Beware: mini smut scene

Friday Afternoon

I let out a big sigh as I dread getting up for work. I've been scrolling on my phone for about an hour. It was eleven thirty, and I had to be at Hot Topic by noon. We can't wear exotic clothing to work, just black, so I had my clothes taken care of. I put my phone down, pulled the covers over my head and let out a humerus scream.

There was a knock on my door. "Whmm?," I said, muffled.

My mother opened the door, "I could have sworn you had to go to work today," she raised an eyebrow with a small smirk.

I sat up bringing myself out of hiding, "Yes I do, I just would rather stay in my bed," I sighed.

"Mmmmm well only hard workers get ice cream," she said, loving the bite of mint chocolate chip in front of me. I rolled my eyes as she turned to walk out of my room.

"Umm excuse mother! That's my shirt!," I called her when I saw her in my signed Ariana Grande T shirt.

"Yes, and? You can't wear it today anyway," my mom blew me a sarcastic kiss and left the room.

I had to get up. I pulled my low fuel body from my bed and drug my feet across the floor into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed myself up. I slipped on my underwear and bra just before entering my room. I walked to my closet pulling out black leggings and a black short sleeve crop, with white hearts scattered upon it. I paired it with my all black vans.

When I exited my driveway. It was about twelve forty five pm. I glanced over to Hope's house, only for my thoughts to creep in. It's not like I thought that Hope was getting involved with Malia, it's just I didn't want it to happen. Hope was everything to me, I didn't have to think twice about that. I knew that Hope had her college fair today and that she had invited me. I texted my coworker to let him know that I was going to be late,

I arrive at the building filled with humans who had their life together. I get out of my shit brown station wagon in awe of how big this building was. I scanned the scene for Hope, to find her standing with Malia at the first stand to my right. Again, Malia. I waved forcefully to Hope but she didn't see me. I walked through the long crowd of people to find a beautiful girl waiting for me. She jumped, laying eyes on me, walking over to give me a kiss of a greeting.

Hope and I scattered the stands for colleges. I still didn't know what I was going to do. I think that Hope sensed my uncertainty. She asked me if I wanted to look at certain stands multiple times. The law school stands didn't seem to fit, neither did the police academy, so I just got papers from LoveBurn. They'll have multiple options anyway. I wasn't thinking about the future right now, I wanted to be with Hope.

I had lunch with Hope and Malia in the big cafeteria. Our conversation did not last long, as Hope's internship supervisor needed her assistance. I didn't mind the conversation. I was willing to wait on Hope until I saw Malia stroke her hand down Hope's arm. At that point, I dropped my lunch and left.

I don't know how I made it to work, I spaced out while driving. I don't know if the red lights were green or if the green lights were red. I was driving in airplane mode. When I entered the store Christian was already waiting for my arrival.

"You don't look any better this afternoon," he smiled, handing me a cup of tea, him drinking one himself.

"Are you telling me I looked terrible yesterday?," I joked, sitting my things behind the counter.

"Woah, what? No I just meant-", he fumbled.

"Relax Chris, I'm just kidding", I motioned my hand to stop.

"Oh, right", he said nervously rubbing, the nape of his neck.

"You didn't put anything in this did you?", I raised an eyebrow adding a smirk, hoping he'd catch my drift.

"No, why? Would you like me to?", Christian gave me a wink. We shared a laugh.

Friday Evening
Today has been going by extremely slowly. It's really annoying because it is my last day and I am ready to get out of here. I don't have anything to keep me occupied in between cleaning and customers, I left my phone in the car by accident. The only thing keeping me amused is the gracious flirting of Christian.

I sighed big, "Is it eight o'clock yet?", I then chuckled.

"Oh no. There is no way you are leaving early again. I am not closing the store by myself, and plus you were late," Christian said with a stern grin.

"Dude, look around. No one has come through here for hours", I looked at the clock on the wall, as I stood in the middle of the floor. "We could literally close the store early," I exclaimed, flailing my arms.

Christian started to laugh at me, "Tess, your face has started to match your hair. What's wrong with you?,".

My face dropped without any emotion, "What do you mean?", I bugged my eyes. Christian raised his eyebrows as a way to ask for me to tell him the truth. I'm telling you, those convincing eyes will get you everytime.

I walked back behind the counter to where Christian had been standing.
"Okay so, I was late because Hope invited me to her college fair that she had today," I explained to him softly.

"Oh congrats. So you guys are doing good then," he asked, trying to gain assurance.

I lowered my eyes, "I witnessed Hope and Malia together. They seemed close, really close" I swallowed the pressure in my throat.

"Oh man Tess, come here," Christian pulled me into a strong hug. I started to bawl, being hugged so tight in an emotional state. "Tess, it's okay. Everything will work out for the better. Look at me Tess," Christian pulled away from the hug, cupping my cheeks with both hands, "You will be okay, I promise," he softly grinned at me. My teary eyes were locked with his. My eyes softened as his grin faded and his eyes bowed. Those convincing eyes got me once again.

His lips pressed against mine quickly under the store light. Smoothly brushing against my lips, I soon felt myself giving in to the taste of the sweet honey tea he had a drink of earlier. This was simple, sweet, almost innocent. Almost. His hands ran down my back pulling down my leggings, swiftly lifting me up onto the counter. The kiss never broke, I found my way to unbutton his jeans taking out his bulge. I started to work my wrist around his erection. He scooted me closer to him as he opened me up with two fingers, I let out a loud moan. "Shh shhh", Christian hushed me. I quit my wrist work allowing him to slip his rod into my slippery slide. Our breathing became one with our movements. "Fuckkk," Christian moaned.

"More like what the fuck?," a small voice came from the center of the store.

I quickly jumped down from the counter pulling up my bottoms, fixing every piece of my clothing, Christian doing the same.

I came from around the counter to see Hope with flowers and balloons that said 'I'm Sorry'. The flowers dropped to the floor and the balloons released.
I quickly realized what I had done and I didn't know how she was about to react to what she just saw.

"Hope. Babe. I am so sorry, I-I didn't mean to. I was-Hope?," I pleaded cautiously.
Hope stood there in front of me shooketh, frozen, staring at the ground. She looked up at Christian who was standing behind me, then narrowed her eyes at me. I swallowed hard.

She raised an eyebrow at me, "So you're bi?"
