Just Another Boy

Part 8

*2 weeks later*

I was caught up with work, and school and didn't have much time to hangout with friends anymore. I've lost about 5 pounds, from being so busy, I don't really eat all to much. Me and Kyle are still together, and me and Gage don't really talk anymore. I ruined it but so did he. I confessed to him one night in the rain that I loved him and he was speechless, he just told me he didn't feel the same. So I ran all the way home that night and cried myself to sleep.

Tomorrow I worked an 8 hour shift and I wasn't really ready, I never am though.

The next day

"Olie, its break time for you." Yelled one of the mangers from the back office.

I looked up at the clock, it read, 3:30. I took my gloves off and clocked out, I put my jacket on and slipped out the back door for a smoke. When I came back in I ordered a sundae and it sure was good. Then I went to the break room and sat there. 

"Hey Olie come here."

"Chris I'm on break, I'm not doing anything related to work." I responded as getting up and walking toward the freezers where Chris was standing.

"I just thought you'd like someone to talk to on break, silly."

"True, but I'll just stand here." I took a sip of my root beer then hurdled it into the trash can.

"What was that for?" He looked at me with confusion, but then slowly gave off a smile.

"Nothing really, I finished it and didn't want to hold onto it."

He came up by me and whispered, "You're so goddamn pretty."

I blushed and then said thanks. Then I felt his hand hit my ass and he just laughed at me, cause I jumped.

"Seriously Chris, I'm at work."

"And so am I." He looked at me and smiled, "let's hang sometime."

"I'm not sure."

"Come on Olie, give me a chance. I know I'm older,but let's hang." He looked At me and smiled,"plus I like you."

I just looked at him and laughed. "Me?" I questioned, while still laughing. "You like me?"

"Keep it down Olie." He looked at me and his smile was gone. It made me feel horrible, just to know I probably hurt him. "Here's my number, hit me up after work."

I grabbed the piece of paper and smirked, "I'll think 'bout it." Then I looked at my phone and it was 3:59. "Time for me to go back to work, aren't  you off at 4 any way?"

"Yep, sure am."

We both walked up to the front counter and I could feel his eyes on me. I clocked back in and finished my shift. When I got home I took a shower, then finished my geometry homework. I looked at my phone and took out the piece of paper. I though about not texting Chris, but instead I punched in his number and said,

~Hey~

I couldn't believe I actually texted him though. He is 10 years older than me and, it was wrong.
