.The parade is known to be the largest Chinese New Year celebration in the nation with its beautiful costumes, stilt walkers, Chinese acrobatics, exploding firecrackers, and the extremely long Golden Dragon that is always featured at the end of the parade.One thing I love about my vivacious city is its diversity in cultures; it always has an event or something to celebrate.Once the parade ends, I decide to get to know Jacob.“So, Kade tells us you’re a surgical intern, that’s pretty awesome.Do you have a specialty?”“Actually, I do.I plan on getting into plastics.” He says smugly, but with a hint of a sexy Jamaican or English accent, it’s so faint, it’s hard to tell.“A plastic surgeon? Wow.That’s very impressive.Go, you! I’m sure you’ll do well.” I smile genuinely at him.“Kade tells me you’re a district attorney or something of that nature, I don’t quite recall.”“Oh, no.I work for the district attorney’s office, but as a victim advocate, not an attorney.They get paid the big bucks, I don’t.” I giggle.Jacob’s demeanor changes towards me as he analyzes me from head to toe with a condescending look.“Oh.So, you’re just some type of secretary or something with a refined title?”Oh, no this motherfucker didn’t.I have a Master’s degree from Berkeley, a job I’m very proud of, and he just wants to look down on me because he thinks he’s superior to me…someone…hold me back.I’m about to go ham on his bitch ass.Josh and I simultaneously stand to give this asshole a piece of our mind.Kade stops us and tells us to have a seat.Kade first laughs then addresses Jacob.“You arrogant, narcissistic bitch.Who the fuck do you think you are to speak to my sister that way? She’s an educated woman, with a career, and most important, has a heart of gold.You look down on her because you think you’re better? Motherfucker, you’ve never had to struggle.You’ve been spoon fed your entire life.A bad day for you is when your maid messes up your laundry.Don’t get me wrong, that’s great that you’ve had such a wonderful fuckin’ life, but when you look down on others because of their societal status or because of their position within an organization, that’s when you become inferior to them.I’ve known people who were dirt poor who had more dignity and respect than you.You may have money, but you can’t buy class.Now, be on your merry way before I make you my bitch.You’re lucky I’m in a good mood and I’m letting you off easy.”“Bye, Jacob!” I wave as he walks away.“I hope you’re able to surgically shut your mouth closed.” I laugh.Without wasting another thought on Jacob, we continue enjoying the festivities of the evening.The weekend comes and goes.Throughout most of the week, I don’t see any glimpses of Josh.With the development of his new projects, his free time has been scarce.He texts from time to time, but even the consistency of them has decreased.By Thursday, I find myself in a serious slump.I decide to leave work a few minutes early to bring Josh lunch and see how things have been with him lately.Out of all days, today’s rain is violent with forceful winds and hail.I decide to catch a cab to Josh’s office instead of driving there.When I arrive to the sky rise building, I pay and tip the driver generously to wait for me.He reluctantly agrees.Once I reach the fortieth floor soaking wet where his business, E-Con Solutions (ECS) is located, I immediately get struck by a bad case of anxiety.Why am I anxious? What’s with this bad feeling I have? Why am I so afraid of seeing him? We haven’t argued, he’s just been too busy at work to hang out.I’m being absurd.Fuckin’ stop being such a “Paranoid Patty,” Nina!As the elevator doors open, I recognize the pretty receptionist from the last time I went hunting for my man.She greets me with a warm smile.“Hi, I’m here to see Josh.I mean…Mr.Ryan.” I stumble with my words.From the right corner behind the receptionist, a tall brunette appears.“Mr.Ryan is unavailable at the moment, but I would be more than glad to relay a message to him.”I’m a bit awestruck when I see this girl.She’s extremely thin with exotic features and full lips.She hardly has tits or an ass, but her poise is elegant, her confidence alluring, and her sensuality…evident.The worst part? The bitch looks like a freaking super model! She’s absolutely breathtaking! Right away, I can’t stand her.There’s something about her that rubs me the wrong way.Whoa…wait a minute.Take it easy, hater.Why the fuck do you have an issue with this broad? She hasn’t done anything to you! You just met her! Are you thinking she’s the reason Josh has been avoiding you lately? Stop it, Drama! He.Loves.You!I continue to scrutinize her in my mind.“I’m sorry and you are?” Who the fuck are you, bitch? Answer me NOW!“I’m his new assistant.” She smiles smugly.“Jelly.”“Jelly?” Something your body lacks? Your name should be Sticks.But okay, if you say so.“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I’m Valentina Moretti.” I have a nice name not a stripper name like you.“His girlfriend.Well, I just stopped by to drop off some lunch.It’s nothing much just some chicken parmigiana and penne alla vodka with a Mediterranean salad I made.” I smile sweetly at her but my eyes have sliced her anorexic pretty ass in a hundred million ways already.She triumphantly smirks.“Oh, your goodies won’t be necessary.I already fed him [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
