I sigh as Itap my pen on my desk staring off into space, waiting for someone to tell me to do something and I think to myself I knew this would be boring but Jesus I'm gonna grow gray hairs waiting here. I get snapped out of my thoughts when I feel my desk shake and I see a big pile of papers towering over me as a man that won't even meet my eyes but scans my body says to me, the boss wants you to go over these and make sure everything is correct and when and/or if you are done bring them back to my desk.

I look at him forcing him to meet my eyes and ask are you for real? This pile is huge! He sighs as he asks does it look like I'm joking newbie? I throw my hands up as he turns to walk away andI ask what if I don't have this done by the time we close? He sighs again in annoyance as he turns back and says you take it home and finish it! I look at him in shock and ask are you serious? He smirks and says welcome to the real world sweetheart. He winks at me and I feel a chill go up my spine as I scoff and sit down looking at this mountain of paperwork and start going over everything.

6 hours later and with all the rage that fills my soul I pick up the pile and walk to his desk and slam the papers down as I say your papers are done. He looks up at me and says took you long enough! I scoff not trying to hide my anger as I say well some of those were absolute bullshit and you know it, I turn to walk away as I hear him chuckle and he asks what gave it away? I turn back around and say about 50% were the same thing! just stuff repeating itself. He nods as he says you pass the test.

I put my hands on my hips and sigh as I ask what test? He chuckle and smirks mischievously as I realize I've fallen into his trap and I clench my fists as he says I wanted to make sure you actually had a brain in your pretty little head and were not here to just look good, because trust me your hot but I want to work with people who have brains. I try to stand there with a cold expression on my face as I try to not act like this man who I don't even know is getting under my skin as I say well I'm glad I could prove my skills to you, I'm going home now.

I watch him smirk as he says see you on Monday sweetheart! I roll my eyes as I turn to walk away and I feel his eyes on me like a lion eyeing his prey and I try to not get chills up my spine as I gather my stuff and walk out the door as I stand there for a minute letting the fresh air shock my system. I finally feel my shoulders relax a bit as I walk home. I unlock my door and walk in as I throw my stuff on the floor and try to decide between a shower or ordering Chinese and rotting into the couch, I chose the couch at least while I wait on my food.

I pick up the phone and order my food and flop on the couch as I flip mindlessly through tv channels and think about my dad but mainly think about Marcus and I feel a smile appear on my face as I think about his dark brown shaggy hair and his hazel eyes and the tattoo that goes up his arm. I bite my lip at the thought of him but I get snapped back to reality as I hear Phoebe singing smelly cat on the tv and a knock on my door. I get up and look through the peephole to see the delivery guy, I open the door and thank him as I pay him and take the food and shut the door locking it back as I grab some silverware and decide to walk up to the roof and watch the lunar eclipse fall over the city while I eat my dinner.
