"Oops I'm sorry." She slyly remarked after smearing her chocolate ice cream all over my chest.
Great.. Just what i need.. Ice cream all over my new baby blue tee shirt. -Hailey. She hates me, i think its because her boyfriend finds me to be eye candy. He flirts with me and she knows it.
"Yeah you're sorry.. and i think you're pretty. You know what those two statements have in common? they're both lies."
oooo's and ouch's murmured throughout the joint. But the best part was her face.. staring down at me.
Hailey-- 6 foot Me- 5'2
"Vanessa you're shift started ten minutes ago come on."
My boss apparently didn't see what just happened but i wasn't about to put up a fight and lose my job. I pushed my way past Hailey, got my apron from behind the counter, tied it around my 24 inch waist and pretended like nothing happened.
I work 4 to 9 every Friday at Sips n' Slides a burger joint that now apparently sells ice cream.
bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz
My phone lit up and i couldn't believe who's name was on the screen... Neil. I cleared my throat and ran to the bathroom.
"Hello?" No response.
"Hello??"
"Hi.. Vanessa?
His voice was quiet and airy . Something was obviously wrong.
"Hi Neil, whats up?" I couldn't help but smile even though something was obviously wrong. I cant believe he called me!
"Can you meet me somewhere i need to talk to someone."
"My shift doesn't end till 9."
I looked at the clock. 7:45
"Ohh.. well uh.. ill come pick you up at 9 then."
"Okay. you can do that."
"See you then. Bye."
"Bye."
The next hours and fifteen minutes was spent washing table, taking orders and most importantly thinking about Neil. The last time i talked to him he was calling me a whore and told me i was a fuck up in life. Maybe he wants to apologize? Or maybe its a set up and Hailey's going to be there too. I hated her for dating him and well many other reasons. Well if she is there at least i have Cody. Hes my boyfriend at the moment but ive been wanting to end it with him ever since i caught him making out with my best friend. He doesn't know i know.
"Excuse me miss?"
"How may i help you?" I look up to see Neils face staring at me. "Oh hey."
"Hey sorry i guess I'm early."
8:58 "Only by two minutes its fine."
I untied my apron and clocked out at 9 like i did every friday but this time it was neil picking me up not Cody. I wonder where he is anyways. Neil walked me out to his car and even opened the door for me. I blushed while i watched him walk around the car and get into the drivers side.
"So.. long time no talk huh.?" He asked that question slowly like he was holding something in.
"Yeah sorry but i didn't really know how to talk to you since the last conversation we had."
"What are you talking about? I thought it was a pretty normal conversation i mean i offered to buy you cotton candy and you said yes. Pretty normal conversation to have at the county fair i think."
My mouth dropped.. he really didn't say all that shit to me. Maybe i actually have a chance with him!
I cleared my throat. "You weren't the one who called me a whore were you.. Or tell me that I'm a fuck up in life.. That was Hailey?"
His face look so hurt when he heard that.
"No. Vanessa i would never hurt you.. Hailey.. well she hurt pretty much every girl in my life. I'm so sorry.. By the way.. I take it she did that to your shirt?"
"How'd you guess?"
"Well She uh broke up with me today. And i told her that i didn't care because i liked someone else that was better than her. Guess she thought it was you."
Great he likes someone else. Dreams= Crushed.
