Roommates

#19

"Bye Lizz!" I wave towards the friendly bartender,after working for a few shifts here I found out that her name was Elizabeth. Tho she preferred to be called Liz. She was actually really funny ,always cracking jokes ,at the age of 57 she had 2 daughters who sometimes came in for when extra staff was needed. "Wait Naomi!" Lizz shouts me back and I make my way toward the bar. "What's up?" I ask her curiously. I'd finished all my shifts so she couldn't ask me to go wait on another table? "Mr Casting wanted me to tell you to go to his office after you'd finished all your shifts" I smile weakly ,remembering the way he looked at me earlier. Making my way toward his office I knocked "Mr Casting?" When there is no response after 2 minuets I am about to knock again. "Come in" the stern voice says from inside. I open the door to see the manager sat at his desk ,as always. He looks beyond angry. "Sit!" He spits out as if it's a disgusting swear word. Oh shit Naomi what have you done? My thoughts are suddenly stopped when he begins to speak again. "Miss Rosewood ,you are a waiter at this restaurant not a customer having a date with her boyfriend" "um sorry sir ,but I don't understand I don't have a boyfriend" he must have me mistaken for someone else? "Don't lie to me Miss Rosewood I saw him walk you to the door ,he's obviously your boyfriend the way you was hugging him!" My eyes widen is realisation. "Sir I promise you we are not together ,he's my roommate at college" I wanted to ask why he would care if I even had a boyfriend ,but obviously I couldn't ask that if I wanted to actually keep my job. "I know he s your roommate ,I did a background check remember? So you don't have any relationship with that man?" What the hell? Why can't he just fuck off he shouldn't even care about my private life. A background check is making sure I haven't been in jail or what other jobs I have worked at before this one ,not who I live with? His eyes travel downwards towards my chest. "I uh yes I remember sir ,me and my roommate have a friendship ,we are friends ,that is all no relationship included" I felt scared with him looking at me in such a intimidate way. I don't know what it was but he wasn't even acting like my manager in the past 5 minuets ,he was acting like a friend...a VERY close friend ,and that made me nervous. Why was he being like this? "Go! Now!" He shouted at me standing up from his desk. I scurried towards the door and ran out of the building as fast as I could ignoring the stares ,including a concerned one from Autumn and Liz...

Her manager seems to be getting super personal lately ,what's he up to? <3
