" MAYA LANG! " Evelyn screamed at the top of her voice, ignoring the attention she got from the onlookers. " Get your ass right here, now! " Evelyn yelled still marching towards her.
Maya initially pretended not to hear Evelyn screech.
" I know you can hear me, don't even think of it! " Evelyn snarled.
Maya realized she couldn't ignore Evelyn's rage, " Okay... okay, " She stuttered.
" Stay right there, " Evelyn wanted to make sure she didn't loose sight of her.
" Hey, calm down... I can explain. " Maya tried to get away.
" I'm gonna fucking kill you bitch! don't move! " Evelyn's fingers were already clenched.
Maya didn't know wether to be terrified or amused, maybe she was a mixture of both.
" Evelyn listen to__
Evelyn finally covered the distance between the both of them, she gripped Maya by her ponytail as she dragged her inside the lady's room.
Evelyn began with a vein visible on her forehead, " What the hell__
" Hey, calm down... " Maya tried to calm her down.
" I'm calm! " No, she wasn't.
" You don't look calm, "
" Well, I'm trying to! " Evelyn yelled.
" Evelyn__
" What the hell happened? " Evelyn was furious.
" I'm really sorry about what happened, it was mistake, I PROMISE. "
" Did you know what you put me through? "
Maya knew Evelyn was upset but she never expected her to react this way." I'm sorry, okay? Would you chill for a second? "
" Of course you are, you have NO IDEA what I had to go through. "
" I know I fucked up, I didn't mean to. I made you have a sleepover with mommy but... it's not like I did worse than that.
" Oh really? "
Maya evaded Evelyn's eyes, it only made matters worse if she attempted to look at her.
Evelyn took a deep breath and proceeded to narrate the painful events of her previous day in a detailed form.
" Holy shit, " Maya whispered.
" What did you say about not doing anything worse? " Evelyn squinted.
" I'm sorry, "
" Where were you? " Evelyn asked.
" I told you, my side-job. "
" What is it? " Evelyn wanted to know.
Maya hesitated, " You know I can't tell you that. "
Evelyn didn't expect to be surprised at Maya's reply, but somehow she still was. " Why? I went through shit for you and you can't tell me? what the hell? "
" Evelyn listen__
" No! I'm sick of you keeping things from me, "
" But it's my life! " Maya didn't mean to yell but she did anyway. " It's my life. "
Evelyn nodded, " You're right. "
Maya regretted her harsh response right away, " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I just can't tell you... it's not like you'll be willing to do it anyway. "
" Who said so? Do you think I love this bullshit job? "
Maya gave Evelyn a hysterical look, " You love this bullshit job, it's basically your life. "
Evelyn couldn't deny it.
" Which is good, " Maya stated, " Your promotion exam is today right? "
" Don't make this about me, you fucked up. "
" I know... "
" Gabriel called. " Evelyn's voice softer now.
Maya was suddenly calm, " So? what did you tell him? "
" Relax, I told him exactly what you told me to, but... "
" But... but what? "Maya's voice shook as she asked.
" I don't think he bought it. "
" Why would you say that? "
" It's just a feeling, whatever it is, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. Can't say the same for Gabriel, he doesn't deserve it. "
" I__
They both flinched as they heard a sound come from one of the restrooms.
Exchanging concerned glances, they paused staring at where the sound came from. As they expected, the door opened Alexa walked out. Maya let out a sigh of disgust and Alexa cat-walked right past them and proceeded to wash her hands. Evelyn knew all too well who Alexa was, she was like a thorn in her sight. Alexa was the pure depiction of high-school mean girls.
She was pretty of course, good at her job, and very popular that alone got on Evelyn's nerves. She knew Alexa harbored ill feelings towards her, who was she kidding? She harbored ill feelings towards her too. She was convinced that Alexa was patiently laying waiting for her to screw up or make one mistake and use it against her. She knew that because that was also her aim.
" Don't mind me, I'm just passing by. " Alexa replied with a smile.
" You little__
" Maya, " Evelyn stopped Maya before she said anything she wasn't supposed to. " Hi, Alexa. "
" Hi, Evelyn. " Alexa answered walking out of them.
Both Maya's and Evelyn's eyes were fixed on Alexa.
" Oh, " Alexa paused, " If you're done with whatever it is you're doing, I just wanted to remind you that we have promotion exams to take. "
Evelyn reluctantly nodded smiling, " Yes... "
Alexa smiled right back and exited.
" She irks me. " Maya lamented.
Evelyn sighs, " Yeap. "
" Why do you have to put up with her though? "
" I don't know, there's just something about her that interests me. "
Maya chuckled, " Let me guess, your J guts and nudges? "
" You can say that. "
Maya saw Evelyn's broken phone in her hands, " I'll get you a new phone. "
Evelyn's attention was captured, " What? "
" Yeah, you heard me. " Maya smiled.
Evelyn knew Maya was trying to buy her happiness and it was working, " Still__
" And, I got a surprise for your anniversary tomorrow. "
Okay, that was it, Evelyn was mesmerized. Her eyes lit up. " You do? What is it? "
" Hold your horses, I've been seeing how you've been struggling this past few weeks and I had a perfect idea. "
Evelyn wanted to know what it was, " You're killing me here. "
" Make sure you ace that exams and show that Alexa bitch who's boss. "
Evelyn was smiling now, " You know I will, hey I heard the boss is around. "
" I heard that too, I hear he's really handsome. " Maya whispered.
" I gotta go, " Evelyn rushes over to the door and paused, she turned over to Maya giving her a stiff look.
" What is it? " Maya asked.
Evelyn walked over to her, " Give me the fucking keys. "
