Chapter 3 -Moving Forward
I walked into Starbucks with a smile on my face seeing the help wanted sign. I approached the cash trying to look as friendly as possible.
"Hi what can I get you?" the girl asked me.
"Actually, I saw the help wanted sign and was wondering if I could apply?" I asked hopefully.
"It's your lucky day, I'm the manager. Are you available to work nights? Say from 6 until 11?" she looked as if this would be the best thing in the world.
"Yeah sure no problem. When do I start?"
"Yes, alright can you start tomorrow? I would ask you to do it for tonight but I assume that's a little short notice."
"Yeah I have a date tonight anyway."
"Okay, and you will be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, is that alright?"
"Perfect, may I ask what the pay is?"
"Yes, you'll get 5£ an hour which equals out to 90£ a week plus tips is that okay?"
"That is quite alright thank you so much for this. I just got a flat about two blocks from here and I was afraid I wasn't going to find a job near it."
"Okay, well I must get back to work, I'll see you here tomorrow, bye Elena." I glanced at her name tag.
"See you Freya."
I exited the shop and hopped back into my dad's truck going back to the house to get my things.
I pulled into the driveway and parked the car back in its spot in the garage. I walked back in the house to discover the boys and Eleanor watching a movie. Not to disturb them I quietly crept upstairs.
I opened my bedroom door and found everything as I left it. I took one suitcase at a time out to the truck and loaded it in the back. When I looked at the flat the previous owner had left all their furniture except the bed. So I needed one.
I sauntered back into the house and made my way up to my parent's bedroom knocking on the door. My dad opened it and beckoned me inside.
"Hey Elena did you like your new flat?" I nodded and popped the question.
"Yeah I do, but I was wondering if you could help me load my bed onto the back of the truck, all the other furniture was left from the previous owners but the bed."
"Honey I would but I threw my back out while you were gone and can't really lift anything heavy, why don't you ask one of the boys to help you?" I nodded and went downstairs.
I saw that Harry was sitting the closest to me so I went up and tapped his shoulder. He turned to me and smiled.
"Hey Elena, what's up." He whispered to me.
"I was wondering if you and your huge muscles could do me a favour." He smirked and asked what it was. "Can you help me move my bed into the back of the truck so I can take it to my new flat?"
"Yeah no problem, but I'm going to get Liam to help me, is that alright?" I nodded and the two boys got up to help.
We successfully moved my bed onto truck and tied it down in about 15 minutes. Let me tell you, those boys are strong. I asked them to come with me so they could unload it and they gladly obliged.
When we reached the destination the two boys grabbed both of the mattresses in two different trips and drug them up to my flat, placing it in the room. I thanked them graciously and we sat on the couch in a huff.
"That, was a lot of work." Liam said out of breath.
"I would offer you a glass of water but," I got up and opened the fridge, "I currently have no food, drinks, utensils, plates, bowls, or cups of any kind." They both laughed.
"How about we take you shopping." Harry purposed.
"I would but I only have about 20£ to my name at the moment."
"Are you forgetting you're rich and we are both in a world famous boy band who make millions?" Harry asked me.
"Well, I guess I am." We all laughed and headed out to buy me some stuff.
We picked up loads of food at Tesco then we headed to Asda to pick up some utensils and such. After that, luckily not getting recognized too much, I drove the two boys home and I went back to my flat to put things away.
When I finally finished putting all the groceries away it was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I placed all my plates and bowls and cups into their rightful places along with the utensils. I also, well Liam also, bought a bunch of hot pink things to spruce up the place.
The furniture and the whole flat has a black and white theme to it. The couch is black leather, the coffee table is stained black. The kitchen has black counter tops with white cupboards and all the appliances are stainless steel.
My decorating consisted of at least one thing that was pink in every single room. Not counting the hot pink curtains on every window.
Can you tell I like pink yet, because I do, quite a lot actually. When I finished decorating it was 2:30 and my date is at 6. That leaves me 3 and a half hours to do my hair and makeup, pick out an outfit and get a shower. Okay, break!
By the time I was swiping the last wave of mascara on to my eyes it was 5:42. Oh yeah, 18 minutes to kill.
Harry told me to dress nice so I wore a dress. It was hot pink, tight and strapless that had the little piece of flare out fabric at the waist. With it I wore a sleeveless jean jacket with lace on the shoulders and a pair of brown strappy heels. Finally for accessories I have a copper key necklace and a light pink lace clutch.
Soon enough six came round and I heard a knock at the door. I went over and opened it to see Harry dressed nicely as well.
"You look absolutely beautiful love." I blushed and said.
"Eh, you could be better." He looked worried and shocked at the same time. I laughed at him. "I'm just joking hun, you look great too." He visibly relaxed and cracked a smirk.
"I'm going to get you back for that one." He winked and I came out locking the door behind me. He led me to his black Range Rover and opened the door for me like a gentleman. See, chivalry does still exist.
