The Perfect Day As the sun, shining through the curtain s began to hit her face Angelica slowly opens her eyes and looks over to the lock beside her bed. Her eyes began to close again until it dawns on her that the alarm has failed to go off, and she is running late for work. As she hurries to dress, she can’t keep her mind from drifting, she arrived home last night after a night out with her workmates to find a message on her answer phone from her long term boyfriend, Marcus saying simply, ‘’we need to talk, meet me tomorrow night’’. While dressing in a hurry she forces her arm into the sleeve too hard and tears a hole in her favourite blouse, little does she know this is only the beginning of her hardships for today is about to become her worst nightmare. As the clock moved on towards half past nine, Angelica hurriedly grabs some breakfast before running out to the car. As she gets into the car she feels something beneath her, looking down she has sat in a sandwich she left here the day before, after running inside and changing, she finally gets to set off for work. Beginning to feel stressed out and depressed she drives to the office wondering what could possibly go wrong next. At half past ten Angelica walked into the office three hours late to be told the manager wanted to see her in his office straight away. Knowing this could only be bad news, she sat outside his office talking to his secretary as he finished up with one of the investors. As the door opened a well dressed elderly gentlemen walked out first followed by the manager who didn’t seem pleased at the outcome of their meeting. After seeing the gentleman off, he walked back and spoke to his secretary for a moment. He turned and started back into his office, he looked at Angelica, and said “Oh I see you decided to join us then?” Angelica attempted to explain but was told not to make excuses and get into the office. “This isn’t ever an easy conversation to have but in your case Miss Carter I’m afraid I just don’t have any choice” said the manager. “But sir, I know that I have been late a few times it’s just...” said Angelica. “A few times, Angelica you have been late eight times in the last month alone, I’m sorry but we’re cutting back here and given your record I’m going to have to let you go. We’ll contact you to work out a severance package, but for now if you’d like to clear out your desk you won’t need to finish the day” “Mr Broache, please I really need this job” Pleaded Angelica. “I am sorry Miss Carter, there is nothing I can do” answered Mr Broache in a cold and emotionless voice while walking around his desk and holding the door open. Angelica stood at her desk in tears packing her few meagre possessions into a cardboard box, realising just how little impression she had made on the office when not a single person even came over to ask if she was ok. It didn’t take her long to gather her things a few pictures, a coffee mug and some small sentimental keepsakes, within twenty minutes she was leaving the building for the last time. As she walked out of the doors Angelica told herself she wasn’t going to just spend the day moping around, you make your own luck in this world and if today was going to turn around then she was going to have to turn it around herself. One task after another she went about all of the jobs she needed to do and the ones she had been putting off for a while, but task by task her job only got worse. She called to pick up her dry cleaning only to discover they had lost her brand new designer dress. She picked up the grocery shopping only for the bags to split as she tried to carry it home. It was one disaster after another all day long and she couldn’t face going home, she wandered from the park to the zoo never finding anything to cheer her up until finally she got home only to find another message on the machine from Marcus, this time telling her to meet him at 7pm in the park. After the day she had she’d forgotten all about the message this morning, with all that happened today the last thing she needed now was a we need to talk conversation but not only that but she only had an hour now to get ready and get there. After the fastest she’d ever gone trying to shower and get ready, rushing to the park it was still already almost 7:30pm. She ran down the street mostly hoping he would still be there but a part of her thinking after the day she’d had already maybe it would be best if he had given up and left, the last thing this day needed was to end with her getting dumped by the man she loved. She got to the park and was first worried when she couldn’t see Marcus anywhere, then found herself even more worried when she did see him. He stood up as she approached and through his arms around her to give her a big embrace. “I’m sorry to be so late, things have just been terrible today” said Angelica “Don’t worry about it babe, you’re here now that’s what matters and I have something I need to talk to you about,” Marcus said before he sat her down on the bench and turned to continue “we’ve been together for a long time now and...” “God please not this as well today, I’ve been fired, torn my blouse, lost my new dress, broken a shoe got soaked in the rain. It’s been one thing after another I can’t take any more I can’t lose you.” “Angelica, for once in your life shut up and listen to me will you, this isn’t how I had this planned at all but well life never really does go to plan.” Marcus got down from the bench to his knee and took a box containing a white gold ring with a stunning diamond set into it. “I love you angelica, will you marry me?” “Yes, oh god yes” said Angelica in joy jumping up and hugging Marcus before starting to cry. “What’s wrong, why are you crying” “I just never dreamed that a day from hell would end up being my perfect day” said Angelica before passionately kissing him.
