I may not like my job but it's something at least. I make good money and have benefits. Plus I'd rather have a 9-5 than nothing at all. I don't go anywhere much so I always have money on me. Only thing I buy is clothes and food. That's all I really need truthfully.

"Excuse me? Oh! Hi Mari!" I turn around seeing that girl from art. Was it Kennedi or Cassie? I don't remember but it was something around that area.

"Ohhh! Wassup Cady." He completely ignored her sigh from him messing up her name. He rolls his eyes seeing her just stare. She looks up at him as he squints trying to figure out why she's not saying anything. He didn't like when people stared. It made him feel uncomfortable or a problem to someone. He didn't like that at all.

"Oh nothing, my dad needed something from here. I didn't know you worked here. I've been meaning to ask you are you single?" He sighs checking the time seeing he got here 30 minutes ago. He wanted to go home but he needed his money.

"I uhh-" He didn't know what to say. Him and Jenna weren't dating. Yet. He didn't know what to think. Tell her yes? Or tell her no? She tilts her head walking closer. He freezes feeling her grab his large hand with a rub. He pushes her away gently before running to the back room. He goes inside the employee restroom washing his hands. Somehow she made him feel dirty or something. He didn't like that feeling. He shivers looking into the mirror while his skin crawled.

He sits in the car smoking a large blunt he rolled. He needed it. He was stressed and tired. His stomach growls loudly allowing him to chuckle from the loud grumbling. He needed food. Something good. He was higher than all outdoors. What was it called? Icee? Thrill? Thrill!

"Hey Jenna?" She yawns so tiredly making him smile. She looks in the camera seeing him in the car. He hadn't eaten all day and wanted to spend time with her. He enjoyed her company.

"Yes? You worked today?" He nods as she stares seeing him casually blow smoke from his lips. She sits up from her bed while he just stared with a tiny smile. She only had one a crop top and shorts. Without a bra.

"I was wondering if you wanted to chill with me and maybe get a thrill, is it? That's what it's called ma?" She smiles softly as he takes a look in the camera. She nods before getting up from the comfort of her bed and grabbing something quick to wear.

"Sure."

They sit in the car watching the stars together like usual. He smokes his blunt while she listens to the music. He let her connect to his Bluetooth. He didn't allow everyone to do that. But he did. Just with her.

"I fucks with it." She giggles seeing his eyes red and low. He looked so good right now. He had his hair up in a big ponytail and his glasses off as usual. He side eyes the smaller woman seeing her just staring at the side of his face. He chuckles as she giggles seeing she was caught.

"Something on ma' face?" She grabs his chin letting his gaze fall into her. He blushes seeing her an inch away from his face. She smiles kissing his nose then his cheek.

"Can I?" He nods as she stares at his big pink lips. She smiles scooting closer. He unloosens her seatbelt and his so they couldn't be interrupted. She pulls him closer letting his lips touch hers. She tilts her head slightly as he sucks on her bottom lip. He moans feeling her tongue parade around his mouth. He could taste the sweetness of the frozen treat on her breath. He pulls back quickly with a beating heart and the feeling of his pants rising.

"Uhh. You wanna go on a walk?" She nods as he gets out the car. He adjusts himself quickly before he walks around to open the door for her.

"I think I like you." She smiles as he takes a look at her. He never really been in a relationship before or anything close to it. He just knew he felt something every time he saw her. She scoots closer to him with a small smile. She lays her head on his chest feeling his strong heartbeat as they look at the stars.

"I know I like you." He smiles kissing her head.

"What nie'?" He asks curiously hoping they could be something more.

"We take it slow. Just be friends for now." He nods in agreement as she coos at this one star. It was beautiful and shined like no other. He didn't mind if they took it slow. They've gotten so close he forgot they just met not too long ago. That's how good their bond was.

"So no kissing?" He questions with a grin while she scrunched her face up.

"I ain't say all that nie'." He chuckles as she holds him tight. She could forever look at the stars with him. This was now her favorite place. Very peaceful and stress free. She loved it.

"When's your curfew?"

"11:30."

"Good. We got time."
