It was Tuesday morning, and I was already dreading it.
I had an eventful weekend, and I've only lived here not even a week yet.
I was going to be working with Robert today, this is going to be fun.
NOT!
I ran around the room like a blue arse fly, trying to find my car keys.
Where did I put those fucking keys?
I started to scratch my head and hum.
At last, I found them. They was on top of the fridge, what a great start to the day!
Luckily, I'm only on a 5 hour shift.
I grab my keys, open my front door locking it behind me.
I walk towards my car, open it, and place my bag in the passenger seat.
Put my keys in, and off I drive to work.
9:10am
I got to work just on time, I meet Malcolm at the entrance. He showed me around the hotel, he showed me where to put my bag.
Suddenly, Malcolm showed me back to reception. He taught me how to write in the books, how to answer calls, and if people needed to book a meeting with him, I would have to pass on a message.
Malcolm was very helpful.
Robert arrived at the hotel, he looked hung over.
What a prick!
Robert stood next to me at reception, he taught me a couple of things as well.
The phone rang, and I answered, I was so nervous. But I carried on with confidence.
"Hi Stones Hotel Service, how may I help you?" I asked
"Could I book a room for 2 please, from 6th-8th of September please?" Cried the customer
"Yes of course, could I take your first and last name please?" I asked
"Karen Walker" replied the customer
"Thank you, will you be paying when you arrive or over the phone?" I asked
"When I arrive, when is the check in times please?" Asked the customer
"From 16:00pm-12:00am" I answered
"Thank you" cried the customer
"You're welcome, have a lovely day" I responded
I hung up, and saw Robert was staring at me. Was it because I was confident? Or was it because he disliked me? I couldn't care less either way.
Silly boy!
11:00am
Only 3 hours and a half, then I'll be off home.
So far, I've answered 10 phone calls.
I'm getting quite good at this I think.
Robert was scrolling through his phone, looking at women in bikinis.
Fucking creep!
Suddenly, Miah walked into the hotel, she was walking towards reception.
I'm not even going to look at her.
She looked pissed off.
Who's shit in her cornflakes?
"Hi Robert, do you know where Malcolm is?" Miah asked
"Upstairs on floor 4" Robert cried
Miah smiled, and turned towards me. I didn't pay her no mind, I was writing down the last customer who phoned.
"So do you like it here Katie?" Miah asked
What gives her the right to fucking talk to me?
I was annoyed now.
Again, I ignored her.
I don't trust snakes.
Or people who set me up for no reason, pffft no way!
I carried on, like I was busy. I didn't care about her anymore, she lost my trust the minute she tried framing me.
Miah walked away, and Robert was left staring at me again. What was his issue?
Sponge bob looking twat!
"What?" I asked
"Why won't you forgive?" Robert cried
"I don't trust people who tried framing me" I answered
"I wouldn't either" Robert replied
I frowned. Somehow, he had a change of heart. What's up with him?
Did he just wake up one morning, and have a personality change?
"But you grassed me up to?" I cried
"I didn't grass you up, trust me. I only said that because I was pissed off with my dad" Robert replied
I sighed, why didn't he tell me that? Instead, of telling me it was all him and Miah?
Oh my! What world am I living in?
"I thought you and your dad were close?" I asked
Not that it's any of my business, but that's the issue with me. People can do me over so many times, and I'd still have a heart of gold.
Believe me!
"We are, it's just Miah being Miah" Robert replied
Well, that escalated quickly didn't it?
Was Miah that bad?
Maybe if I wasn't her friend, none of this would have happened.
I wanted to get to the bottom of it all.
Why would she do me so wrong, after all these years?
I was there for her through everything!
"So who was the man she hired, who threatened to shoot her?" I asked
"Listen Katie, how about after work, I'll meet you at the bar and I'll tell you everything?" Robert responded
"Why should I trust you though?" I asked
"If I wanted to grass you up Katie, I would believe me" Robert cried
"So why didn't you?" I asked
Why didn't he grass me up?
He barely knows me, but he should know me well enough that I would never hurt a fly.
Or break anybody's trust, or betray them in any way.
"Because you're a lovely person Katie" Robert cried
I felt my cheeks go red, and I started to blush. Maybe, I got Robert all wrong.
When I first met him, I'll admit I did judge him, he looked cold & brutal.
I often go for them kind of men.
"Thank you" I answered
13:00pm
Half an hour left, thank god.
I need a nap, when I get home.
I wouldn't go to a bar until 7 anyways.
I am starting to trust Robert, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Before I knew, half an hour had flown by already.
I was so busy writing names down, answering the phone, talking to hotel staff that I didn't even notice the time.
"I'll see you at seven" I asked
"Sure, see you at seven" Robert cried
I walked towards my locker, grabbed my bag, and got into my car.
Before I started to drive off, I notice Robert walking out of the hotel and running towards my car.
"Wait Katie!" Robert shouted
I rolled down my window, wondering why was he shouting and what did he want?
"You shit the life out of me" I cried
"Sorry, can you drop me off at the garage please? My car is fixed" Robert asked
"Of course" I smiled
Robert got into the car, he was so tall his head was touching the car roof.
We talked all the way there, I was kinda liking our friendship what was progressing.
It was nice.
The only thing I was worried about, is that Miah would get in the way.
But I didn't care, I was enjoying it.
We approached the garage, I sighed, it was nice having company.
But I enjoy my own company.
"Thank you Katie, I appreciate it" Robert cried
"You're welcome" I replied
I started to drive off, back to my flat, I needed to do some spring cleaning anyway.
I parked my car up, opened the door and locked it behind me.
I walked into the shop to get a red bull, and a few snacks.
I know, red bulls aren't good for you.
I only drink them, when I clean.
Since I've moved into my flat, I haven't done no cleaning. I know that sounds bad, but I haven't needed too.
As 1) I went to Millie's, then I went to the nightclub with Miah (which I regret). 2) I've just worked a 5 hour shift. 3) When I got to London, I ate in a cafe and have been eating in there everyday for the past week.
17:30pm
After I finished spring cleaning, I had a shower, shaved, I wore a blue dress, white heels, black jacket, and wore my black handbag. I felt cute.
I wonder what Robert has to say, especially about the Miah situation.
The more I think about it, the more curious I get.
I hope Miah won't be there, whenever I see her now my blood boils.
It's lucky, I only work three days a week.
Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
18:45pm
I open my door, and lock it behind me.
I walk down the road, and approach the club.
I walked over to a booth, and sat down, I ordered a cocktail.
I patiently waited for Robert...
Suddenly, Robert walked in and sat opposite me in the booth.
I ordered him a rum and coke, because why not?
"Hi you okay?" I asked
"Yes I'm good, thank you for the rum and coke" Robert cried
"That's ok" I smiled
I felt some sort of chemistry between us, I don't know what is going on but you know.
"So, you going to tell me what happened?" I asked
"Yes" Robert replied bluntly
My body started to feel all panicky all over, I don't know why, but it just felt like a weird sensation all over.
"Miah planned it all, she knew the bloke and made him go along with it. She then asked me to grass you up with her, I asked her the reason for all of this. Miah said that you went out with your ex, and she fancied him. She got jealous. Miah has been planning it for months. I said I would grass you up, because I had an argument with my dad and I was pissed. The minute I knew it was wrong, I backed out" Robert replied
Jealous? Why was she jealous? It wasn't my fault that I fell in love. Fuck me!
This is getting stupid.
She planned all of this, before I even got to London?
Why would she do all of this?
Why did it even come to this?
Least Robert knew it was all wrong. But it still hurt me.
She didn't even tell me, she liked my ex.
Ffs!
This is all a mess.
Why would she be jealous of me?
There's nothing to be jealous about me...
