-ANASTASIA-
“Monroe the assignment is high profile so I want you to take utmost care and get as much as you can.” Mrs. V said making me wonder why she is interested in me all of a sudden. The woman sees no one other than Kelly and especially I am a ghost to her until I trouble her enough to notice me.
“You can trust me but what is the assignment.” I asked her curiously. Something like this could finally land me in the spot I have dreamt about my entire life. A full time reporter with at least two slots in a day.
“You have...” the ringing of her phone stopped her and she signaled me to wait while she talks. Who is calling her so much? I walked towards the window and stared at our new board waiting to be hung up, The Daily. We were really famous and almost very New Yorker reads them every morning. Like I said my dream is to one day host the news and not just stand behind the camera and write up questions. Which I which a Chicago girl who had ro

-ANASTASIA-Time for a Key update. I took my iPad out and removed the glove from one hand. After debating a bit I decided to read the comments first and then post my update.Marcus: Can I meet you if I come in Joe’s?Lora: When will you ever reveal your name, love?Tenzin: thank you for making my day better. I had a bad day at work but reading your post has made me feel different.Smiling, I looked up when my nose caught the scent of pizza, I knew then my dinner wasn’t going to be ramen anymore. I went inside and saw Joe, the owner running about between the tables, the place was packed. I waved at him which made him smile at me and wipe a sweat on his forehead.“Anastasia, darling I will have to say some thanks to Key, isn’t that what these young people call the writer?” I nodded smiling. I knew my message from morning would bring in peopl
The Inflammable Secret Last Chance
-NATHAN-“Nathan my baby boo, I missed you so much.” Lara whined coming forward and placed her plump lips on mine. Remind me again why did I invite her of all people?Yeah my parents will have my head on a platter for dinner if I didn’t.“Lara you have to pretend that you are my girlfriend in front of my parents, understood?”“But baby boo you are my boyfriend.” I cringed like every time when I hear her say baby boo. But right now I am not going to argue with her since I didn’t want her to ruin the evening. She can be the evil bitch and the whiny clingy ‘girlfriend’ at the same time. I looked at her outfit which was a blue sequenced dress with a plunging neckline, it was hot but not exactly appropriate for dinner. I looked at my watch, it is already 7 now implying there was no time for her to get changed. I had already skipped lunch so if I am anymore late mother will be saying a
The Inflammable Secret Oops Your SHOE!
-Nathan-His smirk gave me the motivation to not let my anger out.“You will hear nothing again pops and I will make sure of that.” I said purposefully avoiding the taking and giving part and gave Peter a sinister smile. “You can rest assured Peter I won’t be handing my burden to you any time soon. You already have a lot on your plate that was mine.” I said making him red as well as his flustered fiancé. It may have happened two years ago but it hurts just like that day.“Natty why don’t you have some steak, you can discuss the rest later.” My mother said trying to diffuse the tension in the room. I stood up and gave her a kiss on the cheek and nodded at my father before taking my coat off the rack.“Thank you mom but I don’t really have an appetite today. I am sure Peter and Jocelyn would appreciate the steak.” I looked at Lara who looked confused w
The Inflammable Secret Dread The Devil
Dread the Devil-Anastasia-“Leave me alone you asshole.” I said trying get out of his grip but boy was he strong I could not move an inch from his grip. I glanced at the pizzeria hoping if Joe or Liam will come to save me from this maniac. There was an itch down my abdomen when his hand snaked around my waist gripping my hips to stop me from moving. A pleasant but torturous itch.What is wrong with me?“Mind your tongue with me, woman or else you are going to see the worst of me.” So this is not the worst side yet? He seethed and to be honest I did get scared but this man is not going to put me down today. I am strong girl and I can handle myself.“Honey, you are the one hurting me so if I want I can call the cops on you and let’s see what will then happen to your rich ass.” I said in a sickeningly sweet voice. I could swear his grip tightened for a minute but then he loos
The Inflammable Secret Pop!
-ANASTASIA-Okay I am freaking out! This is my first chance to present an actual interview on the channel and it is with none other than my new so called enemy if I can call him that. I am so tensed that I didn’t even put a post in the blog and I have never missed a day before.I had to make sure I keep my feelings under check and not lose my temper. Now I have to look presentable, so…..After rampaging my little closet in the apartment I found what I was looking for, my cyan blue shirt. This is literally my lucky charm I bought it around 6 years ago when I was writing an exam and I became the topper that year. Superstition I know…. but oh well!Also on my internship day wearing this shirt I was awarded with the best day of my life which is why you can’t blame me for picking this old but beautiful and stylish shirt. The only problem was that it was a little tight in the chest area over the years but I am going to
The Inflammable Secret Interview Down the Drain
-ANASTASIA-I am totally done for! She will get another reason to spread rumors about me to her yappy little comrades in the break room. By the way I thought this female was on vacation? What is she doing here and that too when I finally get the chance to be on air.“That’s you right Anastasia?” she said being too sweet when I know the reality. She suspects something is wrong otherwise she wouldn’t even think of talking to me.I had to turn, no way out. Closing my eyes I turned around and waited for her to laugh or any other person in the elevator to but no one did. I opened my eyes but all I see was a mop of brown hair. I am sure my burnt red brows are making the perfect ninety degree on my forehead. It clicked the minute I turned but what confirmed it was the khaki covered back and the strong husky cologne that covered my nostrils.Aww he covered you to protect you from embarrassment.I guess I ha
The Inflammable Secret Not a Typical Night
-ANASTASIA-“You were not bad.” My eyes bulged out of my socket staring at the lady in front of me. Is she even being serious? The pout on Kelly’s face from the sofa confirmed that I am not dreaming.“Really?”She nodded before showing me some of the comments that said I did a pretty good job and that I had managed to unnerve the ever stoic CEO. Wow!“I might consider giving you a slot but no promises. Now don’t you have a shoot at the central park regarding the protest to save dogs tomorrow? Deal kindly with those girls.” I nodded and scampered off feeling all giddy.I sat back at my desk and sighed relieved. See my shirt is lucky. I went through the shoot from the other day and edited few mistakes all the while chewing on my hamburger. All of a sudden I lifted off my chair and spun around making me laugh and almost spit out the burger I just had.“Cain put me down.&rdqu
The Inflammable Secret First Ever
-Anastasia-Aghhh… my phone. My phone where is it? And god damn why is it ringing so loud? Groaning I removed the covers and rolled onto the other side of the bed and took the phone from behind my ass. Priya?Its only 5 yet; I still have two hours before I get up. I answered the call and stood up wearing my pajamas and switching off the radiator. “Hello?”“Oh Tash.” She whimpered on the other side. remember when I said it is going to be a long day? Here it is. “He doesn’t mean what he said last night. He calls it a slip up. can you believe it?”“I told you so.” I murmuring sipping my coffee and taking out my clothes for the day. “Sorry. But I warned you yesterday and you didn’t listen. So,how awkward is it?”“Very. I don’t know what I will tell ma and babuji. They were so excited.” I wanted to ask her why she told them so early but kept
