"Malia, Darling", Sandra said walking into my office. "I have no clients today, and it's Wednesday".

"Awe crap", I said. I had totally forgot to book clients for Sandra and today was one of those days that she accepted meetings with people that wanted her to see their work. If she liked it, she would either pay them for their work or give them a job. "I forgot". I put my hand on my forehead. I guess I was so caught up in going on dates and falling for guys these last few weeks.

I looked up at Sandra who was shaking her head at me as if she was disappointed.

"Really, Malia? You're one of my top workers and you finally let me down", Sandra explained. I could tell that she was a little upset. "You get on the ball or you're Fired", she said and then turned around and walked out of the office.

I couldn't believe that I almost got fired again. I was really tired lately and I haven't felt like working. I was so caught up in filling out paper work and trying to train new people, that I forgot about booking the clients. Maybe this was all too much for me. I have a lot on my hands and it was very stressful.

My office phone began to ring. I picked it up and it was Danny, the Receptionist. "Hi, Malia. There is a guy by the name of um... Mr. Sam Scott. Should I send him up?", he asked. Oh crap, it was Sam. I couldn't believe he showed up here at my job and I was already falling behind on my work.

I didn't want him to be here but I didn't want to be mean and send him away. "Um sure, send him right up", I said. We exchanged goodbyes and then I hung up the phone.

A few moments later, Sam knocked on the door that was already open and I let him know that he could come in. He had a smile on his face that let me know that he was glad to see me. He was in regular clothes, a long sleeve, brown shirt and jeans. He had flowers in his hands that were bright and beautiful. I stood up and smiled at him and then I walked over to the other side of the desk where he was standing.

"Hey, beautiful", he said and then he hugged me and then kissed me on my cheeks. "These are for you", he continued as he handed me the flowers.

"I hoped they were", I joked and he laughed along with me.

"Yeah, I guess you already knew, but anyways, would you like to grab dinner later?", he asked. To be honest, I didn't want to go out with Sam any time soon until after my date with Tim. I didn't know why, but that's how I wanted it. Besides, I needed to focus and get caught up on my work. This job was my life and I couldn't get fired.

"Sam, I'm sorry but I have so much to do", I explained to him.

"I totally understand", he insured me. I hated that I had to let him down like that. Especially after he brought me these beautiful flowers.

"Great, um, but thank you so much for the flowers. They're beautiful", I said as I tried to lighten up the mood.

"Yeah, I thought you would like them. I wasn't planning on getting them but when I saw them in the store, I thought of you", he said. I wanted to melt and change my mind on going out to dinner with him, but I knew I couldn't. I wanted to run into his arms and start kissing him but that wasn't very professional at your job. I stared into his eyes and I wanted to tear up but I threatened not to. I continued to stare into his eyes and tried to find the right words to say. He had me speechless as you can say.

"Wow...Sam...thank you", I said and then leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"Ughm", I heard someone say. I quickly pulled away from the kiss and there standing at the door was Sandra. I was shocked and afraid of what she was going to say. "What is this that I am seeing on the job?", she asked.

I looked down and then looked back up at Sandra who was still waiting for an answer. I put the flowers on my desk and searched in my mind the right words to say. Sam was standing there watching and waiting for me to answer also. As he saw that I wasn't able to answer, he stepped in.

"I'm Sam Scott", he said and then he put his hand out to shake Sandra's hand and surprisingly she shook his. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know that she couldn't have anyone here. I just wanted to bring her some flowers", he explained.

"And it couldn't wait", she said referring to him bringing me the flowers.

Sam looked at me and then back at Sandra. "No, I couldn't. I couldn't wait to see her because I'm..because I'm...", he said. He couldn't get out the words that he was going to say and I stood there waiting for him to get it out.

"Just save it", Sandra said putting a hand up to stop him from speaking.

Lately I haven't really been on Sandra's good side. What is going to happen next? I thought to myself.

"Malia, first you forget to book my clients for today and now you're being intimate on the job", she said. I really did not want to hear what she was going to say next.

"Sandra, I am so sorry. It will not happen again, I promise", I said to her. When I promise, I always keep my promises.

"Malia, I'm sorry but pack up your things, you're fired", she said. When she said the words 'you're fired' , it was like a stab in my heart. Her words were firm and it hurt me. My mouth gaped open, and I couldn't believe that she had just fired me.

"What? I'm fired?", I said. I could feel a little anger build up inside me. I didn't know if it was towards Sam or towards Sandra but I was about to let it out of it's cage. "I've worked so hard for this position and now you're firing me? I worked my little butt off, being stuck up your ass and doing everything to keep you satisfied". I had just blanked.

"Malia, no need to get upset", she said.

"You know what, just forget it. At least I don't have to work with a spoiled little brat like you", I said with anger surrounding me.

"OK, I think that's enough, Malia", Sam said. He tried to calm me down and take me away but I pushed him aside and I continued on.

"I feel so sorry for the people that have to work for you". People then started swarming the halls. "you're insecure, like you told me and I kept that a secret for you because I was the only real person that you could talk to. You always complained how you didn't have any real friends. You're just a spoiled little bitch with rich people problems and Im glad that I don't have to deal with it", I continued. Everyone was looking with shock on their faces. I finally had stopped yelling and telling Sandra about herself. She had a look of shock, and I could tell that she wanted to run away and cry. Tears were in her eyes but she held them back so good.

"Hurry and pack your things and get out of this office Now!", she yelled. Sandra demanded everyone to get back to work and then she left.

I was almost done with packing up my things. Sam stayed to help but I didn't say a word to him the whole time since Sandra left which was about twenty minutes ago.

"I'm really sorry", Sam said breaking the silence in the quiet office.

"It's ok", I said as I continued to put things into my cardboard box. That was the only thing I could say. I could tell that he wanted to hear more but I really didn't feel like talking.

"Are you upset with me?", he asked as if he was tired of me acting this way.

"No, I'm not upset with you after you just got me fired", I said sarcastically.

"Look, you told the guy that I could come up. I didn't tell you to say yes so this your fault, not mines", he said pointing at himself.

"Oh really. If it wasn't for you showing up in my life, maybe I would still have my job. Because of you, I haven't been doing my work like I was supposed to", I said.

"So I destract you?", he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Do you think that's funny?", I asked with my hands on my hips.

"Yes", he said with a laugh. I gave him a frown and then he changed his answer. "No, I'm sorry, ok?"

"Whatever", I said and then I picked up my box and made my way out the door. Sam followed behind. I turned around and stared back into the office that wasn't mines anymore. I wanted to cry but not in front of Sam. I closed the door.

"She fired you?", Lina asked on the other end of phone.

Sam was roaming my apartment and looking at the several paintings and pictures and awards on the shelves and hanging on the wall. After helping me unpack my boxes, he chose not to leave just yet.

"Yep", I relied. I explained to her how I went off on Sandra and had the whole work place watching us.

"Well at least you told her off. If that was me, I would've tore up the whole office and leave it trashed", she said. I couldn't help but laugh. I told her how Sam was at my house and you know how she gets when I bring up a guy. I told her bye and then hung up the phone.

"Well that was a long conversation", he said as I put my phone back on the charger.

"Yeah", I said as I looked around my apartment with my hands on my hips. For some reason I felt free to do whatever I wanted.

"So does that mean that you're free to go out to dinner tonight?", he asked.

"Really? I just got fired and you're trying to celebrate it?", I said with arms folded now.

"I thought that I could cheer you up", he explained.

"Well it won't", I said as I rolled my eyes. I walked over to the couch and plopped down on it. Sam walked over and stood in front of me.

"You know what? I am tired of your bull, Malia. Maybe you just need some time alone. I'll see you later", he said and then he walked away and left out the door. A feeling of hurt began to rise in my chest. First I got fired and now I felt like I was getting dumped when I didn't even date the guy. I stood up from the couch and then I walked over to my window. I watched as Sam got into his car and left.
