"...okay and besides that, all you really need to do is schedule appointments and answer the phone", Mike's dad was explaining to me how to do the job. I woke up around 7am, left my house around 8am then got to the office half an hour before it opened so he could show me the ropes. After my lunch break I came back to the reception to open the office again. When I sat down I got a text from Mike...
Mike: how's the job, I still haven't gone for lunch yet : just had lunch your dad is the best he brought me food Mike: I told him to : thanks
My thoughts were interrupted by a cough. I looked up and saw this really cute guy, I couldn't help but to blush. "Hi do you have an appointment?" I barely was able to say something I've been saying all day. It's been a long time since I've seen someone this cute and it clearly shows. "Yeah, Cortez for one o'clock", I went to look at the schedule. "Alright just take a seat and Doctor Brown will call out when he's ready?" I gave him a smile and pointed over to the waiting area. He smirked before turning around and taking a seat right across from my desk. I just tried to look at my computer pretending I had something to do so I didn't look stupid. I would catch him looking at me every once in a while and it'd have me feel embarrassed. "Cash come on in" Mr Brown had called him into the room. He smiled at me before going in.
30 minutes later
In the past twenty minutes there were about three other and a mom with his son that came to check in for their appointment when that guy came out of the room and called for the next. He came up to me asking how much it was going to be and I took his card and charged it for the fee. "So you're new", I looked up and he was waiting for me to answer. "Yep" keeping it short and sweet, "would you like a receipt?". He shook his head, "nah it's okay, but I'd like your number". I furrowed my brows, "that's not very professional is it?". He got to thinking, "how about you give me the number to that landline and we can keep it professional?". I couldn't help but to chuckle at what he said. I sat there thinking for a second, "you're really sweet but I'm pretty busy on the weekends anyway". I mean honestly, even if I wanted to date I couldn't because I'd be at the club on the weekend. "How about tonight?", he was really smooth about this and it was intriguing. "Okay" I wrote my address on a post it and gave it to him, "if you're dead ass pick me up from my house at 6:30 tomorrow night". He was confused, "no number?". I was saved by a phone call and answered it. He chuckled, "see you tomorrow night" then he walked out. What the fuck is going on.
4pm
"Thanks Mr Brown I'll see you tomorrow", I finished my shift and walked out to the lot's car park. There was a little shop on the other side of the lot and I felt like a Coca-Cola so I walked over to get a drink. As I walked through the door my mom called me. She was asking me to get her a flask of vodka but I told her I'd get her anything else, on the phone I walked past a group at the register and went straight to the refrigerator. "Alright mom Marlboro red, I'll see you when I get home okay" and I hung up the phone looking up at the fridge when I heard someone next to me making me look to my right. I grabbed my coke and pushed past Oscar. "Hey when you gonna come over again" he looked down at my office attire. I know I looked real good, on some real suits type shit. I went to the counter ignoring him and asked for the cigarettes for my mum. Before I was able to pay Oscar put down a 50 dollar note and insisted on paying. The store owner took it and i scoffed before storming out of the store. "Hey! estoy hablando contigo", he followed me out into the car park. I stopped in my tracks to turn around the stormed towards him. As I got close I started to punch him in the chest before spitting at his feet. "Fuck you spooky", then I turned to head back to my car. Oscar was following behind and when I tried to open my driver door he slammed it shut. "For fuck sake Oscar, I really don't want to be doing this right now", I was pretty frustrated because today was a long day. "What are you wearing?" He bit his lip looking down at my outfit. "I work with Mike's dad now", I avoided any eye contacting "I need the money". We stood in silence before his arm started making his way around my waist til I stopped it. "Don't do this to me", I looked down at the floor and pushed him out of the way of the car door. "Well you know that we could give you some jobs if you want", I shook my head. "Good bye Oscar", I closed the door and drove away.
