Live your dream #Womenpower

Michael said I am pretty

"Sorry there is no vacancy"

"We don't employ students"

"The shop opens only during school hours"

"I don't think you'll be able to do this work"

I started to lose hope because I couldn't get any job near the school so that I can save myself the expense of taking a bus everyday. If it was near, I could just have walked to and back. I was starting to return back when I saw that there was a small ice cream parlor in the corner.

"Scoops And Smiles"

As I read the name a smile crept on my face, only the name itself attracted me to it so I went ahead and tried to see if I hold any chance.

When I entered the shop I saw that there was an old couple behind the counters but the parlor was completely empty.

"How can I help you sweetie?", the lady asked.

"Hello..umm, do you have a job vacancy by any chance?", I asked with a pleading face because this was seriously my last chance.

They both looked at each other when I said that. They kept staring at each other for a few seconds and I kept shifting from one foot to another hoping that they will agree. One thing that I could say for sure was that the couple was not happy at all. They looked sad and weak.

"I'm sorry sweetie. We can't help you. You won't like it", this time the man spoke.

"Why do you think that I won't like it? I'm willing to do it. I really need a job and I'll do my best not to disappoint you. Just try me once", I tried to convince them.

"We can see that you are a really dedicated girl darling but the problem is not with you. It's just that we don't work much here. We won't be able to give you a good pay. In fact, we were looking for someone to look after the shop but everyone refused because of the low pay. We are really sorry", the lady explained.

"Ok, done. Now I'm definitely coming after my classes tomorrow then you both can go take some rest at home and don't worry about the pay. I'll be doing fine Gwandpa....I can call you gwandpa right? So, I guess I'll see you both tomorrow. Bye gwandma.", I kissed her on the cheeks and left.

They both seemed astounded.
***************************************************
It was only when I saw that it was already dark that I looked at the time. It was already so late at night so I started to rush back to my dorm.

While walking, I could feel like someone was behind me but I didn't look back. Instead, I kept walking when I heard the person.

You are just overthinking Alyssa...I thought to myself and kept walking like nothing was happening. My heart in its own started to race like racing horses. I started to sweat really much despite the fact that it was a cold night but still I kept my cool and continued my way to the dorm without looking back. I started to thank God millions of times when the dorm was into view and it was only then that I realised that the footsteps also had stopped a while ago.

Without thinking twice, I started to run through the corridor and made my way in my dorm room.

"Where were you?"

I clutched my heart and leaned against the door trying to even my heartbeats.

"You scared the hell out of me", I told Michael who seemed to be very impatient.

"I asked you where you were"

"Does it matter?", I wasn't yet prepared to tell anyone here that I have to work for a living.

"Yes it does", he said through gritted teeth towering over me.

"I went to look for a job", I finally told him holding his left upper arm to move him from my way because I really needed a rest from all that happened today.

"You think that I'm going to buy this lie princess? You know where you are right now right? This is one of the best school and I'm pretty much sure that everyone belongs to the top of the social ladder but whatever the way you look right now with all the panting and all seems like you really went to work but I wonder where and with whom", He said with so much hate latched in his words.

"Then d-don'-t", my voice started to break so I rushed in the bathroom.

Once inside, I stripped myself off my clothes and stood under the hot running water. It felt so good. I felt like the water was washing away all the stress and the hurt that I felt. The only thought that kept running through my mind was how I wish my mom was there. I wanted someone to be here for me, hold me and to say that all this is here only for a while and one day everything will be okay.

I was cut off my thoughts when I heard the dorm room's door closed. Thank God Michael went out. I thought to myself because I wanted some time for myself.

I wore my towel and came out of the bathroom and just when I came out, I freezed in my way. Michael was still here and here I was, standing only in my towel. I felt the heat rushing to my cheeks and started to blush. I wasn't confident on showing my body. I don't even wear a freaking bikini when I go to the beach.

Michael stood still so I decided to talk because this was way too awkward and I couldn't even decide if I should go take my clothes or not.

"What are you doing here?", this is so dumb seeing that it's his room also but that's the only thing that came to my mind.

"If you don't realize where you are right now, le-"

"Oh save me the drama please, I know very well where I am right now but I heard you going out", I cut him off deciding to act bold.

"Oooh so you waited for me to go out so that you can come out only in your towel. Don't worry babe, I'm not going to get jealous of your abs", he said with a wink lifting his shirt to show me his abs.

OHH EMM GEE. THIS IS SO HOT AND AMAZINGLY PERFECT.

Focus Alyssa. I thought to myself and a creepy smile crept on my face but still I hoped that the asshole didn't notice it else he's going to disappear from the Earth.

I kept standing there awkwardly waiting for him to go but it felt like he wasn't getting the message. Idiot.

"Can I go wear my clothes now?", I asked so boldly that I am dead sure he'll not even get the hint that I am blushing.

"Okay as you wish", he said but didn't even move an inch.

This was so helpless. I don't think I'll ever win against that guy.

"Michael I am not comfortable with you seeing me in a towel"

"Then remove it", he proposed and I swear my eyes were the size of planet Earth.

Instead of going out, he started making his way towards me.

"The door is t-there", I stammered.

The next thing I know is that the towel was pooled at my feet and saw Michael finally making his way out after whispering in my ears.

"Be more confident sunshine. Just making me think that you are bold enough is not going to work with me and yeah...maybe you are pretty"

Michael just said that I am pretty. I couldn't believe this. I finally went to wear my clothes after blushing fifty shades of red.
