Finding Myself - A New Beginning

Chapter Two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Day

Two weeks have past since Will, no Trey, and myself have decided to open the new business. Today is opening day and I can't wait to get started.
We hired an older lady around forty who was having trouble finding a job because of her age and was the funniest lady I met. Her name is Georgina Cross and was quite beautiful with long blond hair and dark brown eyes with an olive completion.

I was standing in our new kitchen in the office waiting for the new coffee machine to finish making my coffee before I started work for the day.

The place was amazing it had six offices and a room were its full of just monitors and a massive keyboard screen thing that look like a black desk. It was awesome, you had to have a password and finger print to enter that room though and Georgina wasn't aloud in that room.

We decided to offer a wide range of skills, from surveillance to under cover work, to security and anything Anyone needs us for.

I'm so giddy to be started today that the smile hasn't left my face one bit and I'm practically bouncing on my feet. I see Will walk in and smirk at me and if is even possible my smile get even bigger, I run over to him and practically threw myself at him and we both fall down on the ground laughing.

"someone is excited, you do realise that it could be really slow right, I mean we just started to day, it could be ages before we get our first client." I look over at him and pout and stand up and offer a hand.

"You don't need to be such a spoil sport. You never know we could be really busy."

He gives me a look that looks like he is about to agree with me for just the hell of it to just shut me up.

"Don't give me that look you arse, we will get a customer and we will be busy, just you watch" I turn around and go back to collect my coffee.

Three hours later.

"Fuck a duck I'm bored, Trey go get me a customer, stand on the street and wave one of those board things. I'm going out of my mind". I'm sitting in my office with my legs up on the desk my arms dropping over the side of the chair. I lift up my foot and look at my shoe, I have discovered high heels and I love them, I own enough to start my own store. I don't wear skirts much anymore, they remind me too much of the boys-men-whatever and have converted to skinny jeans or leather pants and long shirts with some jacket that all range in design.

"I'm not your advertising boy Raven, if you're so bored go do it yourself. Have you got all the legal documents all sorted and ready for a customer if and when we get one?"

I look at the folder on my desk with the newest legal form stating stuff like if shit hits the fan were not held responsible, wouldn't want to be sued straight of the bat would we.

"Yeah there all ready. My dearest Georgina where are you?" She pops her head around the corner and smirks at me. I currently have my hair in my face looking much like cousin It.

"Yes Raven you called."

"I'm hungry, can you go get me some food please." I know that really sounded like a five year old winging then but I am hungry and bored.

She laughs at me and turns to Trey, "can I get you something to eat as well Trey?"
"That would be great, thanks Georgina. Don't mind Raven, if she gets to demanding tell me and I'll sort her out."

I snort in reply and bend back even more to look at Trey upside down. "As if you could and I'm not demanding you prick. It's not my fault I'm bored. Hey Georgina after work did you want to get a drink with me?" I swivel around in the chair to look at Georgina my next starting to hurt, "We can celebrate the first day and all that crap." I place my feet back up on the desk leaning forward; I grab my ankles and give her my best puppy dog look.

"Yeah sure, got nothing better to do, at least I have something exciting to look forward to than staring at a door that's not gonna open unless it's one of us shit head walking threw it. Are we staying open all day or just too three today?" I thought about for about two seconds before I replied.

"Three definitely, I'd go bat shit crazy if I had to stay till five. Trey you gonna come?"

"Someone has to watch you two crazy women. I've seen when you drink Raven and it's not pretty." I scoffed at him "I do not".

Georgina just laughs and walks out with an I'll be right back.

Finally three comes around and you guessed it, no customers.

I grabbed my bag and walked to Treys office and lent against the wall and crossed my ankles while I watched him type away at the computer.

"Stop staring Raven, what do you want?" I smiled and walked in and sat on the corner of his desk.

He looked up at me and smiled "ready to go? It's three and I've had enough boredom for one day?"

He leans back in his chair and stretches. "Yeah let me close this up I'll meet you at the front, give me five."

I get up and pat him on the head and walk to the door grabbing Georgina on the way.

We make our way to the nearest pub and find a table near the back. The last couple of years I have learnt to observe a room without making it noticeable. You can never trust someone to not stab you in the back, like a few people Trey and I have met over the years.

Trey come back with a beer for all of us - if your wondering how we're drinking under age, you can thank Trey and his fake ID's - I take a good mouthful and lean back and sigh. "Man that's good, I so needed that".

Trey looks at me and smiles so I glare, cause I can.

Georgina laughs at looks to Trey and myself "to our first day and many to come, may you be so busy that you wish for this day again". We all laugh and cheer along with her.

"So do you really think this is going to work, I really need something to do, maybe tomorrow I'll go around to the shops and ask if I can leave some business cards at there counter." I look over at Trey and Georgina hopeful. I really do mean it when I say I really need something to do, I need my mind of the guys.

Just as I thought that I looked up and saw a man walk in with a beautiful blond haired women on his arm, I did a double take and swore in Greek - I like to change up my swearing in different languages - I quickly asked Georgina to swap seats with me and dropped my head into the table.

I heard Trey then swear as well, knowing he must have had a look to see why I was acting like a crazy person.

Because at that current time in walked a one and only Mr Owen Blackbourne
