Crestfallen

Chapter 5

March 13 

Crina looked at her watch as they approached the fancy restaurant. She and Lilium had been there for over thirty minutes waiting for Kevin. And if he didn't show up here in five minutes she and Lilium were going to eat at some cheap fast food chain. 

"Where the fuck is that man?" Crina hissed. 

"He is probably fucking some hooker right now," Lilium said to the shock of Crina. 

She couldn't help but smile at her friend for a moment. No matter what Lilium said it was either completely innocent or completely dirty. Crina put her face back to the serious tone, why is it that every time Kevin plans something he is always late! 

Kevin is a bastard that takes at least a week to get across the street. Why can't he just show up on time and not stop by the hooker area and get a girl to give him a job? Thats probably what is holding him up, that little whore of a man is an idiot. She'd kick him in the groin as soon as he got here. 

"He had better have a good excuse if he is," Crina said to Lilium. "I am sick of that man, why can't we fire him?" 

"Because he is both our owner and our manager," Lilium replied.  "We also have a contract with him for the next three years!" 

Crina sighed, "I know, still if he doesn't get here soon we are ditching." 

Crina saw Lilium nod her pretty little head, "Hope he doesn't show up then." 

Kevin is an idiot, he doesn't show up on time they'd leave. And when he finally does show up here they'd be long gone, probably sight seeing like tourist. He'd just have to sit alone and flirt with the waitresses as they walked by his table. It always happens, what changes that now? 

Crina sighed and leaned against the old red brick wall of the restaurant. She was tired from last night but wasn't going to admit it. She hated standing here while Kevin was out doing who knows what who knows where. 

"You know what?" Crina stated in a somewhat sarcastic tone. "It isn't fair that we are teenagers and he is an adult. We should be the ones out having fun, not him." 

"Yes," Lilium agreed. 

"One of these days we are going to flip Kevin off and do something both of us want to do," She said. "I mean really we should be able to go shopping without him around. He's stuck a pedophile when he stares at us after getting out of the dressing rooms."

Crina couldn't stand when Kevin went shopping with them. All he wanted was to see them both in their short mini skirts and low cut shirts. They both knew it because he always had this odd look on his face when they looked over at him. 

"I think..." Lilium suddenly stopped speaking. "There he is!"

Crina looked down the street, she saw Kevin, and oddly another man, walking up the street to where the girls stood in line. He must be the man from MTV. Crina thought as she remembered the purpose of having lunch with Kevin in the first place. 

"Who's the man?" Lilium asked Crina as if she'd know. 

"Probably the guy from MTV." Crina said in a tone that should have told Lilium that she was rather annoyed. "I hope he doesn't just want a show about us making out, otherwise we are only speaking in our native languages." 

"They'll subtitle us," Lilium reminded her of the American's overuse of subtitles. 

Crina huffed as the two men approached the girls. The man from MTV looked about the same age as Kevin, though a bit thinner, actually a lot thinner than Kevin. He seemed to have brown hair though you could see it was graying. His face was probably no more than thirty, however, with all the stress of working he aged terribly.
