Chapter 11

                                                                   ~Hey Stalker~

My coworker Robin was showing me how to use the drink machines and how to clean and boring stuff like that whilst I was adjusting my skirt. It wasn't till in the afternoon I saw a guy I never thought I'd see again.
Steve walked through the back door and fished his hat out his bag I turn around shocked out of all the places in the world he has to work here!
I thought he had gone to college.
"Who's that?" I hear Steve ask.
"New worker her dad practically ordered me to hire her no resume or anything" Robin responds.
"Is she at least hot?" Steve asks.
Much hasn't changed with him.
"Oh so hot" robin says.
I smile and Steve walks out of the break room.
"Hi I don't believe we've met" he says holding his hand out to me.
I turn around and I see his eyes widen.
"Hey stalker" he says
I give him a weak smile.
"Hey asshole" in that moment I knew we were gonna be alright.
He walks past me and attends the customers.
I rub my hands through my hair stressed.
After an hour I go to the back for a break and Robin was sitting there reading a magazine with pictures of naked women.
She sees me and hides the magazine.
"I'm not judging" I hold my hands up.
"There's nothing to judge" Robin argues.
"Whatever you say" I respond.
I sit down on the window ledge and watch Steve fail at flirting with a girl.
I sigh as I watch him.
"Alright there is some weird sexual tension between you two" Robin says.
"What? No there's nothing between us" I reply.
"Oh really cause the way you two were looking at each other it looked like you had some unfinished business"
"I- we dated a month back that was it" I argue.
"Oh really?" She asks.
"Really!" I repeat.
"So you weren't in love?" She asks
I don't say anything and look back at Steve.
Was I I love with him? How would I know?
"How do you know if your in love with someone?" I question.
"Well  i don't know enjoy having there company and want to spend every second with them noticing all there features" Robin responds.
"Do you love girls?" I asks.
Robin nods her head.
I smile at her.
"Hey can you two help you don't get paid for letting me do all the work!" Steve says.
I jump through the window and pick up a scooper.
"Alrighty, one scoop of chocolate. That's a buck twenty five" Steve says handing an ice cream to a girl.
I stand behind him leaning against the wall watching him attempt to flirt.
"Ooh Purdue fancy" Steve gestures to the girls jumper.
"Yeah I'm excited" she give Steve her money.
"Yeah you know I considered it Purdue but then I was like you know what? I really think I need some real life experience you know before I hit college see what it feels like kinda like uh I don't know see what it's like to earn a working man's wage" god was he still talking.
The register beeps. "Oh I'm sorry I think that's like really important you know"
"Yeah totally" the girl says.
"Yeah anyways this was so fun we should maybe hang out this weekend" he drops the coins into the girls hand but it misses and goes everywhere. "Sorry about that maybe next weekend or"
"Yeah I'm busy" the girl declines.
"That's cool I'm working here next weekend so the following weekends better for me" Steve didn't get the hint that's she didn't want to go out with him.
"Uh no I'm sorry I can't" the girls walk away laughing.
"And another one bites the dust" Robin says pulling out a board. "You are 0 for 6 popeye"
"Yeah I know I can count" Steve leans against the counter.
"You know that means you suck" I tell him.
"Yeah I can read too"
"Since when?" Robin asks.
"It's this stupid hat I am telling you it is blowing my best feature" Steve responds.
"Yeah company policy really is a drag" Robin puts the board away.
"You know it's a crazy idea but have you considered telling the truth?" I ask.
"Oh you mean that I couldn't even get into tech and my douchbag dads trying to teach me a lesson I make 3 bucks an hour and I have no future? That truth?" Steve reply's.
"Hey twelve o'clock" Robin points behind Steve.
"Oh shit ok uh" Steve mutters. "I'm going in ok" Steve throws the hat over to me.
"Screw company policy"
"Omg your a new man" I say.
Steve shakes his head before Turing around.
"Ahoy ladies!" He shouts. "Didn't see you there would you guys like to set sail on this ocean of flavour with me? I'll be your captain Steve Harrington".
I roll my eyes and draw another line on the you suck section in the board. Robin shakes her head.
The girls pay for there ice cream and leave on there way out a group of guys whistles at them.
Robin, Steve and I all look up.
"Oh shit" I mutter as I watch Tommy H walk over to the counter.
"Yo Natalie where you been?" He shouts.
"Working im in debt" I tell him.
"What can I get you boys?" I ask pushing Steve out the way.
Tommy looks at Steve.
"What you doing working here?" Tommy asks Steve.
"That's none of your business" Steve spits.
"Just asking man not looking for any trouble" Tommy holds his hands up.
"Look are buying ice cream or not cause your scaring the customers" I say.
"Nah I just want to know if you can come to a party tonight?" Tommy asks.
"I'm working" I respond.
"What? That's not like you, you never turn down a party" he hits me on my arm.
"Sorry guys I'm not aloud to do that shit anymore" I push myself of the counter.
"Alright well I'll see ya" he waves at me.
"Bye moron" his friends shout at Steve.
I sigh as I watch them leave the shop.
I turn around.
"Tommy H? Really your friends with that douche bag?" Steve asks.
"Hey he's not a total douche" I defend him.
"Oh really!" Steve argues.
"Really" I repeat.
"He is horrible Natalie and I told you to stay away from him!" Steve responds.
"Yeah well that was before you chose your ex over me!" I shout I push open the door and slump down on a chair in the break room.
