professor that I would attend and speak to the incoming freshman during orientation about the hazards of drunk driving.
    That’s where I met Paige. She reminded me so much of myself. I immediately started a conversation with her. Found out that she was going to live on campus and would need a part time job. The real estate firm was in need of a part time receptionist.
    The rest is history.
    “Sorry Mira, I won’t do it again,” Paige says apologetically.
    “It’s fine. Let me grab my call,” I say.
    “Good afternoon, Mira Adams speaking, how may I help you,” I say into the phone receiver.
    “Bitch, I’m back. Drinks on me,” a familiar voice says on the other end of the call.
    “Kylee?” I question.
    “Are there other girls that would just call you at work and address you as bitch? If so, I’m kind of pissed off that I have been replaced,” she says jokingly.
    “Oh my gosh, Ky. I haven’t talked to you in so long. How long are you in town ?” I ask.
    “Two week vacation babe and I couldn’t think of anywhere I would rather spend it,” she responds to my question.
    “I’ll leave early. Meet me at my mom’s. We can get ready there,” I tell her.
    “Boom. It’s a plan. Get ready little lady, I’m in a mood to turn up,” Kylee says, way too excitedly before she hangs up.
    Knowing that my best friend is in town, I know that I’m not going to get anything done today. I haven’t really used any of my personal days since I started and I know if I don’t use them soon, I’ll lose them. I turn my phone on ‘do not disturb’ and walk down the hall to the broker’s office.
    leaving
    “Come on in,” he says.
    “Hey Jacoby. I was wondering if it would be ok, if I left early today,” I ask.
    “What’s going on Mira, are you feeling sick,” he asks with a worried look in his eyes.
    “Oh no, it’s nothing like that. My best friend just got in town and she is staying with me. I totally forgot she was coming and didn’t leave a key for her. It will take me about a half hour to get home and back and it’s already two. I would just like to take the rest of the day off, if that’s okay,” I explain. It was the truth but also a lie, so I don’t feel any guilt about it. I’m too excited to see Kylee.
    “Yeah Mira, that’s fine. Just be sure to transfer your calls to your cell phone for the afternoon. You’re too important around here for someone to not be able to reach you,” Jacoby says.
    “Thanks Jacoby, no problem. See you Monday,” I say as I walk out and close his door.
    Jacoby Roberts is really a great boss. He’s super laid back and kind of lets us do what we do. Most brokers in this industry are hell bent on micro managing, but not Jacoby. There have been a few times I’ve met him outside of work with other co-workers for drinks. He’s just as laid back in the office as he is out of it. Let’s just say, if Jacoby weren’t my boss I would like to get to know him a little better.
    Jacoby stands over six feet tall with dark hair and hazel eyes. He has this confidence that makes him so fucking sexy. I often wonder if that’s what brings in the clients. Don’t get me wrong, the man is excellent at his job, but it can’t hurt that he is so easy on the eyes while doing it
    I make it home in record time. I forgot how little traffic is on the highways at this hour. I pull up to my parent’s house to see Kylee’s car sitting at the curb. I am literally smiling ear to ear
    I don’t see Kylee in her, car so I park in the driveway and go into the house through the side door. As soon as I walk in, I can hear my mom and Kylee laughing and talking about ‘the good old days’.
    “Do you remember the time when you and Mira got lost going to that concert a few years ago? You guys called me in a panic because you got on I75 going the wrong direction and ended up in Detroit,” my mom asks Kylee. I’m not sure she even asked. She is barely able to get the words out, she’s laughing so
