Chapter 5. Welcome to Music Paradise

Nine o'clock AM sharp. Just as Isabel had said. Mornings did not always agree with you but you weren't going to let that be the reason for being late to work. Especially not on your first day on the job, no matter how hard it was to leave your bed. Isabel had already done so much for you. She always had your back and even managed to convince your father to let you move in with her. With all she has done you only strive to repay her for the favors.

You may your way down the stairs of the apartment that lead into the back of the music store. Once you've reached the bottom the the spiral staircase you were greeted by your cousin yawning while handing you a cup of coffee.

"Morning," Isabel began." Thank God for that..... The exchange was it?" Isabel questions herself. "Whatever, just thank God for coffee."

"Yeah, but as much as both sides gained new goods a big part of the Native American population died because of the Colombian Exchange," You say.

"Oh, you know your history..... Nerd."

"Uh okay I'm going to ignore that," you state as you accept the cup of coffee Isabel handed to you. "Anyways, what's our agenda for today?" You ask.

"Right, today's your first day. Welcome to Music Paradise! You're just going to run the cash register for today ."

"But cash registers don't have any legs," you titter. Even though Isabel had turned her back to you to walk away, you could feel her rolling her eyes at your bad joke. "Jeez tough crowd."

"Maybe you'll have better luck with Travis," Isabel retorts.

"And who exactly would Travis be?" you ask.

"He is your co-worker, remember? He's going to teach you all the basics. Now I have to go do a few errands so you'll have to introduce yourself to him but don't worry I'll be back soon..... Hopefully- okay bye."

"Wait!" You quickly exclaim.

"What?" Isabel asks as she turns herself around to face you.

"A friend of mine might stop by, do you mind?" you ask.

"Do I know this friend of yours?" Isabel questions you.

If Isabel had any clue that Delsin was your friend who was going to visit you today, you'd never hear the end of it as to how happy she is thinking that you two are back together, which is not at all the case. Still, Isabel is the last person you'd ever lie to so instead you simply respond with,"Oh I'm sure you do."

Isabel eyes you suspiciously before finally speaking again. "Look, (Name), I really have to go. Whoever your friend is, make sure he or she doesn't make a mess or cause any trouble, okay? Although knowing you, you don't usually affiliate yourself with those types of people but still. I'm counting on you and Travis to watch over the store while I'm gone. Don't let me down."

"Wow, um, that's kind of a lot of pressure for my first day but okay, I won't let you down," you sincerely say to Isabel.

Isabel gave you a heartfelt smile as she walks closer to you, expanding her arms and embraces you in a hug. "I know you won't, (Name)," she lowly mumbles into your ear.

"Now if only my dad had this much confidence in me like you do," you say while chuckling and glancing at the floor.

Just as Isabel had parted her lips to say something a sudden male voice reverberates throughout the walls of Music Paradise.
