CHAPTER ONE - BLAZED EYES [ALASKA]

I was walking to work around the same time I always do. everything about this day felt the same as all the other days. the sun came up, the dogs barked as I walked passed them, I smiled and waved at the mailman, I got the same frappé from Starbucks. but something was just... different.

I arrived shortly at Edwards cinema, which was where I worked. I put my hair up into a tight pony tail and walked into the ticket booth. I yawned as the first costumer walked in. I squinted my eyes, this boy is real nice to look at, I thought. 

"can I have two tickets for zootopia." he said, his voice raspy. I found myself studying his facial features and tattoos.

he handed me the money. I began thinking of who the second movie ticket belonged to. I looked down at the 10 dollar bill. with blue pen, he wrote down 'since ya like lookin at me so much, here's my address: 721 country wood drive. come over once your shifts up.' my heart crawled up my throat.

* * *

it's been three hours since first shift starting. my manager Rommie called me into his office. "a-am I being fired?" I asked. he nodded then added "but you could keep your job if you do me a favor." he clasped his hands together.

"and what's that?" I asked, leaning into the desk.

"have sex with me."

"n-no!" I said, stomping out of the office, I ripped off my name tag and stomped out of the building.

I then called for an uber driver.

* * *

my ride arrived about ten minutes after. I gave her the address. I couldn't help but be nervous. I don't even know the guy's name yet I'm going to his house.

I knocked three times. the door swung open, he greeted me with a warm hug and a smile, as if he had known me all his life. "come in, come in." he said happily.

as he shut the door, I noticed all the weed on a table across the couch. "so..what are we gonna do?" I asked. he chuckled. "you're adorable!" he said and poked my right dimple. the area he touched made my face heat up, that heat then spread to my entire body.

"since you asked, I was thinking of getting to know you. I know this is a lil 'middle schooly.'" he laughed.

I shrugged, trying not to smile. we made eye contact for what seemed like an hour before I looked down at my feet.

he leaned over, I thought he was about to kiss me. normally, people look kinda gross up close, but he looked even better. I can see his dimple and his lovely eyes. he looked at me before looking away, that's when he grabbed the pipe from the table. "do you smoke?" he asked, I shook my head, earning a chuckle.

he grabbed my wrist and walked me to the restroom, my face heated up with anxiety. "would you want to?" he asked and lock the door behind us. "w-want to what?" I asked. my knees shook, I felt my feet turn to jelly.

"smoke, silly." he laughed. "I love how you get so damn nervous around me." he added, making me blush.

he walked over to the bathtub, stepping in. he wiggled his pointer finger, signaling for me to walk over to him. "get in." he said calmly, I did as he said. he sat down, I did too. that's when he turned on the water.
