"I was invited for the test phase!!!" I exclaim as I jump up and down. I woke up early, brushed my teeth and my hair to look presentable at least. After all, i was on a mission to make him fall in love with me. Also I had to change my tampon from last night. Even if I wanted to have a bath with him. I couldn't because of the period.
I sat down at his desk, checking to see if I got a mail, and I did. I squealed so loud whilst jumping up and down.
"I finally got past the resumé submission phase!!"
He stirred in his sleep, before opening his eyes.
"Mimosa?" His morning voice sounded even more sexy.
I ran to his side on the bed.
"Good morning sexy." I greet as I bite my lip. I can't believe this, I was sitting right next to this unbelievably hot guy that looked like he dove straight at me from a magazine.
"Morning Mimosa. Why did you get out of bed? I wanted to wake up next to you." He kissed my face as he whined.
I giggle like a child.
"I wanted to change." I tell him.
"I really did want to wake up next to you."
"Then, you'll wake up next to me till whenever I leave here."
"I don't want you to leave ever." He was nuzzling my neck.
My heart spiked a little, in hopes that he wanted me to stay with him because he loved me. Silly of me to think that, no?
"Unfortunately I do have to leave. I got invited for the testing phase."
He paused his kissing.
"I always knew you would. Congratulations!"
I smile brightly at him.
"I haven't gotten the job yet, plus it is because of you I passed this stage."
"Nah, it's all you. I only arranged it well."
I giggle again.
"We should celebrate. Call your friends."
I raise my brows,
"It's not even the job. It's just the test phase."
"And have you gotten past the resumé submission stage before?"
I laugh.
"No."
"Reason to celebrate, plus, the job is all yours. Have you seen what you create? The creative department don't know what they have been missing all these while."
I smile at him gratefully.
"Thank you. But is there a chance we could do the celebration by ourselves?"
"Why? You want to eat me up?"
I laugh. I want to kiss him senseless.
"Invite your friends, it's a celebration. They need to know that you're capable of doing this, if they were the shoulders you cried on when you didn't get in, why can't they be the shoulders you celebrate with?"
He swung his legs out of the bed. He started to stretch.
"Okay, I'll invite them now. Will you invite Jonathan, Clarissa and Cam?"
I don't want Cam to come but he is his best friend, I had to invite him.
"It's your thing. You invite who you want to."
"You can invite them. But it will be really casual."
He raised his brows at me as he did jumping jacks.
"What do you mean casual?"
"I mean, it should be very chill, no suit or tux business, only me gets to see you in that."
He laughed so loud I pitied his vocals.
"Okay mimosa, I hear you. Suits are just for you. I'll be sure to relay the information to them as well."
I nod in approval as I go to pick up my phone from the table.
I dialed Mariana and she picked up on the first ring.
"You wouldn't believe who got past the submission phase."
"You are not kidding."
"No I'm not."
We squealed I'm unison. This was a dream come true for both of us, she knows as well as I do that I could get us out of that dingy apartment with one salary from the creative department. Her salary would be for upkeep and everything else.
It was something we always dreamed of while looking at the stars and waiting on a wishing star.
"This is huge." She says while panting. It was obvious she was jumping.
"I know, Kenny wants us to celebrate it."
"It is totally worth celebrating. You have been waiting for this forever."
"Yeah, he is inviting you guys, my friends and his, we will be celebrating it. Give me a minute."
I place the call on mute and turn to face him.
" It's today right?"
He was typing away on his phone, I was certain he was texting them, I had a feeling they weren't the calling, squealing type.
"Yes, this evening. I was thinking we do barbecue here. Everyone gathers downstairs and we grill meat to eat."
"That's a very swell idea."
He chuckled.
"Swell idea? What are we? In the 1920's?"
I laugh as I unmute the call.
"It's a barbecue. We will be doing it here at the house."
"At his house? His rich big ass mansion?"
I laugh at her enthusiasm.
"Yes, his huge ass mansion."
"I cannot believe this, let me go tell the others, what time should we get there? Heck, we don't even know the place."
"I'll come get you, just be ready by five ish."
"You got it! I'll be drinking expensive booze today!" She welped before hanging up.
I laugh cheekily.
Life was just beginning to favor me. Finally.
"I invited everyone. They'll be here."
"Me too, everyone is coming."
I can't say I'm not disappointed at the fact that Cam will be there. I don't want to face him any time soon. It was going to be so awkward.
"The thing is, I don't have anything we can use for the barbecue. Not even the grill."
He looked pained.
"You never did a barbecue before?"
He shook his head no.
I raise a brow at him.
"Then why suggest the barbecue?"
"Because it sounded nice?"
I start laughing, he has a look of a child on his face.
"We can go get everything ready. We can do it."
I nod.
"Okay, go take a shower so we can head out."
He nods and kissed my forehead before leaving.
I find we have settled into a boyfriend and girlfriend routine. Whether he knew it or not. I loved it.
