Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

"Nothing... How do I ask her out?" Dean sighed and finally asked his two friends for help.

"Why are you asking us?" Michael laughed and put his arm around Casey.

"Sorry, we can help you ask out a guy. But neither of us has ever asked out a woman," Casey replied as he smiled at his friend Dean.

"You are both useless." Dean then walked off towards his car. He would give April the time that she needed.

Casey and Micheal felt speechless, did they not both try and help him enough already.

Shrugging Casey turned to Micheal, "Honey let's get back to work."

"Let's im worried the wolf has scared the bunny," Micheal smirked as they both walked towards Walker Interiors.

"Possibly asking out a girl is the same as asking out a guy?" Casey thought aloud.

"Going by the way you asked me out Dean is better off not having your help." Micheal laughed at his boyfriend.

"It worked didn't it, you fell for my sweet charms," Casey answered smugly.

"Yeah whatever just leave relationship advice to me you are both wolves and your tactics are to go for the kill. Hence why April ran away. Didn't I run from you as well?" Micheal gestured.

"But I caught you in the end and that's all that matters." Casey smiled delightedly with himself and Michael couldn't help roll his eyes.

Back in the office April jad just walked through the lift doors. Everyone looked like they were busy with their heads down. April gripped her handbag tighter and went to her seat quickly.

She turned on her laptop and it powered back to life.

April looked up at her manager Emily and smiled. "Hello, Ms Taylor."

Bang

Emily dumped a stack of files on April's desk and sneered, "I hope you enjoyed a long lunch as you may need to skip dinner. Take these and go through them. Learn our style, techniques, contacts, building yards, architects, etcetera and put them all in order as you learn. Bring them to records management when you have finished."

Bang

Emily had walked back to her desk and dumped another pile of files and documents in front of April. She was not afraid of hard work and she was sure she would be working late tonight but no matter. She would gladly sort through all the files in front of her it can only benefit her in learning.

The two stacks if placed on top of one another would no doubt be the same height as April. So she took a pile from the top and started to go through it. As she did she took out her notebook and jotted down useful contacts and styles she liked.

Emily was quite pleased with herself but seeing April not make a fuss about the amount of work she had given her she lost her smile. Why isn't she acting out, or running to the CEO?

Three hours later it was now five PM and many had started to gather their stuff and leave for the day. April was quite proud of herself. She had got through almost all of the files and has learnt a great deal from them. She had only three left.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her manager Emily get up and walk straight out to the lift and she was gone. April sighed, what kind of manager is she? She arrived when she wants and doesn't even say goodbye at the end of the day.

"Good night everyone." Sean waved and jumped in the lift.

Paul followed in behind him and nodded, "Safe home and welcome April."

"Thanks and take care on your way home." April smiled cheerfully.

Aarna and Sophie came to her desk and she responded with a smile.

"Do you need any help April?" Sophie asked.

"No, I am okay, thanks though," April responded quickly, she didn't want to burden anyone.

"If your sure, then good night. See you in the morning." Sophie waved and got on the lift.

Aarna took her chair and sat down beside April she took the last file and without speaking helped her sort through the documents inside. April's lips curled up and she finished the file in front of her.

A few minutes later they were both done with their own files. April looked up and smiled, "Thanks for the help."

"No problem, let's take these to the records department."

"Thanks but you dont have to do that." April shook her head.

"Nonsense I am here so I can help you. Why make two trips when we can do it together." Aarna offered as she lifts the stack of files from the desk and walked towards the lift.

All April could do was smile and follow so she lifted her stack and went to the lift along with Aarna.

They both left the files at the records department and left the office together.

"Do you need a lift home?" Aarna offered.

"No, I got a car yesterday. Thank you for being so kind. I have made you late getting home." April smiled at her.

"Not to worry all I have waiting for me is a hungry, grumpy cat." Aarna giggled and so did April.

They both walked to their cars and waved goodbye.

April got into her new car and started the forty minutes journey to her fathers home. Her father and mother had worked hard and lived in a nice gated community. When she compared the difference between her mother's condo and her old home. It was as different as day and night.

Rachel had removed the warmth and heart from what should be a comfortable home. April had made many trips this way on her way to her father's house. She had gotten the bus when she had little money or walked it when she didn't. This was the first time she drove and in her own car. No one could take this feeling of accomplishment from her. She turned on the radio and hummed to a tune that had come on. The lyrics resonated with her.

(Our memories, well, they can be inviting

But some are altogether mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I

With my head in my hands, I sit and cry

Don't speak...)
