Lila is just starting to live her new life after college but she feels the breeze from the past that is coming to life again. Alcohol, friends, boys, job hunting are Lila's smallest problems. Check it out and found out more!
Since its Friday, I prayed to myself that Bridget wouldn't keep me here today until late night hours. I wanted to spend the rest of the afternoon with Chris.

I've been through with the paperwork for a while now, and I'm finishing with updating social networks. All I have to do is visit Bridget's office.
I knocked easily and waited for her signal to come in.
"Go ahead!"
Bridget is a really nice, smart woman. I don't understand why Chris would reject her. But maybe it's better if I don't know.
"Lila, what do you need?"
"I wanted to inform you that I have completed the necessary paperwork, everything is in place and ready for your signatures. I also updated and refreshed all our social networks... So I was wondering... "
"Could you go home today at a normal time?"
"Well... Only if you don't need me. "
"As far as that goes, I'd like to apologize. I know I've been a little overwhelmed with your work for the last few weeks but it's only because I trust you and I see so much potential in you. I want you to learn by my side, firsthand and in the end, for you to gather as much experience and skills as you can. I'm sorry if I was too harsh on you. "
I was astonished by her honesty and I was glad to hear such a thing from her.
"I'm glad and honored that I have a chance to learn from you! Thank you for your kind words. Don't worry, you were great! "
"And of course you can go home. Now if you're done as you say. "
"Yes, it's all settled! Thanks again. Have a nice weekend! "

"When were you going to tell me it's your birthday tomorrow?" – Chris asked me while getting up from his bed where we just had sex in.
"Wait, how did you find out?!"
"I accidentally rearranged some of the papers of all employees and ran into your CV. But why didn't you tell me?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure. In the last few years, I've only spent it with my family and my two best friends. "– by saying this I recalled that I would only celebrate with one this year. Carrie.
"If I had known, I would have prepared something for you. Bought a gift or..."
"Come on, Chris, don't worry! If you want, we can have dinner with Carrie and her boyfriend tomorrow? "
"Great idea. Let me know the details! "
I was lying there for a few more moments until I remembered I had to meet Carrie. I looked at my watch and noticed that I was about ten minutes late. For the first time in my life.
"Shit! I forgot about Carrie! "
"Should I drive you?"
"Yes, please!"
I called her and explained how I was on my way. She said she was waiting for me at the Niel's because it is raining heavily outside.

I was squeezing the doorbell button for the third time, and there was no answer. I knocked, rang again, but nothing. I pressed the handle and the door was unlocked. It was dark in there, only a small source of light came from the living room.
What do you have planned now, Carrie? I thought as I saw a giant box in the middle of a coffee table with a note.
"Don't be mad at me and forgive me for not being here. In the box is everything you need to get ready, as well as the dress and shoes. At exactly 8 p.m. a limo will come for you. Niel was so nice that he gave you the apartment by then. Trust me! I'll see you then. Love, Carrie"

The color of the dress was a beautiful purple soft. My favorite color. And the heels weren't too high. Just the way I like them. She's really crazy and I love her for that!
I accepted this chaos and began to get ready in the ignorance of what awaits me. I can expect anything since this is Carrie.
The clock was ticking at exactly eight o'clock and I heard the doorbell ring.
The driver was polite. He opened the door of the limo for me and when I asked him where we were going, he just smiled and started driving...
