The Proud Boss Lady.

“Hails!' Keith called as he entered the house.

“In the kitchen!" She answered. Her parents came back for a few seconds and they were off to another business trip. It wasn't the first time, but all she wanted was for them to doesn't quality time with them as a normal family did.

I guess that ain't happening soon. She thought to herself as Keith entered the kitchen with a handsome young man. He was 6'3ft tall, he had a broad chest and shoulders. He was a brunette and gid hair was messy as if it wasn't long ago he had a shower. He was built, but not too built like the gym addicts who were too muscular for her liking.

And when he smiled she felt her insides tickle.

“Hailey!" Keith called out startling her.

“What?" She asked as she checked to see if her mac and cheese was burning but Sunny had got it.

“Stop drooling over Lex!!" He raised his voice.

“What if I don't want to?" She found herself asking.

“Whatever." He puffed and walked towards his girlfriend.

“Hey," Lex spoke for the first time since he stepped in.

“Hello, so you're Keith's roommate?" She asked handing him a glass of juice.

“Yes, and best friend." He told.

“Keith, I thought I was your bestie?" She dramatically said.

“Oh, come on, you'd live a guy needs a male best friend," Keith answered as they laughed it out.

“Hi," Freya said as she entered Zed's coffee shop. She had helped him get some stuff for the shop and he got the rest from the savings he had. Freya had introduced him to some investors and they were happy to invest in his little business that had been his dream for a while now. He was still a part-time Uber driver, he drove on occasions when the shop wasn't too busy.

"Hey." Zed hugged her.

“How's work?" She asked as he served her hot chocolate with mushrooms floating at the top and a plate of chocolate muffins.

“It's going well, I've been able to hire three people to help me around this place." He smiled sitting before her.

“That's great to hear, I'm happy for you." Freya gushed.

“Thank you, you made it possible." He grinned.

“How is the collection coming up?" He queried.
