I'm not human? Why would someone write this? More importantly, who would write this? I try to rub it off with my fingers but only a little of it comes off. I don't have time to wipe it off, seeing that I only have 30 minutes to get ready and be at work. I work at Hooters, and despite being kind of sloppy, my manger is pretty punctual. I rub my face in frustration, and grab my uniform. I put on underwear first, and put my shirt and shorts on.  I grab a pair of white converse, and put them on. I do my makeup, and put my hair into a  high ponytail. I grab my car keys, and walk back down stairs.

I make it to the last step, and see Alicia still standing in the same spot. She has dealt with these types of thing before, so I couldn't blame her for being scared. I just hated seeing her like this. This is the fifth time in past two weeks I've had to help her.

"You okay?" I ask her.

She looks up to me and wipes her face. She nods, walking past me to go upstairs. I hear her beadroom door close, as I walk out of the front door. I walk towards my car and my boyfriend, Grayson, is leaning on it. He smiles once he sees me, and I do the same. I rush to him, and he holds me in his arms.

"What are you doing here? I have to be at work in like 25 minutes." I say looking down at my watch.

"I know, but I really wanted to see you." He says, kissing my neck.

"Did you want to see me, or did you wanna see me in my uniform?" I ask.

"Both." He says.

"I know." I say, while laughing.

I kiss him on his lips, and his grip on my waist tightens. The kiss lasts for about ten more seconds, then I pull away, remembering that I have to be at work.

"I gotta go." I say.

"Nooo! Stay with me." He pleads.

"I can't." I say.

"Why do you need a job anyways? If you need something, you already know I got you." He says.

"I'm an independent woman. Isn't that why you love me?" I ask.

"Yes, but it takes away from the time I can spend with you." He says.

I stare at him in awe. Grayson and I had been together since my freshman year of college. He and I are now juniors, and it still amazes me how in love with me he is.

Grayson and I met when I started working at the job I have now. He saw me one day and came back everyday for three weeks, just to build up the courage to talk to me. When he finally did, he drove me home and we became really good friends. After a couple months of us being best friends, we finally started dating.

"Gray! Stop canoodling and come on!" Ethan shouts from the car.

Grayson throws up a finger sign, and Ethan throws one back. I laugh at them, as Grayson pulls away from me. He continues to hold my hands.

"I'll see you tonight?" He asks.

"Yes. I get off at 10:30 so come over around 11:00." I say.
