Liam Jennings
It's been days since they formulated that plan. I wonder when they're planning to do it.

Here I was, at work, worrying for the safety of my girl.

I sighed.

I understand Rita's her bestfriend's sister, but that ex of hers nearly ruined her life.

"Hey Liam." Dale called.

He was the cashier in charge next to my station. So pretty much we were both just sitting there when no one is around.

"Yeah?"

"You know Aiden Williams??"

My mouth opened remembering what happened the other day. Did he notice it was Aiden Williams in the coat and hat?

"Yeah, he's an action star."

"No, I mean you knew him?"

"Well.." Avoiding his gaze, I rubbed my neck and answered.

"Sorta."

"That's sick! How long have you known him?" He asked, keeping his voice down, but looking at him, I can see the excitement.

"A while." I nodded then I faced forward the front door.

"Wait, you're a fan too?" I asked turning to face him again.

"Hells yeah! His partner, Amanda Wells is hot."

"You said it!" I turned to face forward again.

We went on and on for hours.

**********

A customer would come here and there, then finally our lunch break arrived.

"Finally. I'm starving." I said, going to the back, taking off my apron then grabbing my jacket.

"Where are you grabbing lunch?" Dale asked, as he took off his apron then hanged it.

"At McDonald's. You coming?"

"Yeah."

We got out the store, waving to the other employees as we stepped out.

We walked to McDonald's, talking about his brother Dane.

"Heck I thought you were Dane when I saw you on your first day."

"Haha! Everyone he knows thinks I'm Dane. Not exaggerating."

"EVERYONE?"
I said, laughing.

"Yup. EVERYONE. If I hadn't told you I was Dale, you wouldn't know. Right?"

I laughed.

We arrived at McDonald's.

**********

We had lunch, and talked about a lotta stuff. Great! I found my work buddy.

"My sister's planning to work at the bookstore too."

Did he say "sister"?

"Wait, 'sister'?" I voiced my thought out.

"Yeah." He said with a nod.

"Oh. You're triplets right?"

"Yeah?"

"I thought-"

"You thought the 3rd twin was a boy too?" Dale cut me off, chuckling.

I nodded.

"Haha. Yeah. Common mistake too." He said as he ate his last fry.
