Crazy Stupid Love

Girl Time With The Bestie

Bella, Bella... Chika wake up"

I slowly open my eyes and April is standing right in front me with a cup of coffee. I realize that I am still on the couch. I must have dosed off when I watching the television.

“What time is it?”

I asked April as she handed me a cup of herbal tea.

"It's just after six babes..." She sat on next to me and tucked herself besides me.

"So... did you get it?"

She asked as she stretched her arm.

"What time did you get home?"

The last time I checked I was alone in the house.

"Just a few minutes ago,so? Are there any hot guys over there...?”

She put her head on my shoulder.

"Well I got the job, I don't know if there are any 'hot guys' at Sullivan’s house but I saw two cute guys yesterday"

I was smiling just thinking of the hot guys I shared a lift with.

"Spill it! Which of them do you have your heart set on?" she yawned louder and opened her mouth wider.

"Linda what are you talking about?" I giggled a bit.

"You know... spill the beans, who is he?" I knew then that she was not going to let this go so easy.

However, there was nothing to tell her except that I shared a lift with two gorgeous people, it was completely innocent.

"There's nothing to tell really, I shared a lift with two hot guys but the other, and I think Chris said he’s the boss, well he wasn’t too friendly if you know what I mean. But there’s just something about him I can’t quite wrap my finger around”

“Yeah! He probably fine as hell too”

“Oh April! Fine doesn’t even begin to describe him”

“I knew there had to be a hot guy or two, is he rich?”

“Of course he’s rich, he’s the boss and so out of my league..."

“Oh come on Bella, You’re hot! Why would he be out of your league?”

“I don’t know but he’s different somehow, he didn’t even look at me twice, just one look and he was done."

“Different is good babes, in fact you need different in your life, after all the s**t you been through you deserve something different”

I took glance at the wall clock in our sitting room and realized that if I did not stand up now there I was going to be late for sure.

"I got to get ready, please find me something I can wear, preferably a dark outfit" I stood up and Linda grabbed my arm.

"Who's Chris? Is he your boss and why would you want dark clothes on a sunny day like this?" She pulled me back and I fell besides her.

"Oh April! Only one of the finest men I have ever laid my eyes on, he was so fine I found myself speechless in front of him, can you believe that?"

She looked at me with anticipation in her eyes

"And? Did you have lunch with him? Did he take you out for breakfast? You did go to work on an empty stomach; mom would kill me if she knew that you know?"

My sister has always been so inquisitive and as the years grew, she became worse. However, she was right about my mother though.

"Don't even get me started on that! As my interview was about to start my stomach started making loud noises. it was like a lion was roaring in my stomach, with every second that went by it got worse, by the time I was done with my interview I thought the whole building heard my stomach growl...

so Jane, my boss she offered me biscuits oh you should have seen me dig into them. I was so hungry those cardboard biscuits tasted like OREO'S,

I have to get ready before I get fired on my second day, I don't even think that ink on my contract has even dried up yet." I got up and she reluctantly let go of my arm.

"We're not done with this yet, I want to know where you met that "Chris guy"

Of course she was not done with me. She wanted every bit of the pie. Not that there was anything to tell about Chris because we hardly spoke for five minutes.

"For God's sake, I was just in the lift with the man, I didn't go home with him! " I thought

"I know, go to bed, you look terrible hun" I said as I stretched my arms and went to the bathroom.

I had time for a shower not a bath. I got in under the hot water and felt every drop of it stretching my muscles.

My body was a bit stiff from sleeping on the couch. I took a long shower not like I normally do but because I knew I had a long day ahead of me so I have to put my best foot forward and show them that I’m a 'Junior' with a gift.

This is the job of my dreams. I would have never thought I would be working for a Company as big as The Base. Multi Billion Dollar Company. This was huge. I was glad I did Multi Media studies and some English literature because here at the Base, they had everything.

From Advertising, Stock broking to Property investments. It was many big companies all under one huge board of directors.

I had read somewhere that the Base was owned by a young man. Rarely seen in Public but I never interested myself much in him.

Chances where that I would never even lay my eyes on him. I can’t say I imagine myself being in a meeting with him. I probably have to get through ten receptionists and ten PA’s just to get a phone call with him.

Well at least for someone in my position that would be the case.

I also read somewhere that he was single or did they say he was gay? I don’t remember very well. I also read that He had made all his Millions as a teenager for developing some software but then again that didn’t interest me much either.

There was not much to read about him. He must be very private about his life. All there was to read was just his business achievements and his passion for fast cars. That was about the only interesting thing about him worth reading but it the article did not state the kind of car he drove so the story went cold for me.

I switch off the shower and wrapped myself in my pink towel. Water dripping over me. I dried myself and went to dry my hair by the mirror. I was thinking about the man in the expensive gray three-piece suit that was constantly on his iPhone.

I had taken a glimpse of his sexy and dangerous brown eyes when he grinned at his colleague. I thought he had beautiful eyes but then again I could be wrong seeing that I only saw them for a second.

There on my bed laid my clothes. Anything but what I had asked for and unlike yesterday, she gave me NO choice. It was either that or go through the walk in closet and pull out a pair of jeans and a top, they would be perfect with my Converse sneakers or I could try and put an outfit together but it could end up being a complete disaster.

Oh beloved! I look at the red dress on the bed. It was Vera Wang designer dress my mother bought me from Paris, April had the same dress in blue, also a gift from my mother.

It had a black belt and small slick black jacket. She threw in a pair of black flat D&G pumps. Thank god for those. I could not handle another day in six-inch stilettos.

I took a deep sigh as I slipped on the black and red Victoria Secret lace boy cut panties, I followed with the bra. I reluctantly threw the dress on and went to a mirror. I had never worn it before.

I was looking good in it even if I should say so myself. It fitted me like a glove exposing my ethnic hourglass figure. Holding on to my curves impeccably.

I looked like anything but me. It was as if I was looking at a different person all completely. Very sexy but I was going to work and sexy was not exactly the look I was heading for.

I took the jacket and threw it on top. Now I looked sexy but also sophisticated. I must say Linz really knows how to put on an outfit together. I slipped on my shoes and went to the mirror for a bit of make up.

I did not feel like putting on too much so I went with light concealer, eyeliner, mascara and cherry red lipstick.

"April is a fashion genius" I murmured with excitement as I took a pout at the mirror.

I went downstairs and she was sleeping peacefully on the couch.

There was a plate wrapped in foil at the breakfast bar, there was a note near it.

NO TIME TO EAT, TAKE ME TO WORK!

I looked at the time and I realized that she is right. She was always right and maybe that is why I could not imagine my life without her. She always took care of me. I felt safe with her.

There was also a flask on the table. I took my food and car keys. Sling my bag and went over to kiss April.

"I'll lock the door," I whispered in her ear.

"Go away please babe and stop shouting in my ear"

she said in a sleepy voice. Not that there was a purpose for any that. I lived in an up market apartment with cameras on every lobby on every floor but I knew she would be sleeping for a long time so I would rather if no one disturbed her.
