Falling for the Boss
“ “Hi, Vic! What are you up to?” Laci answered on the first ring. Victoria didn’t cringe at the hated nickname because she was too eager to relay her news. “Guess what?” “You got the job!” her sister bubbled over the phone. Victoria imagined her sister jumping up and dancing around her small apartment, just as Victoria had wanted to do an hour ago. The difference was that Laci followed through on her impulses whereas Victoria suppressed them underneath layers of inhibitions and manners. “Yep.” Victoria fell onto her sofa, letting the tension from the day ease out of her body. She kicked off her navy blue, high heeled shoes and unbuttoned her conservative, navy blue jacket. After another small giggle of excitement, Laci proclaimed, “I’m on my way over to celebrate. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” Without another word, not even a goodbye, she hung up the phone. Victoria looked at the now dead phone and laughed. She hung up the receiver and put it back onto the side tabl...e, not caring that her sister had just hung up on her. She was too eager to celebrate herself. Her younger sister, Laci, was the complete opposite of Victoria. Where Victoria was reserved and polite, Laci dove into life with both hands in the air, daring the world to stop her. Victoria was tentative and safe. She liked order. She liked the predictable. Victoria had her future mapped out for herself and was happy, if mildly and unexplainably dissatisfied, with her life so far. She knew that, instead of her current life where she envisioned herself working day after day in a small office or cubicle, crunching out numbers for a faceless corporation, Victoria wanted to chart new waters and find a new life, break out of her dreary, hum drum existence. Victoria’s new path was to travel the world, experience life and learn as much as she could.MoreLess
