I had finished the last report when the elevator opened and a woman walked out "hello I'm Sam, Ms. Jackson said she was expecting someone so you can just go right in"
"So you're Sam" she said stopping at my desk with a smile.
"I am, I'm sure your mother has told you about me"
"Oh she said you didn't know about the deal yet but I guess they didn't bother waiting for me to tell you"
"Deal?"
"...I guess they didn't tell you. Don't worry they will. I'm excited and I hope you agreed to the terms" she said "you are beautiful" she walked off and into the office and shut the door.
What the fuck is wrong with this family?
I decided to open the cooler that I had put under my desk and take the bottle I grabbed first out which happened to be vodka. Nice. Where's Jennifer?
I grabbed the phone and called into Madelyn's office "I told I was to not be disturbed so whoever this is pack up and leave you're fired" she said.
"But I just spent all yesterday watching two gorgeous women putting together a baby room, fine. can I atleast have have a thirty day notice?"
"Sam shut up, I didn't know it was you. What do you need?"
"Where's Jennifer?"
"I sent her home early because she wouldn't stop crying. Why?"
"Just wondering, hows Thomas doing?"
"He's fine, he fell asleep on me"
"Aww that's cute"
"Hey I have to let you go"
"Okay, bye"
"Bye"
I hung up and grab ed my bottle and went to the elevator and down to the front desk "do you ever get a day off?" I asked Roxanne.
"I do but you call me on my days off to have a conversation with you"
"You're off tomorrow right?"
"I am"
"How'd you get here today?"
"Well my cars in the shop so my husband dropped me off and is coming to get me when my shift is over but maybe later since he doesn't get off till later"
"It's 8:15 what time does your shift end?'
"9"
"Good" I sat the bottle on the counter and smiled "wanna get drunk?"
"I'm on work hours still"
I shrugged "you're with me you'll be fine. Do you have any shot glasses?"
"We have coffee mugs in the back"
"That'll work"
I walked around the desk and sat in the spinning chair next to her and she got up and went to the back and came back with two mugs and handed me one and sat hers down and I opened the bottle "you're a terrible influence on me missy"
"I know but you love me"
"You think everyone loves you but one of these day that live isn't going to be enough to keep you out of trouble"
"And I'll take responsibility for whatever I did but until then" I started pouring vodka into our cups "let's drink"
It took about half an hour before we were both feeling the effects of the alcohol and I was feeling more then her since I was going heavier. "We need music!" I got up and walked over to the microphone that looked like what schools used to speak over the speakers "does this thing work?" I asked.
"I haven't used that in three years so who knows"
I pressed the button and a noise went over the speakers "hello" I said into it then heard my voice and smiled "it does work!" I cheered to Roxanne. "Hand me a piece of tape" I told her and she did so I taped the button down and got my phone and played the first song I seen but my vision was blurry so I couldn't see so I was just playing Russian roulette with the music.
When the beat played my mouth dropped and a smile came on my face "Evelyn loves this song! This is our karaoke song!" I started singing it "Certified freak, seven days a week" I sang and went back to my cup taking a drink and refiling it
"Tie me up like I'm surprised
Let's role-play, I wear a disguise
I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage
Make it cream, make me scream
Out in public, make a scene
I don't cook, I don't clean
But let me tell you, I got this ring (ayy, ayy)
Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah)
Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)
I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I'm 'bout to be"
Roxanne had her eyes wide but a smile was on her face and she was laughing and cheering me on.
"Talk yo' shit, bite your lip
Ask for a car while you ride that dick (while you ride that dick)
You ain't never gotta fuck him for a thing
He already made his mind up 'fore he came"
"Yess get it" Roxie yelled.
"I let him taste it, and now he diabetic
I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp
I wanna gag, I wanna choke
I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing that swing in the back of my throat"
I heard the phone ringing but was to busy getting more to drink.
"Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes
Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating
Put him on his knees, give him some' to believe in
Never lost a fight, but I'm looking for a beating"
Roxanne was so happy and was just matching my vibes.
"If it don't hang, then he can't bang
You can't hurt my feelings, but I like pain
If he fuck me and ask, "Whose is it?"
When I ride the dick, I'ma spell my name, ah"
"I want to dance! Ms. Jackson...I just thought of something" I paused and grabbed my phone and started playing a song.
"I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (oh), I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (oh), I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times" I sang with the song and laughed.
I skipped the song and laughed at the next "I lost my virginity to this song!" I laughed
"Oh, yeah
Don't need permission
Made my decision to test my limits
'Cause it's my business
God as my witness
Start what I finished
Don't need no hold up
Taking control of this kind of moment
I'm locked and loaded
Completely focused my mind is open
All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God
Don't you stop, boy"
As soon as the beat hit the elevator opened and I met the eyes of satan herself.
Madelyn.
"Somethin' 'bout you
Makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
Somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout"
The song continued to play over the speaker and she started walking towards me but she looked angry "oh shit" I heard Roxanne whisper "I'm about to be fired" she finished her drink and scooted out out her chair until she was under the table hiding.
I grabbed my phone to pick the perfect song before Madelyn gets here and skipped to the middle.
"And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come"
"Let's talk about this" I said but she didn't look any calmer.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
I took off running like the song told me to and she started chasing after me and I accidentally screamed and I was terrified I ran around the desk and she chased me so I ran to the door and started pulling on it but it wouldn't open and I was screaming, scared that she was going to catch me but then I saw the words push and I pushed the door just in time and it opened and I ran out into the rain and she chased me.
I got a few streets down and I looked behind me and she was still chasing me so I took a couple turned and bright lights distracted me and I looked around the this part of town was so beautiful at night. I slowed my run a bit and she caught up to me and grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to her just in time for me to hear a horn and someone speeding by and my heart stopped. I almost got hit! I almost instantly sobered up right there.
I connected eyes with Madelyn and she still looked mad "what were you thinking!" She yelled at me but I couldn't focus with her eyes in this lighting. "You could've gotten yourself hurt! And that stunt you pulled with the speakers! That's bullshit be glad I don't fire you! You're putting me in a really tight spot Sam! If I don't fire you people are going to talk and that's a law suit Sam! I'm giving you special treatment and I can't lie about that, what do I do!? Because I don't know"
I put my hand on her cheek "fire me"
"No"
"It's okay, fire me. I'm a terrible assistant, I'll get a different job and you won't have to deal with people talking. Kiss me. Then we'll go back to the company and I'll stop my music and let you scream at me and tell me I'm fired so you can make sure everyone here's it"
"No, I'm not firing you"
"Madelyn you have to fire me. It's okay"
"Why'd you do this tonight?"
"I just wanted a drink and to dance and I wanted you attention and you promised you'd dance with me but you never have"
"I would've"
"You're beautiful" I said "and you're eyes are compelling...dance with me Madelyn"
"Not here"
"Yes here, dance in the rain with me"
She sighed and slid her hands around my waist and I put my arms around her neck "there's no music"
"Certified freak" I started.
"No! Not that" she cut me off and I laughed.
"We don't need music"
"It'd be nice though" she said and after a moment she started humming and started rocking with me but pulled out her phone and played a song and put it out loud before putting it back into her pocket and she played how deep is your love by bees gees and we started dancing together in the rain.
"I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love"
She held me close and put a hand on the side of my neck and her thumb ran over my cheek.
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
She stepped back and spun me and I laughed a bit and spun back into her.
And you may not think, I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
We ended up in the street and thankfully there wasn't any cars.
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
We were dancing up and down the street and I was smiling and so was she.
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
We finished the song and she leaned down and kissed me "I hate how whipped you have me" she said.
"You're not going to fire Roxanne are you?"
"Hell no, she's only got this year before she retires and she's worked hard for it"
"I'm glad. I'm sorry"
"It's okay. I can't believe I have to fire you"
"I'll get a job and pay rent"
"No you won't"
"I'm not just going to be a squatter"
"You won't be"
"Then what will I be?"
"...I hate even thinking of this but my mother wants to speak with you"
"For what?"
"You'll see"
