Blake

"Perfect". I groaned in frustration. My curly afro hair is never ready for the day, from struggling to straighten it to trying to keep it straight for the whole day is a difficult task. I glanced at the my vibrating phone, it's my bestie! My inside jumped with joy. God knows if I was queer I would have walked done the aisle with this girl a long time ago because I love her so much. "Babes" I chirped. "Kimberly" she answered in her rather small voice. We are totally different in everything. From my brown skin to her slightly pale skin to my five feet and nine inches height to her five feet and seven inches height to my annoyingly curly thick brunette to her so perfect straight blonde . The difference is too much, our personalities are two different poles apart. I hate parties but I'm a bad bitch, she love parties but won't go because I won't be there. Yass that's how selfless Aimee is. "Are you listening to me* she screamed. " Yeah I was... But I got lost for a moment would you like to come again?"I replied feeling guilty for having lost concentration."I said are you ready for work, you said today's an important day for you". "Yeah I'm done, I just need to gloss my lips... Done, I'm on my way, talk to you later babes" I said as I walked out of my apartment door.

My life is comfortable , not my perfect choice of word actually because I'm well comfortable but then I want to be humble with my brain. My job as a marketing manager for the Blakes, the winery that I work for is fulfilling, I have a comfortable home and a nice ride. What more could I wish for.

I stared at the huge building in front of me "This is going to be a long day" I muttered under my breathe. My boss's boss's boss's boss will be here today and I heard he's here to stay for a long time. I would have also wished for a novel romance where the boss falls in love with a worker like a lot of my coworkers wish for if I didn't know better. My boyfriend from high school, who is now my ex is my boss, Frederick Blake.

"Kimberly Leonard" my boss, grace screeched. I wanted to bang her plastic head on the wall so badly but I just smiled sweetly at her. " Good morning Grace, you look good this morning" I lied, she looks like the bin dressed her. "Why is it taking you so long to get the perfect bottle design for the new flavor" she sounded angry, ohhh man who pissed in her tea. " I'm sorry Grace, you know it's not my job alone... I will get to it now". The death in her glare sent my running to my office but then I need an early morning selfie to let jack know I'm at work.

My phone chimed just in time. THE BOSS IS AROUND!!! My office buddy Ella sent. We are really not buddies but she thinks we are sisters because we both have an African root which I keep telling her is not valid because none of my immediate family is really African, the African root sits with my grandma and it ends with her.

The conference room was filled with workers that I didn't know the company had. We were all seated and the room was so silent that you'd hear a pin drop. I was tapping on my phone when I felt everyone stand up. Even without looking up I knew Fred was here, the aura was too strong to not be noticed. I looked up to meet a particular pair of familiar gray orbs, if I wasn't such a bad bitch I would have sworn that I felt a pull between my thighs but then 'I'm a BAD BITCH' I screamed internally. I've seen alot of his picture but mannn are you a fucking Greek god. We were told to seat. Everything that occurred in the meeting was blur to me as I kept inhaling the scent of my boss."Kim" Ella shouted." What" I asked looking confused as to why she screamed my name. "The boss was asking you a question". Ella said looking at my with pity. "What were you saying Sir" I jumped on my feet. Fred didn't say a word, he just stared at me for what felt like forever " I asked if we can expect the perfect design for this new flavor". He finally said with a mocking look on his face... There was something else on his face, something that I wish I'd seen there those years to know where I stood, HATE!!. I yearned for that but it broke my heart to actually see it. But now that I know he hates me, I can't let him see me crumble. I lifted my chin and stood more confidently "yes sir, nothing but the best" I like how confidently I sounded, like the bad bitch that I am. "Considering how you were daydreaming just now in your place of work, I'm not so sure you will do up to our expectations". He said with an hint of challenge in his voice. " I've worked for this company for 4 years now and I've never failed sir" I replied. "I hope you won't fail again Miss?" He asked. 'oh really you want to pretend like you never met me... Wow' I thought. "Kimberly sir and you said again sir, have I failed you before?". I was outsmarting him, yay. "Yes Miss Kimberly, by your mode of dressing. It doesn't look accommodating enough. It looks too bossy". "Uh... Em... Ok Sir". I sat down defeatedly.
