I traveled back to the shop, mentally preparing myself for the bothering I was gonna get from Dominique about this forced "date" I didn't want to go to. I would just skip the date, but I knew he would never leave me alone about it. Fucking creep.
I threw away my Starbucks drink that I only drank halfway, now that it was infested with HIS germs. I waltzed into the shop and Left and Hodgy were back, busy rolling blunts on the counter with Domo, too busy to notice I was back.
"Aye! Y'all ain't rolling up with me here" I hate the smell of weed. I don't understand how they can stand that smell, nor inhale it into their lungs.
"Aww, you always gotta ruin something good" Hodgy complained.
I flipped him the bird and hopped behind the counter. Today was a slow day, which is surprising to be honest. The shop is almost always packed. We only had about 5 people come into the shop today, that's the least amount of people we had in a long time. More time to myself I guess. I pulled out my trusty sketchbook and started designing a logo for Mac. I drew a small cartoon version of himself putting his thumb up. Underneath I drew the words "Most Dope" in cursive. I colored the sketch in and examined it. I smiled at the drawing. I hope he liked it, I thought it was pretty cool. My smile dropped quickly as I felt him breathing on my neck.
"So we gonna talk about this "date" or not?" I questioned him, using my hands to show the imaginary quotation marks.
"Tomorrow, at 8. Wear something nice"
"Don't tell me how to fucking dress" I said while playing Candy Crush on my phone.
"It's ok, you look good in anything you wear" He winked at me.
I fake gagged and continued playing. When I beat level 205, I got a text message from an unknown number. And before you ask, I play Candy Crush A LOT. It's just one of my favorite games, besides 'Dumb Ways to Die'. That game is too cute.
But anyway, I opened the text. And it was from Mac.
Unknown Number: Hey Orianna it's Mac. Call me when you get the chance.
Since I wasn't doing anything at the moment, I decided to call him. First I saved the unknown number as 'Mac ' in my contacts. The phone rang once before he answered.
"Hey Ori" he grunted then coughed. He was probably in the middle of smoking.
"Hey Mac, so what you needed me to call you for?"
"Can you come by the studio today so we can discuss the clothing line, if you're not busy"
"Sure, I'm not doing anything. And I made a sketch for the line, I think you'll like it"
"Already? That's awesome!" he exclaimed.
"Thanks" I chuckled.
"What time do you want me to stop by?"
"Since you're not busy, you can come now. I'm just recording songs for my new album"
Right at that moment Tyler finally came back. He looked really happy for some reason.
"Ok just text me the address"
"Aight, bye Ori"
And with that he hung up. I hopped over the counter to retrieve my black doughnut hoodie that I brought, the weather forecast called for rain today.
