Kira's pov
I cleaned my hands with a napkin and ran to my phone that had been ringing for some seconds now.
I smiled as I saw Daniel on the screen. My best friend. He's just the only friend I have since college.
I clicked the green button and placed the phone on my left ear.
"Dani, what's up?" I beamed with a smile.
"The sky is up." He replied sharply.
Oh oh! I ain't expecting that.
"Anyways, what's this early morning call all about?" I asked him while I walked away from the kitchen to the sitting room.
"Well, am sure you must have forgotten about the birthday party I told you about. Which is going to happen this night. You forgot right?"
He let out a chuckle.
"Oops! Damn it! Don't mind me okay? I already forgot about it. You know I don't really like partying." I answered.
"Well, you must come. Just this one and I won't invite you to any again. Please." I could picture his pouting lips and puppy face.
I sighed and replied, "Fine! Am coming okay. And we are gonna come back early. No alcohol." I stated.
"Sure, no alcohol. Yessssss!! Finally!" I heard him say and I was wondering why he sounded so happy cause I accepted.
"I know you're gonna f*ck some low life bitches. Don't get anyone pregnant!" I laughed.
"Okay mommy. Am not! I promise to be a good boy. I need to go now." He rushed his words and hung up before I could even talk.
I dropped the phone on the couch and went back to the kitchen to do my chores.

Soon, I was through with the chores. I went upstairs to take my bath and get ready for work.
Am a receptionist in a hotel.
I had my bath and wore a white shirt and black skirt with a black suit then white shoes.
I primped my hair in front of the mirror. I packed my hair into a pony tail. Put on some light makeup, grabbed my bag and walked downstairs.
I took some slices of bread in the refrigerator and added jam to it then ate it.
I checked my time, it was 7:45am and I need to get to work before 8:00am.
I hurriedly finished the bread and stood up from the chair. I took my phone from the couch.
As soon as I got outside, I locked the door with the key in my hand.
I boarded a Cab to the hotel I work at. I paid the fare and walked into the hotel.
"Good morning, Emily." I greeted my partner.
We are the receptionist of the hotel.
"Good morning, beauty. You look so happy." She winked at me.
"Oh! I should look happy always. Have always learnt to be happy." I replied.
"Hey miss, can you show me the way to room 105?" A girl, more like a slut cause of the slutty dress she wore.
The dress that barely cover her b*obs and her thighs.
"I'd take you there." I said.
She trailed behind me as I walk till we got to the particular room we are looking for.
"Here it is." I pointed to the door and turned back to leave.
"You're here Angela. Have been waiting for you." A deep man's voice spoke and the girl's voice followed too.

"I wish am just gonna take a day off. I have headache. But that stupid man won't even want to hear an excuse. Just do his job."
Emily groaned as she rubbed her forehead hard.
"You just have to wait for one hour more before going home. Am sure Candice and Anne are getting ready." I told her as I yawned and placed my head on the table.
Today has been hell. Can't wait to get home and have a good nap before thinking of going to the birthday party.
Finally, I closed for today. Candice and Anne had come before I and Emily left.
They are to work over night. A night shift.
I got home so quickly and dropped my bag on the floor. I rushed to my room to take a cold bath that sent shivers down my spine.
I changed my wears and jumped on the bed to take a nap.
Hours later, my phone rang again. I lazily opened my eyes and picked the phone.
Daniel again?
"What's it?" I rolled my eyes.
Why did he have to wake me up from sleep?
"Don't tell me you forgot about the birthday party again!!" He yelled over the phone.
"Wow! Daniel, you are sounding strange today. I didn't forget about the party. I just had a little nap. What time is it?" I responded.
"9:00pm! I told everyone you're coming. So, don't disappoint me. Do not!" He snapped.
"Daniel, are you alright? Or is it still the same Daniel I know?" I asked trying to be sure.
The Daniel I know won't yell at me.
"It's still the same Daniel you know. But attitudes are changing. I wanna get what I want today." His voice cold.
"Am gonna pick you up. Expect me in thirty minutes time." His voice turned cooed again and he laughed like he didn't say anything earlier.
He wanna get what he wants today? What's that?
I shrugged that off and proceeded to my wardrobe to select a dress and going to wear.
I settled down for a blue dress and white sneakers.
I loosen my pony tail and combed my long hair down. I did no makeup cause I didn't want to.
I grabbed my phone and my small purse.
I heard a car horn outside and I immediately knew it was Daniel.
I smiled as i walked out of the house to meet him. I entered the car, staring at his cold face.
What's up with him since morning? He has been acting strange.
