The Proud Boss Lady.

Soraya began to miss Zed and she was confused about it.

Why do I miss him?

I could get a better man than him, urggh.

I hate this feeling. She thought to herself banging her head on her work desk. Ever since he left, petty things had been reminding he'd of him. She sometimes absentmindedly called his name from her room before she recalls he no longer lived with her.

“I need to take a break, travel and explore the world. I might meet someone much better than Zed Velasquez." She smiled to herself as she called to book a flight to the Maldives.

“Hi, I want to book a flight from New York City to the Maldives," Soraya said.

“Ma'am, when do you want to leave for the Maldives?" The lady asked.

“On Thursday, that's two days away." She replied.

“First class right?" She inquired.

“Of course, Soraya Wayne doesn't do ebony class, eww." She rudely added.

“Okay, your flight would take off at noon and your ticket would be delivered soon, thanks once again." The woman told her.

“Okay, bye." She dropped the call.

“The beaches and resorts would have me forget about that nobody in no time." She said to herself.

“Thanks for the ride Zed, I had fun," Freya said as they sat at the seashore.

“You're welcome, and happy birthday!" He said to her as Jess, Jackie and Carla came out with food and a birthday cake.

“How, what, when?" She fumbled with her words wondering when they got the time to plan all of this.

“Did you think we were going to forget about your birthday?" Jess asked with her hands on her waist.

“I don't know but, I didn't expect this." She admitted.

“Well then, happy birthday Freya, you're one of a kind and I am so thankful that I got to meet a wonderful, down to earth, caring and loving woman like you. I hope all your wishes come to pass." Jess told.

“Thank you, girls, I am the luckiest woman on the earth to have such fun, crazy and caring friends like you. I wouldn't trade you for anything else." She said engulfing them in hugs as Zed wandered off along the seashore giving them the needed privacy.
