I was humming quietly to myself along with the speaker system that was set up around the shop. I was stacking the shelves that should of been done a few days ago. The only reason I was even aware of that it needed to be was because the costumers who came in kept having to ask if we can that product they were looking for in the back. Of course though none of my co workers could of done it themselves. It always has to be me who does everything around here.

I was very disappointed that my manger wasn't in today. She was in all last week and a few days off and on recently. When she's around everyone tends to work harder then they usually would. Which says a lot  about my co worker because I'm positive that at least half of them are sleeping in the back room right now. I'm surprised that they can actually stand on their feet for that long. 

I'm waiting for the day when are manger comes in late and she catches them slacking off. The day they get fired is the day I can relax and smile. Of course though that hasn't happened yet and if it doesn't soon I just might commit mass murder on the shop. I'm a short temper person and I can only be pushed too far. 

I was surprised that Ricky wasn't as much of a pain when I had to go to work recently. He had said that a few things had come up at work recently and he had to go over them in a meeting. I haven't seen him for a few days actually. He lives closer to where he works so it does make more sense I guess just to stay out there. From what I know about where he lives it's out in the middle of no where.  

"Excuses me?" I heard someone say well taping my shoulder. Turing around I saw the short red head with blue eyes that was working the same shift as me today. I think her name was Sally. Then again I don't really pay attention to any of that stuff. 

"What do you need now?" I ask, crossing my arms and glaring at her. There is no way I'm letting any of them think they can tell me what to do. Especially when they do nothing at all.

"I was just going to tell you we were closing up a bit early today. We've already finished cleaning mostly everything up. If you want you can take off early." She said fearfully. 

All I did was nod at her letting her know I heard her and I made my way out without another word to anyone. Shockley they actually could do work but then again it meant they would get to go home early, and I think they're all too scared to ask me to do anything for them anymore. Which I am so happy for.

The walk home was quite. I usually work later on Tuesday, which today was, meaning that no one was really out right now. I was walking a bit faster then I normally would as well. At this point I really just want to get home and I can't lie I've been a bit paranoid with all the stuff that has gone on around here recently. Serial killers may interested me but I would rather not be ones victims if I get a say in it.

Walking into my apartment the first thing I saw was my cat contently sitting on the couch, just starring at me. Usually he will jump down to greet me because he misses me but also because he knows I'm going to feed him now that I'm home. This was strange behavior for him and it was worrying me. 

I walked over to him and crouched down and scratched behind his hand. "What's wrong baby?" I ask him in a soft voice and he lent into my hand and purred and I smiled at him. Maybe he was just tired.

Standing up I decide I might as well just bring his food to him but that though completely left my mind when someone wrap their arms around my waist and I let out a shriek. 

"Baby it's just me."  I heard Ricky voice say with a laugh and I was no longer scared anymore, I was now just pissed off knowing it was him. 

I turned around quickly and smacked his arm. "Why would you do that?" I ask him, almost yelling at him this point.  

"Because I thought it would be funny and you're cute when you're scared." He said sweetly. trying to hide his laugh. 

"How did you even get into my house?"  I ask him panicked. I was sure I locked up before I left the house this morning. 

"You left the door unlocked. So I decided to let myself in." He said with a laugh and turned to walk towards the kitchen like this was his house. Maybe I've let him get way to comfortable here. "Oh ya I also fed your cat for you." He yell back. Well that makes sense now. 

I followed him into the kitchen and crossed my arms over my chest, glaring him down. I was a small bit pissed at him for one basically breaking into my house and two for not coming around or really talking to me for the last few days. The second one may of not of been something I was upset with before but if he thinks he can just break in here he needs to explain where he has been. What can I say little things upset me and then my brain starts racing like crazy and the next thing you know I angry at you for something you did months ago that was a mistake. I don't think Ricky knew I was like this but he's going to learn right about now not to anger me.

He started to feel my harsh gaze on him and I could tell this from the uncomfortable body langue he start to display. He eventually turned around to look at me and I could tell he was confused. "What's wrong with you?" He ask lightly with a laugh probably trying to lighten the heavy feeling in the room.

"Well for one you can't just walk into my house when I'm not around even if the door is open you still have no right. I don't even know where you live and you've never even brought me back there but you have made yourself at home here. Also you haven't really spoke to me for the last few days with no explanation. You have no right to be doing any of this to me and I might just kick you out right now." I all but snarled at him and I could tell me going off at him upset him. 

He started to walk towards me and the look in his eyes was sending shivers down my spin and I decide to set him off a bit more by trying to walk away from him. I took slow steps backwards until me back hit the wall and I had no where to go. He stop once he was in front of me and starred me down. 

"I'm not getting why you think you can talk to me like that and you have never ask me to take you home with me so why would I. Also I've been working the last few days and I've told you that. I will do what I want, when I want. The door was open meaning I came in. Plus you can't get me to leave because since when do I do what you say?" He spat down at me and as much as him treating me like this shouldn't of turned me on it did.

He lent forward and brought his lips near my ear. "Now I think you should say something to me right now." He whisper to me which made it more threatening then it would of been if spoken at a normal volume.

I let out a loud laugh and I could tell he wasn't happy with that. "I'm not apologizing for anything." I snit at him.

He smirk and me and he came closer to me and wrap his arms around my waist, throwing me over his shoulder. I was a bit shocked from this because I didn't really think he was that strong.

"I think I can get you to say it one way or another." He said to me and I can hear the smile in his voice. If he really thought I was going to make anything easy for him he must not be paying the much attention to what I'm like. Tonight is going to be interesting I can already tell.
