Chapter
One

“I’m
here, come on down.” Regina put her phone away, watching Maxine come down the
steps, wearing a black pencil skirt with a fuchsia blouse. She always envied
how her friend wore such nice things. She could never wear such things with her
full figure.

“Good
morning, I didn’t think you were going to be here to pick me up on time,”
Maxine replied with a teasing smile, getting into the car.

“Now
you know I am always on time to pick you up.” She shook her head, not taking
the bait. “How was your date last night?”

“Oh,
you know I enjoy picking on you Regina and as far as my date, it went just
fine, he took me to that fancy new French restaurant over off of Ivy and
Dunne,” Maxine told her while checking her mail on her phone.

“Lucky
girl, I heard that place is really nice.” Regina had often resented hearing
about Maxine’s date nights. Though she’d never let her know this because it was
fun to live vicariously through her and her exploits. She’d never be lucky with
men like Max.

Regina
wasn’t your average everyday girl from around the way. With her smarts, she
didn’t quite fit in with most people, she wasn’t outgoing or the life of the
party like a lot women her age. She was lucky to have a friend like Maxine, who
helped her get a job in the mailroom, when she moved to the small town of
Henderson. Regina had been working at Nichols, Tatum, Rutherford, a marketing
company for about eight months and despite her lowly job, it kept her happy,
except for when she actually had to go and deliver the mail. Interacting with
new people was the part of the job she honestly didn’t like. A bit of a loner,
Regina’s shyness toward men was known to get the best of her, usually to the
point of literally freezing up. She wasn’t one to follow fashion or be the
trendy type. Today was no exception as she had dressed in a pair of black
slacks and red shirt, along with her trusty black sneakers that she always wore
while delivering the mail. Her hair, despite the fact of its constant messy
state, was always worn in a bun held by at least three or four pens and
pencils.

When
they got to the office building and went inside, Regina turned to her friend
and said, “I’ll talk with you later, have a good day Max.”

“You
too Regina, I’ll meet you for lunch.”

When
she walked inside the mailroom, she saw Linda, Ada, and Patrick already sorting
through some of Saturday’s mail.

“Hey
Gina, could you please help us out once you’ve clocked in?” asked Patrick, who
managed everybody in the mailroom, yet didn’t mind pitching in where needed.
