Anyone could go giddy by only shopping with people like Praise and Tracie. They were pretty crazy. They always wanted to buy everything in the mall. Aside from Vicki and the rest of my family, they were my best friends. Though they could be so annoying sometimes, they were the best friends anyone could ever wish to have. We had been friends for about twelve years, so I understood them a lot.
Praise was the eldest. She was twenty seven, and was married to a black English man. They had a pretty two year old girl, and were hoping to have a baby soon. She was tall, had a beautiful dark skin, and was very beautiful. Since she was an American, her husband and her decided to settle down over here. That was good for me. At least, I wouldn't have to miss her.
"Oh, that's the curling cream!" She hurried over to the shelf which had a couple of hair products. I rolled my eyes, knowing that she had been dramatic when she had screamed out that

I scanned my eyes around, looking for Praise. In a short while, I saw her standing by the other side of the mall, just opposite Tracie and me. She was smirking, and I knew she was ready to do something stupid."Oh, help! Please, do something!" Sherri kept hopping around like a maniac. Of course, it was hard for anyone to help her out. Would anyone want to open her panty only to kill the cockroach in it? Well, in fact, a couple of people were filming her.She threw her hands into her hair, her face squeezed like she was weeping hard. Her butt poked backwards, her hands dashing into her miniskirt, probably trying to get the cockroach.She rolled her eyes around, seeming like she was searching for something. And, the moment her eyes landed on the corridor which led to the restroom, she gasped. All of a sudden, Tracie disappeared. I didn't know where she went, but all I knew was that she stepped backwards.&

I ran my fingers into my hair, feeling so drained. Propping my elbow on the table in front of me, I let out a sigh. I couldn't wait for the weekends. Work could be very tiring sometimes.The knock on the door caught my attention. I had thought it would be Ryan, but well, I didn't think he'd be dumb enough to knock, when he could easily walk in.Grouchily, I pulled my swivel chair backwards, stood up after dropping my pen on the table, walking to the door. I could have just asked the person to come in, but due to how tired I was, my voice might not be loud enough.I pulled the door open, took a step backwards. "Oh, you." I noticed a smile creeping to my lips. "How're you doing, Kenneth? Nice seeing you again."Those green were staring deeply at me, his lips smiling widely at me. I really liked seeing this guy. But woah, why had he come to my office?"I'm gr

I didn't think Mr. Shawn could have the guts to touch me, and tell me he had some feelings for me. Fine, there was no big deal about his feelings. It wasn't a crime for him to like me. However, his approach wasn't nice. Also, I didn't think I could give him a chance in my heart. Everyone knew he was a Playboy, a guy almost every woman liked. Between, he had no respect for women.Seeing Sherri walking out of Ryan's office, I looked away. I didn't want to encounter her craziness. Mr. Shawn had ruined my mood, so I really couldn't let her crawl to the list.Ensuring she had stepped out, I arranged my table, ready to head home. Taking a bunch of files from the table, I made my way to Ryan's office. Before knocking on his door, I took a deep breath. After he had yelled at me, I had ensured we didn't get to see each other. He had really scared me earlier."Come in." His thick voice sounded from his office.

It wasn't like I was scared of her or something, but well, I was scared of her right now. How in the world had she come in, and we hadn't heard her footsteps? Was she a ghost? And, she knew the door pin of Ryan's door?Ryan sat up immediately, sat straight. Like a criminal, I sat as well, feeling quite tense. This felt so embarrassing. I had known I shouldn't have come here.She took a step close, tears filled in her eyes. "Ryan, what's this?! Have you gone this far?""Oh, goodness." He raked his fingers in his hair, sighed hard. Leaning into the couch, he used his hand to tug the back of his neck. "Sherri, breaking a glass cause you're angry, isn't nice. That thing's expensive. And, why would you come here without telling me?""Don't divert from this topic." She put her hands on her waist, holding back her tears as she blinked hard. "And whatever, I'll get you a new glass. Ryan, what's your pr

"Did you blush?" Praise asked, as she dropped the last plate of corn dogs she and her husband, Daniel, had just made, on the dining table.I rolled my eyes, huffed. "Of course not. Why would I blush? He's my boss, remember? Fine, we spoke for a long time, but I couldn't possibly fall for him in only a few hours."Tracie chuckled as she slurped her burnt ends. "You're such a weirdo. My husband and I were friends for two years. I fell for him in a second. I mean, it's a particular moment you discover your love for someone.""True," Praise contributed. She joined us on the dining table, took a deep breath when she settled to sit. I passed the plate of corn dogs over to her, and she grabbed one of them. "Well, my love story is… pretty boring. But, um, Tracie's right."I giggled. "Boring?"Daniel cleared his throat as he dropped the jug of orange juice on the table, givin

I balled my hands up in a fist. I was so devastated.As soon as the video stopped playing, the workers leaned close to one another, blabbing like jobless idiots. The female workers who obviously didn't like me for some unknown reason, were smirking at me, seeming quite happy for my predicament. Who could have done this? Mr. Shawn?I turned back to him, swallowing my tears. "MrShawn, who filmed that? Where in the world did you get it from? Huh?""That should remain confidential." He put his hands behind him, wandering in front of me. "Someone sent it to my office this morning.""The video is false. Mr. Arthur's a witness. Yes, we stumbled against each other last night, but I can assure you that nothing went on between us, and nothing goes on between us. He's just my boss," I explained.He laughed, his laugh sounding quite crafty. "What do you think I am?

I let the tear trickle down my cheek. I couldn't believe he had just said that. I had known he would probably think of firing me, but I truly hadn't expected him to say it."Mr. Shawn." I blinked away my tears, thinking of the next thing to do. Was I to apologize or what? "You can't fire me for a mere thing like this. I mean, we can just talk things out."He tittered, that menacing look creeping to his face. "At this point, I disagree with that. You're leaving. That's my final decision.""Hey, Raymond." Ryan yanked at Mr. Shawn's arm, twirled him around, shooting glares at him. "You can't do this to her. It's crazy. Fine, fire me instead. I'm the one arguing with you, not her, okay?"Mr. Shawn snorted. "My man, you're a blessing to my job. I can't let go of you. So, she has to go.""This is crazy!" Ryan barked. "Is this how to treat a person? Huh? All because she refused to

After washing the dishes in the kitchen's sink, I used a napkin to wipe off the oil stain on the counter, and ensured the kitchen was clean. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, I gulped its content down my throat, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, then made my way out of the kitchen.Getting to the living room, I scanned my eyes around, searching for the rest of my family. Only ten minutes ago, they had been here. Where had they gone to?Leaning into the couch I settled to sit on, I shut my eyes, and sighed. I let the serenity around me manifest into my senses. The room was completely silent, only the sizzling sound of the air conditioner making a faint sound.Suddenly, a sad feeling brushed through me. Here I was, jobless and hopeless. Mom and d
