Agh! It’s so cool to open your eyes in your own place.
The cat comes and rub her small body into Ara’s face.
Ara
I know I know you’re hungry… I am hungry too.
Ara
There’s nothing here savannah, we should go to the grocery.

No savannah, this time we’re not gonna steal anything, we have our own money.
She grabs her wallet and the keys and she went outside of her tiny apartment.
Ara

Ara

He pointed with his finger.
Ryle

Ara
He’s our neighbour, and he gave me his number.
Ara
I know you don’t give a shit about it you just want your food..
Ara
Take, selfish cute meatball.
Savannah starts to eat while Ara is preparing her breakfast.
Ara
Well, I brought some bread and things for lunch.
Ara
I know I only brought bread for breakfast because I don’t want to waste the money.
She completed while she’s eating a piece of bread with water.
Ara
Well, I should start drawing to sell it.
Ara
Shut up, my voice isn’t that bad.
Ara

Ara

Maddy

Ara

Maddy
Look, I was scrolling through my phone.. and I found something for you.
Maddy
There’s a big company in our city that wants art designers.
Ara
You know I don’t have a degree Maddy.
Maddy
Lemme finish, they don’t reclaim any degree, you just have to take with you some drawings and you’ll take a small test.
Maddy

She ate the whole plate while watching some crime series.
Ara

Ara
Oh you’re scared. Okay okay I’ll turn it off.
Ara
Oh! Let’s send a text to mr grocery handsome.
Ara
Hello, I’m Ara your neighbour. This is my number. And thanks for the tomatoes.
Ara
Okay whatever let’s put something and go to the party.
Ara
Gurl! You didn’t tell me that’s a night club!
She took three shots as quick as she can.
Maddy
You need to have fun not to be drunk.
Ara
In my language, it’s the same.
She added more shots and went to the ground to dance.
She starts shaking her body, jumping, swinging.
She danced with every guy she could find.
Until she felt someone tall behind her, this time this dude wasn’t dancing.
She shout in his ear with a drunk voice.
Ara
What are you doinnnnn you should dance!!
Adrian
You know that’s dangerous for a cute girl like you.
She turned her small body to face him.
Adrian
You know I can take you home with me.
Ara
I would love to but my friend will kill me.
Adrian
Your friend has already gone with someone.
He grabs her wrist to the car.
Ara
Ooooo what a car… nice super nice.
Ara

Ara
And don’t you dare tell me my parents have a taste because I don’t havem.
Adrian

Ara
Ooo hahaha you’re a son of ***** I like it.
She grabs him and kisses him.
Ara

Ara

She opens her eyes in the bedroom, she was laying on the bed half ***** with some shirtless guy next to her.
Ara
Did I make it with a stranger? I don’t know!!
Ara
I can’t remember anything!
She looked at his face and gaze a little.
She puts her dress quickly and take her heels in her hands until she’s outside.
She opens her phone and she found 10 missed calls from Maddy.
Maddy

Ara

Ara

Maddy

Ara

She took a quick shower, and putted some presentable clothes and grabs her papers.
She fed the cat and took a piece of bread with her.
Ara
OMG this place is wonderful!
Yu-Jun
Hello, how can I help you?
Ara

She leds her to a room full of people.
Ara

Yu-Jun
Yes, we will only take a three.
Ara
Oh! And why’s the CEO will come himself?
Yu-Jun
He’s a perfectionist so he’ll see your work and he’ll decide who’s going to be with us.
Ara starts trembling when the door opens.

He looked around the room and he saw her.
Adrian
There’s some interesting profiles here!
She hides her face with her hands.
Adrian
So lemme have your tests, and I want for everyone to do a little presentation of what he or she drew.
She was off all the time, she couldn’t look at him.
After the end of the meeting she runs outside.
Ara
What? Are you here to let me know that my application is refused?
Adrian
Look, I don’t mix personal affairs with professional, and also I liked your work and I think you’re in.
He took a step toward her.
Adrian
But, I’m just here to make sure that you can keep secrets.
Ara
Don’t worry, it’s not my plan to expose myself.

Ara

Ryle
Your company made it amazing.
Ara
The coffee is my treat.
He was looking at her while she’s drinking her coffee, her platinum hair, her blue eyes, perfect small nose, small face, her beautiful hands, he didn’t realise when he was staring at her pink lips…
Ara

Ryle

Yu-Jun
Good morning miss Andrew, I will show you your desk.
Ara
Oh! My desk! That’s sounds great!
Yu-Jun
Haha I know right?
Ara

Ara
A drawing tablet, a desktop, some quality papers and a set of new pencils!!
Yu-Jun
Mr Greene made sure that the space work is comfortable enough for the workers.
Ara
Mr Greene? Is he the CEO?
Yu-Jun
No, that’s mr Ricci.
Yu-Jun
His father is Italian and his mother American.
Yu-Jun
Mr Greene is his best friend and the director of economic affairs such as finance and management.
Yu-Jun
I must go miss Andrew..
Ara
Nothing can ruin my day!!
Adrian
Hello miss Anderson.
Adrian
Oh I’m not talking about that night, I was talking about the desk.
She swallowed her saliva.
Adrian
It’s all Malcolm work..
Malcolm
Hello miss, I guess you’re new here.. welcome!
Ara
Ah.. yes.. thank you mr Greene.
Adrian
See!! She’s smart, she already knows your name!
Adrian
It’s miss Anderson!
Malcolm
Don’t mind him, he’s always bad at remembering names.
Ara
I guess not only that.
Ara
Oh my god! Did I said that out-loud, I apologise sir.
Malcolm
Hahahha!! I think I like you miss Andrew!
Adrian
Let’s go Malcolm we have work!
Malcolm
What? You’re upset!!
Malcolm
See you miss Andrew!
She waved back at him while she was blushing.
Ara
I never saw someone as handsome as he is.
Ryle
Hey Ara, are you free?
Ara
I’m sorry I’m at work.
Ryle
Congrats!! I’m so happy for you!
Ryle
Ara… I was thinking about what I told you last time.
Ryle
Wait… don’t tell me that now. What about eating dinner at my place. It’s my birthday and I will spend it alone if you don’t come.
Episode 3
She looked at him to realise he’s half shirtless. His beautiful body made her blush a little.
Ryle realise that she’s not comfortable around him that way.
Ryle
I’m sorry I just had a shower, lemme just wear my shirt.
She looks around the apartment. It was also small as his. But it was dark, and not decorated as if some criminal is living here.
She remembered the tattoos when he opened the door..
Ara
You told me you work at the groceries…
Ara
You study beside that, or do something?
Ryle
Mhm… you mean that no one is working at the groceries except if he doesn’t have a choice.
Ryle
If I tell you my real story you may run, and we’ll waist the dinner.
Ryle
Well, I’m orphan. I also grew up in the shelter… once I did eighteen, I got away. At that time I was young and hungry and didn’t have a place where to go. So we started, me and my friends from the shelter selling drugs.
Ryle
Days after days, months after months until we found a gang. We worked there doing their dirty job.
Ryle
One day, I was shipping some merchandise and the police caught me.
Ryle
I spent one year in the jail, I could’ve spent more but the head of the gang helped me to get a great lawyer and he paind all the fees.
Ryle
Haha if you want to run I don’t blame you.
Ara
No I won’t, but now.. are you still working for them?
Ryle
No, I’ve quit the day I got out from jail.
Ara
And they didn’t oppress you to work for them ?
Ryle
They did, actually they threatened me to go back.
Ryle
I ran away five months ago to this apartment.
Ara
I see… I’m sorry to bring that up.
Ryle
You’ll run or we’ll eat?
Ara
Food first, then maybe I’ll run away.
He laughed when his eyes weren’t laughing at all.
He looks at her and he finds her so excited.
Ryle
So what’s your story Ara.
Ara
Well… as I told you I grew up in the same place as you Ryle.
Ara
I got out also from there, I lived in the streets for weeks than I worked in a coffeeshop until I start drawing for money.
Ara
I worked in freelance, and because of it I got an apartment here.
Ara
And now I just got a job in a decent company.
Ryle
Oh wow! That’s amazing!
Ara
Ryle.. do you have a dream?
Ara
Yes, someone you wish to accomplish in your life.
Ryle
Honestly… I wish to be pianist.
Ara
Oh!! I didn’t imagine that!
Ryle
Hahaha I know.. because of my looks..
She was trying to explain otherwise.
Ryle
I know, my appearance isn’t for a pianist.
Ara
Look, I don’t know you yet as well, but you look like a good guy.
Ara
And I’m sure you can do everything you want.
Ara
You just have to take a step.
Ryle
For now, the only thing I want is you.
Ryle
You don’t want to I think.
Ara
It’s not like I don’t want to it’s just..
Ryle
You don’t need to explain, from the things humans can’t control is love.
Ryle
I’m not telling you these as if you should live me by now but you know what I’m talking about.
She sensed he was a bit stressed, she putted her hand on his and smile.
Ara
You’re a good guy Ryle.
Ara
Thank you for the dish it was delicious, I should go.
Ara
I was eating dinner with our neighbour, yes yes the hot guy.
Ara
You know what? I said no.
Ara
I don’t know Savannah, I just don’t know.
Ara
There’s nothing to do with Adrian!! For god’s sake!
Ara
He’s my CEO, plus I don’t remember anything from that night.
She grabbed her cat into her lap.
Ara
You know that I love you?
Savannah liked Ara’s face.
Yu-Jun
Hello Ara, you look tired.
Ara
Unfortunately I didn’t sleep last night.
Yu-Jun
Is there something worrying you? Are you stressed about work?
He glanced at her and smirked.
Yu-Jun
Did you say something.
Ara
I said I should start working.
Yu-Jun
Okay I’ll leave you to your desk.
Malcolm
Miss Andrew, good morning.
Ara
Good morning mr Greene.
Malcolm
You look stunning today.
Malcolm
Good luck in your work.
Ara
Thank you, you too sir.
Ara
Oh my god! He’s so handsome.
Adrian
Meet me on the roof.
Ara
From where do you have my number?
Adrian
I took it from the HR
Adrian
I’m waiting miss Anderson.
Adrian
I don’t like it when you flirt with your superiors.
Ara
What? What are you talking about?
He walked a step closer to her, until their breath was one.
She tried to take a step back but he grabbed her from her arm until her face was facing his chest.
Adrian
You know what I’m talking about.
Adrian
This is the last time, or I would do something bad.
Ara
Are you kidding me? There’s nothing between us to be jealous about that!
Adrian
Who said I’m jealous, I’m just trying to make thing professional.
Ara
Mr Ricci, please don’t lie at me.
Ara
Just confess that you liked me, that after that night I was like a drug to you.
Ara
Just have your confession that you’re addicted to me.
He frowned than he left the place.
Ara
Oh mr Greene you’re here?
Malcolm
Is Adrian disturbs you?
Malcolm
Yes, I heard you two were arguing.
Malcolm
Actually, I didn’t hear anything specific, but I wanted to check on you.
Ara
I’m good sir don’t worry..
Malcolm
You know what? I can’t leave you upset like that.. do you want to go somewhere?
