Delirium

-GRUMPHY BEGININGS

'Wake up Abby! You're going to be late'
I opened my eyes to see nothing but light. I hate it when someone draws open the curtains, especially when I'm sleeping, it kind of makes me wanna end their life.
'Zion, how many times should we have to go over this? NO-DRAWING-OPEN-THE-CURTAINS! ' I shout.
'Don't you have an interview today? Get your ass up, get ready, go to the damn interview, get a job , earn some money and pay half the rent! Be useful for fuck's sake! ' he said all that in just one breath!.
I didn't say anything cause he's not wrong.

I moved to Texas (from Florida) a month ago. The place I was looking for was not available yet , so I'm living with my childhood buddy, Zion
I've lived with Zion and his family almost all my life.
Zion and I are neighbours, both our parents are great friends.
I was 7 when my mom died of cancer and Zion's mom, Helen took me in, she begged my dad not to take me to my grandma's and that she would look after me.
And she has, all my life.
I don't have many memories of my mom, it's just all Helen.
It was Helen who asked Zion to let me stay with him although he said that his roommate was away for some time so I could use the room, but I know it's not true. Helen probably threatened him.

For the last one month he's been paying the rent and all the other expenses all by himself while I was searching for a job and being nothing but completely useless.
I once tried helping him in the kitchen but that ended up him ordering pizza so he banned me from the kitchen.

I stand in front of the mirror,'you'll do good! Just breathe, be useful!'
I take a cab and reach in front of the magnificent blue - building , Oxpion the best advertising company in texas.
I got inside and it's as beautiful as it is from the outside.
And
It-is-huge! Which means I'm about to get lost

And

I'm lost.
I somehow managed to come back to the entrance for the second time, that's when I decided to ask for help.
I went over to the reception where a lady with long golden hair wearing a blue blazer was enjoying her morning coffee.
I almost feel like not disturbing her peace
But I also have to reach the interview hall by 10am
And it was already 9.44.
She might put a curse on me but it can't help
'hey', I raise my hand up , smiling
She looks up , clearly disturbed I'm pretty sure I heard an ugh
'yes? ' with a super annoyed smile.
'Am.. yeah Hi, can you please tell me where the HALL A2 is? '
'Are you here for the editing interview? '
'No, I'm here for the designer's interview , actually I've always liked designing ever since I was a-
'second floor to the right on the 4th floor , you're welcome , have a nice day ' she says and turns her chair around and starts enjoying her coffee like nothing ever happened.
'ahmm okay thank you... I guess'

After searching for a whole five minutes I finally found an elevator.
As I enter the elevator I notice there's a guy in there. He's wearing an olive shirt, black trousers, white sneakers with a file in his hand.
He's looking at his phone, his hair falling onto his eyes and seeing his body he definitely goes to the gym.
His hazel eyes fixed on the screen , I wish I could see his face a little more . From what I can see, he's beautiful and hot!

Only the button to the 4th floor was pressed and considering the file in his hands I came to the conclusion and he must be here for the interview too.
I want to ask him but he hasn't looked up ever since I got on the elevator, so I might just end up bothering him.
But me being me , can't help it.
'Hi'.
He looked up at me , confused
'mm Hi'
His eyes were even more beautiful without the screen light reflecting on them.
God those eyes!!
He has an angelic voice the ones that literally travels down your spine
I need to talk, cause I'm staring I should say something.
'Are you-..', clearing my throat,' Are you going for the interview too? '
'Am..yeah' he looks at me for a split second and goes back to his phone, what evolutionary thing is he doing in that anyway! I'm kinda pissed.
'oh great! Designing?
'no, editing' he answered and very much still looking at his phone.
'oh, that's great too, I'm going for the design
I love designing! I've always wanted to be a brand identity Designer, I just hope i-'
'okay',giving that split-second-look again.

He seems annoyed.. of course he's annoyed . I'm so stupid.
He's looking at his phone again.
And I decide to just enjoy the view for the rest of the ride.

The doors of the elevator open. I have to go right and the guy started walking left
I need to know his name. I want to .
Although I know I shouldn't bother him (again) but then again, it just can't be helped.
'hey' I called out
He turned, still confused.
I can see his face now and it's nothing less than what I expected how it would be just more than everything I ever expected.
His eye, those small hazel eyes are everything I can see
His wavey raven hair all messed up, his baby pink lips.
I think I'm lost somewhere in those
He looks like an art, a mean unbothered uninterested art, but still an ART
I shake my head to snap out of it
'yes? ' he asked leaning his head forward
'I'm Abby, Abigail Stevenson' I said 'and you?'
'um I'm Adrian Rae'
Adrian Rae
'all the best for the interview' I said waving my hand at him
'yeah you too'
'okay bye'
'yeah'
