Already 5 o'clock. My day went by way too fast, but I think I know what I am going to do now. I think it is time to move on from Rebecca. There is nothing there at all... Just a lot of memories and a lot of pain. I will always remember the good times, but our chapter is over. I need to move on and so does she. We aren't good together. We have the idea of being in love and having the happy ending, but we are not each others happy ending. She is someone else's and I am someone else's as well. 

I pulled into the parking lot with my music up so loud than I was getting weird looks. I was to the point where I didn't care. I was really stuck in my feelings.. So many emotions.. Just so many things on my mind. I parked my car and sighed when I looked at my phone. She was blowing up my phone with a lot of sweet and loving things. I just ignored it. I had nothing to say. I regret what we had just did a few hours ago. I can't believe I let that happen. I am so mad at myself and I know the guys are going to beat my ass for this.

I got out of my car and began walking into work. I pulled out my keys and unlocked the back door and walked in. I clocked in and once I did I saw Yami. He was standing by the wall looking at me with a huge smirk on his face. I turned red when I  had seen he was looking at me... He then walked up to me and gave me a hug. It caught me off guard, but I liked it. 

"Hey darling, I've been trying to get a hold of you all day but I haven't heard from you at all since early this morning. Did everything go alright?" He looked at me with some worry in his eyes. I guess it bothered him that I hadn't talked to him today, and I'm kinda surprised that it did bother him. I mean he can talk to anyone else, but he was upset about not talking to me?

"Yeah, I figured out what I am going to do. I just did something that I regret really badly. It's been eating at me and I am really disappointed in myself. I also didn't mean to ignore you, I was just really busy with Becca and by the time I looked at the time it was time for work." I looked at him and he smiled at me.

"It's okay we can talk about it during dinner. We're bagging next to each other during dinner so you're suck with me for at least 4 hours, or talk tonight after close or when we meet up Saturday after my shift. Whichever you prefer dear. Just know that I am all ears and I will be here for you, okay?" He smiled at me and walked up front. I just stood there for a minute and was just shocked on what he had just said. Becca would be demanding me to tell her right then and there. Yami was just cool about it and just left it up to me. This is strange.

I walked up front looking at the set up and I saw Joey putting everyone in their spots for the night. He then came up to me and winked. He knew that I had seen that he purposely placed Yami and I together on shift. I mean we're studs in these spots but so is Joey. He's just trying to have fun playing cupid. I just smiled at him and shoved him playfully. 

*closing time*

"So man want to get some coffee once we're done closing up?" Joey had said to me while we were both in the office. He was almost done closing up front while I was finishing up money. It was a good shift tonight. We had a good crew and I was with Yami all night and that made it so much better. I really enjoy working with him. We were talking about pick up lines, anime shows, tattoos and music. We had a good time while we were bagging orders. I had a really good night.

"Yeah we can grab coffee once we're done. I think it's going to be a really early night. It'll be nice getting out right at 11 for once." I smiled at Joey and he nodded at me while he headed back up front. Once he closed the door the door opened again but I paid no attention to it. I just continued counting and putting everything into the system. Then I felt someone stroke my back and that made me jump. I looked and I saw him. He then laid his chin on the top of my head... I just blushed. I didn't know what to do or say...

"How's counting going? We're almost done, so I just thought I'd see how you were doing. I hadn't see you for about an hour so you know I had to come see you of course." He gave me a hug and that killer smile. I swear this guy... He already drives me crazy. Am I getting real feelings for him? I need to take this slow and not hop into anything like I usually do. I need to take my time and not rush into. I think this could be something that can possibly work out in time. I need to play this smart. He could either be a really good friend or more. I just don't want to mess anything up with him. I really enjoy talking to him and I really enjoy his company. 

I walk back up front and put all the drawers back where they should be. I check everyone and have them clock out. The last ones there were Joey and Yami. He was sitting outside waiting for me I can tell. He could've left 10 minutes ago, but he stayed and waited on me. I locked the door and Joey walked to his car and told me he would meet me at our usual spot. Yami walked me to my car and gave me hug. This is something I am not used to at all. I smiled and I sent him a text as soon as I got to the car. I drove off to meet with Joey. This actually turned out to be a decent night.

Now I just have to tell Joey what happened earlier today...
