Sneaking and Working

Mia

The next day I decided to go to work. I was so bored sitting here all day and do nothing. I hate being nonproductive. I constantly jump on one thing or the other, so being in my apartment reading books, eating, wasting my time on my phone, and sleeping got me bored and lazy after some time. I can never sit still in one place after a certain point in time. And this habit has proved good for me at least till now. My mind needs its source of entertainment and workout just like other people. Otherwise, my productivity can go zoop all the way low till the point I accomplish nothing whatsoever.

So, you can imagine my struggle as a student in my school, high school, and college.

I left after I had breakfast with James. He insists on having a full breakfast every morning whereas I am the person who does not eat anything until 3 pm when half of the day has already passed. I just forget to eat, then remember when it's past lunch time. So, sometimes I used to eat directly at night or maybe a late afternoon or late evening and then skip dinner. Why waste time eating when you can function better without it at least for a few hours?

When my Melissa was with me, she used to practically force feed me because I would not eat at the right time. She really used to look after me a lot. I miss her like something is missing from my heart itself. Like... like something that was vital to my existence and now that life saving vial does not exist any more, creating a void... dark cold void in my life... darker than the pitch dark night sky on a moonless night. My life is dark like the black hole now. The light of my life, my sunlight, my starlight, my moonlight did not exist anymore. She lived in my memories and she was happy in those happy memories. The way we spent our childhood, our life all by ourselves, happily, in peace, with love and a sense of gratitude that we had each other and that was enough. We did not need anything else. We were content with each other's company, living with teamwork, love, peace, and like clockwork. Our life and whatever we had was enough for us. We did not desire anything else, to be honest.

I really should stop thinking about her at least if I want to get out of the house without looking like shit. People should not suspect a thing. I need to cover some more days working like this, at least until I get enough money to quit my job and work on finding Brian William and live in this apartment. I did have some spare savings from the last two years. But that would be useful in gathering more weapons, intel, my other expenses, and of course if I had to spend money on emergency situations. The minimum amount would take approximately a month or two. Then, I will be fully prepared. Till that time, have patience, Mia, things will work out just the way that I have planned. They have to. I do not have many options here, do I?

James didn't know that I was heading for work. I told him that I would be watching some movies on my laptop and eat ice cream to pass the time. He gave me some of his DVDs, telling me that these were his favorite movies. He also lent me some of his books to spend the day. He said since I love books so much that I should definitely check his favorites out. The best way to know more about a person and be good friends you should read their favorite books and check their favorite movies and songs out. He promised to share his playlist soon too. He is not wrong though. I judge people by their taste in such stuff all the time. It is the easiest way probable.  So far I saw one of his favorite movies. It was 'The Judge'. And that movie is a masterpiece! I can not wait to discuss it with him!

I wore my regular black tank top with a white jacket and a white washed jeans. Yup, comfortable enough to work and lift heavy books all day, get smooth movement, and at the same time I can fight easily if required while remaining in the warmth of the jacket. I snuck out of the apartment feeling like a teenager again who's sneaking out for a party and trying to hide from the babysitter hired. Usually, it's parents but in my and Melissa's case, it was a babysitter. I loved my apartment in haste and carefully looked around. No one was there, Jame's door was locked I guess and there was no one in the stairs and corridors too I took the stairs and climbed down with speed I like to run on the stairs and skip some steps too. Guilty... hell to the N O!

I knew James wasn't here he was in the precinct but I was still worried about disappointing him. I had promised him that I would take a rest. In a way, I had taken enough rest for my entire life so I had my theory if he confronted me.

I didn't take my car and decided that I would love a walk since I hadn't stepped out of my apartment for two days. I could really use a walk. A bit of fresh air would help. So I walked to the library feeling better than before. The library was a little far from my apartment building and on the way, there was a nice cafe. I took a detour even though I was getting a little late. Everyone needs a caffeine energy boost right before they start the day, do not they?

Every human on this planet more or less thinks the same I think. This cafe did not seem so nice anymore. Why do you ask this question? Ah, the answer is simple, there were too many fucking people here. Just what I need when I am late right? Whatever I am getting that coffee, I need my energy juice to function and to listen to my boss all day.

Sipping on my extra large cup of coffee with sugar and cream I brisk walked to the library for the rest of my way. I was nearly done with my cup by the time I reached the peaceful place with my not so peaceful boss. I just know that he must have done nothing for the time I took a leave. I can imagine that the books are misplaced, some left open, the new collection of books not stored properly, and the amount of time I would require to sort the mess. Not to mention the crowd coming in and out and spoiling all of my work just as I am done with it. Some people have no manner or regard whatsoever. They always need someone to clean up after them, do not they? Brats. I threw the now empty cup in the dustbin on the side. Motivation, good food, punching bad people, and books, Yes now we are talking baby! I cracked and popped my neck and fingers, then back, and entered the library with full enthusiasm... at least what I could muster.

I had much work to do. People are so irresponsible. They never put together books in their proper place and mess up all the arrangements. I had to spend hours fixing the problem. After the books were in the proper places I headed for a quick inspection around the library. Even though Mr. Smith had handled the library in my absence he hadn't done a single task. Everything was so disorganized here and I was absent for only two days.

I cleaned the old shelf which had the oldest books in that library. They were but obviously very important and I was worried that some idiot would have damaged it. Luckily people hadn't moved a single thing here. I released a breath of relief. If something would have happened to those gems I would've gone berserk.

I came back to the reception area where there was a line of people who were here to either return or borrow the books. Mr.Smith had sent them all home telling them to come back when I would be back. He was a pain in my ass. The least he could do was lend people books, they needed them that's why they were here, weren't they? I can not think like that, after all, he pays me to do this.

The day passed in a blur. I was so tired by the end. James was correct I had overworked myself. My stomach was hurting. I had no strength to walk back home. I'll have to take a cab now.
