Love Without a Home. Shari Mong
Elisa running late, it was cold by now.
Sissy did not even knock on Elisa’s door, but walked right in. That was a no no with Elisa, but this morning she did not care. “Are you alright Miss Drinnings?” Sissy asked her. “I am sure your coffee is cold by now I can go and heat it up for you.”
“Sissy you can call me Elisa, you and only you.”
Sissy knew there had to be something wrong because Elisa would never let her call her Elisa, two she would have been furious with someone walking into her office like Sissy did, and three cold coffee.
“I do not care about the coffee right now. I cannot believe I am late. I have never been late in all my years with Pose Magazine. I am sorry.” Elisa was talking a mile a minute and Sissy was trying to keep up.
“Whoa, Elisa, you are the Chief Editor of Pose, you can be late.”
“No Sissy, this job is my lifeblood, it is the very essence of my life, it is the reason why I get up and make sure I am here every day and on time, and this is unacceptable.”
Sissy did not know if Elisa was trying to convince herself of this or Sissy.
She took the coffee and left with Elisa standing there. Elisa watched as Sissy left. She could not believe Sissy had just walked out of her office like this. Sissy had never done this. Elisa plopped down in her chair. Sissy came back with Elisa’s coffee heated up. Sissy shut the door to Elisa’s office and sat down.
“Now you want to tell me what is unnerving you?” Sissy asked Elisa taking a sip of her coffee. Elisa took a sip of her coffee and sighed. “There is a lot of work to be done and I cannot believe that I am late for work.” Elisa was going through her briefcase. Sissy put her hand on Elisa’s arm. “Please Elisa, we have worked together for years, I have never seen you act like this. What is up?”
“Sissy I want you to call that guy, that new designer, what is his name again?” Elisa asked Sissy.
“Marco Shoops,” Sissy responded.
“Oh yes, call him and tell him that I very much liked his work and that I want him to come and work for Pose Magazine.”
“I will Elisa when you tell me what is eating you.” Sissy said sternly.
“Did you just get stern with me Sissy and not do right away what I asked of you?” Elisa was irked by it.
“I will do as you ask as soon as you talk to me. I am worried about you Elisa. You did not get furious with me when I walked right into your office, you said nothing about the coffee being cold, and you are letting me call you by your first name after how many years of working together? I want Elisa and I want to know what you have done with her. The Elisa I know would not have allowed that. I care about you Elisa. We are best friends. We are like sisters.” Sissy knew about what had ensued between Elisa and her sister Cara.
