This Or That

Stacie was seated, watching movies on Novalie's television, while Novalie was reading a book on the dining table.

"Nova, stop reading and watch this with me!" Novalie yelled.

"I don't watch movies all the time."

"Then what do you watch? News?" Stacie asked

"I hate news, but i sure love novels and books." Nova smiled.

"And that's why boys hate you as much as vampires hate garlic."

"And as much as Novalie hates Stacie ." Nova said and Stacie burst into laughter.

"Ugh! The adverts are here again!" Stacie pouted.

"Adverts? That's cool." Nova smiled as she continued reading.

"Yaaay!!!!!!!!!! I finally get to have a job! I DON'T HAVE TO SIT ALL DAY IN NOVA'S HOUSE LIKE A COUCH POTATO!!!" She screamed and jumped on the sofa.

"Madam, why are you yelling?"

"The President needs a PA!" Stacie screamed.

'What? Where's the advert?"

"Well, its gone now, but its $50,000 weekly!" She yelled.

"Wow, Stacie."

"He also needs a cook!"

'I guess i wanna go for that PA stuff." Nova said.

"You should totally! I love the cooking." They said and squealed in excitement. They woke up very early the next day and searched all around for their best formal dress. Nova packed her hair in a bun as they ran across the streets.

"Take us to the President's office!!!!!!" They screamed.

"These are the biggest sillies, i have ever heard of" People murmured as they jumped into a cab and the cab sped off. After twenty minutes, they arrived and stopped to stare at the luxurious building in front of them.

"Whoa!" They exclaimed together.

"Hey four eyes and poop face, what are you doing here?" A guy asked, standing before them.

"That's disrespectful!" Stacie said.

"What are you doing here? Answer that!" The guy half yelled.

"We are here to see the president." They said in unison.

"Oh!!!! From where?" He asked.

"Asia." Stacie said sarcastically.

"That's not even funny. Four eyes is pretty gentle, but you are a mouse, who thinks she's a tiger!" The guy laughed.

"You are cute but rude" Stacie pouted and the guy softly placed a kiss on her lips and Stacie blushed instantly. The guy left.

"GIRL! What did he just do?!" Novalie smiled and Stacie was breathless.

"Stacie.."Nova held her hand as they walked into the building. They saw many people at the reception office, waiting for interview. They walked towards the counter.

"Um...Am Stacie Albert. And this is my friend, Novalie Greens. We are university graduates, and we are here with our...." Stacie paused and they gasped.

"DOCUMENTS! WHERE ARE THE FREAKING DOCUMENTS!" They screamed.

"Sit there, if you are here to see the President." The receptionist said.

"Next"

"My name is Natasha. I wanna apply as the president's P.A. Here are my documents." The lady spoke and the receptionist signaled for her to go in. Minutes later, she came back looking disappointed.

"Next!" Stacie ran towards the receptionist.

"I don't think you will get this job. Your documents are at home!"

"Luck might just get us!" Stacie winked and went upstairs. She reached an office that said: PRESIDENT ROMAN... She barged into the office and saw the President didn't notice. He had headphones on and his eyes were fixed to the laptop.

"Good morning sir" Stacie greeted.

"Hi..." The President looked up shocked.

"STACIE!" He screamed and stood up. He shook her hands.

"It has been a long time.." The President smiled.

"Okay, let's be formal now. Am Stacie Albert. I wanna apply as your cook.' She smiled.

"You have the job"

"Is this Friendship sake?" Stacie folded her arms.

"It is" Roman winked.

"Aww, thanks." Someone knocked.

"Come in" There was a very long silence. Their eyes met, Roman looked shocked. Novalie was speechless as butterflies flew in her belly. Her look turned into a scornful one and Roman managed to utter something;

"N...Nova" He said. He stared at her lips. They were red and quivering. Nova's past was returning...how Roman nearly raped her and threatened her...he made it known to her...

"NO ONE, WILL EVER LOVE YOU"

That made her start to yearn for someone. All that time in high school, was torment, and threats, by the bad boy in school Roman. Who was now a President standing before her. Novalie turned to leave, but as she recalled the salary amount and the years she had been searching for a job. She sighed and bowed her head in a shaky voice.

"Good...m...morning sir...My name is N...Novalie and i wanna get a job....i wanna apply i mean, for...the..uhm...your P.A" She said.

"Oh, okay...Well, you are employed."

"But..."

"I don't wanna hear anything." He said coldly.

"Well, you can resume tomorrow, but Stacie, wait outside and let's talk in private." He said. Stacie smiled and went out, closing the door behind her.

"Nova, Nova, Nova. Am so happy to see yah!" He said walking around the office. He pulled the curtains, and looked into her eyes, that were storing tears.

"I beg of you Roman. Don't harm me please! am only here to work.' She trembled.

'Oh, am sorry Nova. Fate brought us together again. Isn't that exciting?" He smirked.

"Take these off." He gently removed her glasses.

"Look how hot you are this way." He smiled and pushed her. She fell, hitting her head on the sofa.

"D...D...Why?" She cried.

"She's crying. Wow! She's crying!" He clapped as he came nearer. He wanted to know if her lips tasted the same as before.

"Roman" His name escaped her lips.

"Ah! I love when she calls my name..." He smiled refreshed.

"Roman...don't touch me, am serious about this." She whispered.

"Okay fine.." He stood up.

"I won't harm you, i won't touch you, but one thing Novalie;" He said.

"I will do anything so you won't harm me again..." She started crying bitterly.

"Okay. Promise me, you will have to look attractive for me everyday. And don't tell anyone about that day, or today" Roman winked.

"Okay....' She took her glasses and left the office crying.

"what happened Sweetie?" Stacie asked.

"Um..nothing...Something got into my eye"

"You can't lie to me. You have tears on your cheeks; tell me what's wrong am your best friend" Stacie looked concerned.

"Okay fine. Um...the...the...President said i will have to need the documents, and he sounded...hoarse so it...it made me cry." Novalie lied.

"But does his voice have to make you cry? Isn't he our classmate?" Stacie asked.

"Not anymore Stacie. He is the President."

"Yeah right. Let's go." They got outside and Novalie looked up in the sky to dry up her tears. Stacie and Nova saw the guy who kissed Stacie talking to some other guys.

"Look how cute he is. Go talk to him." Novalie elbowed Stacie.

"You talking to me about someone cute. Roman is also cute." She whispered.

"WHAT THE HELL? ROMAN IS OUR PRESIDENT!"

"You keep saying that shit! He's still my lovely classmate." Stacie smiled and Nova pushed her hard. She awkwardly landed in front of the guy.

"What are you doing here poop face? One minute." He took Stacie to a corner and waited for a reply.

"I...uh....Nova pushed me here...Nova's that girl that was with me" She looked nervous.

"Oh, okay!"

"I...i actually wanted to talk to you too..Why did you kiss me?" Stacie asked him.

"You pouted and i gave you what you needed." He said.

"Oh really?" Stacie chuckled.

"I love you"

"It will pass.." Stacie shrugged.

"It will never pass, poop face"

"Its Stacie. And you?" He asked.

"Alan."
