Jill leaned on the door frame of her friends office with a coffee cup in each hand…neither of them hers. She opened her mouth to say hello but stopped herself. She looked around for sasha and finally her eyes rested on a shadowy figure in the far right corner of her oversized office. Sitting knees up to her chest in the only corner of the room shadowed by a beam her head was rested on her knees.
“For God sake you’re creeping me out. Just come in already” the voice came from the shadows.
“I’m sorry” Jill half smirked. This was going to be a challenge. She held her arms out offering her friend both coffees. Sasha gratefully took them.
“Lindsay came to talk to you.” She stated matter of factly.
“Guilty”
She sighed loudly then began to chug the coffee in her right hand. Jill waited patiently knowing she was going to fire something out. “Well lets have it. Get it over with Jill.”
“Why do you assume I’m here to lecture you”
“You’re either going to lecture me or try to soothe me into talking. I’m not interested in either.”
Jill rolled her eyes and carefully sat down on the floor in her black dress pants and high heels.
“You’re going to get all dirty” Sasha said dryly “And don’t think I didn’t see that dramatic eye roll”
At least she’s speaking Jill thought. “First off you’re a total neat freak there is no way I’m going to be dirty..second off I don’t care…third I intended for you to see the eye roll smart ass”
Sasha leaned her head back against the concrete wall looking up to the ceiling.
“So why are you here Jill”
“Thought you could use coffee…and a friend”
“I appreciate the coffee. I do." she reinterated staring directly in jills eyes to make sure she knew she was serious. " As for the friend…am I supposed to open up to this friend? Because I swear to God Jill ....I can’t.” anger fizzling on the last two words.
“Nope but when you feel like it you can.”
Sasha studied her. She looked almost child-like Jill thought.
“I’m drowning.” She said simply.
