Tied To Me

4 - Not wanted

Sunday, 15th January 2017

This may be the first time I am not dreading going to work. Not only will I get paid more, but the boss won't constantly be on my back. I feel good.

Maybe meeting Sid wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Ezra and I put on our coat and jacket by the door before locking it behind ourselves. Just like every day, we take the usual streets to get to the club.

"So, you're really going out with this guy?" I just finished telling Ezra everything that went down yesterday with me and Sid and how he was the one, who got me my job back. "I think you should get to know him better first."

"That's what dates are for, Ezra." I chuckle at my paranoid friend.

"I just hope you know what you're doing." He breathes out.

"He's nice to me." I say, smiling when thinking about Sid.

"Nice isn't everything, you know?"

"Why are you being so pessimistic about this?"

"I'm not, Aurora," He sighs. "I am just looking out for you."

I coo at him and wrap my hands around his upper arm, leaning a bit against my best friend's shoulders. "Give me a kiss now." I pucker my lips and without hesitation, Ezra kisses my lips lightly. Yes, we do peck our lips sometimes. We wouldn't do that if he weren't 150% gay.

We arrive at work and before I am able to pick up one of the round platters from behind a bar, Keith, Ezra's love interest, comes to me.

"Some guy named Sid left this message for you." I thank Keith and take a piece of paper from his hand, reading it over.

Be ready on Friday at 7 p.m. Wear something casual.

S. A.

I crumble the piece of paper and throw it away. I am sure to remember the short message and won't forget about the date. I am quite excited now. But first, I'll have to get my boss to give me time off for the day. I go to his office immediately.

I knock and hear to come in. "Hello, I have a favor to ask you, sir."

"Ah, yes." He gestures for me to go on.

"Can I have the Friday off?" I ask. He will probably say no, anyway.

"Of course you can!" The boss smiles at me and my eyes almost fall out of their sockets from shock.

"Thank you, sir."

"No problem, dear," He chuckles at me. "Now get to work." He says with a grin still on his face.

I nod and get out of his stuffy office. That was easier than I thought. But who cares? I have the day off and a date with a good guy.

Friday, 20th January 2017

It's the date today and I am getting excited by the minute. I am currently getting ready in the bathroom.

The week went by in a blur, with having to go to classes during the week and having to clean the apartment after Ezra the whole time. It's not like he helped to do it. He didn't lift a finger the whole time.

I apply some light pink lipstick, which makes me done with the entire outfit. I've put on a black lace up body with long sleeves, light jeans and the ankle boots. I put on my coat on at the door and take my bag after.
