This I Love

Chapter Nineteen; Found Out

*And here we all were thinking I had died. And by the way, my most recent notification was from SmuttyPariah recommending this in a Gn'R based thread. She's had my back for some unknown reason for a while now (it's so one sided, I feel like a dick) and she's a fabulous author but SO SO SO under-fucking-rated. If you want to read a story that's ACTUALLY good, then go to her profile and hit up one of hers :D*

**Plus, she's just a super cool person so you should just go to her profile now. Right now. If you're still reading this it means you're not there. Why aren't you over there?! Go! Shoo! Be gone!**

The interview was pretty boring and instead of Paul who had to keep reminding me that there was nothing wrong with showing a little skin, I was introduced to a girl named Mindy that Slash proclaimed was easily the coolest manager in the world. She couldn't have been much older than me and she didn't really put me on trial during the questioning like a lot of employers do. Hell, she didn't even have a sheet of questions or anything to reference, didn't ask for a resume, and spent most of her time just kind of looking around the store's back room.

Eventually, she pushed her chair back and started playing with her teased blonde curls. She reminded me a little of Steven in the face with her sky blue eyes and wide grin but she was more relaxed, more like Izzy. "Saul's a pretty good employee so I guess if he's willing to recommend you then you must be good," she reasoned. "You start tomorrow. Come in with Saul and he'll show you what you need to do", Mindy informed.

I sat back and tilted my head. "That's it?" I wondered.

Mindy nodded. "Yup, that's it. Saul's been talking about you for a while," she stated. "And he doesn't tend to be much of a talker so you have to be worth his time for him to suggest you."

"Thanks," I murmured, standing up. I shook her hand before we started for the door leading to the main part of the store.

"It'd just be nice having another girl around," she giggled. "Tomorrow at noon, alright?"

"Yes ma'am!"

Mindy smiled. "Good. We look forward to working with you," she said warmly. She let me go to help out some customers Slash was ignoring as he sat on the register counter to talk to Axl.

"Ugh, that bitch is still here?" Axl groaned. "Mindy? That's the chick who fired me awhile back. Apparently I was too much of a 'problem child' to stick around."

"You took the fall for the rest of us," Slash pointed out, letting his swinging feet kick the counter underneath him. "Anyway, Scar, you're gonna love it here! As soon as the managers leave the shift, everyone breaks out the beer! You'll become an alcoholic before you leave this place!"

"Just what I always wanted," I laughed.

"What do you mean as soon as they leave?" Axl snorted. "We used to get fucked up when they were here WITH us!"
