Crying My Eyes Out

Crying My Eyes Out

Chapter 68 

Moana's POV

Time Skip... A week later...

  I'm only halfway through my shift at work and I feel like I'm going to die. Not only have we been swamped with customers today, but my co workers and boss have been giving me a hard time about every little thing I do. This ranges from how I wipe the tables to them trying to make me mess up on giving back change to customers. God they're jerks. I'm amazed at how I've survived nearly half of the summer working here already. I'll be glad not to have to work here all the time when college starts up again at the end of August. This job sucks for the most part but it's giving me the money I need to get through the summer as well as covering my textbooks and college supplies that I'll be shopping for before I know it. 

  I feel like bursting into tears but I refuse to do so in front of these jerks. Thankfully I'm going on break in an hour for thirty minutes so I can grab a bite to eat and let my feelings out in peace. I'm going to grab lunch at McDonalds down the street. 

An hour later...

 I run out of Dairy Queen like there's a firecracker about to go off in my butt, get in my car, and drive down the road to McDonalds. There I have a good cry for five minutes before going through the drive thru to get my food. I have twenty minutes to spare to eat my food, which consists of a small fry, a chicken wrap, and a large iced tea. 

Twenty minutes later...

  I clock back in and suffer through the last four hours of my shift, that drag on like you wouldn't believe. By the time my shift finally comes to an end, I once again feel like breaking down in tears, though I'm relieved to clock out officially for the night. I'm even more relieved to have a day off tomorrow, which I desperately need given how my day was today. I hope Maui had a nice day off today. I'm jealous that he today off. I doubt he's home yet. He went into worker later than me today. I think he'll be home though within the next couple of hours. Almost as if my thoughts are being read, my phone vibrates with a text from Maui. I open it and read it, it says the following: "Hey princess, I hope you had a good day at work. I don't know if you're out yet or not, but I just wanted to let you know that I get off in two hours. I made sure that my boss ins't going to screw me over with extra deliveries and he isn't thankfully. See you soon. I love you."  <3 -Maui

  I text him back the following: "My day at work kind of sucked but I'll tell you more about it when you get home. I'll be home soon. I'm going to cook us dinner. I hope pasta's okay. I love you too. <3 -Moana

 Maui texts me back with a frowny face and a smiley face.  I don't respond back because I know he's still working and I don't want to distract him during the remainder of his shift. I get home within twenty minutes and begin making us pasta for supper so I can distract myself from thinking about my day for a little while. I make it with meat sauce because I know it's Maui's favorite and I want to make him happy. He works so hard and makes me so happy, he deserves for me to do the same for him once in awhile. 

An hour and a half later...

  Maui comes through the door and I've never been more than I am right now to see him. I throw myself into his arms and let out all of my emotions that have built up during the rest of my shift at work these past few hours. I look up at Maui with tears in my eyes and see that he's looking down at me with pure sadness, causing me to feel even sadder. I hate ruining people's days because mine didn't go well. "Princess, what's wrong? Why was your day so bad?" I sigh and look down at the floor. I want to tell Maui but he's going to flip out. "Maui, if I tell you, can you promise me you won't flip out?" Maui cups my face gently, pressing a gentle kiss on my lips. "I will promise that I will try my best not to freak out. Now tell me what happened please." "We were swamped with customers today but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part is that my coworkers and boss decided to make me screw up as much as possible. I caught myself most of the time but there were a few moments that really made me feel like an idiot." 

  I notice Maui tense up and ball his fists. Oh no... this isn't good. Maui looks at me with a pissed expression. "Are you working tomorrow?" I shake my head no. "I have the day off tomorrow thankfully. Why?" "No reason." "Maui..." He raises an eyebrow at me. "Yes?" "You're going to go into my work tomorrow before your shift starts and yell at my boss aren't you?" He smirks. "How'd you know?" I sigh in defeat because I know that there's no way I'm going to be able to change Maui's mind about this. "Because I know you better than you know yourself Maui. I also know that I'm not going to be able to stop you from doing what you plan on doing tomorrow. All that I ask is that you don't get me fired. Even though my job sucks, I really need it, at least for the rest of the summer."  

   Maui's facial expression softens and he opens his arms out wide. I gladly step into them and he hugs me lovingly. "I promise I'm not going to get too hostile. I know you need your job and I wouldn't ever get you fired. I just want them to stop treating you so badly. You don't deserve to be treated badly by anyone. You go to work to work, not to impress everyone. Hopefully my choice words will put them all in their place. Now can you promise me something?" I stroke his cheek gently. "Anything Maui." "Promise me that you'll relax tomorrow. I know how hard you've been working. You haven't had a lazy day in weeks. I know you're worn out princess. When I come home tomorrow evening, you're going to let me cook you dinner and give you a nice massage. Okay?" 

  A small giggle slips out of my mouth. "Well how could I object to such an enticing offer?" Maui's frown shifts into a small smile. "That's the sound I love to hear. Your laugh and giggles are adorable." I hug him once more. "I love you Maui." He kisses the top of my forehead. "I love you too Mo. Now say, did you happen to make that pasta?" I shake my head in amusement. Classic Maui, always thinking about food. "I did indeed." I motion for him to follow me into the kitchen. I grab two plates and give us both a big helping of pasta. We eat in a peaceful silence, brush our teeth, watch TV for a bit, and then call it a night.
