Serenity~

The room was a mess, coffee mugs all over the place. Scraps of paper scattered all over the floor. Serenity mumbles to herself, twitching slightly. Since she left the office that day, she worked on the building, every idea she had, she questioned herself. Would Mr. Armstrong like it? She jumps as her phone went off, not looking to see who it was she answered. "Hello!"

"Aye! Not because you big doh mean I cyah bus' yuh mout" Her mother. (Aye! Not because you're grown doesn't mean I can't but the your mouth)

She sighs, "Sorry ma, dis ting bodering meh too much, I rel busy wit dis ting, sorry fuh answering yuh so." She spoke strongly in her accent. ( Sorry ma, this thing bothering me too much, I'm real busy with this thing, sorry for answering you so)

Her mother sighs, "You still working on dat building ting, gyul? Stop overtinking it and you draw what yuh feel nice and if he doh like it, then fuck he."( You're still working on that building thing, girl? Stop overthinking it and if he doesn't like it then fuck him) Her mother laughed on the other side of the phone. "No ma, you mad or what?" Her mother giggled. "You know I done mad so doh ask."( You already know I'm mad so don't ask)

No matter what, Serenity's mother always made her smile. "Yes boss lady." She told her mother, "Done know! I go call you back chile, your fada trying to bun de house down." (You already know! I'll call you back, child, your father trying to burn the house down) she hung up. Serenity shook her head going back to work. She knew her mother was right, she needed to stop and think properly. She knew what she had to do. Serenity sketched the building not having second thoughts on it. She loved it and that's what mattered right now, her own opinion.

Today is the day, she stood behind the door, it was time to show him what she had made. With shaky hands she knocks. "Come in" His voice made her melt. She could hear his voice over and over again and still wouldn't get tired of it. Serenity opened the door, "Hello sir, I have the-" But she was cut off. "Let me see it" She gulped pulling it out her bag placing it on the desk

August~

He got the his office early that day, he couldn't wait! He paced nonstop for an hour, thinking about the mess that woman probably did. He upset himself over absolutely nothing. Then a knock was heard. With the calmest voice he spoke, "Come in." 

She walked in looking beautiful as ever. "Hello sir, I have the-" He cuts her off. He wasn't about the small talk. "Let me see it"

He heard the paper slide unto his desk and he picked it up, his eyes on hers. Then he looked at it.

"What the fuck!"

It was perfect, better than what he imagined it to be. She got details right, everything. Women aren't so bad after all. He looks at her, she was shaking. "You came through, Priddie, good job, tomorrow after the presentation, you will get your check, I approve of it but the other have to as well. Then we can talk about the graphic desings." She looked relieved. "Thank you so much, sir."

His eyes travlled her body once more. He wanted her badly. "You can leave now, Ms. Priddie." She got her things and left the office then Trey walked in. "Dude mama is at it again!" Confused, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"She is gonna have the family over the day after the presentation and her friends have daughters..." He trailed off and he caughton groaning. "I'm not gonna marry any of her friend's daughters just to please her." Trey nods. "What are you gonna do then? You can't avoid it." Auguat sat, leaning back on his chair. "Leave that to me, I'll figure something out."

His brother looked at him, "Don't do something you might regret at the end." August laughed.

"Trust me, I will."
