Ch 18

"Yeah. You're right." She offered me a small smile.

"I know I am." I jokingly nudged my elbow in her side, which made us both break into laughter once again, before I felt my phone buzzing in my back pocket.

I rolled my eyes knowing exactly who it was but still chose to reach for it. 

"Shit.." I mumbled under my breath, she was calling me. Normally she just sends me a message, but to ring me? 

I answered it and lifted it up to my ear but decided to not say anything. 

"Aurora." Her deep voice rung through my ears. 

I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued to not say anything.

I heard her let out a deep sigh before speaking again, "You are really testing me today, little one. If your ass isn't sat at your desk in the next five minutes, I will make sure you aren't able to sit for a week." She abruptly hung up. 

"Who was that?" Jen's voice made me jump slightly, my throat was now completely dry so I sipped some of my latte before trying to think of a lie to give her. 

"Just someone trying to sell me some windows." I gave her a small smile in hopes she would believe me.

"Fucking spam callers." I snorted at her reply. 

"What?! There is nothing worse than some ass trying to sell you shit and take your hard-earned money." Jen started to rant whilst my mind had instantly gone to Cameron.

I no longer had a job and if Alexandria can't help me out then I need to start looking for another. I don't want to rely on her anyway, let alone take her money. 

"Jen."

"Aurora." I looked at her mischievously and she smirked at me in response. 

"Do you wanna look for a job with me? Imagine what we could get up to working together..." I laughed and saw her think for a second. 

"Duh. Let's do it girl. What sort of job are you thinking?" 

"Well. Apparently there's a gay club down the road. Do you think they will let us work there? I couldn't think of anything better than working around a bunch of like-minded people." I winked playfully and saw Jen's eyes light up.

"Yes, yes and yes. We have to at least try. Should we go now and have a look?" Jen was bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Sure." I smiled at her.

Quite some time had passed. It must have been well into the lesson by now whilst me and Jen were trying to convince the manager of 'Divine' to give us a job. I'm surprised he was even entertaining our idea let alone actually considering it. 

"You know what. Fine. You girls can pour drinks and clean after close. We don't normally get a whole load of students wanting to work here, but I guess I can make you two ladies an exception. However, if I see you even try and taste the tiniest bit of alcohol, I will throw you out of the club myself. Do we have a deal?" The man held out his hand.

Jen shook it first, and then I followed.

"Deal." Jen proudly exclaimed.

"Great. I'll see you both tomorrow at 8pm for your induction shift. If you aren't up to my expectations, then you're a goner." The man smugly smiled.

"Wow. You're a mean gay." Jen huffed. 

"Not mean hunny, just a perfectionist." I snorted at Jen's butt-hurt facial expression.
