Nova
Monday mornings are so annoying, I have to rush down to work, get everything ready for all of this crazy and rude clients.
The most annoying ones are the men, always making advances at me or staring at me like I am some piece of meat.
I looked in my full sized mirror not to confirm if I am properly dressed but to admire my beauty.
Funny you might think, but I am not the type of woman who depended on other people's approval, I am confident in myself.
It is all of God's fault. Looking up with my hand clasped together over my face I said.
“Forgive me God for you are always right” but it is your fault for making me this beautiful and attractive.
Standing 5.8 ft is a dream for a whole of ladies, in addition to that, I have an hour glass shape, I guess I can't really blame these men if they get attracted to me.
Looking perfect enough in my black formal trousers and white tight shirt, I pulled my hair to a pony tail, slid on my pair of nude heels and a small black bag, I felt ready.
I picked up my car key from my makeup table and left the room, on the dinning table were two toasts I made some minutes ago before deciding to complete my dressing.
I went straight to the kitchen, picked a mug and poured myself some hot coffee, came back to grab my toast and headed out, with a cup of coffee in one hand, my bag hanging towards the elbow of my other hand which was also holding my toast.
My neighbor was outside her house doing some gardening, she gave a very cheerful wave, which I couldn't return due to the state of my hands.
“Morning darling, have I nice day” I yelled out to her with a wide grin, getting a smile from her.
“Sure, you too” she replied and I went on to my car, wondering how I will open it? It's a regular routine, I placed my coffee mug right on top of my car, opened the car door, dropped my bag on the passenger side, picked my coffee and off I go. I could see my neighbor shake her head.
The funniest thing is that, I don't know her name, I moved in here two years ago, and she had always been here but not once did we get into any conversation longer than that which we had this morning, I never had time!
Work was the same, I walked in with so much confidence and flair.
“Good morning ma'am” I was greeted here and there which I replied with a nod.
I am just the company's mouthpiece, you can call it that. My job is to recruit new models and also give them interviews which will be given out to Vogue.
Publicity is in my hands, reputation is in my hands, sometimes we sign contracts with already big and famous models or stars, it all depend on me. I am the backbone of this company.
I took a deep breath before turning the doorknob and oh, I had my breakfast on the way. Opening the office door which I knew will reveal my always gorgeous boss.
“Good morning sir” I greeted him with a wide smile which he returned.
“Morning darling, how was your night?
“Wonderful, yours?” I replied while heading over to his table and got myself seated on it, right in front of him.
“Could have been amazing with a certain someone, when did you start declining me Nova” I could sense the hint of pain in his voice, he is just not getting this right, fine we act like a couple, but we are not, to be honest he is just someone who relieves me of stress!
Love is not meant for me!
“You know how it ends up Drey, we will end up coming late to work” I whined.
“Who will complain?” He teased.
“My boss” I replied him, leaving a light kiss on his lips, maybe it was not meant to be a light one but someone just had to cough in the background.
Way to ruin moments, I quickly got off the office table only to meet the shock of my life!
Guess who!
NovaFor years, I had imagined us meeting again but not in this manner or this setting.I had imagined we will meet in a cafe and I will pretend not to know him, we might meet in a company of my own, and he will walk in needing my help but I will totally deny it.Not in my wildest imagination did I ever think he will be walking into my boss' office, staring at me with judgemental eyes.I knew him so well, the thoughts running through his head, he must think of me as wayward and disgusting, that look which I know so well, the way he stares at Tara then whenever she clings to him.“Jordan Myers, it's nice to see you” Drey said smiling widely at him but Jordan's eyes was stuck on me, I could not help but wonder what the hell he was doing here.Drey's eyes moved from Jordan to me,
JordanWalking into the director's office as I was told, I never expected to see what I saw or who I saw, I knew she worked here but not in my wildest dreams did I ever think she will be having an affair with her boss.Nova is a lady with more pride than to stoop so low, maybe they have some sort of serious relationship, I thought but it just couldn't be, Nova is mine and mine only.I know I did her wrong but when I said I love her, I meant it. Maybe I should not have gone to that crazy party, maybe I should have chosen my friends wisely as Nova would always advice but no, I did the exact opposite and started regretting after.College was wild, my roommates were seniors and they were crazy ones, who was there to stop me though? Dad stopped caring a few months before I resumed college and mom? She wasn't any better, moving from one man to another, sleeping wit
NovaWe stood in my office staring at each other like it was a staring contest, I could not help but admire what an handsome man he had become, not that he was not handsome back then but the matured look made him even more handsome."Mr Jordan Myers" I said not breaking eye contact."Miss Nova Lionel" he replied still holding my gaze, this was stupid I thought as I averted my eyes from his or maybe I just could not bear the emotions flooding through me."I knew you will give up eventually" he told me laughing, I know how crazy he can be but I am also the same girl I used to be, even better!"That is because I don't have time to waste, now may I ask you, why do you want to work for us" I replied in an overly professional tone, he faked a
NovaJust like every morning, I made myself breakfast and went back upstairs to get myself ready for work, today, in a black and white checkered short skirt and jacket with a black top beneath.I grabbed my car keys on my make-up table and went downstairs to grab my pancakes in a small plate and made myself a cup of coffee, then made my way to my car. My neighbor was out again like every day, we did the good morning waves and I got into my car, straight to work.Well, straight to work was what I thought until this strange number called me. It took a little while to decide if I should pick up the call or not but at the end, I did.“Nova Lionel speaking, who am I unto?”“Jordan Myers, good morning to you to” I me
JordanI wanted to do this shoot and get over with, especially when I will have to team up with Shem. When I got here yesterday, I saw her insulting workers in here and later on she was flirting with me making me dislike her immediately.She seem to be a new recruit and she was already all over the place, when she called this morning that she wouldn't be able to make it for the shoot, I was so glad.Ramos was pissed when he heard that she cancelled, everything was arranged in a rush and now she cancelled, it only mean all these stress will be gone through again just because of her."This is completely messed up, I can't work with lackadaisical people like this" Ramos lamented, he was visibly stressed. Then an idea popped into my head."I
NovaIt was so annoying having to do this, Jordan is just going to make me go crazy but do I have a choice? That is what you get from sleeping with the boss."Come over Ms. Lionel" Gabby, the make-up artist called me over for what I know will end up as hours of make-up.I went over regardless, it is not like I have a choice, do I? Well.... Now that I think of it, I do."Can you pleaseg me few minutes?" I pleaded with Gabby and went over to speak with Drey who was busy talking to someone over the phone."Can I call you later?" He asked whoever it was he was speaking with and ended the call. He raised his head up to stare at me, as he was lower than I am in his seated position.His wi
NovaWhere were we last time? Oh, I told you about Tony, next was Carrick, he really did like me and my friends, especially Honey thought he was "The One".Well, he was the kind of guy any lady wants, caring, loving, romantic, handsome, god-fearing, yeah he was a total package but he happened not to be in love with me but obsessed.I got some guys to scare him, his mother had to no choice than to move out of town just to ensure her son was safe. So sad.Felix was next, Miley thought he was so badass."Bad boys are the best" She told me, well until he cheats on you with the bitch Tara.Finally Jordan, the topic for our Girls night today.
NovaI was pacing back and forth in my living room, Trish was seated cuddling my teddy, fool! Miley on the other hand was seated next to Honey.We just couldn't believe her mom was marrying Samuel. Tara will feel so high, only heaven knows what she will make out this."This can't happen" Honey almost cried, I know how much she hates these weddings."It won't" Miley assured her, my whole head on the other hand was a total mess thinking about how to put an end to this craziness."Maybe you should just tell her you don't want it" Trish told her probably without thinking, how would she expect Honey walking up to her mom only to tell her she does not want her to marry who she wants to marry.Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with Trish, she never even knows what to say at anytime.
