When The Sky Falls - Book 2 by N. Y. (i read books .txt) 📖

bar." Marybella said.

 

I shut down my laptop after printing off a story for Lauren.

 

 

As Rikki and Marybella tell me more about 90 Rockers, I head over to the print room and get my story to turn into Lauren’s room.

 

"Top notch service, tv on play and the bartender has a cute butt." I hear Rikki exclaim.

 

I look over to her.

 

 

"Rikki!" I say.

 

"What? Can I not talk about other men around you guys. I mean things have gotten slow with Jason, he’s sort of not around much, but this weekend i’m surprising him when he comes back home. I’m so excited." she replies

 

 

As me, Rikki and Marybella head out the glass doors towards the elevators, I stopped, where Sara was still at her desk.

 

I told Marybella and Rikki that i’ll catch up. 

 

 

"Hey, Sara time’s up. Work already ended 12 minutes ago." I say.

 

She looks up at me, then the time on her watch.

 

"Oh my god, I can’t believe I didn’t notice that. Sorry."

 

 

She grabs her things and starts to head out as I open the glass doors and we head towards the elevator.

 

Sara joins me in the elevator as I press for the first floor.

 

It was an awkward silence for 50 seconds, then the doors open and we both walk out.

 

 

Before I open the exit doors she stops me.

 

 

"Um, Elle? I just want to say, thanks for believing in me today. It really helped me get more focused."

 

I smiled.

 

"You're welcome Sara, hope your internship here doesn’t suck like mine."

 

 

I head out the doors, to find Marybella and Rikki in the alley waiting for me.

 

Marybella hurries to me, to the parking lot.

 

 

I start up my car and the others do too.

 

We drove off to 90 Rockers, parking out cars and finally heading inside.

 

 

The look of 90 Rockers was not like how I imagined.

 

The restaurant side was fantastic and the bar side was amazing too.

 

 

We sit down on nearby bar stools, waiting for the bartender. Marybella had several vodka cranberries and Rikki with her 20 or so sangrias.

 

I don't know, I forget. But it seems like 20.

 

All I got was water.

 

 

I didn’t want to be drunk on the road, or to crash into things. Especially since I have work tomorrow.

 

I’m not gonna let myself have a single drink, it's not coming between me and my moving plans.

 

 

I start towards the exit door of 90 Rockers and head out to my car.

 

I knew Rikki and Marybella would be fine. Besides, drunk Marybella is a bit more fun then regular Marybella.

 

 

I turned on the radio, as I drove off. I thought about the new house.

 

 

I pull into the driveway, to find Jacob’s shadow in the living room.

 

I open the front door and spot Jacob setting up the tv.

 

 

I was slow to come in, not making a sound so that I could scare him.

 

As he reaches for the extension plug, I grab his arm quickly.

 

 

He jumps as if he was jumped by 12 men.

 

He smiles to find only me, I laugh at his reaction.

 

Priceless.

 

 

I put down my purse and head upstairs to see if the bathroom is set.

 

And it is, except I need to put my things in there before work tomorrow.

 

 

Instead of taking a shower, I took a bath.

 

I had warm water, finally.

 

The best bath I ever took in years.

 

 

Jacob was done setting up in the living room.

 

I came down to see how he was doing, then entered into the kitchen to make dinner.

 

"So how’s the table behind the couch coming along?" I say.

 

 

He answers from behind.

 

"Almost done, just a few things to spruce up and then it’s set for the flower vase."

 

"Great, do you want ravioli or something else?" I ask.

 

 

He get's up from behind to couch to see me in the kitchen by the stove, I take a quick glance at him before he answers

 

"You're making ravioli tonight?" he asks.

 

"Yes, because I can cook." I reply.

 

 

He smiles then answers again.

 

"You know what, I need to take a break and you too. I’ll go get McDonalds for tonight, there's no need for cooking."

 

 

He grabs his car keys.

 

As soon as he headed out the door, I got ice cream out from the freezer.

 

When he get's back, we'll share.

 

 

I turn on the tv and see my new favorite show is on Sierra Li Lo La La Vista.

 

The show is about a young girl named Sierra, who has a crazy family and a terrible lost, love life with her boyfriend after he gets in a car crash.

 

And loses half his memory about Sierra, and it’s up to her to help her boyfriend remember her or she’s forced to move on to an arranged marriage.

 

 

I love it and I just started watching before Jacob an I moved to the new house here in Vera Lance our neighborhood.

 

Just as Sierra finds out her parents might force her into a marriage, if she doesn’t help Milos get his memory back, i’m interrupted.

 

 

I paused my show and walk over to the door to see who’s knocking.

 

I open the door to see Jacob, holding 3 bags of food.

 

"Forgot my house keys."

 

 

I smile and let him in.

 

We sat down and watch my show, while we eat.

 

 

Me and Jacob head to bed, hours later after the long day.

 

By the end of the week, it’ll be the weekend and we’ll finally get to spend some time together in our new house.

 

 

Chapter Two: Let Me Explain

  

I woke up bright and early before Jacob did. I went over to the restroom to check how I looked this morning.

 

Let me say, that i’m a hot mess when it comes to waking up in the morning

 

 

"This is the rest of my life." I say, as I look at myself in the mirror.

 

 

I hopped in the shower, and rinsed out the extra products in my hair.

 

Then I got dressed.

 

 

Jacob woke up after I was done blow drying my hair.

 

He heads into the bathroom, as I head over to my makeup vanity across the room.

 

 

I start applying a few strokes of eye shadow then eyeliner.

 

Today I was going for the look of purple, since me and Lauren are announcing the notices about the upcoming writers and design awards.

 

 

As soon as Jacob is out of the bathroom, I head in to change for work and curl up my hair.

 

It had a great bounce to it and shined.

 

 

I spray my favorite perfume then head out so I can grab my purse and run downstairs to make a quick breakfast.

 

Jacob hurries downstairs, as I eat up some of yesterday’s McDonalds.

 

Unlike most people, I don't really eat a healthy breakfast.

 

 

Jacob grabs something from the pantry and heads towards his office to grab his book bag, filled with reports and paperwork.

 

 

We both head out the door and got into our separate cars. He has the SUV and I get the big black Hummer. 

 

Today was the last time I would see Jacob for the week, because he got called in to go to California for a big business meeting.

 

 

I said goodbye and we went our separate ways.

 

For now, I have the house to myself and that means I get to fix up the rest of our stuff throughout the week.

 

And it could mean girls night for me, Rikki and Marybella.

 

 

As I drive up on the road leading back to city from the suburbs, I arrive at the same time as Rikki.

 

And she waits for me, while I get out of the car.

 

 

I walk over to her.

 

"Hey Rikki. And Marybella is drunk, can I guess?"

 

 

Rikki gives me an eased look, which meant Marybella got drunk or she went back to her old ways again.

 

Marybella pulls up in her car into the parking lot. She struggles to get out of the car and shut’s the door with a slam.

 

"Good morning Rikki, Elle."

 

She stumbles as she walks towards me.

 

I scoff at her.

 

"Marybella are you still drunk? You can't be drunk and go into work."

 

She looks at me angrily.

 

"Who are you to judge with your pity looking self, I just had one too many drinks. And besides, it's a hangover." she says.

 

 

She then falls to the ground.

 

"Crap, okay Rikki get her a soy vanilla latte and i’ll meet you two back in the building. Marybella behave!"

 

 

She stumbles to get up, but stands still when she's on her feet.

 

Rikki holds her arm and walks beside her.

 

 

"Don’t worry about me Elle, i’m fine....fine as hell!" Marybella said.

 

She bursts in laughter.

 

 

I walk down the alley and looked back, making sure no one was following me. I safely walk out of the alley and into the writers and design building entrance. 

 

 

I went up the elevator into the main glass door entrance and there it was, the stage.

 

Everyone was preparing for the announcement. 

 

Workers turned the photoshoot area into a stage.

 

 

Lauren spotted me and her eyes widened in exitement.

 

Guess I won't be getting Marybella her latte.

 

 

"Elle, darling you're just in time. In 15 minutes we’ll announce the coming of the awards show, but or now keep Sara busy." she whispered to me.

 

"Now I don’t want Sara hearing the announcement, because the awards doesn’t include her." she said.

 

 

Lauren smiled and walked over to see how the workers were doing.

 

I open up my laptop and starting writing for my daily blogs.

 

 

"It’s been a while since I blogged or possibly a day, I missed you guys. I hope you have a fun weekend because by this weekend i’m writing a story about someone special who’s been presenting FARELLE magazine for over 12 years. Jacob’s across the states in California for a big company meeting. Marybella and Rikki and Marybella had started hanging out after work, by getting drinks together. After a few vodka crainberries, she starts to act like a grown woman for 2 hours straight. Today is the close-up announcement for the upcoming award show for FARELLE and its loyal workers. I’ve been working here since last year and took a lot of time off for family issues, but I got through and now i’m back and ready to work harder. As for now, i’ve officially turned into a boss for my one and only intern, Sara. I might actually love my job even more. Anyways gotta go and see ya next time." - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

"What are you doing?" Sara asks from behind.

 

I turned at her mention, making me catch my breath.

 

She scared me.

 

 

"None of your business, now leave me alone. Go find something to write about." I respond.

 

 

I close my laptop after she looks over to the workers fixing up the stage.

 

I knew since it was so early in the morning, the only thing Sara could write about is the workers.

 

 

"And no, don’t write anything about the workers here, their job is boring."

 

She sighs and asks me a question. "Well then what am I suppose to write about?"

 

I give an angry sigh then answer.

 

"Write about something that doesn’t take place here, but rather outside. You know that becoming a writer includes stumped ideas, but you always keep thinking and make the best of the story like, writing a story on someone here or a random hobo outside." I say.

 

 

Sara scatters to her desk to grab her journal and she passes by me before she heads towards the glass door then stops.

 

"Thank you for giving me the greatest idea!"

 

 

She runs through the glass doors.

 

I guess she’s off.

 

 

I start preparing for my part of the speech that Lauren and I are giving to the writers and design department.

 

Rikki interrupts me during my memorization.

 

"Excuse me Elle, we’ve got
