems like i have woken up in an alternate world and in this world I'm still poor. Sad.

I ask Lucy "Is something happening?" She replied "You don't know"

"Ofcourse I don't know if i knew why would i ask you?"

"It was mentioned in the group chat last night" Wait there is a group chat ? I don't blame them for not adding me in the group chat considering I don't talk to them until i deemed it absolute necessity.

"I am not in the group chat"

" Oh that's why. Ok listen our CEO is coming to the publishing house today I have heard he is very handsome and very rich" She start ranting. Oh that explains why everyone is suddenly so active. Even my manager is all dressed up. Otherwise he walks around in a flip flops. But i don't care who is coming and who is not. I'm here for work.

I am busy in my work when Lucy came.

"Do you mind getting me a coffee?"

I do mind. Can't she see I'm working.

Why can't she get it on her own. God has given her two legs. Better use them.

The line at the coffee shop is way too long. That is the sole reason I don't like coffee shops they are always way too crowdy and noisy. I am busy looking for my phone in my bag that i collided into someone. All the coffee is spilled on me. My white shirt is all ruined. Oh my God not again. That has happened twice in 2 days. I look up to see who i bumped into and it is none other than the guy i least expect to see.

"Watch where are you going" I shouted.

"Hello to you too Amara" Alex my ex cockily replied. He offered his hand to help me get up but i ignored it. I don't want anything from him. I leave him standing here and walk away.

It's surreal seeing him again after all these years. How long has it been 5 years 6 years. Gosh he looks good. Time has done justice to him. He even has a beard now. I remember how much he wanted to grow a beard. I turn around to see him if he still here but he is gone.

Jerking his thoughts out of my head i went to the washroom to clean my clothes or tried to as much as i can. Coffee stains are not easy to get rid of. Lucy came asking for her coffee.

"Well your coffee is sitting on my clothes right now" I said pointing to my dress

"So you didn't bring it?"

"Well if you want it that much you are welcome to lick it off my dress"

"You don't have to be so rude" She muttered.

i am not going to stand in the long line again. If she wants coffee that much she can go buy it herself. I'm not going there for the second time and stand among those sweaty people. People may call me rude or obnoxious but they don't know me personally. I'm not here to please anyone. If someone got a problem with my attitude they can respectfully f**k themselves.
