Song:

Outlaws by David Lambert

In case you guys didn't know, I got the idea for this story from the song In Case of Emergency, Dial 411 by Sleeping with Sirens. Check it out if you don't know it! Or don't... It's your life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was refreshing to finally be working again without having to be paranoid all day. Suddenly a little girl came up to the counter and I smiled at her. She couldn't be older than 4. Her mother was standing behind her smiling. I always thought it was cute when little kids wanted to pay for something themselves.

"Hi, what would you like today?" I asked her sweetly.

She smiled back bashfully. "A kid's cup of chocolate yogurt please!"

"Okay, that'll be $1.06 please," I replied sweetly.

"I only have a dollar," she said quietly.

I looked up at her mom and she started digging into her purse.

"Oh no, don't worry about it!" I exclaimed. "I have six cents to spare."

"Aww, you don't have to do that, sweetie," her mother said to me.

"I want to," I replied and placed six of my own cents in the register.

Her mom smiled at me. "Thank you! Say thank you, Tori."

"Thank you," she said with a big smile.

"No problem!" I replied as I gave Tori her cup of ice cream.

Tori happily skipped to a nearby table and dug right into her yogurt. I smiled. She didn't have a care in the world.

"Here," her mother said, handing me a ten dollar bill.

I slowly took it. "What's this for?"

"It's a tip," she replied.

"But this is a ten dollar tip!" I exclaimed.

"You deserve it."

"Thank you!"

"Mommy!" Tori shouted.

Her mom gave me one last smile before sitting with her daughter. I smiled to myself. That made my day.

I glanced over at the door to see Connor walking in. That instantly brought up my mood. He approached the counter and gave me a smirk.

"Hey love," he greeted.

I tried to hold back my smile. "Connor, what are you doing here?"

"What, a man isn't allowed to buy himself yogurt?"

"Well you are allowed to buy yogurt, but you usually don't."

"Okay, I lied. I don't actually want yogurt."

"I figured."

"I mainly came here to see you in action."

I fought the urge to roll my eyes. "Connor, you're so cute."

He merely winked at me. I glanced behind him and noticed that there were a few people forming a line behind him.

"Connor?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to have to ask you to move because there are people behind you."

He glanced behind himself. "Oops, sorry."

He ran out of the way and sat at the nearest table. I took everyone's order and gave them each their orders.

"Everything going alright?" asked Chris, the manager.

"Yes, sir. Everything is going great!" I replied.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Connor getting up. Then he interrupted the conversation between my boss and I.

"Excuse me, sir," Connor interjected.

"Yes?" Chris replied.

"Are you the manager?"

"Why, yes I am."

"Well I'd just like to say, that this cashier here, oh what's her name?" he asked, pretending he didn't know me and glanced at my name tag. "Amy," he said, raising his eyebrows. "Amy, has given me some of the best service that I have ever had."

Chris raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"Oh, yes! She was polite, patient and very kind. She makes me want to eat yogurt everyday!"

Chris glanced over at me and then back at Connor and then back at me again. "Boyfriend?"

"Yeah," I said quietly.

"I could tell," Chris said, laughing and walked away.

"Connor, what the hell?" I said, holding back laughs.

"I was just trying to help you get a raise," Connor replied.

"Connor, I just started work here again today. I doubt I'm getting a raise anytime soon."

Connor smirked at me. "You never know."

I smiled back. "You're a dork."

"I'm your dork."

"But Amyyy!" Connor whined.

"No Connor," I replied.

"Please?" he whined.

"No."

"But I love you," he replied, cuddling with me.

"I love you too, but no."

"Why not?"

I sighed. "Because I've been working all day, I'm tired, I don't look that pretty and I just don't want to."

He sighed. "Okay, if you don't want to, then I won't make you. I'll wait until you're ready."

I smiled at him and kissed his lips. "Good."

Connor and I were cuddling together in my bed. Connor, being the angel he is, put it together so it was no longer just a mattress on the floor.

I got home from work at around ten and Connor began putting the bed together right away. I tried to assist, but I wasn't much help. Connor and I have been cuddling ever since and it was now a bit past one in the morning.

Connor has been trying to take our relationship to the next level, if you know what I mean.

Connor has been trying to get me to agree to have sex with him for about a half hour now.

Connor sighed and wrapped his arms tighter around me. Then he kissed the top of my head.

"Amy, I'm sorry if you felt pressured. That was wrong of me."

I cuddled my face into his chest. "It's okay."

"I'm willing to wait as long as you want me to."

I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back at me and kissed my forehead. This caused me to blush, which made Connor smile even more. I hid my face in his chest.

"Amy, you're so cute."

"You're cuter," I replied, my face still in his chest.

"Look at me," he whispered.

I slowly moved my face away from his chest. He gently placed his fingers beneath my chin and gave me a quick peck. I smiled and got closer to him. Within minutes I was yawning.

"Go to sleep, love," he whispered as he reached over to turn off the lamp.

I closed my eyes and nodded. The last thing I heard before falling asleep was, "I love you, Amy."
