Are You Working Now Novels & Stories

It is currently thirty minutes to three And I do not have a car, all the busses, and trains are on a reak right now, and it is currently rush hour here in New Ypork! Am I going to get fired today?!

“Everything okay.” No! Whose account is this? I wanted to yell. “Yeah.” I straightened. “I’m good.” “Alright…” He said slowly. “You working at the Red Tar tonight?” I was guessing not. Figuring it was mostly just Fridays and weekends. “Yes. Why?” He eyed me curiously. Because I have fantastic plans for while you’re out. I smiled kindly. “I was just wondering if I’d have the television to myself.” More like his whole apartment to myself.

I said through the phone. “Where are you? Is everything, ok? You’re not sick, are you?” Kat fired her questions at me in rapid succession. I knew she was worried because I haven’t turn up to work since last week. “I’m fine…umm…things are just busy at work…” I replied, it technically wasn’t a lie. “Oh…but you’re coming back to work soon, right? This weekend is going to be so busy, and I miss having you around,” Kat asked. “I…I’ll see if I can make it…” I replied, afraid to commit to anything at that point.

I make one last attempt. “As you can see, I am working right now. If you could come back in a few hours...” I trail off, the Shifters just stare at me.

"How are you?" I approached my study table and sat down. "It's okay." "Really?" He answered me as he sat on my bed. I rotated my chair in front of him. "Yes, Ate. I'm fine." I need to assure her. I don’t want them to worry about me and Nana and Dad Danny. "Are you working online? Aren't you tired? Didn't you go out earlier because you said you wanted to work outside." I just nodded at him. She gasped at my answer.

I asked him. "Same as you," he answered. "I need to ask you something," I said to him. "Alright, go on." "Were you at work today?" I asked him. "Yes," he answered. "Great. Was my girlfriend at work today?" I asked him. "Yes," he answered at once.

, I flashed a big smile at him. "I want you to arrange a date for us?" "Date?", he asked me, a bit excited. "Yes, actually a double date. You know Varun and Esha both are seeing each other?" "What about Varun and Esha? I don’t know, this Varun didn’t tell me anything", he frowned. "How would you know when your head is busy 24/7 at work?”, I rolled my eyes. He pushed my chin up so I could see him in his eyes.

"I believe it's settled, if you still can't get a job today, then you'll not argue about returning to work as my personal assistant." *

I looked at the called ID and it was Tucker. “Hi Tucker.” I answered. “Hi baby. Listen, I’m really sorry that I haven’t seen you today. I’ve just been crazy busy.” He says. “That’s alright. So have I. I started work this morning and then I had to spend time with the kids and try to entertain them.” “I didn’t know that you were working.” “Yeah. Well, with my mother incapacitated at the moment, someone needs to pay the bills. Hopefully it’s only temporary.” I explained.

I admitted, feeling a pang of regret for letting so much time pass without reaching out. She reached across the table and squeezed my hand. “Well, we’re here now, and I’m not letting you go off the grid again. Deal?” “Deal.” Sophia leaned back in her chair, cradling her latte with both hands as her expression turned curious. “So, what are you up to these days, Alessia? Last I heard, you were working at that fancy boutique downtown. Still there?” I let out a soft laugh, shaking my head. “Not anymore. I’ve been bouncing between jobs lately. For now, I’m just working at a bar. Nothing too exciting, but it pays the bills.”
