Kat Call

  Bang! Bang! Bang! I wake up to a loud thumping on my front door. I crack open an eye, glancing at the clock: 7:30AM. Maybe if I ignore them, they'll go away. I think and cover my head with the pillow. Bang! Bang! Bang! "Mr. Romano!" A nasally voice calls. I groan, and tear out of bed ready to slam the door in the nose of whatever piece of shit thinks that it is okay to wake someone up at seven thirty on a Saturday. I storm across the living room tense, and practically tear open the door to find a scrawny man with blonde hair and a portfolio standing in front of me. Before I even get one word out, he strolls right inside, sidestepping me through the doorframe. My mouth gapes open, completely at a loss for words as this stranger steps stiffly

  I study my reflection in the mirror: casual black suit pants and a white button-up, jacket hanging over my shoulder. It might be a little over the top for a downtown club, but this is for business after all. I slip on a gold watch that stands out in contrast against the black. I spritz on some light cologne and fix my cuffs. Nine o'clock. I should probably head out in a minute. I sigh at this bullshit of a test my father decided to give me, rubbing a hand down my face. I lock up and slip behind the wheel of my car. The club is about a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and I make the whole trip in silence contemplating what tonight might bring. I pull my car up to the curb outside of the new, hot club. Reluctantly, I turn off the ignition and step out, immediately hearing the club before I see it. I gently shut the doo

The ride is agonizingly slow as we all sit in silence. My phone buzzes in my lap; the sound shrill in the quiet vehicle. I turn the screen from my thighs to find Audrey’s name blinking with a text. Sparing a side glance toward Dan, I find his eyes dutifully on the road, but I angle the phone away anyway, so he can't see.Audrey: So? What did you decide?Kat: You gave me tequila, I'm not sure I could not if I wanted to. Kat: which I totally do Kat: And he is incredibly sexyKat: Are you sure you're okay with this?Audrey: YES BABE! I want all the details in the morning!Audrey: On second thought, not sure I want to hear about Daniel in bed …. I chuckle, and Dan finally bre

 I wake up energized, minutes before my alarm is set to ring. I have a big interview with the CEO of a major corporation today. This interview is big; like potential promotion big. No one has ever managed a true interview with the head boss of Brinewick Corp. In truth, I have been burnt out with this job; a job that was what I thought I wanted, but turned out to be more tedious tasks and unsatisfying workloads. But this job, this interview, is a once-in-a-career opportunity that I am finally excited for. I get ready quickly, washing and curling and swiping on makeup. I give myself an assessing once-over at my reflection in the mirror. I went with black dress pants that synch around my waist, and cling to my legs enough to show the definition, but without being indecent for work. A long, bell-sleeved red blouse dips just low enough to show off the very upper swell of my breast, with my push up bra keeping the girls tame under the v-
