“Hello America, a couple of weeks ago I've been trying to get busy bee, Soraya Wayne on our show and it hasn't been easy. Alas, we've been able to get her own the show today, help me welcome the prettiest, hardworking CEO and oh, the bachelorette of Jersey City, Soraya Wayne." Cecelia Vega called as Soraya strutted into the show like a model on a runway. She smiled and waved to her audience as she took her seat.
“Hey, Cecelia." She greeted.
“Soraya, you look stunning." Cecelia complimented.
“I always do, but thanks by the way." She grinned.
“Of course you do, so tell us why is it so hard to get to you. We almost gave up you know?" Vega said.
“As a successful woman, I'm mostly busy and so getting to me is quite difficult. Some people wait months to actually see me or have them in their show, so count it lucky that I'm on this show today." She bragged.
“Okay, to the reason you're here today, we've noticed you don't have a man in your life and that you only do one night stands. Some people believe you have a secret relationship with, Zed your handsome driver." She stated.
“It seems people have kept tabs on me for a while now, I feel like a superstar." She said.
“Not there yet, you're just a celebrity." Vega cut her off making her audience laugh.
“Anyways, um, I don't have time for men and their drama, when I want some D, I just walk into a club with my best friend and then we have some and I'm good to go. For Zed, well I'm not going out with him, but who knows I might get a piece of him. If you understand what I mean." She winked at Vega.
“I see, so basically Soraya doesn't see herself dating Zed but she would love to have some fun with him when she's tired she moves on to another," Vega added fairly grinning at Soraya.
“Exactly," Soraya confirmed.
"That will be all for today, on Good morning America next week we would be hosting the fashion Icon, Freya. Stay safe." Cecelia said as the show ended.
“Thank you for honouring our invitation, it was fun having you on set," Vega added as she walked with Soraya.
“Anytime Vega, see you soon." She said walking to her car.
“Yeah, see you never," Vega said to herself as she walked into the building.
“Did you enjoy the show?" She asked Zed whose knuckles had turned white on the steering wheel.
“Do you think men are toys that you can use and dump anytime you feel like?" He burst out.
“Yes, I do all men want is sex, so it's a win-win for us." She said seeing nothing wrong in what she said early on tv.
“Yeah, you're just a spoilt brat so that's what you would say." He murmured driving her to the company. He was in no mood for any conversations with her. He blatantly ignored her during the ride.
“We're here." He said as he got down to open her door for her as she stepped out. He avoided eye contact with her as she walked out as if she owned the whole world. He shut the door and threw the keys to the parking valet and then walked off.
Soraya was unperturbed she had hurt Zed's feelings, after all, he was just her staff and nothing more.
Maybe a sex buddy in the near future. Her mind played.
*************
"Am I falling for Zed?" Freya asked herself as she lay on the hotel bed. She had travelled out to Dubai for a conference meeting that was coming off in two days.
“I-I can't, he loves that bitch Soraya. He just sees me as his friend and nothing more." Freya said to herself.
He's everything a woman would want in a man. He's handsome, funny, kind, down to earth and hardworking. Why did he go and live that Soraya of a bitch! She doesn't care about him. Just look at what she said about him on live tv. It's best I just kept my feelings to myself, nope that's not right. I would tell him how I feel, I know he would reject me but it's better I do so.
“How come you guys are so different from your sister?" Sunny, a friend to Hailey Wayne and Keith Wayne asked as they sat at the table for lunch.
“Well, she's daddy's girl and a stuck up bitch, she gets everything she wants from daddy dearest. " Hailey said. There was just a year interval between her and her older brother Keith. He was one grade ahead of her but they hung out together most times and had mutual friends.
“She never was close to us and until now she isn't, she's just a proud bitch." Keith spat.
“I watched her interview with Vega and I loved how Vega handled her." Sunny added taking a sip from her coke.
“Incoming, Keith's bitch ass girlfriend," Hailey said as Tessy, the queen bitch and slut of their school approached. Keith just hung around her to pass time. In less than a year, he'd be done with high school and off to college. Then buh-bye Tessy.
“Hey, babe!" She pecked him on the lips.
“Hey darling," Keith added deepening the kiss.
“Get a room!" Hailey added.
“Or the janitor's closet!" Sunny said as they walked away from the table.
“See you later guys!" Keith called behind them as they waved him off.
“Now where were we?" He said to a grinning Tessy.
“You coming for the sleepover tonight?" Sunny asked.
“Of course, anything to get away from Tessy, she's coming over tonight. Mom and Dad aren't home." She told her friend as they walked to her car. Keith had practice today so he wasn't joining them home.
“I feel your pain, Hailey." Sunny teased as they sat in the car and Hailey backed out of the parking lot, speeding off and jamming to “I don't care by Bieber and Ed Sheeran."
“I'm at a party I don't wanna be at
And I don't ever wear a suit and tie, yeah
Wondering if I could sneak out the back
Nobody's even looking me in my eyes
Then you take my hand
Finish my drink, say, "Shall we dance?" (Hell, yeah)
You know I love ya, did I ever tell ya?
You make it better like that
Don't think I fit in at this party
Everyone's got so much to say (Yeah)
I always feel like I'm nobody, mm
Who wants to fit in anyway?
'Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah
