Okay, everyone, so sorry I haven't posted in a few months, but things got a little hectic, had to find a new job, etc. But I'm back now and I will try to post regularly, at least once a week. Sorry if this chapter isn't as hot as the previous two, but here it is.

'Why me, just why fucking me?'
Those were Kimmy's thoughts as she aimlessly twirled a pencil around on the desk in front of her. This had to be some form of refined torture. It had to be. There was no way in ten hells that a sane person could sit here and do this boring shit all day long. Not that her normal job was exactly insanely exciting, but still.
Upon arriving at the office that morning, Kimmy & Veronica came to find Mr. Feltwell on the outside of the receptionist desk, clearly freaking out. Apparently, their normal secretary, a young girl named Nina, had called out. Her reason? She'd partied a little too hard on Saturday and Sunday and was now "unbelievably hungover.", as she described. Now, Mr. Feltwell was a nice guy and he'd certainly had his wild days in his younger years, so he understood and let her slide and use the day to recuperate. However, he didn't fully process that with no Nina, there was no secretary, until it was too late.
Kimmy and Veronica stood and listened to him whine and gripe about not having anyone to "man the phones and delivery logs". After listening, Kimmy was trying to end the convo and head to her office to get started on the last section of her current project. It wasn't that she was eager to get started on work, but it was because she was hoping that Mr. Feltwell didn't remember was Kimmy had told him when she first interviewed when him more than 3 years prior. She was hoping that he didn't remember that Kimmy told him she had secretary experience, thanks to being a DA (Dorm Advisor) during her college days. And then she caught the sneaky and evil look on Veronica's face.
"Well, you know, Kimmy can fill in as secretary for the day, you know, until Nina gets back in tomorrow." Best believe, right then Kimmy wanted to strangle the woman she'd been best friends with for more than 10 years!
"Oh, that's right. You did tell me that you had secretary experience about a year or so ago, right Kimmy? Right, right. So, of course you don't mind filling in for Nina right?" Mr. Feltwell asked her, as Veronica stood off to the side with a cheesy 'haha you're stuck' kind of smile plastered on her face.
She sucked in a breath and after making a mental note to tightly squeeze Veronica's throat after they got off for the day, she agreed.
She'd been sitting at this desk for what seemed like hours already, but in all reality, it'd only been about an hour and six minutes. Usually the company received at least 5 to 6 deliveries of documents and other things a day, but because of a freak accident on the main road that allowed vehicle access to the company building, all deliveries had been postponed and rescheduled. And for some reason, no one was calling about the progress of some of the projects today. So, yes, Kimmy was bored out of her mind. Mr. Feltwell suspended internet service to the front desk after catching Nina shopping online one too many times, so she couldn't play on the internet and her phone was charging in the break room. Ugh, Kimmy didn't think that she would survive this work day!
"Girl, I know you ain't falling asleep up here, are you?" Veronica said as she came to lean over the front part of the secretary desk. Kimmy glared at her best friend with enough intensity to burn her clothes clean off her.
"Yeah I am, but I wouldn't be, if you would've just kept your wide trap shut about my experience as a secretary. He probably forgot, and you just had to remind him!" Kimmy whispered loudly, not trying to draw attention to their conversation. The taller girl of the duo smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah, you're right. I didn't HAVE to. Consider it payback for not letting me use your Thousand Wishes earlier." Veronica said, smirking.
"You're such a cold bitch." Kimmy said, too which Veronica replied, "True."
Kimmy couldn't believe that Veronica really remembered that shit. A few days back, Veronica had come to Kimmy's house to get ready for a date she said she had. She would've gotten ready at her own place but the pipes were being repaired in her building, thus making her have no running water to take a shower. As Veronica got dressed, she reached for Kimmy's favorite scent, A Thousand Wishes, but Kimmy quickly snatched it from her grip, handing her another good-but-not-as-sexy scent, called Love & Sunshine. When Veronica asked her best friend why she couldn't use it, she simply responded she doesn't share her favorites. Veronica vowed revenge, but Kimmy didn't really think that she would go through with it!
"Next time, I'll let you use my perfume, because if this torture is what I gotta deal with, then fuck, you can have the whole bottle."
"Great logic, should've had it the first time." Veronica said. "Now, can I have these papers copied and noted? Three please."
"Yeah, sure, your majesty." Kimmy laughed a little as she took her best friend's files to the copy and note room to file them for her. She shook her head and smiled as she thought about her best friend's ways. She really shouldn't have been surprised that Veronica took it as far as she did. She remembered a time when she and Veronica were sophomores in high school, and a guy that liked Veronica had confessed his feelings. Veronica, however, didn't like him back. As revenge, he called her all types of names, ranging from 'bitch' down to 'whore' during lunch for at least a week. At first, Veronica didn't seem phased by it; until one0 day Kimmy walked to school alone because Veronica had told her that she had to finish up a project or something and wanted to get to school early to do it. She didn't think anything was up, until she walked out of her 3rd hour class and came face to face with a picture of a shrimp-sized penis with the guy's name written in sharpie at the bottom, plastered on the lockers. Then Veronica's signature with a kiss print. In smaller letters underneath the kiss print, also in Veronica's handwriting, it said 'Don't fuck with me.' Apparently, the guy had sent pictures of his penis to Veronica as a part of his attempt to get her to like him. There were about 200 copies of the same picture throughout the school. Afterwards, the guy shut the fuck up the rest of the school year and relocated to another school in the area the following year too.
"Here you are your majesty. And thank you for giving me something to do for at least a few minutes. I don't know how Nina does it, this shit is so boring." Kimmy said before plopping back down.
"Thanks. And I don't know either. Try not to fall asleep again. Toodles!" Veronica bounced back toward the cubicles and offices.
