Playin' Hard

❤️Chapter 38 ❤️

Destiny Taylor

Today was my last day at work before my mini vacation. I was on cloud nine Christmas is two days away and I get to see my baby tomorrow.

I was to busy singing along to the Christmas playlist. March Carey All I want for Christmas is you was playing while I was stocking shelves.

"This your song, huh?" Dimitri came out of no where.

"I wouldn't be singing it if I didn't like it."

"Dang ya lil slick mouth." Dimitri busted out laughing. "It's some more carts in the back. If you have enough time can you put them away for me?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I see you ain't on the schedule for a couple of days. Going somewhere special?"

"Yeah my boyfriend is coming in town, we're going to celebrate Christmas in Pennsylvania at the poconos." I put emphasis on boyfriend.

I told my manager I was going out of town so I could get Christmas Eve and Christmas off. I needed those days off to spend time with my love. Unfortunately in retail holidays are required for you to work.

"Damn, that's gon' be lit." I could see the disappointment on Dimitri's face.

"Yeah, I know. I can't wait." A huge smile spread across my face as I seen Jude snapping her fingers to the music.

"I can always tell when you're coming." I shook my head as I slid the dove soap on the shelf in front of me.

"Forreal, how?" Jude chuckled.

"Your snapping. I'm going to start calling you ginger snaps." I tucked my hair behind my ear laughing.

I just so happened to look at the clock and when I read 3:30 my insides was filled with excitement.

"Welp' gotta blast.." I slid the cart in the back and headed to the break room to clock out and grab my belongings out my locker.

"I am so sad, I'm going to miss you." Jude popped out of no where.

"I'm only going to be gone for a week girl you have my number." I gave Jude a hug.

"I know, I know. You're leaving me with these crazy ass people. Get some dick for me too."

I playfully pushed Jude.

"I can't with you." I shook my head laughing.

"IC3." One of my co-workers George yelled over the intercom.

"You ain't gon' go back your co-worker up?" I asked Jude as we walked out of the break room.

"How much you want a bet it's one person standing in line." Jude rolled her eyes. "That nigga IC3 means I see 3 people walking by."

I threw my head back dying of laughter when I seen only one person standing in line. IC3 means back up but only when 3 or more people are standing in line.

Jude rolled her eyes as she mouthed to me "I can't stand his ass."

I waved goodbye laughing my ass off out the door.

I checked my phone and my smile quickly turned into a frown when Rico didn't reply to my text.

I sat my phone in the cup holder and drove off.

I rolled my eyes as I seen I had an incoming call from my mom, she knows the perfect times to call me.

"Yeah mom, what's up? I'm driving." I put the phone on speaker.
