I wrote this in seventh grade, enjoy and forgive the errors.
I dedicate my book to my mom who has always stuck by my side, helping me with my stories, to Kasie West for introducing me to this amazing genre, and to my new friend Kai who helped me develop the characters and stories, making it what it is now, and for helping someone he only knew for a week. But this book is dedicated to all who read it for supporting me in my journey in writing. Now read on.

HiLow
Welcome back to my blog, Hilow. Today I met this really cute guy at my new job named Jacob. So I interviewed for the job a month ago and got a callback. The job right now is an assistant, you know fetching coffee organizing papers. My hope is that someday I’ll actually get to write!!! I know it isn’t very exciting. Okay now let’s talk about Jacob, he has brown hair that kinda sticks up. When I came in he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and beige pants. He has beautiful blue eyes. I have very boring brown eyes I mean really. As I was walking to get coffee hey said hey. I don’t think anything could happen, I mean this is the workplace if we did get together my boss could never know. Well, thanks for reading I’ll keep you updated.
Smart people with dumb problems
Today I was working and my boss told me that we were going to have a new assistant since the last one quit. I didn’t think much about till the new assistant came in. I use this phrase for rare occasions but oh my god! She was beautiful, I mean she was prettier than the girl of my dreams. I couldn’t even comprehend it. Sadly nothing could ever become of this. I mean this is my workplace, I’m at the top of my company if anyone found out I would be fired faster than you could read this paragraph. She was everything, she had dark brown eyes just like fresh soil, and just this beautiful brown hair that trailed behind her like a vail. Wow. I was in a Hawaiian t-shirt. Tomorrow here comes my blazer. I might ask her to coffee, you know to talk about work stuff. On another exciting note kingdom hearts, 3.5 comes out soon and I just finished my book about how to obtain confidence called “it’s all about you”. Later nerds I’ll keep you posted.

So, first of all, a while ago people asked why I called my blog HiLow well what happened was one time I tried to say hi and hello at the same time so it came out hilow so here we are. Now back to what you’ve been waiting for updates. So the job has been going great but I know you don’t want to hear about that so I’ll skip to the part you want to hear. Jack short for Jacob asked if I could get him coffee, I was about to go get it and he told me I misunderstood he was asking me out to coffee. I was like oh my god you’re asking me on a date he’s like no I’m asking you to work at the coffee shop with me. Strictly professional. Of course, I said yes. We’re going on Wednesday in 5 days today’s Friday. I don’t even know what he wants me to help with. I don’t know what I’m going to wear.

Hola nerd-migos, I was so astonished by my actions, I asked her out!! So this is how it went;
“Hey you” she looked back
“Me?”
“Yes I apologize I haven’t gotten your name yet”
“Oh it’s fine” she smiled “I’m Jennifer” I shook her hand
“Um could I get you a cup of coffee, I need your opinion on work odds and inns.” she started walking away. I was thinking is she rejecting me what’s happening?
“Jennifer”
“Yes”
“Where are you going?”
“I thought you wanted coffee”
“Oh you misunderstood I meant us to go to a coffee shop”
“Oh sure” her brown eyes lit up and her checks had a brush of pink
So we planned it for Wednesday I’m so excited! Later nerds, I got a “professional” date.

So it’s Thursday me and Jacob planned for lunch but we don’t have work because of Independence Day. So I have two outfits to choose from; A white sundress with sunflowers on it with brown flats and my hair in a braid with warm makeup, the other is a black cropped but not to crop just a little with a happy face on it with skinny jeans and black sandals with the makeup focused around the eyes, with my hair down but a flower in it. I’ll put it on my Instagram see what you guys say if you don’t follow it it’s @Hilowblog. Okay, it’s been about an hour it seems you guys have chosen the sundress good choice. I think I’m gonna pair it with a brown cross-body bag. Wish me luck.

So it’s Thursday and I have no idea what I’m going to talk about it’s supposed to be work stuff. I’m gonna wear one of my pink Hawaiian t-shirts and dark brown pants. I asked her out to talk about “work stuff” but there’s no stuff at work I need help with I think I’ll just show her one of the projects I’m working on maybe she can think outside of the box for me. Here goes nothing. Also, side note; I don’t care what you people think I’m gonna spell how I want to.
Hilow
The meeting *cough date *cough, excuse me, went great he asked me for advice on a project that he really needed help on Maybe since I helped him he’ll talk me up with the boss. When we were done with the project we chatted a little he seemed really nervous but he bought me hot chocolate ‘cause I don’t like coffee for me which was nice. I told him we should do this again but he just said thanks and left.
Smart people with dumb problems
I started Romeo and Juliet which I read in high school but I’m rereading. At the meeting, I showed her my work and she saw things I didn’t. She’s better at my job than I am. We talked a little after that but I had the stuff to do. she’s beautiful. She has brown silky hair and deep brown eyes, I could look into her eyes forever.

It’s been like two weeks nothing eventful has happened since that “thing.” Jack hasn’t really said anything in the past weeks he’s probably just stressed. I heard they’ll have to do some cuts on the budget and since he’s in charge of that It’s probably making him insane. Whatever I don’t really care, It’s not really like that coffee thing was a date, right?
Smart people with dumb problems
It’s been a fast couple of weeks I’ve had to work on budget cuts and I’ve had coworkers just shoving their faces up my rear end because they think I’m gonna fire them but I don’t want to and it will be my last resort if my plans don’t work out. So far I’ve cut the coffee machine bathroom sinks now only have cold water and the company will no longer buy donuts on Friday. Most of my coworkers are pissed about the last thing but in my head, I’m going “would you rather have a job or donuts for the last two Fridays of your career?” but what I actually say is “I’m sorry I had to make some cuts.” ugh I don’t like people I should have been a librarian. I’ve finished two books, one a week “never done” – a cop who lives in a rough area and is never done protecting the city and eleven someones has eleven days to die so what do they do with it until something happens and their life’s been extended or shortened read the book to find out.

Hilow
Jack asked me to coffee again. He asked if it would be okay if it was just to talk because (like I suspected) he was really stressed about work, he would like a break. Before any of you start chanting our names together this is strictly professional just an assistant helping out a coworker. I get where he’s coming from work can get pretty stressful.
Smart people with dumb problems
Yeah yeah, I asked her out again but it’s just coffee she won’t think much of it. I just I don’t have a lot of friends and one is in the Caribbean getting married, one is going to night school, and one is currently taking care of a newborn and I can’t even begin to comprehend what he’s going through. All my work friends are sucking up to me about the aforementioned budget cutting. Jennifer hasn’t even spoken to me so she’s my best option.
January 30, 2015
Hilow
It was fun talking to jack he’s pretty easy to talk to. I learned he grew up in San Francisco, he has two brothers, both are married or getting married and both are younger than him. Talk about pressure. I talked about how I grew up in Illinois. I’m an only child and my dad is way overprotective. It wasn’t the most professional talk I’ve had with someone but it didn’t cross a line or anything.
Smart people with dumb problems
I had fun, Jennifer is an interesting person apparently she paints and writes and reads. We even have the same favorite book! The DaVinci Code. I learned she’s a Slytherin, I’m a Hufflepuff. Shoutout to all the harry potter fans. Which according to the internet is pretty compatible. To reiterate nothing could happen because we are coworkers but there’s no law against being friends right? Anyhow, I’m gonna ask her if she wants to schedule a recurring coffee meeting.
February 3rd, 2015
Hilow
I and jack have scheduled a coffee “meeting” for every Wednesday for the foreseeable future.
Smart people with dumb problems
The coffees are fun and I look forward to going to them every week. I’m getting to know Jennifer really well. Again we’re just friends/coworkers so we date I’m currently single but she has a boyfriend, his name is chad she’s having a little difficulty trying to get her point across that the seat should be put down after he uses the facilities and he’s just refusing. I’m sure they’ll work it out. On a brighter side, she gets more beautiful each time I see her. I also am going to recommend her to my boss. I just love seeing her smile.
May 5th, 2015
Hilow
OMG! OMG! OMG! I got a promotion apparently someone in the company recommended me for the writer’s assistant which is instead of bringing people coffee I will be mentored by authors of books and the people at the top of the company! I’m so excited maybe I’ll even get to work with Jack, that would be so so fun.
Smart people with dumb problems
I got Jennifer a promotion because she’s a good worker not because she’s my friend. She was so happy she smiled so wide which just made me laugh. I took her out to a congrats dinner. It was fun she seemed so excited. One person asked why I do my blog, a blog is a great way to refine writing and I can also make a little side money.
May 9th, 2015
Hilow
I didn’t tell y’ all but I was dating a little then I started dating this guy named Chad now I broke up with him so it’s like it never happened. Just thought my loyal fans would want to know. My friends are starting to get suspicious of jack they think we’re in a secret relationship but I keep telling them we’re not. “We’re just friends,” I tell them but they don’t seem to believe me. It’s not like I would object to a secret relationship giving I’m single but I don’t want to lose my job. Plus jack is a really great guy but to restate we’re just friends and my job would become non-existent.
Smart people with dumb problems
Okay… I’m a horrible person for even considering this but what if, no no no but okay I’ll tell you but if I do this I’m risking my relationship with Jennifer and my job so this is a horrible idea; what if I ask Jenn on a real date? I’m sorry I said it I knew it was stupid in my head when I said it out loud and it’s even more stupid. I’m just not feeling well, I’m, I’m gonna go lay down.
May 11th, 2015
Hilow
I wrote my first article I’m thinking it’s good but ima give it to jack to see what he thinks.
He loved it, I mean he did some adjustments but he said my work was way above most writer’s assistants.
Smart people with dumb problems
I reviewed Jennifer’s first article. It was really good I thought she did a great job. she will surely move up in this company fast.
Okay I’m still contemplating this is how my thoughts have been working
Maybe, no, well Jenn, no dude stay strong, but what if, no stop its job, maybe, okay think something random narwhals, Jenn swimming with, no stop just read something.
So that has been every waking moment for like a week welcome to my little indecisive brain.
The only thing that gives me solace is getting lost in a book but recently I can’t get into “the spider” about “Davis” a guy who’s having visions of a small girl in a maze running for a spider and can’t get out but they’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong for like 10 chapters and they have barely any clues.
May 13th, 2015
Hilow
Jack is such a good friend I love to hang with him it’s a lot of fun. The last time we talked he seemed to be somewhere else, thinking really hard about something. I could practically see the steam coming out his ears but then when I asked if he’s okay he kept sputtering then gave up talking put his head on the table and said: “I’m fine.”
Smart people with dumb problems
I totally freaked out on Jenn the other day. I just I can’t, feelings. I don’t know what to do, I just I, I just can’t even. And then I found out the worst news…
May 20th, 2015
Hilow
I’m crying alone in my room. I don’t ever want to come out 2 of the worst things that could happen… happened. I’ll retell it from the top
I get there for my annual cup of chocolate and he’s waiting outside the coffee shop. He smiles but behind it, I could see he was upset about something
“So instead of coffee, can we go for a walk?”
“Sure” we start walking “soooo”
“Um ya, you know our other building all the way in North Carolina?”
“Yeaaaaaaaah”
“You know how there understaffed?”
“Yeaaaaaaaah”
“So I’m a really good worker and I’m high ranking in the company…”
“What are you trying to say?” (him stalling was making my blood pressure and anticipation rise”)
“there’s no way to say this” as we’re walking our fingertips lightly brush up against each other every now and then (not important)
“I’m moving… halfway across the world to North Carolina”
I stop and gape.
“But from Utah to North Carolina that’s like 4,000 miles!”
“But it’s for a whole year I’m leaving in a week! But since I’m moving away for so long I wanted a chance to say this”
He slid one of his hands around my waist and the other over the back of my neck and kissed me. I gave in for a second. that one second was wonderful and I cherished it then I felt hurt and betrayed. He was leaving me. I pushed both my hands against his chest and pushed him away he looked confused and hurt
“You can’t just kiss me then leave”
“Well do you think it’s my choice whether to leave or not”
“Well, it is your choice to kiss me or not. You can’t just do this.”
“Do what?”
“Leave!” there were tears in my eyes and I jogged back to my car. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without him.
Smart people with dumb problems
I hurt Jennifer today and I feel absolutely like total and utter crap. My boss told me he’s transferring me to a North Carolina’s headquarter facility and I would’ve said no but he insisted and gave a $10,000 raise and threatened me with my job. I planned how to break it to Jennifer I met her at a coffee shop then instead of stopping for coffee we started walking here’s the conversation through my eyes
“There’s something I need to tell you and you’re not gonna like it”
“I can handle it as long as it’s you saying it” (this comment made my life so much harder)
“Okayyy, we have headquarters in NC and” (I rub my neck nervously)
“Yes” (this is relevant but I looked down as we walked and our paces were the same)
“I’m moving to North Carolina”
“What?” she stopped dead in her tracks and stood awestruck
“Not forever just for a year”(which kind of seems like forever) “so I’ve been waiting a long time to tell you and since I’m leaving this is the best time to do it”
I put my arm around her waist and put my hand behind her neck and kissed her, then she shoved me and said
“You can’t kiss me”
“Why?”
“Because you’re leaving”
“Do you think I want to leave?”
“Do you think I want you to kiss me?”
“Well do you?”
“Well, I mean ya, well no not if you’re gonna leave forever” she started crying
“So if I stay would you, you know… be with me?”
“ I, I don’t know” then she sprinted away and I’m here contemplating life and oh I don’t know
May 27th, 2015
Hilow
I’m lost
Smart people with dumb problems
I tried calling Jenn because I’m leaving tomorrow but she’s ignoring my calls and she’s been working from home for the past couple of days I assume only to avoid me. My bags are all checked and once I’m in NC I have family that lives fairly close to work with an extra room so I’m gonna be lodging with them for the next year. Yesterday I had to change my phone wallpaper because it was us at her promotion dinner. So now it’s just a picture of me, just me, all alone me. The books still boring and I have no rest from this neverending nightmare.
May 28th, 2015
Hilow
He’s gone. Jack left for the plane an hour ago. I don’t know what to do. I just never thought he would actually… do it. Well you know there’s this guy that keeps hitting on me at the coffee shop maybe I’ll say yes this time I don’t know what was holding me back before it’s not like I and Jack were dating or anything. I just I need to put this all behind me.
May 29th, 2015
Smart people with dumb problems
So I made it! I’m actually in North Carolina. My family is super nice and they decorated this room for me. I have a little nephew who’s super cute. My job starts Monday it’s currently Saturday so I’m gonna take the weekend to get to know this family of mine. I just miss Jenn.
Hilow
I asked the guy out we’re going to dinner tonight. See I’m already over jack even though I was never really into him. I bet he’s not even thinking of me at all maybe it was the best for him to leave. What do you guys think? tell me in the comments.
June 2nd, 2015
Smart people with dumb problems
Hey, guys, it’s actually been a lot of fun hanging out with the fam in all but every time I get happy I think about how I shouldn’t be happy because Jenn probably isn’t. This is going to be the longest year of my life. How I wish I could go back but I can’t I’d get fired and it’s not like I’d have a home if I went back. I was living in an apartment and if I was “in-between jobs” I would have no money and end up living on the street. But still, Jenn’s ignoring my calls and texts. Fricken’ spider book didn’t work out so now I’m in between books and just at the point I’m slowly dying inside.
Hilow
So when I said tell me in the comments I thought you guys would support me but all you’re saying is how I was going on the date to try and get over jack and it’s not fair to the guy well, guess what I don’t need your negativity in my life and you know what else I went on that date and it was fun David is really cool so get over yourselves in check I don’t think I’m gonna post for a while till you get yourselves in check!
June 8th, 2015
Smart people with dumb problems
I went back to work. It was a great distraction the people there we’re okay I guess they mainly ignored me but that’s okay it just gave me more time to work. Hfff I follow Jennifer on Instagram she put a picture of her and this guy named David I’m not stalking her and I’m not jealous she’s free to date whoever she chooses we weren’t in a relationship before and since I moved here were definitely not in one now. Not only is Jenn back in Utah but are my friends and parents and that one coffee shop I love. I mean but up here I have my cousins and *sniff sniff my job and *sniff sniff a coffee shop that smells like old people.

So I’m at home the boxes arrive on Monday I think I’ll pick up some flowers and surprise Jenn she’ll be thrilled! I’m so excited I haven’t seen her in forever we’ll have so much to talk about!
Smart people with dumb problems
Okay, I’m dying and have no reason to live I’m still trying to wrap my head around what just happened. Okay so I get to Jenn’s place a bouquet of flowers in my hand, I knock on the door and who do I see open it? Not Jenn, not her mom or aunt or any long-lost cousin but I’m assuming boyfriend. He wasn’t wearing a shirt just an open jacket. My reenactment;
“Hey bro” (rub my neck)
“Hey, Um… is Jenn here?”
“Who’s Jenn?”
“Jennifer”
“Oh bae” he turns around and yells “babe a nerdy looking dude is here to see you”
“What?” I hear her yell from inside the house. She comes out a look of complete and utter shock comes over her face she looked like the emoji :o(which is kind of funny now that I think about)
“Umm hey”
“Hi”
“This is Jacob from work” she turns to tell mystery man “give us a minute” he goes inside and she closes the door we sit on her steps.
“So who’s your friend?” I’m anxious to hear the answer
“Um… we’re, I just wasn’t expecting you back and…”
“It fine,” I said as I put my hand over hers. I got up walked to my car opened my door
“see you at work”
I didn’t know how to react.
Hilow
Oh, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fudge apple cheese crackers darn gammit……!!!!! Okay, so I saw you’d never guess who I saw give him a J give him an A give him a C K jack, jack freaking jack!! I don’t know what to do. I’m sorry I didn’t blog for a while but I was hurt and I have this boyfriend that’s not jack but oh my god what am I going to do I mean I’m gonna see him on freaking Monday, Monday! I just can’t even right now =, I just no this cannot be happening aaaagggg!!!! If you guys are still out there I need advice ASAP!

So Monday, hmfffff Um great day. When I get uncomfortable I rub my neck if you haven’t picked up on it today my neck is red from all the uncomfortable I felt. Awkward, depressing all the emotions rolled into one cruddy day. I mean I’m making so much more money I got my old apartment back somehow the only thing I had last time that I don’t have is Jenn.
Hilow
Monday was awkward, to say the least, I still don’t know what to do but you guys gave some good advice thanks for sticking by me. Here are some of the comments I got; think of jack and think of the new guy who makes your heart beat faster? Definitely jack. Who do you have more fun with Jack? Jack. Write a list of pros and cons lets see
David pros’ hot, sweet, cons; obsessive, easy to anger, unfaithful
Jack pros; handsome, smart, kind, intellectual, thoughtful, amazing, loving, etc. Ect,
Cons;?
I still don’t know
October 22nd, 2015
Smart people with dumb problems
Yeah, so I don’t really know what to do… should I wait for Jenn, try and date again, just be single for a while? I mean I barely see her at work and I’m the boss of everyone so I don’t want to be biased. Should I just get on with my life? Also, how could I ever find anyone as amazing as Jenn? If she lets me go it’s gonna be her mistake and I don’t think I’ll come back. I don’t think I could after something like that. I’m just gonna need to ask her straight forward. I just have to I don’t know what else to do.
Hilow
The dreaded question was asked Jack approached me and asked “I need to know are you happy with the David? If you are I understand but don’t leave me dangling by a thread’ then he stood there looking at me all concerned and all I did was kept stumbling then said I don’t know. What is love? What is happiness? How do I make this decision?
October 23rd, 2015

I approached Jenn I think that was the best movie because I don’t want to hold onto hope that’s not there But as the wisest once said “the course of true love never did run smooth” William Shakespeare. I don’t expect the next couple of weeks to go smoothly no matter how much I want them to. Started a new book called “the life of Pi” a guy gets stuck on a boat with a tiger until they find dry land.
Hilow
Jack approached me again all I did was stall I don’t want to lose him but I have such a great relationship with David. I know I can only stall for so long but this decision could change the course of the world.
October 30th, 2019

I feel so bad. Jenn’s heart got broken. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t me. She came to my house at ten at night with her makeup all smeared and her heels in her hand.
“Are you okay?”
“No”
“Do you want to come in?”
“Yes” I stepped aside and opened the door she stepped in, looked at me, and wrapped her arms around me, and started crying. It caught me off guard but I stood strong. I swung the door closed and put she put her arms around my waist. I looked down at her, she looked up at me.
“Would you like some hot chocolate?” she nodded “to get hot chocolate you have to let go.” she nodded again. “Come here” I took her hand, led her to the couch, I took her heels from her and put them on the table and I gave her a blanket. “Okay you stay here” she nodded once more.
I went to the kitchen and made her hot chocolate. I came back and gave her the mug.
“Do you want to tell me what happened?” she nodded “to do that you have to talk” she gave a breathy laugh “tell me everything” she started. Apparently, David had been cheating on her for months and she came home from work expecting nobody to be home so she went upstairs and found David in bed with another woman, but not just any woman no it had to be her boss. She got fired on the spot because her boss said that she had been purposely cheating on her with David so she could take her job. Which is so abstractly stupid. She broke up with David and came here immediately. After she finished talking I asked her if it would help to watch a movie where they brutally murdered men. So we ended up watching Jurassic Park and at the end of the movie I was ready to get up but she was asleep on my chest so I just turned the TV off and fell asleep. When I woke up she wasn’t there so I just hope she’s getting on good enough.
Hilow
The best thing happened to me David cheated on me! Okay well let me explain it was devastating at first but there’s a number of reasons why it’s good, well I mean I lost my job but I’ll get on with that later okay here’s a rundown of my night. I get home to David in bed with my boss, boss fires me, I grab my purse, go down to jacks, have an amazing conversation he just listened the entire time with that gaze you know he’s taking in every little detail you’re saying, watched Jurassic Park, pretended I fell asleep, then got to sleep on jacks’ chest. Wow-what an exciting 24 hours but I left jack’s house early because I needed a shower

So I made the mistake of looking up Jennifer’s name and I came across normal stuff a Facebook and old yahoo account normal stuff but then I came across this website more like blog it’s called hilow and for some reason, google linked her name with it and also for some reason it had my name, not my specific name but Jacob so out of curiosity I started reading some of the entries. So the first one I came across started out “So it’s Thursday me and Jacob planned for lunch but we don’t have work because of Independence Day.” And mentally I’m going like my names Jacob, I scheduled a lunch date with Jennifer on a Wednesday on independence day. So it continues to talk about clothes then the next entry starts The meeting *cough* date *cough* so I read through every entry and it basically describes our whole relationship. Which I’m not mad about I’m doing the same thing what’s interesting is seeing the same relationship through different eyes. On Monday I’m gonna fire the person who fired Jenn because I’m the head of the company and because she wrongly fired Jenn not because she was bad at work but for personal reasons.
Hilow
I got my job back for obvious reasons. Other than that I don’t know where me and jack stand. I am now single and he is the head of the company. I don’t think I’m necessarily ready for another relationship but I like hanging out with him. I’m gonna go over today and hang out just.

I did it again I effed up. I don’t know how I always seem to do it but it happened and I’m sure all of you want to know what I possibly could have done. We were in a good place everything was good. I was ready for my happily ever after, but jeez. Fine, I’ll tell you, but first, you have to know something when I was reading her blog the other day her newest post said this “The best thing happened to me David cheated on me!” Then she went on to explain why it was great because we could be together. So it seems like there’s not much up to interpretation. so yesterday Tuesday Jenn came over unannounced I must say and things were going fine we were talking and I had made her a cup of cocoa. We were sitting on the couch I put my coffee down and looked at her she stopped talking I leaned in to kiss her she leaned the opposite way she was supposed to. I opened my eyes and looked at her questioning.
She said, “Jack I just got out of a relationship right now I need a friend” which wasn’t the worst part what I said next is what screwed everything up.
“But I thought it was the best thing that happened to you”
“What?” she said sternly and at that moment I knew I screwed up
“Nothing”
“Jacob Alexander Wilson, What did you just say” how did she know my middle name?
Very quietly so she might not hear I said “I thought it was the best thing that could happen to you”
“Did you read my blog?” I stayed silent again in that scary voice she said: “did you read my blog!”
“Its public domain if you didn’t want me to find it you shouldn’t have put it online”
“Dude that’s like reading my diary” her voice has softened but not so much to where it was her normal voice
“It’s online you have thousands of followers” she looked at me picked up her purse opened the door looked back
“Good day sir” and she slammed the door
Women am I right?
Hilow
Oooooooooo am I mad right now. I’m so mad. So Jacob found my blog and then instead of telling me about it he read it all and the audacity to make a reference about it in our conversation. I feel mad and exposed and embarrassed all at the same freaking time. To kind of explain it he tried to kiss me, I said I needed a friend he asked if it was the best thing that happened to me which I wrote in last week’s post and I stormed out. This is the problem with having a relationship with someone at work

Smart people with dumb problems
Someone asked me where I got the name smart people with dumb problems. It comes from an article I read. It says how smarter people may be more logical thinkers and be able to do the math and stuff they have a harder time with emotions and connecting and that a stupid person may have better relationships so I thought that was a funny name smart people with dumb problems being dumb is drama. Also, I changed the law of for office so you can date at work but no water cooler talk or biased. Maybe that’ll make Jenn happy.

So Jennifer called in sick to the office today so at lunch, I got Chinese food to share during my lunch break. So I got to the door and before I could knock I heard the worst noise in the whole world I think nails on chalkboards sound better than this, it broke my heart. I heard what could only Jenn screaming. At that point, I didn’t care what could happen to me I was on beast mode all the way. I opened the door, I was walking fast. As I walked by I put the food on the table. I followed the horrible noise radiating from her vocal cords. She was upstairs as I was walking I dialed 911 but hit call yet I get in her bedroom shes leaned over on her back on the bed David held one of her hands against the bed and the other high in the air ready to strike. Jenns check was red tears down it. This had to be the scariest moment of my life. He looked over at me dead in the eye. I looked over my phone in my hand my thumb right about to click 911
“Whatever,” he says he throws Jenns hand against the bed and walks by me I don’t flinch for a second once I hear the door close behind him. I break down in tears, I run over to Jenn and give her the biggest hug. I can feel her tears soak into my shirt but I was just so happy she was ok I don’t want to think what would have happened if I hadn’t shown up. I know we’re not together but I love this woman.

In the end, love trumps hate. We all happily ever after in our own way. We all get throughout the roadblocks in our life that we never thought we could pass. I know I’ll get through every obstacle that comes my way because I’m in love with the most beautiful woman on the planet. By the way, did I tell you about my new book…
