The Day After The Present

The next morning, my alarm woke me up and a small sigh escaped my lips as I shut it off before rolling off my bed. Will and I texted until I fell asleep last night, mostly just talking about silly stuff and funny memories we had together, but we never mentioned anything about us having sex with each other. It's like we went back to being best friends after he screwed me, which I'm fine with, but now my body is craving his even more than before. I can't think about this right now, today is my first day at work in Spencer's and I'm super excited. Rushing into the bathroom, I brush my teeth before taking a quick shower then going back into my room to pick out an outfit. I decide on a black v-neck shirt that has lace on the sleeves with a pair of maroon skinny jeans and black with white slip-on Vans. I put my hair up in a semi-high ponytail and leave my bangs out, keeping them a little wavy close to ends of it.

Heading downstairs with my side bag hanging on my shoulder and phone in my hand, Caesar jumps around me. I don't pick him up just because I don't want to get hair on my clothes, but I quickly give him food and fresh water before I grab a chewy granola bar, stuffing it in my side bag before grabbing a red apple along with a strawberry yogurt. I head to the front door, opening it and take a step back as I see Will standing there, about to knock on the door. My tongue quickly darts out, grazing my bottom lip before I speak. "Hey.." I breathe out as I begin to blush and a small smirk appears on his face. "Hey.. Where ya heading?" he asks as his eyes trace my body from top to bottom before making eye contact with me again. "Oh! I'm going to work.. I work at Spencer's." I say softly and he smiles as he nods his head. "What time will you be out?" he asks as he moves closer to me. "I start off with four hour shifts, so I get out at twelve today." I say more as a whisper now. "Perfect, I'll pick you up for lunch then." he says more as a command and I nod my head as I nibble on my bottom lip. He leans in and places a soft kiss on my forehead before pulling away from me. "I'll see you later, Butterfly." he says before walking away and I take in a deep breath before I leave my house and head to work.

My first day at work went by fast and I honestly had fun there. I've worked in customer service before, but the manager was very disrespectful, that's all I'll mention about him. My new manage is a female though, her name is Audrey, and she's the sweetest, coolest, and smartest woman I've ever met.. Well, besides my mom. As I leave the store, I wave at Audrey. 

Eliza meets me at the entrance of the store and I smile as she hugs me. "It feels like I haven't seen you forever." she says close to my ear and I see Will over her shoulder, watching me. He then takes out his phone and begins to text someone. "Lets go celebrate your first day at work, pizza on me." she cheerfully says and I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket. "Hold on.." I mumble as I check my phone to see a message from Will and I quickly open it.

Go ahead with her, I'll stop by later. 

I smile as I put my phone back in my pocket and look up to see that Will is already gone. "Yeah, let's go to Pizza Hut." I say as I lock my arm with hers and we begin to walk out to the parking lot. "Where's Alec?" I ask and she sighs as she shakes her head. "He's really heartbroken, he feels like you left him for Will and I know you didn't because you saw Will at the party and I tried to explain that to him, but he just thinks that I'm on your side.. I'm on my side!" she exclaims the last part and I chuckle. 

"I can see why he's upset.." I say softly and get into the passenger side of her car.

"He still loves you."

"And I still love him, but only as a friend." I mumble as a frown appears on my face.

"So much for staying friends." she mutters and drives out of the parking lot.
