My Man Series Chapter 13
It had been almost a week since I moved here, three days, since I had gone over to Anna's parent's house to eat tacos. She and I have grown a bit close the last few days. She works as a secretary for some rich man.I can't remember his name right currently, but her hours are sometimes long. I have been trying to get my sleep schedule straight before I start my new job, which is tomorrow morning. I'm excited and I'm nervous. Anna and I talk on the phone every night for about an hour. Telling each other stories of our childhood. She had begged me to go out to the Sleepy Sheep after devouring those Tacos, but after dealing with her brother and what he had said, I wasn't exactly in the mood to party. After eating I thanked Helen and Glenn, which I learned was Anna and Cedric's dad's name. They were extremely nice, and both told me I was invited over anytime. Nothing suspicious has happened the past several days, leading me to conclude that maybe Cedric was right. Possibly nobody broke

Once I put my purse and lunch up, I head towards the call center room, gently pushed the door open and smiled when I saw four heads turning my way.“Hey babe, you must be Avery.” Says a woman a little older than me.Babe?“Um-” I started to say, but cut myself off because I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to add. I have never been called babe, expect from my cheating ex. “Yeah” “Welcome to the center. I'm Megan. The other two ladies and, of course, the gentlemen are Rick, Sheila, and Wanda.” Megan explained as she pointed to each one while saying their names.“Nice to meet you all.” I replied, smiled and headed towards the only empty desk left in the room.It's a pleasant room, not too big. It has five computer system setups and not much space left for another one. I won't what will happen with Sean when he passes the test. Will Mr. Whitlock have another desk moved in somewhere?“Shoo. I'm pleased to meet you, Avery. We have been waiting for someone to fill that chair up for almo

The past two days went by slowly. I woke up, fixed me breakfast, and packed a lunch because I learned that I was unable to leave the building for lunchtime. We only had five 911 operators, and Mr. Whitlock wanted to make sure we were all available to deal with the phones if they rang. He said three of us can't go to lunch and leave the other two to answer five phones and vice versa. I understand completely, so I didn't mind bringing my lunch. Though, I would rather not have sandwiches every day. I need to get used to my new schedule. I have been getting home around six pm. after being at work since earlier that morning.Fast food saves time and lives.Not really.My booty and hips don't agree.But who cares?When you work late and don't have time to take anything out to thaw for supper, it does indeed save my life.I had gotten to know my coworkers a little better throughout the past few days. Wanda has one daughter who's in kindergarten and is divorced. He didn't want to work, so

As soon as I slid into Anna's car, I heard her cat calling. I didn't even close the door, yet before she hyped me up.“Look at you! You look hot!” She screeched playfully.So does she.She is wearing a black dress, strapless, with will lace designs going across in several spots. “Look who's talking.” I giggled and closed the door.“You ready to hit it?” She asked as she put the car in drive and pulled out of my driveway. Of course, I'm reading to hit it. I didn't get this dressed up for anything. Sheesh.Therefore, I inform her I am indeed ready to hit it.“Hell yeah” I mimicked her screech of excitement, causing her to laugh.“You will love my brother's friends. They are cool. They treat me like a child” She stops to roll her eyes before adding, “but they still cool”“No offense, but I'd rather not come into contact with your brother on my first night out.” I groaned and glanced pitiful as I looked over at her. “He will be there. They hang there every Friday night. It's a standing

The next few hours, Anna and I were both much drunker than we intended to get. She carried on ordering drinks, and I continued on drinking them. It's not her fault, though. I know when to stop, I just chose not to. Instead, I kept on drinking, dancing and even learned to twerk.After Anna and I watched Cedric and his partner and also best friend Lucas hog the pool table for thirty minutes, Anna practically laid herself across the pool table, demanding that it was our turn. Cedric and Lucas either were done playing or just didn't want to deal with her tantrum, but they both handed us their cue sticks and stepped back. We were horrible at it. We kept knocking the balls so hard with the pool stick that they ended up flying off the table and onto the floor with loud bangs. One even hit the wall. My fault. I never played before. I tried telling her I never played before and wouldn't be good at it, but she didn't want to hear it. She still wanted to play and taunted that she could beat

We have been sitting in silence for several minutes. His truck smells like him, musk, and leather. When I say musk, I don't mean the stinky kind; I mean the manly mankind that makes your head spin when it hits your nose. I decided I'm tired of sitting and silence and bringing a hand to the radio, turning it on. The sound of a rock beat suddenly hits my ears, and before I can even listen to five seconds of the song, he turns it off.“Why did you do that?” I swung my gaze toward him, frowned, and demanded an explanation. It was better than sitting in silence, for fuck's sake.“I don't want it on.” He says.That's it?He doesn't want it on, so it can't be on?Ugh, fine. Damn, my legs are hurting from all that dancing. I take my shoes off and raise them so that they settle on top of the dash. They just need to be straightened out.“Feet off.” He growls.Jeez. His in a mood.“What's up your ass?” I grunted and crossed my arms.“I don't like feet on my dash.” “You need to relax,” I advis

Avery's P.O.VMy phone alarm wakes me up the next morning. It pulls me out of my dream. I was little, with my parents on a vacation. It was just a simple vacation. We had gone to the beach, but those brief memories are what I hold close to my heart.I stretch out my arms and yawn before reaching over to my nightstand and grabbing my phone to check the time. Nine am. That's not too bad. I figured I'd sleep later than that. I scroll through my notifications and see that Anna's texted me three times. Oops.Anna - You made it home?Anna – If you don't text me, I'm going to call my brother. Did he piss you off? Whatever he did, it's not my fault Aves.Anna – You better call me when you wake up. I'm worried.Crap. Now I feel bad. I was supposed to message her when I made it back home, but dealing with Cedric took all my energy out, and oh shit. I completely forgot that he slept over last night. I wonder if he is still here. I quickly type Anna a message as I climb out the bed.Me – I'm sor

A few minutes later, after Cedric finished the dishes, he told me that he needed to head home to shower and that he would see me later on at his parent's house. Now I'm once again alone in my home, sipping on a delicious cup of Carmel coffee and thinking about that missing woman. Is that what could have happened to me? Now I'm starting to believe what I had originally thought. Someone broke in. That someone could have hurt me or kidnapped me like that poor lady. If I'm being honest with myself, I am kind of scared to sleep alone now. But I'm a big girl. I'll make sure I secured all my windows and doors before heading to bed. I'll keep my bedroom door locked. That will give me a little time to at least wake up and run into my bathroom again.I just hoped it worked a second time if anything happened again. Maybe I was wrong about Cedric. Might not be such an asshole as I originally thought. He didn't have to sleep over last night. He could have dropped me off and left me alone, but h
