《To New York》Chapter 2:"Oh Lord! Take Me Now"
Advertisement
I've been in New York for 3 days now and throughout this period of time I've went grocery shopping and familiarize myself with the city,New York is definitely beautiful.
Anyway, today is the day of the interview and I was a nervous wreck! What if they don't take me? What if they don't like my accent? Urggh! I pushed all my thoughts aside and got out the bed and walked into the bathroom, is it me or does the cold bathroom floor in the morning annoy everyone ? I honestly hate it. I brushed my teeth and took a shower, after I dried myself and put lotion on my body , after I was done I did my hair and makeup. I decided to go with a more natural look, I was going to an interview after all. I walked out the bathroom and walked to my wardrobe searching for something to wear,I decided on a simple black dress that reached below my knees and I paired that with a white blazer, white Chanel purse and white heels. I looked good, if I do say so myself.I still had an hour until the interview so I ate breakfast, after that I called my brother. His phone rang twice before I heard his voice through the phone
"Sister, kunjani?" (Sister, how are you?) he answered the phone with so much excitement.
"I'm good brother" I said chuckling at his excitement
"We miss you Nana, it feels like years since you left." he says sounding down.
"Maps its been a few weeks! But I miss you guys too and I promise to visit home every now and then whenever I get a chance" I said trying to uplift his mood.
"You better little girl, are you ready for the interview? Did you do research on the company like I told you to do so? Did you practice your posture last night?" he said throwing questions at me.
"I did brother! " I laughed at him "but I can't help but be nervous" I said while playing with my nails
"Don't be Nana, you'll do fine. Walk into that building and show them what the Gaffley's are made of" he said trying to ease the stress off me

"Thank you brother, I'll call you and tell you how the interview went when I get back home. I love you and say hey to my niece and nephew" I said grabbing my bag and keys heading towards the door
"Okay Nana, good luck and I love you too. Bye!" he then hung up
I locked my door and tossed the keys along with my phone in my purse. I took the stairs downstairs and walked out the building, I took a taxi to the company. I arrived in front of this huge building made out of glass, I looked up and examined how tall it was,the view must be sickening from the top floor. I walked inside the building and was greeted by men and women walking around, I guess it's a busy day. I walked to the reception table
"G-Good morning ma'am, I'm Amanda Gaffley and I am here for the interview" I said my voice shaking a little
"Oh! Go to the 15th floor and it should be evident as to where you should go next" she said with a bored tone
'bitch' I mumbled as I walked towards the elevator, I entered the elevator and pressed 15, I was the only one in the elevator. The ride felt like eternity before the doors opened, I walked out and headed towards the receptionist,a lady who looked at least 40 or forty something.
"Good morning, I'm here for an interview" I said with a calm voice
"You're early but let me escort you to the interview room dear " she said with a soft voice
She led me to what looked like a boardroom and sat me down.
"Would you like anything to drink Miss ? “ she asked
" No, thank you " I answered with a smile, she was so nice compared to that witch downstairs.
" Okay, The head of Department will be with you shortly " she said giving my shoulder a light squeeze
I offered her a smile. In less than 20 minutes, a woman and three men walked in and sat before me.I thought it'd be ONE PERSON !!

"Good morning and Sorry for keeping you waiting, let's start shall we?!" the woman said while looking at me with an emotionless face, I swallowed hard.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
YOUR GIRL IS EMPLOYEDDD!! the interview went good and I got the job and I start tomorrow, I'm literally so happy right now.My bag was about to get heavy.
I walked down the street to a small café I saw when I was on my way to Reigns Inc for the interview. I walked into the Cafe and instantly the smell of coffee beans hit my nostrils,Yum! the walls were green and black,some of the furniture was white, some of it was made out of wood, Cute! I walked to the nearest table and sat down, these heels were exhausting. I picked up the menu and examined it until a waiter came to take my order
"Good morning and welcome to Cloudy's! My name is Mia and I'll be your waiter for today,what can I get you ma'am?" she said with a professional tone
"Hey! Can I please get the double creamy Cappuccino and two slices of the chocolate chip cake,thank you" I said while looking between the waiter and the menu in my hands
"Coming right up!" she said and turned away, going to make my order, I guess
The people opposite me were looking at me crazy but I shrugged it off, it's probably because I was bare feet but isn't that normal? I guess not
The girl finally came with my order and I thanked her and devoured it, this is probably thee best cake I've ever tasted. That baker deserves a medal, a raise or som', since my Cappuccino came in a large cup, I couldn't even finish it so I brought it with me. I paid the bill and left a tip for Mia, wore my shoes and exited the booth I was sitting at. While doing so I accidentally collided with a hard chest causing my drink to spill on their white shirt. I instantly apologized
"Oh my God! I'm so so sorry, I should've been looking where I was going, forgive me, I'm sorry sir! Oh God" I apologize while trying to dry the person's shirt with my napkin
"STOP!" I felt a strong hand grab mine "You're making it worse! " the person spat with so much venom that my eyes instantly looked up
A tall, dark haired, handsome Greek God stood before me, he had thee most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. He had thick eyebrows, long beautiful lashes and the perfect pair of lips, Lawwwwd ! His sharp jaw was breath taking, he looked like heaven.
"Are you going to stand there and stare at me or will you move out of my way ?" his harsh voice brought me back to reality
"I'm sorry, I'll buy you... another shirt?" it sounded more of a question than an answer
He rolled his beautiful eyes and said "You wouldn't be able to afford it, this shirt is worth more than your pathetic life!" he barked at me , God forgive me for the curse words I'm about to spill on this gorgeous man.
"EXCUSE ME?! LOOK MISTER,NOW I'M SORRY FOR SPILLING MY DRINK ALL OVER YOUR SHIRT AND FOR THAT I'M GENUINELY SORRY BUT YOU NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND THROW INSULTS AT ME LIKE YOU FUCKEN KNOW ME WHEN YOU DON'T, YOU GOT ME ALL THE WAY MESSED UP MANE!" I barked back at him with my African accent coming out strong, at this point I was fuming , how dare he? Stupid handsome man! Got me all the way messed up, I grabbed my purse and pushed passed him, intentionally bumping his arm since I couldn't reach his shoulder due to him being a fricken giraffe.
I walked out the café with all eyes on me and got on a cab, what a way to end my day huh?!

He said softly. I examined them, seeing how some had some white parts and some were free of the black specks."I like these a lot." He smiled. He brought one to my lips and I bit into it. It was very different from the others. Much less sweet."These ones match your eyes, don't they? Your pretty green eyes." He said to me, wiping away more of my tears while I was too distracted by the explosion of flavour in my mouth.I rubbed my irritated eyes and he fed me another kiwi slice. It tasted good but it made my body shiver a little from the little sting it had in its taste."Is it too sour? Sorry about that." He chuckled, gently raking his fingers through my hair as I relaxed a little.I wanted more. I liked kiwi."You want more?" He asked me.I looked at the kiwi and then at him. He really, really wanted me to talk. He fed me the rest of the kiwi pieces even though he hadn't gotten an answer from me and then he smiled."All done." He said to me, brushing my hair away from my face with a smile.
