It was 3:30, the end of the school day and I had to get going to work. I got to the licor store and started my shift, working at a popular store was a pain in the arse because you always had old men asking for your number and it also reminded me of how I met manny.
He always used to come in and steal a small bottle of vodka for us to 'share' later even tho I didn't like it and I never really liked him so therefore I never drank it.

I was daydreaming as usual until a familiar voice said
'hey'
I turn around to see Corey leaned over the counter
'One bottle of Jack Daniels please' he says handing me a fake ID in between his two fingers
I just smiled and shook my head
'For real?'
'Yes for real..I thought you could have one up in the woods with me and the band later' he replied
'What a seventeen year old with a bunch of '21' year olds? Sound a bit dodgy if you ask me'
He just laughed while handing me the 20 note to pay
'But can you?'
'yeah sure, my shift ends in 5 minutes so I'll be there soon'
'cool! Can I wait for you?'
'I mean yeah if you want to but you don't have to'
'I'll wait out the back for you'
'Thanks Corey'
'Anytime y/n'

At 6:30 the store always gets busy so we usually have a line of people waiting to be served. While the line stopped I turned around to see who had been texting me

----------------------------
'father 🖤'
'Hey kiddo I'm really sorry but I'm going to Middleton , boss has decided that's where the killer is'
It's ok dad don't worry xx
'Thank you honey love you xx'
I love you too dad stay safe xx
'I will if you will'
I will xx

                         BANG BANG BANG
Someone's fist thumping on the counter to get my attention. I turn around to see a face that I didn't want to see
'Did I scare ya?'
'What do you want manny?' I roll my eyes
'To see my gorgeous girlfriend at work'
'I'm not your girlfriend manny'
'You are. Don't start this shit with me bitch you know it turns me on'
'What turns you on manny boy?' Corey says appearing behind him
Manny ended up getting embarrassed and turning as red as blood
'N..nothing' he replied trying to cover his face
'What are you even doing here?' He snapped to Corey
'Wow chill I'm here to pick up y/n snappy pants'
'Of course' he says giving me a dirty look then rolling his eyes
'Got a problem with that?' Corey asks him while I'm getting ready to go
'Yeah I do..she's my girlfriend and if you touch her you are dead'
'Your the one that does that buddy not me' Corey whispers to him, patting his chest then opening the door for me.
I walk out the door and Corey catches up wrapping one arm around my waist

We got to the back of the licor store and hopped in his car. There was this weird awkward tension
'I didn't know you and him were a thing' he states sounding hurt breaking that tension
'Ughh'  I groan
'What?'
'We're not and I keep telling him we're not but he just replies with 'that turns me on'. Like what does it take for him to realise that I'm not with him and I never will be' I reply getting frustrated
'Maybe he just needs to realise that no means no'
'You think?' I say sarcastically
Corey and I laugh
