RED

chapter 1

"I hate you Maddi"
"I love u too darling"Maddi says to me
" you woke me up by 6am when the interview is by 8! I need my beauty sleep!"
"Your gonna need much more sleep to cure this"she says pulling at my red long hair that's a mess. "And if I hadn't you wouldn't be ready to hit the road by 7:30 and now all that's left is to take care of that". She says pulling my hair again.

Satisfied with my top bon finally pinning down my wild curls, I pick out a casual top and jeans and throw on a blazer, when I walk over to Maddi for confirmation she shakes her head disapprovingly at my version of an office attire.

"Hell no!, your not wearing that, I'll be back".
'I'm doomed'.

A few minutes 'felt like hours' later she returns with a bunch of cloths stacked up on one arm and two pairs of shoes one black flat and the other a 4 inch black office appropriate heel 'I didn't know she had an appropriate bone in her'.

"Well...? Don't just stand there try it on!" Then she thrusts the cloths to me.

After a long while of squeezing into a tight fitted skirt she grins and nods her approval at my appearance which is a royal blue gold collared corporate top tucked into red pencil skirt that hugs my small waist and wide hips with a pair of black flats. When I look at myself in the mirror maddi whistles from behind me and though I can't turn pink when I blush I still felt the heat in my cheeks.

"OK hottie you gotta go." She says just before handing me a simple black clutch bag and hurling me out the room to the living room then out the front door.

"Thanks Maddi" i say in front to the door with a toothy smile. While I'm climbing down the stairs of our apartment building i simultaneously check my phone to see its 7:40 'I can make it' I say to myself and I climb down the last stair case out the building then I realise after hailing a cab that I  forgot my CV.

"Shit!-" I say more to myself. The chubby bald headed driver that's looking at me like I killed his kid's pet monkey attempts to wait patiently for me to get in and tell him where we'll be headed"- sorry I forgot something at home" he glares at me for wasting his time and without saying a word he drives away. Luckly I don't leave too far from the road so getting another cab isn't going to be a problem so I run back to get it  but right before i walk back into the building I see my 'trusty' roommate with her head out the window, waving my CV and giving me a 'forgot something?' Look but what pisses me off is the fact that i know she has to be on my bed for her body to be so far out the window.  With determination in my eyes i fast walk into the building before climbing up the stairs 2 at a time which trust me is fucking hard to do with the tight-as-fuck skirt on but I don't care I'm determine to fucking beat her shitless for climbing my bed,  before my interview.

I finally got to the 3rd floor, our floor,  and I not as determined as I was when I started to climb. This shit is fucking stressful.

I get to the apartment front door she opens it just as my had was tiredly reaching for the handle and says:
"Forgot something?"
"Of course dumbass! God help you my bed's all crumbled up I'll kill u Maddi!" i say trying to catch my breath and she just smiles evily at me and i know ill have to kill her but not now am too tired.
"Bet you wont" she says in a sing song 10 year old girl voice while handing me my CV and I snatch it from her trying to control my breathing. Just before I turn to start my journey down the stairs I glare at her but I turn back to her again and lift both my hands up
"Sweat stains?" I ask she laughs and shakes her head a 'no' before slamming the door shut.
