*Tuesday Morning*

"Hello ma'am, good morning" greeting started
"Hey, hello! Yeah morning!" I said while walking through the lobby to my cabin.

*knock knock*
"May I come in?"
While placing my bag I look back and it was Oren.
"Oh sure, please come in, boss. I was just coming to you. Please be seated", I said.
"No no its fine. I'm just here to give you this file. It's for our meeting, which is going to be held tomorrow morning sharp 8am" he said.
"Oh okay, let me see" I said while taking the file.
"Sure. Take a look at the points and make a visual presentation with a hard copy out of it, until 17 o' clock okay?"

Samantha entered while eating her regular double chicken sandwich with extra cheese and our office's famous bukelt golden coffee. "Hey Hol. Hello dad. What up people?"
"Aahh, Samantha! Boss is here for our tomorrow's meeting with.." I take a look at the name of our clients and continued, "French orphanage charity for a 5year contract, of our food and appetizers supply for their brunches world wide. So..." before I finish,
"So you both, have to make a visual and a hard copy of the presentation for this deal. And you guys have a deadline which is 17 on the dot. Okay?" he finishes while giving me one last look, if we're ready or not.
While nodding I said, "Yeah sure sir. We'll give you the visual presentation with the hard copy within 17 o' clock. So that you and us, can test it out before the meeting. If that's okay with you".
"Wait what? For THAT deal! Dad that's gonna take at least 7h. And we have a dinner tonight remember?" Samantha said with absolute shocked expression.
"Samantha, yes we know. And we are not ditching your special dinner, tonight. Cause before the dinner our work will be done. Don't worry" I assured Samantha.
"I have faith on you both, Holy-Sammy. Good luck" he said while leaving the cabin.
"But dad? What holy. You know right after this long "work stuff" I won't even have a single energy to even go home and get ready. Like I am not going on a dinner date with my boyfriend's parents while looking like an absolute tribe" Samantha confronted.
"Don't worry I'll make sure everything goes right okay. Now move your ass it's 9 now and we have to finish before 16 so that we can check and review all the work with Sir. And and aand, make you look like a decent elegant girlfriend for your boyfriends parents okay?" I giggled & spanged Samantha's ass while moving to our common desk where we both work.

13:30 o' clock
"How far have you gotten on the hard document Samm?"
"75% work is done. Now all you need to do is mark all the important phases out of it for the deal. And take a look at the clauses from 14 to 27. I guess" Samantha yawns idly.
"Then do one thing, you go home and take a nice shower. I'll come there by 16:30 & I'll give you a decent makeover. What says?" I replied while keep the laptop aside with a slow wink.

Sammy left the place as soon as I said those words. But she didn't forget you throw me a giant flying kiss across the room while leaving the cabin.

14:45 o' clock

Holy: umm?! Steve is that you new number again?

*phone ringg*
-----------------------
Oren; Holy how's the presentation going? Finished yet!
Holy; Yeah, boss! Just coming to your cabin for the preview.
Oren; Sure thing, come fast then!
Holy; Yeah yeah.
-----------------------

*knock knock*
"Just come in. No need to knock", Oren said while having a ease expression.
"Okay. By the way, here's the hard copy of the presentation", I said while giving the document and "I will just connect the USB with the projector now. Here you will see the visual representation of this", I finished.
"Guessing you let Samantha take the easy works and leave earlier Holy?" Oren said. "Not like that boss, she did her part of work before I finish. So I just let her go home" I replied.
"Let's check the files and presentations now" Oren exclaimed.

It took us less than an hour to finish all the testing and re checking both the documents and visual representations.

"I'm really proud, Holy!" Oren said while patting my shoulder gently.
"You can always count on us boss"
"I know but, I can always count on you no matter what! You always keep Samantha on track, always taking care of her and doing all you jobs on time. Punctual and never afraid of hard challenges. This is what makes me feel impressed", Oren says while having a sweet smile.
"You, Sammy and Ceci, I owe you guys a lot honestly. Whatever you guys did back then was something undeniably priceless. Which is irreparable for me. I just do all these stuff because these makes me happy and makes me feel like home!" I said while looking into Oren's eyes.

"I consider you guys my family" I complete my words.
I starts packing my stuff to leave.
"By the way, where were you this Monday? Me and Sam tried to reach you the whole day but couldn't." Oren asks while looking into one of the documents placed on his table.

Wait wait wait. Monday?
I went to the bar with Sam, on Saturday night. I came home when it was.....

"Holy, it's fine. You don't have to tell me, Sam used to do these all the time." He says while sipping his tea mug.
With a hesitant thought I somehow managed and say, "It's not like that. I came home on Sunday night. So I was just..."
"You know what it's fine. I get it" he says while smiling back to me.

*text beepp* 16:10 o' clock
---------------------
Samantha: where are you? It's already 16:10!!
Samantha: I'm literally waiting for you to get me ready HOL
---------------------
*text beepp*
---------------------
Unknown: slow texter I assume! :《]
---------------------

"Sorry, I guess it's Sam" I replied with

*call ringg*
"Samantha calling pick it pick it"
Ugh this desperate girl.
------------------

"It's..."
"I understand. You aren't like my daughter, as in you're not Samantha to me, you know? But first take the call okay!" while sitting on his chair he says with a peaky smile.

*call ringg*
"Samantha calling pick it pick it"
Holy from the other side of the phone, "Ugh, yes yes I'm coming! Seriously, now Sammy? I'm coming just give me 10 more minutes, okay. Bye-bye!"
------------------

"Ugh its Samantha, boss! She's blasting off I better hurry." I said with a condensed face. "Sure of course! Make sure you reach there too I'll join you guys after Samantha and you both meets her boyfriends mother okay!" Oren says with a big smile.
"Um okay then, see you there. Bye!" I said . I started to move to reach out the door. "And thanks Oren for every time, to have faith in us, specially on me. I owe you a big time you know!", and I left his (oren) cabin.

*text beepp*
---------------------
Unknown: Hey, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for the last time. I was just messing around with you, hope you know that? *unseen*
Unknown: Just lemme know if it's okay or not for you to talk with her senior. *unseen*
Unknown: And a little advice don't be too serious that you actually get lost under your own work, okay? ;) *unseen*
------------------------

"Oh HOLY MOLY DEMON! I'm looking so damn HOT, you think Stevey will just jump on me without even caring that his mother will be in front of us the whole time? Holy", Samantha exclaims with a pretty high pitched tone. "I'm not digging anymore on that imagination Sammy! I have better work to do rather than just imagining" I air quote while giving a little primp on the reflector front of us. 
"Ugh and what's that *better work* mind telling me single lady?" Samantha neutralize. "I would rather sit next to your Steveys' mother & enjoy the show". "HAHAHA veryy funny", Sammy finishes. But I know literally throw that punch to the border and I love it. 

*call ringg*
"Yes, Oren! It's me." I confirmed  
"There's this situation over here. The hard copy that you gave me I have it, but the soft copy of the presentation just crashed when I tried to recheck for the last time. What do you think you can remake it by tomorrow?", Oren's voice toned to the lowest while finishing.
"Yes, I can do that. Not a problem!" I replied. 
"Thank GOD, thanks dear!! And don't tell Sammy, cause you know?", Oren says back. 
"Yes I know", I giggled. "Don't worry, bye!", and I cut the call.

"What's up with daddy ha?" Sammy asked while spinning slowly in her almost red-ish floral knee length skirt with a cute crop top covering a leather jacket. I do admit this girl looks like a million bucks when her face is lighted up with joy. 
"Are you even gonna spit out what your bossy cool said", desperation starts to grope Sammy's voice.
"Ugh, nothing. He just confirmed if I'm going to do that double knot tie for him, when he will come there.", just a white lie -.-
"WHAT? Daddy will be there too? OMG why didn't you tell me before!", anyone could tell how happy Samantha's voice sounded that moment! 
"Just a little surprise, for the birthday gaal", while pinching her cheeks I said.
"My birthda--" before she finishes I said, "Yes  I know you will forget this but I don't you know" while placing the tidy midey gift box I continue, " And this is a small gift for the birthday gaal. I thought I would give you this when the clock will cringe at the last minute of this day. But I couldn't wait. So...." I finished my sentence.

Typical Samantha always tear up, and today was no indifferent.

"No No No. If you ruin your mascara this time, I'm not gonna fix the panda eyes, I swear. And then you will definitely look like a tribe the next moment you meet Stevens mother. So don't please!",  ugh what can I say, I'm being effing sarcastic ain't I.
"Eff you holy!", she carefully wipes her almost falling tear. "Can I open it now, Holy?"
"Mad or what? Of course! It's all yours pretty lady" I said back. 

Samantha was unwrapping the box very careful, since forever I'll say.

*FlashBack*
*2008 August 19th* 
-----------------------
"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday adorable Sammy! Happy birthday to you", the birthday song ended when the guitar strings started. 

"The world is quite big,

And I know its cruel there. You might fall every now and then, Yet you'll end up getting someone at your back.Even if the back ain't going to be mine,But now I pray & hope that,The life span become yours which's mine!The last wish to make now all by my heart,May your all wish floats and fulfill while touching the sun.On your birthday, all I have now this to wish for,Because its your birthday when the first time you engulf the raw!" with a low pitch I ended the song when I saw Sammy's face! 

Samantha ran towards the chair where I was sitting. And as I saw her open arms to embrace me I sided away the guitar to hold her tight. The environment which was silent for a few long, started to throw applause! 

"You wrote the whole song just for me?", Samantha asked while she was outcrying a little bit.
"Sha-na-nope", I replied. "My secret lover from last week sent me this and I just tagged that to your head on your biggg day", I finished with a primp of glance. 
"What", not only Samantha but the whole party gasped.

"So don't be a fool and stop crying Sammy", I continued. "And rather than just this song I have another gift for you, want it?", I asked her flirtatiously. 
"You fool. You've wrote such a beautiful song for me. What more can I ask, ha?", she said while hugging me again. 
"So I'm just gonna keep it to myself then, box of Reese's. Yumm!", I did a little shrug off.
"Ugh give me that you HolyMoly!!", wait did she just slap my ass? Yeah, literally! ._.

She started to remove the wrapper very gently. 
"Gosh It's big box! Hey, have you just bought the whole Reese's candy store for me?", she giggled with her lowest tone. 
"It's only one box of Reese's, but covering with another box called Instant Camera? Are you serious", her face was worth watching.
"A small wish of yours, honey! Your fairy God Mother sent this to me so that I can give this! It's the 2007 addition."
"I love you so much Holy! You are the best", she finished.

As soon as she finished, I took the camera from her hand and clicked the picture of us together. 
"Wow, this one came so good, Holy!" 
"I'm gonna takeaway this one! You can keep the rest", I demanded.
"Takeaway? Planning to make a scrapbook out of our pictures ha", she chuckled.
 "When we'll in out 20's I will tell you that", I whispered but in a very loud tone. 
"Okay, but let's go and collect the candies from the candy grain", 
"Let's do it", we agreed!

"Samantha's Point Of View"

"Hello Mrs. Rorger!" I said while giving her a little awkward hug. "FYI mom can be a little too possessive about me so be ready!" Steven finishes with a small kiss on my cheek while pretending to his mother that he was just being romantic. "You look lovely in this.... dress" while Steven's mother making an awkward face after saying this to me, she turns her head towards Steve and says " won't you go and buy us ladies a couple of Margareta before the startera Dear?" "yeah sure Ma, I will be back in a few minutes" while saying that Steven fades behind the bar and I am left with the lady, who, I'm one thousand percent sure will literally eat me alive If she gets a chance cause she loves her little boy very much! Ugh where the hell are you Holyy!!!

"Samantha's Point Of View Ends"

*Mean while in the office*

"Its already late Boss, I promised Sam you'll be there today", I said while turning away the laptop to myself from Oren. "It will be fast If we both-", before Oren finishes I said, "I promise this will be done before even you guys finish the dinner there If you leave now. And I never missed her birthdays not even for ones but this year she was blooming knowing that you are gonna be there not only for her birthday but also to meet Steven's family. I promised her this and I know she'll be waiting for you Oren". "Won't she expect you, If you don't show up?", Oren said. " I am with her, don't worry!" by saying all that I actually managed to send Oren to the restaurant. Although it was clear that he was feeling guilty but he still left after kissing my forehead.

*01:35am at the office*

So at last the work is done. I hope everything went well with Sammy tonight. Hope she gets all the happiness she deserves, If possible may even god give her mine too. While thinking all that I sent Oren a text that the work is done and a small paragraph to Samantha that I knew she would make it today even without my sidekicks. 

*texts beep* 

-----------------

Holy: done with the work a long ago so was just chilling till now! btw how did it go there?

Boss: Sam was pissed on you but actually pretty haply to see me so Thanks to you. And earlier today I said that you're not like my daughter and I could not finish what I was gonna say so, I wanted to tell you that, you are not like a daughter to me, cause you are actually my daughter Holy. Both Ceci and I are proud of you ❤         seen//loved♥
