IT’S NORMAL TO BE UGLY, BUT I HAVE FEELINGS.

He saw that Benjamin was sad and tried to comfort his friend.

_Calm down Benjamin, don’t be like that!

_Why did he do that Paola? Am I that boring that someone doesn’t want to go out with me?

_No Benjamin, don’t be like this because of Art, he doesn’t deserve your tears.

_I’m tired Paola. Of people treating me like that. I just want some fun.

_Well Benjamin, I also wanted to leave, but you know, we don’t even have a car, you now have a good job and can buy a car. Now I…

_You’re right Paola, with the money I’m earning I can change my style and buy a car. And there’s one more thing.

Benjamin stood up wiping his tears and said.

_I’m not going to keep crying Paola. That idiot Art is going to pay me. But now you’re going to help me with something.

_What buddy?

_I need to finish a job and if I do well in this job I can get the position of Executive in the company and my salary will be higher. I even have the possibility of choosing a secretary and that’s where you come in. Paola.

_Swear Benjamin? Will you hire me as your secretary? Dude tell me what do I have to do?

_Since it didn’t work out for us to go out at night, let’s put our nerd brains to work my friend. Help me with this work that I need to deliver on Monday. You help me ?

_Of course Benjamin, you can count on me!

_So close the door and let’s get our hands dirty.

_But first Benjamin, is there one thing?

_ What?

_Can I call your mother to bring us a snack?

_ Are you serious Paola? Do you want to eat now?

_ Of course, I need to renew my strength, your mother said she would bring popcorn.

Benjamin’s mother ends up coming in bringing popcorn and two sandwiches, when Paola sees it, he gets super excited.

_ Now yes, Ms. Supassit, you read my mind, come on Benjamin, let’s get to work.

_ She read your stomach, right Paola, mom, thanks for the snack, Paola and I are going to work now.

_ It’s okay, darling, don’t stay too late working, rest ok, call me for anything.

_ You can leave, Mrs. Leroy, when I’m hungry I’ll call you.

_ But Paola, your stomach doesn’t have a bottom, you just eat, that way you’ll gain weight.

_ Dude, do you see this six-pack here, these biceps.

Paola showed off the six-pack he had been training for over six months and I had to agree, besides Paola being my friend, he was very handsome and took care of himself, I don’t know where Paola managed to get such a body to be envied, the guy I ate a lot and still didn’t gain weight. She told him he was lucky, that’s what.

_ My body is a sacred temple, I know how to eat well, my love. You should learn from me, come on, Ms. Leroy, give me this snack.

_ Ok, eat whatever you want, but come help me here at work.

_ Come on, show me.

So I showed the company’s entire work plan, the spreadsheets where the calculations were wrong, and Paola also understood finances very well, he had gone to college with me together, but hadn’t gotten a good job yet. But I promised him if I got the Executive position I would hire him as my secretary.

_ Look at these numbers Paola, it’s no wonder that Armand is losing customers, don’t you agree?

I looked back and saw Paola sitting on my bed, devouring her snack.

_ Paola! Are you still eating? Help me here man.

_ I’ll be right there Benjamin, wow, you should take a break and eat the snack your mother made, it’s delicious.

_ I’m going to eat, but look at this. What do you think ?

_ Hmm, these numbers are strange, given the company’s capital, profits should be higher, don’t you think?

_ You’re right Paola, and now that I’m thinking about it, my handsome boss gave me a very important document for me to keep, Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, I think I left it in my briefcase. Wow, I need to save it later.

_ Where is he, is he there with you?

_ Yes Paola, but I will not open, I would not do that with Mr. Oliver.

_ But aren’t you curious to see what’s in that document?

_ Oh! It must be some contract, I won’t open Paola. Well, look, I’m almost done.

_ Okay, I won’t talk anymore, well damn it’s almost two in the morning.

_ Well, let’s continue.

After a few hours, I finally managed to finish the job and looked at the clock it was almost seven in the morning. When I get scared.

_ Benjamin!

– Daddy oh, hi, good morning!

_ Son, are you still awake?

_ Yes daddy, I didn’t even sleep.

_ And what is Paola doing here in your room, and still in your bed?

Paola was so tired working on the bills that he ended up sleeping in my bed, and to make matters worse he took off his t-shirt and slept hugging my sheets.

_ Dad, he’s just sleeping, poor thing he helped me with my work and couldn’t take it.

_ I don’t want to know Benjamin, Paola and you sleeping together?

_ Daddy for love right, I’m not sleeping with him, it’s Paola, my brother friend.

_ I don’t want to know Benjamin, no man will sleep in my son’s bed, only when you get married, you are a family man, huh Paola you fhuh Paola you baggy wake up.

_ Ahh mother, bring me coffee in bed.

Benjamin’s father knew how much Paola was, and he almost pulled his ears.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

_ Paola! Wake up, boy !

_ Oh hi mister Leroy, good morning, sorry I ended up sleeping.

_ Get out of my son’s bed and wear a shirt, stay there showing that belly out.

_ Oh sure, sorry mister Leroy.

_ Right, and finish right there and go down to have coffee.

_ Thank you, Mr. Leroy.

_ Ok dad, we’re going down.

_ Benjamin, wow I ended up sleeping, sorry did you finish what was missing?

_ Of course Paola, I finished, you helped me even when you slept there, but thank you, tomorrow I’ll be able to present the work, I’ll even save it on this CD and on the pen drive so I don’t forget.

_ So blz, I’m going to wash my face and go down to have breakfast, I’m starving.

_ Again Paola? Wow, you are fire.

_ Of course my friend, I need to maintain this sexy body.

_ Only you my friend.

On Monday morning.

I was eager to show my work to Oliver and Armand, I was happy, I had coffee and got ready, putting on my plaid bow tie. I took my briefcase and said goodbye to my mother and father.

_ Have a good day my son.

_ Thank you mom. Bye daddy.

_ Bye son, good job, your father is off today.

_ Enjoy then daddy, rest.

And I left carrying my folders heading to the bus stop.

_ Damn I’m going to be late, look at this traffic.
