Manipulator (red eye fan fic)

A special someone?

I watched Jackson walk into the bank, as I waved. He didn't see me. I didn't care, I was worried about getting the job, not Jackson. I walked in the cafe and smiled at the people working.

"Hi! Are you guys hiring?"

"Ah yes we are! We have a spot for the waitress, but you will need to do the interview online dear"

"That's fine! I will do it right away!"

"I drove home, and started up my computer. I sat it on my lap as I sat on the couch.

Once I finished the interview, I was very confident that i would get the job.

4 hours later I got a email. I quickly jumped up from the couch to open my computer. I was so excited, but I also needed to be prepared for the worst. I looked and it said I got the job! I was so excited to start. I started next Monday, but I was doing training on Saturday and Sunday.

(Time skip to Thursday night)
I was laying on my couch, watching a movie. I was eating popcorn, just relaxing. I got a call, it was Jackson.

"Jackson! Hey what's up?"

"Hey Brooke, would you like to come with me on a date Friday night? It doesn't have to be a date, not if you don't wa-"

"Yes of course! I would love to, as a date"

"Perfect, I'll pick you up on Friday, 6"

"See you!"

I hung up the phone, I was so happy. I was dancing, squealing, and cheering. I have never been so happy before. Jackson was so handsome, I can't believe I caught his eye.

I took a sip of my red wine. My life was really good! And I needed a minute to appreciate it, because after this I'm sure something bad will happen, it always does. After something great happens to you,  your life turns to shit. It sucks but it's the truth. But your life will soon turn back to normal. I put a cardigan over my white slip, just to give me some warmth, and I hopped into bed, turning off my lamp.

In the morning I woke up, it was 10:30. I woke up a bit late but it was okay. I was so excited for the date tonight I wanted to get ready early. I went downstairs to the kitchen, and made myself pancakes with fruit. It was delicious, once I finished it was 11:00. I needed to take my time, it's not like the date was right away. I sat on the couch, thinking of what to watch, when I came across fight club. I put it on, and washed the dishes. It was now 11:30. I was looking at the clock constantly, waiting, wanting time to pass by. I needed to see Jackson. I crave him. I paused the movie and ran upstairs. I changed into a black leather mini skirt, and a white button-up shirt. I didn't do my makeup since I was going to get ready for tonight later.

I hopped in my car, I wanted to go for a drive. I loved quiet music, but when I came to deftones I loved loud music. Be quiet and drive came on, so I turned it up loudly. I sang to it. Almost screaming. Once I got into town I turned it down, hoping that nobody would hear me. Once I parked my car at the convenience store, I saw a special someone, talking with a sketchy looking guy. It was Jackson. He glanced at me and smirked. He started to walk over to me, I was so happy to see him. I waved at him, and hugged him.

"Hello sweetheart, how are you?"

"I'm good, what about you?"

"Ah I'm fine, excited for the date?"

"Yes! Of course I can't wait!"

"Great, anyway I have some business to attend, I will see you later."

"Yep."

I watched as Jackson returned to his car and drove away. He made me feel good, even though it's been only a week since I met him, he still makes me happy. I've always wondered what he did for a living, what was his job. I suppose I'll ask him tonight.

I looked around the store, I grabbed toilet paper, a chocolate bar, and a Gatorade. I checked in and I paid the 8.95, and left. I drove passed a few fancy restaurants, guessing which one he would bring me to. I was so obsessed with him, I just needed to keep my cool, not trying to be so obsessed with him. What if he breaks my heart? What if he leaves me for some slut at a strip club? I was almost sweating myself at the thought.

I parked my car in the driveway of the small house and went inside. It was now 1:22 Pm so I still had time. I had 5 hours to get ready, so I thought I would just use 2 hours to chill. I put on the rest of fight club and laughed at the movie. It was an amazing movie, it was my favourite.

I couldn't stop thinking about Jackson, he was so handsome, I couldn't wait for the date.
