'' That was awesome! '' Loren says and takes a bite from her pasta salad. '' Really? '' I laugh. '' Yeah, did you see boss face? He looked really shocked. '' She chuckles. '' I know, he deserves it. ''
'' Why? '' Loren asks. I look at her. '' umm, well I don't know. '' I fake laugh. She rolls her eyes. '' Nawal... I'm going to tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone. '' She says and looks around. '' I won't. '' I promise her and smile.
'' I like Matthew. '' She whispers so no one can hear her. I look at her confused. '' Who is Matthew? '' I ask trying to not look dumb. '' Dude! Did you already forget our boss's name? '' She laughs. '' Ohhh, Matthew. WAIT DO YOU LIKE OUR BO- '' I feel people staring at us. '' shhh! yes, I do, please don't tell anyone. '' She begs. '' I won't! But why? '' I ask, like really why? He may be cute and that but his personality is boring.
'' The way he talks, the way he smiles, the way he walks everything he does makes my heartbeat. '' She says placing her hand on her chest. '' I need to throw up. '' I joke. '' Shut up, but like I can't see my life without him. The reason I live is for him. '' She looks down and blushes. Damn, this girl is crazy for that guy. '' Why don't you confess your love then? '' I say taking a bite from my homemade Dolma.
'' It's not easy Nawal, what if he doesn't feel the same? It would be awkward. '' She says. '' Your right, how long have you been liking him? '' I ask her. '' Since I started working here, and I've been working here for 4 years now. '' She says looking at her pasta. I open my eyes widely. '' What? You're joking. ''
'' Sadly not, I wish I wasn't into him. '' I hear how voice starts trembling. '' I'll make him fall in love with you. '' I look at her. '' Really?! How? '' She asks.
'' I have my ways. ''
'' HE'S YOUR BOSS?! '' Leila and Saja shouts. '' Ouch my ears, and yes. '' I answer. '' I can't believe you, how? '' Saja says confused. '' I don't know, he's just everywhere. '' I answer her.
'' Fate. '' We hear Leila say. Saja and I look at Leila. '' What? '' Saja asks confused. '' It must be fate, you're probably meant to be. '' She looks at us. Saja and I look at each other, the next second we burst out laughing. '' You need some sleep, Leila. He's atheist, and my husband must be Muslim!. '' I look at her laughing.

'' You'll see. '' She says.
Ding Dong
We look at each other. '' Who Is it? '' I ask Leila. '' Probably the neighbors. '' She says. We follow her to the door. She opens the door and guess who it is.
Karim and the guy he was hanging out with in the club. '' You must be Leila, I'm Jacob. I think we need to talk somethings out. '' The guy says. I see Karim looking down like he doesn't dare to look at Leila. '' Sure, come in. '' Leila offers them.
We sit in the living room. Leila brings water for Jacob. '' Thank you. '' He thank her and she sits in front of them. '' Before we start, who are you to Karim? '' Leila asks Jacob. '' Karim is a very close friend of mine, or he was. He always lied to me about things, I had no clue he had a wife, and I've known him for a few years now. '' Jacob says looking at Leila. '' Continue. '' She says.
'' I found out when you're friends were arguing with him in the club, I felt so dumb for not figuring it out. My friend Matthew, he warned me but I never listened. '' I roll my eyes when I hear him mention Boss's name. Why am I even calling him boss?
'' I don't know what to say... You say it as It's your fault. '' Leila says. '' I know, but I'm the type of person who feels bad for something that I didn't even do '' He chuckles.
'' But I wanted to ask you, do you want to do an police report? '' He asks Leila. Leila looks at us. '' Why are you showing up trying to solve problems like your a lawyer? '' I ask him.
'' That's because I'm a lawyer, and you must be Nawal. '' He says, wait so he's a lawyer now? '' Yes, I am. '' I answer. '' So you're the one who misunderstood Matt, you should know that he never- ''
'' I know, I solved it with him already. '' I cut him off. '' You did? How? '' He asks.
'' I work for him, so we talked about it already. '' I answer. '' You work for him? '' He asks confused. '' Yes, It's a long story... '' I say. He nods.
'' So do you want to do a police report, Leila? '' He asks Leila. '' Yes, I want to put this man behind bars! '' She says.
Karim looks at Leila. '' Babe, no please- '' Leila cuts him off. '' Cut that crap Karim. '' She shouts at him. '' Then I'd love to be your lawyer. '' Jacob says to Leila. Leila smiles and nods.

I walk into the company when I hear someone call my name, I turn around and see Jacob running towards me. '' Nawal, Hey! '' He greets me. '' Good morning Jacob. What are you doing here? '' I look at him confused. '' Well, I wanted to ask you something. How did Karim and Leila meet? '' He asks. '' Awee, it looks like you really try hard for her sake. '' I say and smile.
'' Yes, well I really feel stupid for not figuring out what he was doing all this time. '' He says looking down like he's embarrassed. '' If I knew, this wouldn't happen. '' He continues.
'' Look it's not your fault, and you shouldn't blame yourself. Now the important part is to help Leila right? '' I smile at him. He nods and smiles.
'' Leila and Karim didn't really meet, their parents set them up and they had no choice but to marry each other. '' I say and he looks shooked. '' oh, wow... That's must've been hard for her... '' He says looking at me.
'' Mhm... '' I nod, '' Well thank you for telling me about it. I didn't want to ask Leila about it so that why I found you. '' He says smiling. '' Well, you can always find me if you have some questions '' I smile.
'' Then can I have your number so I can message you if I have a question? '' He asks. '' Of course, Lawyer Jacob. '' I tease him and we laugh.
I walk into the company with Loren like I usually do, It's like she knows when I'll be arriving for work. As I walk in many employees greet me.
'' Oh, looks like Lawyer Jacob here? '' I hear Loren say. I turn around and see him laughing with Nawal. How do they know each other? Right from the club... But why are they laughing with each other? I see Nawal passing her phone to Jacob and he writes something on her phone. Is he writing his number? What is this place, a dating place? Why do I even care?
'' Loren call Nawal to my office. '' I order Loren. '' Yes Boss. '' Before I walk away I see them laughing, I shake my head and leave.
I hear someone storm into my office, and of course, I couldn't think of someone else but Nawal. I look up and see her crossing her arms. '' What you want? '' She says. '' First of all, do you even know how to knock? Second, Do you have my coffee?
'' No and No. '' She says. I stand up and walk towards her.
'' Loren told me that It was an emergency, and of course, I don't want to make my hard-working boss waiting for me... '' She fakes smiles. '' You really thought of me? That's cute. '' I say fake smiling, she glares at me.
'' Why were you talking to Jacob? '' I ask taking some steps closer to her while she takes some steps back. '' That's none of your business. '' She says rolling her eyes.
'' Everything that happens in this company is my business, so tell me now. '' I say narrowing my eyes at her. '' It's nothing important... ''
'' Why did you take his number then? '' I say crossing my arms. '' Oh my gosh, what's your problem. He's helping Leila, Karim's wife. '' She says. '' So he asked for my number just in case he needs something. '' She says.
'' Oh, okay... '' I mutter and go back to my chair. '' Do you need something else? '' She asks looking down.
'' Yes, next week we're flying to New York, we're going to meet some professional designers. '' I say and I see how her eyes wide like they're going to poop out. '' I can't, I don't have a passport. '' She says
'' I know, I already fixed it for you. ''
'' I know, I already fixed it for you '' Who is this guy, and how does he think that he can control me. '' Listen, even if you did I'm not going. You can take Loren with you, I think she'll love to travel with you. '' I say smiling.
'' You're not the Boss, so be ready for next week. '' He says looking down at some papers. '' But why me, I just started work, I need some learning before I travel. ''
'' If you hadn't tested me the other day this wouldn't happen, so be ready for next week. '' He says while opening his computer. '' I hate you! ''
'' Bos- '' I hear Loren coming into the room. She looks at me, yep she just heard what I said. '' Boss. I brought your coffee... ''
'' Good, now leave both of you. ''

Reincarnation Station: Death, Cake and Friendship
All Fred wants is a chance to sing and dance on Broadway. This dream is looking increasingly unlikely, as he dies on the second page. Reincarnation Station is a tale of dubious taste and even more dubious humour. An absurdist exploration of death, dungeons, and dance coupled with mind-bending philosophical questions such as whether or not a jaffa cake is really a cake or just a pretentious biscuit. WARNINGS: Puns. Stats. An Attempt at a System. Gore. Ballet. British. So British your blood will turn to tea. Strong language. You have been warned. There will be rude words. Likewise, if you are related to me in anyway, turn off your device and walk away right now. Life is awkward enough as it is without having to discuss this over dinner.

The Solipsist
Every novel needs a main character, and in this case, it's a young man named Jacob Bates. Jacob is your average guy who likes books, television, and long walks on the beach. One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)
