(All men suck!!)

‘All men suck!', Kathleen could feel the tears brewing in her eyes as she plopped down on Gloria's couch, sipping a cup of coffee as she was ready to tell her best friend how embarrassing her interview went.

Gloria sighed deeply, ‘I can't believe he lied to you like that'.

’Ohh he didn't just lie', Kathleen hissed, ‘He acted like he didn't even know me. Like I was charmed by this man Lorie, for the first time since a few hours ago I had a glimmer of hope....only for me to be abandoned at an hotel with two hundred bucks like I'm some cheap hooker'.

She was bitter, she was bitter and angry to the point where she felt like she would start crying. For the first time in her life someone made her feel so cheap that it hurt her ego, he stared right into her eyes and denied ever knowing her even after making her feel like she was special the night before—but who was she kidding anyway? a man like Grayson Hunter didn't go for the likes of her....poor and in debt.

Gloria could sense the pain in her best friend's demeanor and placed a arm over her shoulder, ‘Well you got the job didn't you?? that's great news at least'.

‘You're right', Kathleen grimaced, ‘For a hundred bucks an hour I am willing to do anything. Even if it means being the personal assistant to Mathew Knowles's alter ego....God I hate him so much already'.

‘Cheers to hellish bosses I guess'. Gloria raised a toast with her coffee mug and the two friends clinked, celebrating their misery.

Kathleen sighed again after they went mute for a minute, ‘Why did it have to be him though? I could've lived knowing he was just a one night stand and now he's my boss'.

‘All men suck Kathy', Gloria murmured, ‘It's the unspoken universal fact of life'.

‘Yeah you're right', Kathleen nodded, ‘All men do suck'

***********

Two days later and Kathleen is awoken by the blaring sound of her alarm which leaves her in a frenzy. Promising herself to never go drinking and playing UNO with the new Mexican family who just moved in, she dragged herself off bed and reluctantly went into her cubicle of a bathroom which wasn't big enough to fit two people.

A depressing fart left her as she looked down at the bathroom sink, sighing as Mr Garrison cut out her water again, she only paid half of the rent all thanks to Gloria who was willing to give her a loan and that didn't include water privileges according to him.

Thankfully she had a bottle of water which was enough to brush her teeth but not enough to take a shower, Nana willow and Emily were both out of town and she couldn't bother her new neighbors with borrowing their shower. So she did what every working low income New Yorker would do.....clean her body with loads and loads of sanitary baby wipes until she was able to take a shower at Gloria's.

‘Shit!'. She cried out seeing she had only thirty minutes left before it was 7am and knowing her new boss...he didn't tolerate tardiness.

The subway to the office was only a ten minute ride which meant she only had five minutes to pick out an outfit, five minutes to walk to the station and get on the train and an extra ten minutes to spare. You can do this Katherine, patting her shoulder with reassurance and in two minutes she was able to pick out a black pencil skirt and a green blouse with ballerina flats to go with it.

Her makeup was subtle, carefully leaving out her red lipstick as she didn't want to come off as too flirty towards her new boss, she let her hair loose but also keeping a scrunchie in her back just in case it got in the way. She put on her favorite gold-studded earrings, it wasn't real gold of course but it was a very good knockoff that could be perceived as the real deal.

One look at the mirror and she was satisfied with her look, she put on a plastered smile which was the motto of every personal assistant, ‘Always put on a happy face even when being yelled at'. She looked beautiful, she knew she was as she could feel some heads turning as she walked quickly to the station.....she might be poor but she knew how to put on a look.

The train was packed on a Monday morning as usual and she had to withstand standing next to a marijuana addict who smelled like patchouli oil and sewer rats, making passes at her and the unbelievable story of how he was once Stevie wonder's manager. She rolled her eyes and forced a laugh when he cracked a joke, one wrong move and she could be assaulted—one of the perks of being a single woman in one of the biggest cities in the world.

She got to her stop and walked out immediately, glancing backwards carefully to see if she was being followed, luckily she was not and the office was just a minute walk away. She got to the building and took a deep breath, closing her eyes and hoping she was early.

‘Don't worry he doesn't get to work until 7:30'. She heard a familiar voice from behind her and turned around. It was the same man who gave her tips but for some reason she couldn't remember his name.

‘Oh hi uhhhh—'

‘Jacob Hempstead'.

‘Oh yeah that's your name', she scratched the back of her hair feeling embarrassed, ‘Sorry I was just in a rush the last time we met'.

He shrugged, ‘It's totally fine. Seeing how you're here early....my tips worked didn't they?'.

She chuckled, ‘I owe you one Jac.....you're okay if I call you Jac right???'.

‘A nickname from a pretty lady? I'll be too stupid to pass on that'. He responded and they both laughed before an awkward sense of silence fell between the both of them.

Kathleen paused her lips as she had somewhere to be but also didn't want to sound rude so she cleared her throat, ‘Uhhhh I guess I'll see you later then Jac??'.

‘Yeah'. He nodded, pursing his lips as she walked up the stairs to the main door while he remained right on the spot still captivated as to why a beautiful woman like her was so polite to him. Women like Kathleen Turner who knew they were beautiful never looked in his direction but she....she was special.

    (The Final End)Two weeks later and Kathleen could be seen at the block's cookout organized by everyone in the apartment building to celebrate Nana Willow's birthday, she was ill and in her final days, and instead of spending it in the hospital she wanted to be around the people she loved and cared about.Plates started to pass around until it got to her, the smell of the best cheese steak sandwich from Devante's wafted into her nostrils and she could feel her mouth water just looking at it. Next to her sat Joana and her adorable twelve year old, Wallace was trying to find an excuse to play with the other kids whilst his mother was busy getting enamoured by Bobo, the dog walker from next block.‘So how's life treating you huh?', Mr Garrison asked as he took a seat next to her, ‘You know we miss you around here'.Her brows arched, ‘Come on...almost a year ago you wanted to throw me out on the streets. Don't play favors now that I've leased my apartment now'.‘Well that friend of yours

    (Stay away from my son part 2)‘No??'‘No'‘What do you mean No?!'.Kathleen sighed deeply, this was like a movie, ‘Look here Mrs Hunter—I am not what you think I am, a golddigger. I love Grayson and considering how he was the one who chased me until I became his girlfriend I think you have an idea on what it is'.Evangeline pursed her lips as she placed a blank cheque on the table, she slid it over to Kathleen's side of the table, ‘That's a blank cheque right there.... anything you need... whatever you want...it could be a million dollars, name your price. Name your price and I'll give you what it takes just to stay away from my son'.Kathleen stared down at the cheque feeling almost insulted, the least Evangeline could do was be original and try something else that wasn't from the obvious plot of a movie, she chuckled softly, ‘You know this would've been the offer of a lifetime but why would I choose to take what you're offering, knowing fully well that your son can give me double?'

    (Stay away from my son)Grayson was trying to get rid of his house hunger by having almost a gallon of fruit loops and milk, he was tired and now unemployed. It felt strange having breakfast all by himself by this time of the day, when he heard someone stomping towards him from behind and turned around to Kathleen, she wasn't happy, he smiled.‘Morning babe'.‘You told me everything's okay?!!'. She cried out.He shrugged, ‘Everything is okay. You're back from work early'.She winced, ‘Cut the crap Gray! Of course I'm back from work early cause I fucking got fired! I got a promotion and in a week I loose my fucking job all because my boyfriend couldn't give me a heads up about him losing his position!'.Her eyes were turning red by the minute, he pursed his lips losing his appetite immediately as his cereal turned soggy, ‘I'm sorry and yes—i stepped down as CEO'She gasped, 'Why would you do that?! I thought you loved your job more than anything Gray....more than me!'.He frowned deepl

    (The New CEO)November 31st, 10pm to be exact, Grayson Hunter stepped down from his position as the CEO of Hunter's Group. He worked half of his life to be here, missed out on the fun of being a young man, never spent Christmas or his birthday with anyone, almost developed a eating disorder with his constant lack of a balance meal and all for what? all for his father to throw it away with some stupid marriage proposal.He didn't care, even if he worked his butt off to become the CEO he didn't care and he would do the same all over again—throw it all away if it meant he couldn't be with Kathleen. He was successful enough on his own, he had his own money which meant he didn't need his father's inheritance, he was rich enough to take care of himself and take care of his woman.He wasn't leaving Kathleen for anything, not even the job he loved most. A sniffle escaped him as he could feel the tears brimming in his eyes, ‘Take me somewhere else'. He instructed the driver in a icy tone.‘Sir

    (Don't marry your assistant)It took a lot of contemplation but with enough pressure from Kathleen he finally managed to get into the car, dressed in a simple royal blue shirt with two buttons down and casual pants. Royal blue was his mother's least favorite color, she usually said the color reminded her of commoners in the most disdainfully way possible and he loved to piss her off.The drive lasted an hour before he got to his father's mansion. The Hunter family house, a sigh left his lips as he got out of the car, standing in front of the white mansion and feeling a dreaded sense of loneliness just looking at it. He hadn't been here in almost two years, he hated it, the two pillars that held the porch together up to the main door, the long bushes of carnellas that led up to the backyard which he was mildly allergic to but no one cared—he hated every single one of it, the stupid bright chandelier that once fell on his leg and his father had to tell him to act like a man and stop wai

    (Wallace)Grayson frowned deeply seeing the list of potential candidates for the position of his new assistant—Incompetent they all were, unimpressive and most of all they weren't Kathleen. She'd done such a good job being his assistant that a replacement just felt like a let down, trying to fill up a void space.He flipped through the pages of each personal information when Theresa suddenly walked into his office with a stack of files, placing it on his table even though he didn't instruct her to. His brows arched as he looked up at her, ‘Pardon??'.‘These are the breakdowns you asked for sir'. She muttered in the most stoic way possible that it almost felt like a mocking sarcasm, ‘Unfortunately the assistant supervisor isn't here to bring these herself'.It subtly sounded like she was trying to insult his work ethic, and he knew Kathleen wasn't one to slack on the job, ‘It isn't the assistant's job. It's your job'.‘Sorry sir'. She nodded.He was already annoyed, he hated the blatan
