Secret

A Date?

Today marks 11 months since Ayana began working with Miles at the diner. She was so excited because today she was going to make the first move. She was going to as him out. What should she wear, how should she ask? Maybe a friend who knows him would know what to do. After her shift or on break, she'd ask one of the guys. She's been crushing on him for a while now and thought it was time. She walked to the elevator and takes it to the lower level. Carrying a folder, along with with all her information and the files on the potential clients he wanted her to check out for him. Miles, who just so happened to be in the middle of the room, behind her as she finally came in and sat down, was secretly checking her out, trying to get a feel of what it'd be like to see things from her POV.

"You must be Milo. I'm Ayana." They shake hands and Milo sits at his desk. "I am he,he is me. She smiles at him and that was followed by a moment of awkward silence. "What can I do for you today, young lady?" "Well I was looking into trying to get a job here. I seen that you guys were hiring, you know needing more dancers or waitresses. I'm willing to do both. I'm a struggling college student. I'm in my last year of college so.... She trails off and awaits his answer. He straightened his posture and leaned over into her face. "I think I can help you out, sweetheart, I feel like you have potential and would be a great asset to the company." So when do you think you'll be able to start."? I'm willing to start today if you're willing to have me - I mean hire me. She was now jittery. That was not what she was expecting to escape her lips. Hopefully he doesn't penalize her for that. "Well Ms Vermont, for good behavior I reward my employees". He says looking straight into her eyes slowly smirking. He moved back and sat with his back to the chair. "So Ms. Vermont, what will you bring to this establishment aside from you."? He questions, subconsciously biting his lip and staring into her eyes. Knowing the questions he is asking were highly inappropriate, she just shrugged and thought to on how she'd answer the question to the best of her abilities and to his liking.

      "Well, I intend to give my all and prioritize the more important things here without hesitation. You can count on me for sure, sir. Anything you need, I'm for sure the one to call on. " And with that,Milo grabbed a clipboard with paperwork attached.  Everything you need to know about the company, including me, is in the questionare. She skimmed through the syllabus as he watches her carefully. "So tell me, what made you want to work in an adult entertainment center? He asked hoping she would have a dirty little remark like she did when at the diner.  "I'm honestly looking for something to do with my time while I'm off for the summer." I thought I should be earning my upkeep as well so I can afford to buy the things I want for my dorm. (She refers to her bedroom as a dorm because of its size and whatnot)  Oh, seems like a plan but why not just get a regular 9-5.? Are you not confident enough to - before he finishes the sentence,a powerful sting was felt on his face. "Ugh, how dare you say that. What a jackass you are. I like you. She said as she was inches away from him now. Still holding his cheek,he takes back the clipboard and turned to the computer typing in the information she wrote it their respective boxes.

            "It'll take 1-2 business days to process it but I will make an exception for YOU".  "You can start officially today. I'll show you around, the do's and don'ts of the company and where the break room and res trooms are." There are 2 floors. One is strictly for higher ups and the lower floor - which is where we stand - is for everyone. The cafeteria and other things are that way. He pointed towards the visible vending machine in the middle of the room. "If the vending machine in anyway,starts acting up, just tap it a few times and you get free snacks". He whispered the last part. She giggled, covering her mouth. He escorts her to the break room, opening the door for her. Ms Vermont,he says sticking out his hand in the direction of the inside of the break room. She entered the room, looking around to see if she likes it. There were some people in the corner of the room on both sides of the room.  They didn't pay either of them no mind, so they just keep walking and talking. He walked her to the table he sits at and pulled out a chair for her to sit. She smiles towards him as a silent "Thank You". He smiled back. He proceeded walk over to the vending machine, retrieved snacks for them to eat until it was lunch time.
