Mixing Business with pleasure

Well just another week of the same routine go to school from 8 to 1 then got to work from 4 to 8. I have no social life that i have become a total stranger to my two closest friends. sadly my life has gone from mall and movie night every Friday to, school and work every night.
After my last emotionally abusive relationship i am soooo over them. My goal is to get out of this small town and the only way I can be successful is by graduating high school and getting a high ACT or SAT score. I'm majoring in business because that's the only major my job pays for and I'm willing to make a career off of.
So it 3:32 I gotta head out to work just another day another dollar closer to my leaving this town. As I walk in the doors and i immediately change up my attitude and sweeten up my voice from down south country girl to up north valley girl.
Customers love me and most just come to carry on a conversation. I guess its because you down see many preppy black girl around here but where I'm from it's normal.
Here I'm called an oreo... Where does it say that every black girl has to be ghetto and act hood? Well not in my book.
As I reach my department I see my favorite co-worker who I'm mid shifting for, in the back with my manager and some light skin guy who looks to be the age of around 21 or 22.I am so focused on checking him out that I don't realize a customer who needs balloons filled up.
"Oh hi, I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you there. Do you need help with some balloons?"
"Oh your fine, I remember those days, and yes I do."
"haha what do you mean " you remember those days...?"
"well I saw you staring mighty hard at that guy back there. I remember when I had a crush on one of my co-workers and lets just say mixing business with pleasure is a recipe for disaster."
"well I not mixing anything with anybody, I was just trying to figure out who he was. Iv never seen him before, I believe he's new."
"well if he is be careful because I had that same sparkle also and it left me at the end with a boy who hasn't seen his father since at age 5."
"I'm am so sorry to here that but like I said I'm not starting anything with this guy."
after I finished with her balloons I walked to the back to fine something to do. I tried my hardest to not get them to notice me, until my manager stopped me.
"Hey Victoria this is Rome and he will be working with us here in produce."
before I could look at him good he held out his hand to introduced himself to me. I played it off by shaking his hand hard and walked off to find something to keep me busy. 45 minutes later I walked to the back and my manager starts teasing me.
"So you like the new guy, huh? I seen that sparkle in your eye."
"You think he's hot don't you, just drooling all over him."
"Eww NO and NO, he is cute and all but he is no Chris Brown!" I lied straight through my teeth. That nigga is something new I cant get over his sexy accent and his perfect smile. As I was driving home from work all I could think about was when he starts working with me. Something broke my train of thought which was red and blue flashing lights in my rear view mirror. Oh shoot I must have been so far deep in thought that I didn't realize I was go 20 miles over the speed limits. When I pull over a thousand things are running through my mind and the speeding ticket is one off them. The cop get out his 2012 charger all dramatic like a seen out a movie. I roll down my window and he flashes his flash light at my face and starts to ask for my license and registration and I hand it to him.
" Ms. Victoria you work at Publix?"
" yes sir, actually thats where I was coming from." "my son is just got hired there to produce, what department do you work in?" I couldn't believe it he is the father of the new guy Rome who's working with us. the same guy that got me in this situation from the beginning.
" yes sir i believe i met him today, work in produce, I believe his name is Rome."
"yes that's him well I was going to write you a citation from speeding but I will let you off with a warning this time, you just have to do something for me?"
"omg thing you sooo much I promise I won't speed again!"
" You have to give my son a hard time when he starts working." I laugh and tell him I will try my best and continue to drive on home.
*3 weeks later*
it takes ever part of me to get the energy to get out of my bed to get ready for work this Saturday morning. I hope in my car and drink a sip of my 5 hour energy to help me going. When I arrive indy department I am surprised to him... Rome. Dressed in him uniform ready to work HAHA yea he better be ready because I'm training him and I promised to make his first day a hard one.
"Good morning there she is!" my manager says
"Here I am, Good morning everyone."
"Alexis you are going to train Rome today."
"ok cool come on Rome lets go start on stocking up some produce."
*5 hour later*
"so how long have you been living here?"
" well I just moved up here to stay with my step brother after my mom past last summer he's been getting into so trouble."
" I met your dad he pulled me over for speeding on night."
"he's not my dad..."
"oh ok I'm sorry your step dad?"
"yea whatever, so do you have a boyfriend?" I am kinda hesitate by the way he change the subject but I figure it's something he's keep from me.
