Chapter 4

  • A year and some months later.
  • The worse thing to wake up to in the morning was the sound of an annoyingly loud alarm.
  • "Drrrrrrrrrggghhhhh." The alarm kept ringing continuously, Korina reached out a hand to the bed shelve top, grabbed the clock aggressively and put it off.
  • Well, happy lazy Sunday to m e, She thought with internal joy as she leaped off the bed.
  • She stood in front of the tall glass window and watched the sun rising with squinted eyes, the rays streamed through the glass illuminating the room.
  • That was what she loved most about the apartment, it was the view.
  • She yawned and stretched before she felt a sharp shooting pain in her head.
  • "Ouuuuuwwww!" She shouted.
  • A hangover?
  • "Oh, you are up." A voice said.
  • "Yes,I am." She replied, wait what?she didn't remember having a roommate.
  • She whipped around in shock to see a man clad only in boxers, cooking and happily humming in her kitchen.
  • What the fuck?! She nearly screamed.
  • "Who are you? how did you get here?don't move, I am calling the police!" She screamed searching for her phone frantically.
  • "Hey lady, calm down." The man spoke.
  • She picked up a hanger and waved it dangerously at him wishing she'd scare him.
  • "Don't move!" She warned.
  • The man watched her amused.
  • "Daniella!Daniella!" She screamed into the phone, "There is a naked man in my apartment and he's making deliciously smelling pancakes."
  • "Your annoying voice wasn't the first thing I wanted to hear this morning, what is it?" Daniella replied.
  • "There is a strange dude in my apartment and I got a hangover, calling the cops."
  • "Oh, you mean kelvin?"
  • "K...who?"
  • "Kelvin from the club, you remember last night." Daniella tried explaining.
  • "I don't know what you saying, there is a guy in my apartment naked, making pancakes and they smell nice."
  • "At the club yesterday, dumbass." Daniella said palming her face.
  • "Oh..." Korina said in realization as the memories came rushing in.
  • "You do know you have..." Daniella began,"Bye Dan."korina cut her off and dropped the phone.
  • "You, so your name is kelvin from the club." She said facing him.
  • "Yes...my name is kelvin without the 'from the club' in it." He said emphasizing demonstrating with the mug cups he was holding.
  • "Don't you dare break my cups!" Korina warned eyeing him.
  • "I am so sorry."He apologised dropping the cups on the counter," So I was wondering if we could hang out some..."He hadn't finished before She cut him short with a question.
  • "Did we do anything yesterday? you know anything..."
  • "Nope." He replied.
  • She smiled lightly, bent down and picked his pants and shirt from the floor threw them in his arms and pushed him towards the door.
  • "Wait...i..." He said.
  • "What is it?"
  • "Could we hang out?maybe like a date or something, meet up for coffee perhaps?" He pleaded.
  • "Sorry,I don't do men"She answered.
  • " you do females then." It was evident that he was sad for his face fell after her response.
  • "No! I don't, you know what...get out!" She said finally pushing him out the door and into the hallways.
  • Phewww, She locked her door, walked over to the bed and fell on it embracing sleep again.
  • She woke up later to the sound of her phone ringing.
  • "Hello." She spoke, her voice still sleep filled.
  • "How's work? your boss unleashed her inner dragon yet?" Daniella asked with a chuckle.
  • "Dan, dumbass Daniella, today is Sunday."
  • "Nope, korina today is Thursday and you should be at work by now."
  • Korina looked at her phone screen.
  • "Oh My God!!!" She screamed.
  • Daniella shook her head wondering when her cousin would ever get her life straight.
  • "It's Thursday Dan, my boss would kill me, it's freaking 9:30 AM." Korina screamed running around the scattered apartment looking for clean clothes and undies as she smelled each cloth in the the midst of clothes thrown all over.
  • She took a whiff of a shirt and threw it aside in horror.
  • "My apartment is a mess."
  • "Your life is a mess." Daniella said pointing out the obvious, "And don't forget I got a date scheduled for you tonight, don't you ditch."She warned.
  • "I told you, no more dates."
  • "What was that you said? you would love to go on a date, well that's splendid." Daniella said and ended the call immediately.
  • Korina groned, Oh shit.
  • She ran out of the bathroom after what you could barely call a shower and picked up her phone.
  • Her boss was calling.
  • "Hello ma'am." She whispered as she carefully tiptoed to the bathroom sink still wrapped in a towel, her phone in one hand and brush in the other.
  • "Korina Black." The woman said, "where are you?"She asked calmly.
  • Korina was shocked that her boss was speaking calmly, she expected to get screamed at.
  • "Korina, the wonderful people of New York take breakfast at diners as early as 7:00AM and you happen to work at a diner and it's 10:00AM, korina where are you?" Korina was getting scared that she was still talking calmly.
  • "See ma'am, I just had a little accident." She lied.
  • "You had an accident next to a running tap? I can hear running water and a brush, you wouldn't happen to be brushing, would you?"
  • Korina spat at the contents of her mouth and dropped the brush,"yes, no, yes."She wondered why she even bothered answering.
  • "KORINA BLACK! IF YOU DON'T GET YOURSELF HERE IN THE NEXT 3 MINUTES, I WILL FIRE YOU!"
  • Her boss screamed and she wondered where the old lady got her strength.
  • Now there was the scream, 3 minutes?She gulped.
  • "I gave you 3 minutes, you took 20." The angry woman behind the desk screamed.
  • Korina wasn't even paying attention to her boss, the only thought on her mind was the fact that she didn't get to eat the pancakes 'kelvin from the club'made.
  • "Are you even paying attention? young lady, what was the last thing I said?"
  • "Uhmmm, the last thing you said was 'what was the last thing I said' ". Korina replied and that was it, her boss snapped and threw the files she was holding at her.
  • "You are lucky, I haven't fired your sorry ass yet!" She screamed after korina as she ran out of the office.
  • Korina changed into her uniform, got behind the counter and took her position.
  • She looked at the long line of customers before her.
  • It was gonna be a long day.
