'Please you can't do this to me.' I cried.
'I just did.' He said.
'Please Mr. Jay. Just think about it.' Candice began.
'Yeah Mr. Jay. You can't fire her. She's just late once.' Dane told him.
'She won't be late again.' Candice said.
'You won't be right Erika?' Dane asked me.
'I-I won-won't.' I managed to say.
'Please give her a chance.' Candice wailed.
'Fine whatever. But I am gonna punish you anyways.' He said strictly.
I nodded.
'You will work an extra shift today, you will take out the trash in the end and you will lock up. Got it?' He asked.
I nodded.
I worked an extra shift. Today A LOT! of customers came. Like the place was so crowded. I am so exhausted I don't think I can walk. At the end I took out the trash. The place was all empty. I was the only one there. I locked up and walked out.
'Hey!' Candice exclaimed and put an arm around me.
'You are here?' I asked surprised.
'Yup!' I heard Dane's voice.
'You too?' I asked happily.
He nodded.
'Thank you for today.' I told them both.
'No problem Erika.' Dane said putting an arm around me. I smiled at him.
'Who were the two hotties who were here yesterday?' Candice asked.
'Oh they. The one with black hair was Luke and the other one with dark brown hair was Shane.' I replied.
'Whoa, you got two boyfriends?' Dane asked. He sounded impressed.
'Ugh no Dane. Luke is my boyfriend. Shane is just my friend.' I told him.
'Wow.' Candice said. I laughed.
'Why did you push us away yesterday? Don't they know that you work here?' Dane asked.
'No.' I replied.
'Why?' Candice asked.
'Because if Shane comes to know he will tell my dad that I spent all my allowance.' I whined.
'Poor you.' Dane said patting my head. I look like a kid in front of them. Well I am pretty younger than them too. SO....
'You know the guys at work really like you.' Candice said grinning.
'I don't really think so.' I replied laughing.
'It's true.' Candice repeated.
'Why do they like me?' I asked.
'You are cute. That's why.' She replied.
I scoffed.
'Literally?' I said rolling my eyes.
'Well you are cute.' Dane said.
I turned my head towards Dane. I gave him an angry look.
Candice laughed.
'So Dane you have a girlfriend?' I asked.
'Yup.' He replied.
'I am his girlfriend.' Candice said and planted a kiss on his lips.
