Love Is Sweeter The Second Time Around
Morning, (Phone’s ringing) Ring ring…
Anne: Hello.. (With cracking voice)
Joy: The hell happened to you? Ignoring my calls now?
Joy is Anne’s childhood friend, also a famous model in Italy.
Anne: hmm…
Joy: What was that? Gosh Anne, don’t tell me you cried again. Is that what you're gonna do all day? Cry and cry. When are you gonna stop crying? Until you cry with blood? Keep it together Anne that’s not who you are. You know what call me when you decided to stop being dumb.
Anne ended the call and saw herself in the mirror “Joy is right. This is not who I am, this is the second time that I’ve been broke and I kinda miss this pain, it’s been awhile since I felt this.”
“Wait, what is the date today?” Asking herself, she didn’t know the date because she locked herself in her room for 2 days, looking at her phone’s calendar “Shoot grandma’s birthday is tomorrow ” she looked herself in the mirror again and said, “get your shit together Anne Smith it’s just a man, move on.”
After that she got ready and asked her driver to go to her company. She is the famous designer and also a daughter of a gang leader. She is trying to keep her profile low because of her dad’s enemies. There’s a secret door in her company that only her and close to her can enter, anyone in the company doesn't know who she is except her PA.
PA: Welcome back Ms. Smith
Anne: Bring the paper works that I missed when I’m gone and give me a cup of coffee.
“Yes Miss,” her PA said and left. She was doing her work at her laptop until she got a call from her father.
Anne: Yes father?
Mrs. Smith: How have been? Decided to work again? I told once that…
(She interrupted her father and said)
Anne: Father, I know you don’t have to scold me over and over again. Is this why you called me?
Mrs. Smith: I’m not. I’m just reminding you sweetheart anyhow, I called you because your grandma wants you to go back home for her birthday tomorrow.
Anne: Okay. (Call ended)
Her PA knocks on the door and enters with a cup of coffee and some paper works “Miss Smith, mam Joy is here” Her PA said. Let her in, Anne said and her PA bowed and left. A minute later Joy enters her office.
Joy: Why didn’t you call me back? (While hugging her)
Anne: (Hugs her back) I’m sorry. You look beautiful, are you going somewhere?
Joy: (breaks the hug) WE ARE going somewhere c’mon it’s been a while.
To where? Anne asked Joy while pulling her hand out of her office. Secret, Joy said. Anne just followed her and just smiled “I’m so grateful to have her in my life” Anne said in her head.
Inside Joy’s car, Anne texted her driver telling him to not wait for her while in other hand Joy texting Ethan, their other friend. Ethan is famous because he owned most of the car company in Italy. Joy and Anne met Ethan back in high school they used to hate each other but Ethan once saved Joy when she almost got kidnapped and after that they all got each other's backs.
Anne: Where are we going? I need to go back early for grandma’s birthday tomorrow.
Joy: We got you. Ethan is already in there so stay back and relax.
5 mins. Later they arrived at the bar and in there Ethan was waiting for them. There was a long *** line, the bar was so famous that all people wanted to get in. “What took you guys so long? I’ve been standing here for almost half an hour” Ethan complained.
Joy: Why here? There’s too much people here
Anne: Why are so many people in here (annoyed)
Ethan: This bar just opened 2 weeks ago and it’s already famous. I heard a lot about it and one of our... I mean my friend is actually the owner, so he invited me. Of course you wouldn’t know cause your too busy being a fool (looking at Anne)
When Anne was about to defend herself Joy just smack Ethan right in his head (Smack) “Shut your *** up” Joy told him. “AHHHHHHH, that hurts” Ethan crying with pain and Anne just laughing at him. “Are you done acting? If so let’s go in” Anne said to Ethan. Ethan told the lady his name and guided them into the VVIP room. Inside the room there’s already a refrigerator full of expensive liquor and wine.
