1237 Words
“So tell me, Are you excited, Girl?”
“Excited for what?” Andy asked as she munched her snacks. They were watching their favorite tv series, The Vampire Academy. Charlene stayed for another sleepover, and she wasn’t complaining.
“For next week!”
“What's happening next week?” Andy asked again; her eyes were planted on the Television screen. She was too engrossed, not giving attention to what Charlene was saying to her.
“Woman! Your first company gala,” Charlene exasperatingly clarified to Andy. She couldn’t believe Andy wasn’t feeling eager when two weeks ago, they were whacked from finding a dress they would be wearing for the said party. It will be Andy’s first and her fourth since she started working at the company.
“Ohh,” Andy said, looking at her friend, who was now looking daggers at her, “I don't know. I mean, Is it worth going?” Andy asked. She seemed not thrilled about the party lately. She and Charlene already bought their gowns for the said occasion. Andy knew herself she wasn't into social gatherings and events.
“Oh, yes! It'll be fun!” Charlene blurted out, slumping on the couch next to Andy. She then took a handful of chips from her bowl, “So much fun,” she added before munching the chips, “I like this flavor.”
Andy shrugged her shoulders, “We will see, you know me, woman.” She wasn’t a fan of going to events like what Charlene was saying, but she had to since she belonged to the company’s high-ranking employees, “Are you?”
“Yeah, I'm so ready! There'll be boys working from different branches under the D&D group of companies. I need to get myself laid. It’s been a while,” Charlene bluntly replied.
Charlene wasn't really into the hook-up culture. She had slept once. It was more on drunken s*x that she didn’t even remember the full name of the man she gave her innocence with. Before he woke up, she left the man, and that happened in France when she went on business travel with Damien about a year ago. ’Maxi,’ but that was another story for her to tell.
“Yeah, I know you do!” Andy sarcastically agreed, giving her friend a sullen look. Charlene once told her most unforgettable one-night stand with the most handsome guy she ever laid her eyes on. Sadly, Charlene left the man before he woke up. Charlene remembered the guy’s first name, though, but she won't divulge it to her.
“Well, you too…” Charlene teased.
“Excuse me?”
“Yeah, I mean, I know you're waiting for the right man, but you aren’t dating anyone or even meeting any of the guys I try to match with you. How will you find yours?” Charlene mocked, she had been match-dating Andy, but the woman never liked it.
“Well, I don’t care. I’ll just cross the bridge when I get there. Plus, it's not my priority right now, I got to pay my school loan and mom’s debts first, and I’m still young. I have so many dreams; being tied up in a relationship wasn’t on my list. ” Andy answered; it was the last thing on her head.
Charlene chuckled. “As you wish,” she said before placing her eyes on the television screen.
Andy looked at her friend, who was now seriously watching next to her “Yeah, but I am a hundred percent support to your getting-laid plan, woman, I mean, you! Getting laid, not me. Just don’t ditch me at the party, or at least let me know if it is happening soon,” she teased.
Charlene smugly smirked, “Whatever woman, as I told, you’ll find handsome and interesting men in the field,”
“Ohhh, how handsome are they? Eh,” Andy queried
Charlene rested her finger on her temple, thinking, “When I say handsome, they're like Boss’s type of men, not as rich as him but hot, cocky, and dominating type. I like those kinds of men. My only two past relationships were tedious; to say the least, Phil and Mark were too gentle for my type, unlike my ONS guy, God! his husky and deep baritone voice made me drip wet instantly, right then and there at the club, lady.”
Andy rolled her eyes at Charlene, “You're so vulgar, woman!” she said, tittering.
“Well, yeah, you’ll know it, woman, when you cross the bridge,” Charlene playfully answered,
“Whatever!” Andy said, looking at the Television screen,
“Yeah, oh, have you heard the news?” Charlene asked again, “Can you pause that f*****g TV, woman,”
“Fine!” Andy said before pressing the remote control, “What’s the news?”
“Well, it would be a piece of surprise news for the company that even I had no idea at all but this”
“Details, woman, give your details to me.”
“The company will have a new vice-president working under Damien, it’s the son of the current vice-president and Damien's cousin, but since we all know that his name was only a dummy in the company, his very own son will take over the spot, and probably a big help in the future,” Charlene spilled, “But here’s the catch, no one knows his identity, so he would come and revealed himself at the party, even Boss didn’t want to spill the beans with me,”
“Ohhh, mystery, huh? I wonder who that guy is…” Andy held, “Hopefully, he’s handsome and hot as Damien,” she added, vomiting her words out.
Charlene scowled at Andy, “So you admit, you find boss hot and handsome?” she teased,
“Who doesn’t, woman?” Andy defensively replied, but she could feel her shades turned red,
“Then why are you blushing!?” Charlene teasingly tormented Andy’s flushed face. She kind of knew Andy has hots for their Boss, but she was just shrugging it off. But Andy was right. Who didn’t find him striking in the office?. She thought
“I am not, plus, yeah, okay, I find him good-looking and hot, but that’s all!” she shamelessly admitted, yielding to Charlene’s banter.
“Then own him, flirt with him, woman!”
“f**k off, lady!”
“Hey, what’s with the curses?!” said the man’s voice. Andy and Charlene looked at the door. It was from Mickey. He just went home from the gym. They both laughed at him.
“Oh, nothing, bro, we were so excited for the Gala, right, Charlene?” Andy said, death glaring at her friend.
“Yes, Mics, come over here. Let's watch this f*****g series before Andy and I kill each other,” Charlene kidded.
Andy playfully glared at Charlene.
“Sure,” Mickey said before joining the girls. "Which episode are you now?"
