Cross Destiny

Part-time Job

I woke up with a jolt. It's not everyday you turn into a complete nutcase. I wonder what that dream was about. I sit up and rub my head as I had already started to feel the formation of the bump on my head. As I was making my way to out of the living room, the big grandfather clock caught my eye. Crap! It was way past 6pm. How long did I sleep for? Well, that's not what I'm supposed to be worried about. I'm supposed to head to my part time job! Yea, you must be thinking ''but she got a mansion of a house'' Well sorry to burst your bubble but I can't just sit around all day. I got deadlines to meet and food to eat. So I gotta work. You must also be wondering why I never tried renting out the house. You know damn well why. I mean, you do know what happens to the people who rent out houses in horror movies....well, they're the first ones to die. Anyway, I gotta run.

A whole eternity later~

Finally! Reached the place. I found the manager just in time! ''Hey! I'm the here for the job interview-''

''Your late! Recite John verse 3, chapter 16 in the bible in Japanese if you wanna get hired!'' The bartender yelled.

Looks like you underestimate me!

''     ヨハネ 3:16-18 神は、ご自分の独り子をお与えになったほどに、世を愛されました。それは、彼を信じる者が一人も滅びず、永遠の命を持つためです。

(Yohane 3: 16 Kami wa, go jibun no hitorigo o o atae ni natta hodo ni, yo o aisa remashita. Sore wa, kare o shinjiru mono ga hitori mo horobizu, eien no inochi o motsu tamedesu.)''

(Please do not curse me if you feel like there's something wrong with the verse. Apologies in advance.....)

''OK, you're hired!''

Wow. That was easy! So strange. But as long as I got a job.

Third Persons' View:
You may think that this was the most absurd way of hiring a person for a job, but this is how the locals do it.

Lucy went inside the changing room with the uniform that the bartender had given her. After 3 minutes, she got out of the changing room and went towards the counter. The place wasn't as bustling as expected. It was quite empty.

''Is there anything I should be doing?'' I said feeling out of place.

''Yes can you please take this to table no. 6'' The bartender handed me a bottle of champagne.

Lucy's POV :

No problem. I went to the table that had the label as '6'. There were 2 dudes who were talking in some weird language which I didn't get much thought into. Suddenly, another waitress came and snatched the champagne bottle from me and took it to the table. I mean, I get that the two guys were good-looking but lady, control yourself. I quietly watched the whole fiasco from the corner of my eye while assisting the bartender make some alcohol.

The waitress not only tried to squeeze in with the two men, but she also opened her front button to reveal her breasts. I kinda overlooked but now that I closely paid attention, there were three guys.

I don't know about the other two, but this one was strange. I think he felt that I was staring at him. He looked my way and we locked eyes. For some reason, I could feel the heat spreading from my face to my ears.

Before anyone of us could blink, I felt my head throb. I could feel eveeything spinning. I think it was because of the fall from earlier. Thank goodness I had my break right now. The bartender was generous enough to let me take a break. I guess he thought I felt uncomfortable since it's my new day and all. I went in and took a quick nap, thinking that my headache would go away. All I could think at that moment was my head. But strangely, that man's eyes lingered in my thoughts. Those scarlet eyes, that looked like he'd seen a ghost.

I think I've seen that face somewhere before.....but where?
