Better Like This [ a Zayn Malik fanfiction ]

Chapter 4

It was around 9am when the electricity came and that makes me wake up from the sweet dream I was having, the only dream in weeks that wasn't a nightmare. So I'm kinda fucked up but the good thing about that, I can make coffe.

I get off my bed and open the ugly curtain on the room, fun fact about Oregon, the weather sucks. But I don't miss California, at all.

I walk to the kitchen and do some coffe, then I realized, I have no food. So basically I have to do two things today, shopping and get a job. Not in this order would be better. But for now I'll just chill out and enjoy the coffe. Suddenly I remembered my dream, not the all dream but something in it. A pair of a peaceful blue eyes. Those eyes were exactly like the ocean in the calm days, when you just don't mind to go for it and jump even though you'll get hurt at some point. And I've seen those eyes before, that guy from the pastry shop. He was the boy I dreamed with.

I finished my coffe and put on a nice jeans with a simple shirt of a random band. Three Days Grace, I saw when I looked at the mirror. My hair was as mess as it could so I just put it on a pony tail.

Red hair, tattoos, piercings, suicidal thoughs sometimes and depression I think I'll get a job very easly. Oh and a very ironic person.

After confirm that I look decent I left the house and walked into the center of the town looking for some poster saying: We gave jobs to red hair girls! I didn't found any but I do found a night-club-disco thing? So I enter, at 10am, why the hell is it open?! It was a regular bar, dance floor, counter, the-dj-place. The place was almost empty and the only guy on the bar came towards me, he must be around 25 years old, light brown hair with dark green eyes.

''I'm Austin, how can I help you?''

''Hi, my name is Kaytline... I'm new in the town and I need to get a job and I pass here and I was wondering if...''

''You have the job''- he interrupted me.

''What? Are you serious? I mean...''

''Yeah, we need someone to work as a bartender so...yeah you got the job. Do you have any experience?''

'' Yeah, I used to work on a beach bar. When can I start?''

''How about tonight? Can you be here at 7:30 so we can talk a little?''

''Yes sure, see you then.'' - I said happy, after all isn't that hard to get a job.

I get out of the bar and looked up to see the name of the bar, I was thinking in something like Oregon's Place, or something lame like that but the true name was XXIV which is 24, I think... After memorizing where the bar was I kept walking 'till I found a supermarket. Food, I need food, more coffee and cleaning products. All this with literally 20 bucks. So yeah I'm like, with the phone making the counts because my head can't think clearly without a cigarrettes. But with the money I have I can't afford a pack of cigarettes. While looking at the shampoos in the store, looking for the cheaper, I drop one. Fuck me, I have to drop the roundest one. The shampoo rolled on the floor 'till he crash at someone's feet. It was a boy, I look at his face. I know him, he's the guy from the pastry shop. Damn he's he follow me or what? I walked towards him and grab the shampoo.

" I'm sorry." - I said quickly.

" It's okay." - he said smiling. I didn't say anything, even if I wanted I couldn't, I was trapped in his eyes. I wouldn't mind to jump to them right now. It feels like the world stopped and there was nothing but his eyes. I just forgot all my problems, all the shit that exist in the world, all the parents stuffs, all the Zayn stuffs, all the depression stuffs, I just forgot about the stupid little things. Then I realized I was staring at his eyes and looked to the shampoo, he must think I'm a weirdo. But he was staring at me too, he still was after I looked down to the shampoo. And his eyes were killing me! Should I be on a freack show or what? I looked at him, smile and turn away, basically running away from him. 

Happily the twenty bucks were enough, I walked home thinking about him. Why everytime I see him we end up apologizing ourselves? I wondered what exist behind those blue eyes. When at home I unpacked the things I bought, it was lunch time, can't belive I spent almost two hours shopping. So I could stay home and cook, but that means I have to buy more food for the other days or I could go to a McDonalds and spend 5 bucks. McDonalds seems good. So I just leave the house, again. It wasn't hard to find a McDonalds, I mean, never is. I just ordered some random burger, for me it all taste the same, if I say this to Zayn he would kill me. He was a McDonalds addicted, so addicted that he took his first girlfriend on their first date to McDonalds. I remember that day, he wasn't that excited for meet with the girl he was more excited for the food. I just stay in home that day, a little jealous. Even more jealous when he told me they were dating each other, that lasted a month. Shit I was trying to forget Zayn, not think about how jealous I was of his girlfriend. 

Eliminating Zayn from my mind, I ate that delicious burger and came back home, what should I do before work? I remembered that I brought some books so I just grabbed one from the bag, Wake by Lisa McMann. I start reading it and when looked at the clock were 7 o'clock. Shit, the time flies! I landed the book on the table and went to the room looking myself on the mirror. Skinny jeans, band shirt, shoes. Am I okay to go work? Well I think so. I left the house and made my way till the bar, 7:30 just in time. 

''Here you are, so the bar opens at 8:30 and you're gonna work as bartender, be nice and smile, if something happens you can call me or one of the others employees. You have to wear the bar's uniform and may vary the hour you go home, any questions?'' - Austin said just after I enter in the bar, I think he was already waiting for me that's why the door was open.

''Yeah, if there's a cocktail or any drink that I can't make or just too many people at the same time, what should I do?'' 

'' Rachel's gonna help you, you won't be alone.''

I nodded.

''You can go change, first door on the left.'' - he said pointing at the door.

I nodded again and followed his directions. There was a girl in the room, Rachel I assume because of the silver plate above her chest.

''Hi, you must be Kaytline, I'm Rachel, here's your uniform if you need something please let me know.'' - she said friendly.

Once again I nodded and walked into the bathroom to change myself. A pencil skirt and a shirt, how confortable. I walked to the bar where Rachel teaches me how to do some drinks, I  think I got it if not I'll give them water, is way better, sometimes.

At 8:30 the bar opens and some people start to come, mostly people around the twenties, never thought there was so many people in this town. So far I've been doing a good job, I think. Around 10:00 the bar was almost full .

''A 'sex on the beach' please ''- I heard someone say. I can make this one, Rachel teached me this one.  I make one quickly and it looks pretty it's good to go. I turn around and see the guy you ordered the drink. I'm almost sure he folloes me, anyway I gave him his drink. 

'' Here it is'' - I said. He taste it.

'' You forgot vodca.'' - he said - '' a 'sex on the beach' needs vodca, without it, it's just 'a beach' and everybody knows that 'the sex' is the best part. Get it?'' 

I felt quite stupid now.

''I'm sorry, I'll make you a new one.''

''Don't know if you notice but everytime we saw, one of us apologises. Give me just the vodca this time.'' - he said, looking me straight in the eyes. His eyes were my weakness.

I gave him the vodca.

''Well then, I'm sorry that everytime we saw I apologise myself.''- I said smiling, never taking my eyes of his.
