It's Hard to Make It Look Easy

Ch.1

"Thank you for calling Haley's Massage Palace, this is Breanna, how may I help you?" I asked answering the phone

"Hello Breanna could I make an appointment?"

"Of course you can, I'll just need your name and the time your coming in" I said

"My name is Lily Davis and do you think I could get in Friday?"

"Ok Lily let me check to see if we have any open spots for that day" I said checking on the computer

"It looks like we have a spot open for 3:00pm, is that ok?" I asked

"Yes that would be fine"

"Alright Lily, see you here Friday at 3" I said

"Ok, thank you"

"Not a problem, have a nice day"

"You too" I then hung up the phone

I then started typing the information on the computer. A couple of minutes later someone came in and came to the desk, so I stopped typing and looked up

"Yes ma'am, how can I help you?"

"I think I have an appointment today" she said

"Alright, What's your name?"

"Claire Wilson"

I looked on the computer to check

"It looks like you have an appointment today Claire, if you don't mind sitting down the next available person will get to you"

"Thank you"

"Not a problem" I said and she went to sit down with the other people that were there.

About 20 minutes later the people that were waiting were in the back getting massages, so that left me and my co-worker Rachel in the front

"Hey, Bri, do you want to go out for lunch today?" she asked looking at me

"I don't have any arrands to run during lunch today, so I'm game" I said looking at her

"Alright, well lets go" she said getting up

I got up and followed her out the door, we got in our cars and drove to Applebee's. While I was driving to Applebee's there was a song that came on that made me think about my ex, I wanted to cry but I didn't want Rachel to worry when we got there, so I held it in. When we arrived we got out of our cars and went inside and took our seats.

"So, Bri what are you doing after work?" Rachel asked me

"Well Rachel, I'm going to go home and search for a new job" I said nervously because I knew how she was going to react

"What, Why? Don't you like working at Haley's?"

"I do like working there Rachel, it's just that I've been there for 4 years and I would like to do what I'm good at" I said

Just then the waiter came to our table

"What can I get you ladies today?" he said looking at me

"I would like an Ice tea" Rachel said

"And I would like a water please" I said

"I'll be right back with your drinks" he said winking at me and walked away

Oh brother, we got a flirtacious waiter, and he likes me I thought

"Well it looks like someone's got a crush on you" Rachel said

"He can crush on me all he wants but he's not going to get me" I said

He then came back with our drinks, while he put our drinks down he 'accidently' touched my hand with the top of his hand

"Sorry about that, are you ladies ready to order?"

Yeah, I would like a chicken salad" I said not looking at him so he could get the hint I wasn't interested

"And I will have the cheeseburger" Rachel said

"Alright I'll get the order in" he said taking our menus and walking off

"So Bri, what are you good at?"

"Believe it or not I'm excellent in video editing and photography" I answered looking at her

"Really? Where did you learn that?"

"I went to a community college and took video editing classes and photography"

"Wow, so you're going to lok for a job that has something to do with that?"

"Yeah, that's why I want a job with video editing or photography because I feel like I took those
classes for nothing if I don't have a job that uses them"

"Well, I'm glad that you want to do something that you're good at, I hope you find a job like that"

"Thanks"

Then our food came and we ate. After we were done eating the waiter gave us our bill and we paid the bill and got up to leave. Rachel was infront of me and someone said from behind me

"Here's my number"

I turned around and it was the waiter

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm not interested in you, and if I come here again and you touch me again I'll have a word with your manager so he can keep you on a short leash, now have a wonderful afternoon" I said turning around and walking out the door.

"What took you so long?" Rachel asked when I got outside

"The waiter tried giving me his number, but I turned him down politely" I said

"Wow, he really likes you"

"Well, hopefully he won't anymore" I said and we got into our cars and drove back to work.

The rest of the day went by pretty fast and before I knew it it was time to go home. When I arrived home my 3 year old toy fox terrier greeted me at the door

"Hey Bella, were you a good girl?" I asked happily
she barked happily

"Go potty Bella" I said and she ran out the door to do her business

I went into the kitchen and put some dog food into her bowl and she came running back inside and ate it. I went back into the livingroom and shut the door and went back into the kitchen to cook me something to eat. Once I got done cooking and eating I washed the dishes and got on the computer to find a job.

"Lets see, help wanted at a dare care, a department store, a doctor's office, golf course, Need video editor and photographer, radio intern, wait, video editor and photographer" I said going back to the previous one I named

I clicked on it and it read

'Looking for someone that is excellent in video editing and photography, that is willing to travel, and work long hours, if interested e-mail your resume to GAChq.travelchannel.com'
So I e-mailed them my resume, then I got up and turned on the radio and played fetch with Bella.

While playing fetch with Bella that song that I heard earlier came on and I thought about my ex again

FLASHBACK 3 years ago

It was a hot summer day and we spent the whole day together laughing and talking. He then dropped me off at my house and said he would be back later, he gave me a kiss and left, so I sat on the couch watching T.V and waited for him to come back. About an hour later there was a knock on my door so I got up and answered it and there he was with a smile on his face. I raised my eyebrow and said

"What's going on?"

"Well, we've been together for 3 years now, so I got you alittle something" he said leaning down and picking up a box and handed it to me

"You didn't have to buy me anything" I said taking the box and we walked inside and sat on the couch

"I know, but I wanted to to" he said

I opened the box and in the box was a toy fox terrier puppy

"She's adorable, thank you" I said taking her out of the box

"Not a problem, what are you going to name her?" he said

"I'll call her Bella" I put her down on the floor and she ran around

"Since you got me a puppy, I could at least make you a dinner for our 3 year anniversary" I
suggested

"You don't have to" he said

"To late I am" I said getting up and going into the kichen to make dinner.

Once I was done making dinner he left to go home and me and Bella went upstairs and went to sleep. A couple of days later he came to my house

"Bri, we need to talk"

No, this isn't happening, please don't let this be happening I thought

"What is it?" I asked already knowing the answer

"You know I love you, but I have to leave California, I've got a job offer and I took it"

"I understand" I said with a tear rolling down my cheek

"Bri don't cry, you know I hate seeing you cry" he said wiping the tear away

"Will you at least come and visit every once and a while?" I asked looking at him

"This job will keep me busy, but I'll try, don't forget that I'll always love you" he said hugging me tight and giving me one last kiss before he left

And that was the last time I saw him.

END of FLASHBACK

I then turned off the radio and me and Bella went to bed. The next morning I was woke up and took a shower, then let Bella outside. My phone started ringing so I answered it

"Hello"
"Hello, is Breanna Collins available"
"This is she"
"Well hello Ms. Collins, this is Walter and we recieved your resume, and we like what we see on your resume, would you like to set up an interview?"
"I would love to"
"Good, are you able to make it to Las Vegas?"
"Yes I am"
"Ok, how about Thursday at noon?"
"That sounds good"
"Alright I'll see you then, bye"
"Bye"

I then hung up the phone and called work

"Hello, Haley's Massage Palace, this is Rachel, how may I help you?"
"Hey Rachel, it's me, listen I can't come in for a few days I've got an interview tomorrow and it's out of state"
"Bri, I'm so happy for you, if you get the job, who's keeping your house?"
"You will, you've helped me so much and I know you've had some hard times, so if I get this job you can have the house" I said
"Thank you Bri, I've got to go"
"Alright, I'll tell you how it turned out"

We hung up and I called my brother

"Hello"
"Hey Travis, could I stay at your house a few days, I've got an interview in Vegas tomorrow"
"Of course you can Bri, what's the job?"
"It's video editing and photography"
"I bet you get the job right on the spot"
"Don't jynx it Travis"
"So when you coming?"
"Later today, I'll tell you when I'm in Vegas"
"Ok, get packing"

We hung up and I started packing for Vegas.
