Be my G.P.S

"Hey Makena"

I might not be good at a lot of things. But I was pretty darn sure that I knew who the voice belonged to even before I turned around.

Without any hint of surprise on my face, I greeted, "Hi Corban" as politely as possible. Making sure to wear a bright smile.

"Good day.", My smile seemed to have encouraged him because he also threw a smile of his own at me. I don't know why but I couldn't find it to be charming.

Charming or not, I acknowledged him with a courteous nod, "To you too."

"Jacob didn't come today?" I saw his eyes discreetly scan my working space before settling on the purse in my hand.

Aha!! I knew he preferred Jacob. Honestly, I can't blame the guy, I was the one who broke his phone and bolted away like a deer. Not to mention that he was also there to witness my speech. Can't blame him at all.

What I wanted to say was, "Sorry dude, I can't fit him into my purse. Although, I won't mind trying."

But I felt it would be a little bit too weird, even for me. So I sounded more sensible by saying, "No, he decided to stop giving me free rides so I called a taxi instead."

Yes, Jacob finally decided to stop giving me free rides. Today, he decided to spend time with his girlfriend rather than be my chauffeur. The audacity of that man!!!

Corban's lips tugged up to form a knowing smirk, "You use him for free rides?"

"Usually, I pay in form of food", And it was a very good arrangement. Corban didn't get it so I explained to further, "Jacob loves food. But, he went on a diet and would no longer be bribed with my interesting meals."

Corianne encouraged him to go on a diet because he eats way too much junk. And because he loves his girlfriend, I got shoved to the back. What a sad life.

There was still that smirk on Corban's face even as he cocked his head while asking, "Interesting?"

"Let's just say I have an interesting taste in food"

Usually, I try not to talk about it in order not to scare people away. Especially with my bosses.

Corban smiled to himself like he was sharing an inside joke, "I won't be surprised."

"Anyway," Scratching the back of my neck, I cocked my head, "What brings you to my little corner today?"

"Well, Jotham needs a document."

"The one we signed? Why can't he print it out since it was digitally signed?"

Surely, he understands how emails and files work. Rather than stress every other person involved.

"No, not that one." Corban shook his head a bit vehemently, "The NDA slip."

The NDA {Non-disclosure Agreement} slip, the one I signed stating that the agreements between both parties {Makena Anderson and The Wrights} will remain confidential.

It's not like I was planning on telling the whole world that I now work for Jotham Wright {Although, although I am tempted sometimes.}, I guess it's a necessary procedure.

Anywho, "Oh, that. It's at home."

"I need it today." Corban said stiffly, avoiding my eyes, "I have to submit it to Jotham along with some other documents before the dusk of the day."

"Surely, you don't expect me to go home and still come back," I said as a matter of factly, although I couldn't help but add a joke... "I can assure you that if I leave here, I'll be having a date with my bed until tomorrow."

It isn't a complete joke if it's true. From the moment I got out of bed this morning, I could hear sleep calling my name. And I can't wait to answer that call!!

A puzzled expression went alongside his words, "That's comforting to hear?"

He ended up sounding like a question as though he didn't quite know what to make of me.

"Most certainly to me!! Besides, why didn't you tell me earlier? Haven't you heard of emails, calls, or texts?"

"It skipped my mind."

At least, he had to decency to look sheepish.

"That's sad." Most especially for me. "But, I really don't want to go home and still come back. Please don't make me do it."

Corban might be the guy whose phone I smashed, the guy who watched my embarrassing video, but he was still my boss. I'm pretty sure if he insisted that I went home to bring the document I wouldn't have any other options. So, don't be too surprised that I begged instead.

Taking a few seconds to glance around, he asked out of the blue, "You were planning on taking a taxi home right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"How about this, I'll drive you home, you'll give me the files, and you don't have to come back."

"Really?" My scrutinizing gaze stared him down, "Do I need to bribe you with food too?"

Who knows? Maybe that's a normal thing with the male gender around here.

"Not really. Although, I won't mind if you feel the need to."

"Are you doing this to get the documents on time, or because you want to know the way to my house?"

Don't mind my interrogation, please.

"Why would I want to know your address?" He scrunched his nose as though it was the worst possible idea.

Ignoring the blush on my cheek... "Maybe to show up one day and drag me out of bed if I'm late for work. Who knows?"

"Don't worry, I won't be dragging you out of bed any time soon."

"That's great because I really love my beauty sleep."

All I did was shrug and have a straight face, but Corban's shoulders started to shake from excessive laughter.

I simply stared and blinked while he got the laughter out of his system.

When I hoped he was done, his eyes peered at me as he said, "I can't believe you kept a straight face. I think you're too blunt for your own good."

"Won't be the first time I'll be hearing it."

"There's no shock there. Anyways, are you ready to leave?"

"Yes please," I said a little bit too excitedly. Well, anything to get out of here. I'm beyond tired.

"Okay then, kindly be my navigator."

Ladies and gentlemen, that was how I found myself doing the work of a G. P. S for thirty minutes.

I mean... Who needs google maps when you have me?
