CEO's SLUM GEM

Arabella POV “tik tik tik” just like any other day of mornings I am awaken by the ringing of my alarm. It is one of the things that I wonder why people in this part of tyye country buy at all. Yes...this pertubes me alot, I mean everyday that it rings,. I hardly get out of my bed . I always end up having some more ten minutes .. Damn it! But when I remember how tight a schedule I have today, I definitely get out of my wretched bed .Which as Usual makes this funny noise that I am sure means that it is tired but to hell with being tired , it has some more time that it has to work . The truth is I don't even know when that will be but what I know it has to work now. I quickly rush to my small bathroom that is actually attached to my bedroom which at the same time doubles as my living room and let me say everything that I need is in this little one roomed apartment . I quickly take a brief shower shower and get back to my apartment . Checking my phone , surely I am late . I get my black top and a pair of jeans on quickly . Landing my hand in my hair, oh no . It is all disorganized .I am extremely lazy when it comes to combining it but based on what I am going to do today, I need to get it tidy and look like an organized fella ….not actually my thing at all. *** “ Hey bella ” that voice brings a brightening smile on my . “ Hey you ” I respond tthe way I usually do with his . The next thing that I know is an embrace from behind my friend beginning to tinkle me. “ That is enough, we need to to get going ” I respond as I skillfully get out of his hold but of course him being a man , he is able to over power me. “ Let me go ” I wrestle playfully with him attracting attention from by-passers who mostly have hateful looks. “ Look at how everyone is looking at us , Ham ” I say but in vain. “ But what bad thing have I done, I am just holding my best friend . What should I mind about what others are saying” We continue this kind of playfulness until we reach our destination . “ We are already here ” Ham announces like I am not just beside him. “ Come on fool , I am just beside you I think.” I say in a chuckle which results into him chuckling beside me as well . We then get into a serious mood to get into an old building which is actually our work site . You will be wondering tye kind of work that we do here , we help in the process of demolishing some of the interior parts of this building. It is rumoured that there is a wealthy man who has bought it and turned it into a shopping mall. “ What took you so long ?” The hoarse voice of my boss nearly makes me startled. He will never be in a good mood for even a single day. “ He is at it again.”Ham, who is just beside me, whispers just enough for me to hear . After the usual lecture from Mr Tron, we get to wear our overalls along with other workers and get to work. Ay!!! Hush !!! I think I need to First give you a brief introduction about myself . I am Arabella Means aged 18 years of age though I will nineteen in only a few months . I have a model-like body though it is never at any one's disposal given the kind of work that I do. I have been doing the same kind of work for the last three years along with my best friend, Ham, whom so many upto this point confuse to be my boyfriend given how close we are. Anything to do with my parents and school, surely that is business for another day because those are two topics that I hardly have explanation for right now. ** “ Today has been such a tough day ” Ham comments as we get out of the building to grab our lunch at our favorite small restaurant across the street . “ Surely, I just wish I can get the money that I need to pursue a course.” I mouth out my most desire that I have had flowing in my head the last two years. My friend stares at me just like the way he does every time I talk about my dream to pursue a course . “ Ay!! Stay for a moment , I need to get my wallet from behind. I forgot it there .” Ham says out of the blue leaving me standing by the busy road side so that he can get back. After about ten minutes without his return, I am beginning to lose patience and decide to just get going . Just when I am crossing the road, some jerk gets into me and grabs my ass. I hate that. I instantly get an angry stone angrily ready to stone him. However the stone goes flying in the sky landing on the window of a parked car ...am doomed. A car that is parked at the side of the road. It is totally different from all the other parks. It seems so expensive. Every one stares at me in agony and pity . This begins to make me worry . Oh God, I don't want to put myself into trouble. “ What have you done ?” a hoarse voice from behind startles me . “ Who the hell is he ?” I ask myself inwardly.
