We Only Come Out At Night

Chapter 9 (filler)

*The next day*

Vinny's POV

I arrived at Target with two blue tulips and a plan. Gisella was getting off work in about half an hour and I was due at band rehearsal in a few hours. With Motionless In White. I made the band. I have not even told Gisella because I was waiting for the right time. Even Ghost, I think that was his name, did not like me, but thought I was a good drummer.
I walked into Target with my flowers and looked around the store. I went to the CD section and found the new Drake album I was looking for.
I had my back turned when I heard her voice.
"Are you finding everything you're looking for, Sir?"
I smiled and turned around, "Whoa, Baby Girl. We should get more into this relationship before we get pet names."
Her eyes widened in surprise, "Vinny! I didn't realize it was you," she hugged me and the tulips crinkled in their wrapper. "Vinny, what are those?"
"Two blue tulips for the girl who has the prettiest red two lips I've seen in a while."
She laughed at my pun and kissed my cheek. Gisella held the tulips and smelled them. Okay, so I might have sprayed them with my cologne but that was only so she would remember my smell when I go on tour. Shit. I need to tell her about tour.
"Hey, Gi, why don't you finish up your shift and we can go out for dinner after you put up the tulips at your place. Does that sound good to you?"
She nodded her head yes and took the flowers to the back of the store where I assumed the employees put their stuff.
I did not see her until almost an hour later. She had an unruly customer to take care of at the register and they were pretty rude.
"Why can't you just give me my money back?" The person shouted at Gisella.
"Please, I'm trying to get the computer working correctly. If you could wait patiently, that would help tremendously." Gisella replied with a calm voice.
Anger was building inside me. No one should yell at employees. She's trying to help.
"Well, I wouldn't have to yell if you did your goddamn job. Now give me back my money."
I caught Gisella's eye and fear and irritation were filling her brown eyes.
"Ma'am, please calm down or I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Gisella said, cautious of what was going to happen.
The lady stopped and stared at her. She hugged and took her items and left. Gisella's eyes filled with tears as I approached her lane she looked up at me and smiled.
"Did you find everything alright?" She sniffed.
"I did. And I would love to talk to your manager. I have something to say to him." I said nonchalantly as I put my stuff on the counter.
"Vinny, you can't be serious. I can't lose my job."
I looked Gisella directly in the eyes and said, "Let me talk to your manager."
