Are You Working Now Novels & Stories

The waiter writes that down and walks away. “A cake qha? You don't eat, ntombi ka Bangizwe.” She say and Tinyeleti stares at me. I have donuts back at work. I didn't eat all of them. I just wanted to go out. “You and Bangizwe are dating? No wonder the car. Congratulations.” You could have said the same thing when I got a job but it's in the past. I live in the present sana. “We are not dating.” I insist.

now! Finally: Uh, this might seem too eager, but I don’t care. I am free tonight. I work a 24 tomorrow, so this is my last chance for a few days. I don’t mean to be rude, asking you on short notice, but...please tell me you’re free tonight.

"Anne, are you busy? There's something that I need to tell you." Anne was working in front of her desk at the time and said, "I'm free now. What's wrong?"

"What kind of job is that? How long have you been working there? Who's your boss? Do they treat you well?" I laughed heartily. "Ma, calm down. I'm working as a personal nanny right now, and I'm fine. In fact, I can say that my current work is better than my previous one." "You're not only saying that to keep me at ease, aren't you?" "I'm telling the truth, Ma, so you should stop worrying about me." She lets out a sigh. "Fine. I trust your decision." We talked for a while before I decided to hang up the call. It's Saturday, and that means Greyson has no school, but I still have a job to do.

What are you doing now? Ben:I’m in a meeting. Me:And you’re texting me? Ben:I can’t focus on anything.I can’t wait for the day to end.I miss you.I want to see you. Me:It’s just a few hours left and then we’ll see each other again. Ben:I can’t wait that long.Can I come by now?I could hang out with you in your office. I giggled. I liked the sound of that but I really had to work. Me:It’s not my company,Ben.And I won’t be able to do any work with you here.

I might have a new job there. I finished all my work yesterday. So maybe now, I've been given something to do because I'm vacant.

I sighed frustratedly, my shoulders slumping. "I'd get you after pills, don't worry. Don't beat yourself up, okay? These things happen, okay?! You are an adult! Also, don't you have to go to work today?" Work? Work! I had completely forgotten that I had to work. Why today of all days!?

Then tried again. "I... I can’t. Not tonight." His smile faltered. Not completely. Just slightly. Enough for me to see it. "Work?" I nodded slowly. "Yeah. I have to stay here since my boss isn't finished with his work. I’ll probably be leaving late." He scratched the back of his neck, eyes dropping for just a moment. "Ah, I get it. Mr. Garcia is a workaholic." I didn’t reply. Matt cleared his throat and then smiled again, this time a bit more forced. "Since you're busy today, tomorrow night, then?"

Instead, it was a text from Jackson. Jackson: Great seeing you tonight. Dinner next week? Friday or Sunday work? A tiny voice in my head that sounded suspiciously like Hazel whispered, "Say yes, you workaholic!" But another voice, the practical, contract-bound one, reminded me of my complicated situation. I typed out a noncommittal response. Me: It was nice catching up! Let me check my schedule and get back to you. Things are pretty hectic with work right now. His reply came almost immediately.

“I was going to go back to bed. You should too. You look tired.” “I’m all right. Do you want eggs again?” “You don’t have to make me anything, babe.” I set the box of crackers down so I can hug him. “Are you working today?” He shakes his head. “I’m on call again.” “You won’t work so much when you get a new job, right?” “I shouldn’t.”
