𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐓 [ᴄ.sᴛʀɴʟ] ON GOING

𝐒𝐈𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍

I take the money of the register and hand it to him. Suddenly i feel hands grabbing my shoulders...I shiver from the touch of the cold hands.

"How is work going ?" asks the person behind me

I turn around and see Chris with that specific smile he has. He scared the shit out of me.

"Oh my god, Chris ! The fuck you're doing behind my register, you can't do that. I'm working !"

"I wanted to see how you were doing !" he protests

"But no-" i turn toward Dan "Sorry, here is your money. Sorry for the scene, see you tomorrow"

I grab Chris' hand and lead him in the changing rooms.

"The fuck you're doing ?" i say kind of mad at him

"What ? I didn't do anything" he says falsely innocently

"I don't like the idea of you being so tactile with me in front of the customers. That's super embarrassing !" i continue

"Oh so now you're mad at me 'cause i ruined your little date with that guy ?" he says

"How are you serious ? You literally trespassed my personal space, like yeah you're my friend, you're familiar with my workspace and all, but not that far and that has literally nothing to do with that guy so stop being possessive"

"I'm not possessive ! I just wanted to know how you were doing !"

"Of course but there were no need to cut my conversation and grab me by the shoulders like i'm your property...You're such a baby, Chris" i cross my arms "We shouldn't even have this conversation right now..."

"Alright, then we're done !" he leaves the room

I sigh in fatigue...Nice conversation to end my workday...I take off my work clothes and wear my normal clothes then i go back to the shop. Nick and Matt are here waiting for me with the snacks in hand.

"Hi...where is Chris ?"

"He went back to the car, i think" Matt answers as he passes me his articles

"Fun to see you're happy to us..." says Nick falsely offended

"Nick, you already know who my favorite is and it's not Chris and definitely not Matt" i say "No offense Matt"

"You're not supposed to say no offense after saying something offensive, you know ?" answers Matt

"Don't argue kids ! Make love not war" declare Nick

"Ew, no" says Matt with a disapproving look

I giggle at Matt's disgusted face. I just love teasing Matt, literally my favorite hobby. I closed my register and the store with the boys. We getting close to the van.

"I have a little surprise for you..." says Nick mysteriously

"Really ?" i answer excited

Nick open the door of the van and a girl is sitting in the back talking with Chris.

"Ivy, here is Alahna. Alahna, here is Ivy !"

"Oh hi Alahna ! Nick can't stop talking about you" i hug her

"Hi, same for me. At some point, i thought you were a celebrity" she says letting me room so i can sit next to her

***

During all the car drive, Chris kept ignoring me. He is definitely mad at me. Alahna, Nick and I are talking in his bedroom. It's about 11pm. We've been talking for hours and Alahna is so cool just like Nick described her to me. It's getting really dark outside.

"Guys, i think i am going to call Benji so he can pick me up cause it's really dark outside" i say

"Yes, sure. Go ahead" approves Nick

"Who is Benji ?" asks Alahna, in full incomprehension

"Benji is personal driver and bodyguard" i say ironically

"Wait...Are you for real ?" she asks

"Yeah..." i laugh at her chocked face "No just kidding. Benji is my best friend"

"Oh my god, i really thought"

I get to the kitchen to grab my phone and i walk into Chris getting a Pepsi can from the fridge. As soon as he sees me, he tries to run away but i grabbed him by the hood of his hoodie.

"Stop avoiding me, Chris" i say, still gripping on his hood

"I am not avoiding you. I'm just trying to go peacefully in my bed with my Pepsi can without you trespassing my personal place" he answers

"Stop being mad at me" i hug him

"Let me go, Ivy" he says trying to undo my hold on him

"I'll let you go when you will forgive me" i hold him tighter

"You're literally crushing my guts, right now" he exaggerates

"What do i have to do so you can forgive me ?" i ask, still holding him

"Ok...tell me who was the guy at the shop"  he says

"You're really asking that...Well..." i sigh to leave suspense "It's my new coworker, nothing to worry about ! Just a super hot guy working me" i say to tease him

"Ivy, stop playing with my heart..." he pinches my chin

"Eyo...don't say that...We are supposed to be friends..." i end the hug "No heart, no feelings..." i blush

"You know damn well that we are not just friends" he says, causing my heart to pound inside of my chest
