Yeah, not too bad at all.
I’m studying an oddly-formed chip, wondering what it reminds me of when I glimpse the flaming red hair. I wave. “Kathy?”
“Amber?”
“Yes.”
“How are you?” Kathy sits across from me. She has a plethora of freckles splattered across her nose and cheeks. Eyes are emerald, and they are to die for.
“I’m fine,” I answer.
“Liking it here so far?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Good.”
I put the odd-shaped chip back in the bag and tell Kathy I’m ready.
“All right,” she answers and rubs her hands together. “Let’s get you started, then.”
She guides me to a cubicle. “This is your new home.”
I thank her, and she checks the time and tells me to familiarize myself with things—the computer, keyboard, desk, and anything else. She’s not in charge of doling out assignments. “I’m guessing they won’t have you start anything until tomorrow.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
I set my purse on the desk.
“I’m down that way if you need anything.” Kathy points.
Down that way? Guess I’ll find her if I need her. “Thank you.”
Kathy leaves, and I sit down. Put my purse in a drawer, power up the computer, dink around. Check my phone after a while and notice a text from Noah. He’s wondering how things are going. I text him back:Got the job. Thanks for the introduction.
He texts back:Good to hear. Need to celebrate. Pick you up at seven?
I mull it over (Not really).Sure.
Quitting time shows up, and I’m feeling perky. Feeling grateful. The people I associated with today were nice. They all said, “See you tomorrow,” with a smile when I left. Think I’m going to like it here.
It’s six o’clock when I arrive home, and I have to get ready for my date. But first, I call the temp agency and tell them to take me out of the system.I’ve found a permanent job.
I think about calling Macy’s but decide to do that later. I need to clean up and find something to wear. I repeat this morning’s routine all over again, only much more quickly. Shower, hair, makeup. Rummage through the limited wardrobe in my tiny closet and decide on an Aloe vera-colored dress with matching belt. It’s flattering and hugs all my curves. Slip on a cute pair of Mary Jane heels, and I’m ready.
There’s a knock at the door, and I open it. Noah stands before me. What a handsome man.
“Hello, Noah.”
He answers by pulling me into him and kissing me.
I kiss him back. Hard.
