As usual, I had Baby Alex strapped onto my back as I worked, I was restocking some of the shelves. It was only 2 of us working, my manager said he was going to fire the other three for not even bothering to tell him they weren't going to show up but, I WAS NOT COMPLAINING. Who complains about more hours? Not Me.
The doorbell chimed meaning I had to hurry and get to the register, it was the girl I seen Xander with at the apartment.
I ain't even watch her walk around, she could steal the whole damn store and I wouldn't give a shit.
Baby Alex started gurgling so I switched the carrier around so that she was in the front.
"You hungry baby doll?"
She just stared at me sucking on her fingers, I'ma take that as a yes.
"Miranda, she's hungry."
My co-worker came speed walking from the back, she isn't able to have kids so she was mad excited when Dustin allowed me to bring Baby Alex to work with me.
"Hey, baby girl." She cooed as she took her out of the carrier.
The girl came to the register with some fresh fruit and snacks. As I was ringing her stuff up her phone rang.
"Yes Baby?... I'm just grabbing a few snacks... I know I'm on the way... Alex-... I'm coming, hold on... love you too... bye."
Bitch ass nigga.
"Your total is $24.38."
She gave me a hundred dollar bill and waited for her change and receipt.
As I was handing it to her Omari came in, we've been talking ever since I gave him my Instagram at the grocery store, with some roses.
"Hello, Beautiful."
I smiled hard as fuck handing ole girl her bag. He came up as she walked off.
"What you doing after work?"
"Nothing really."
"Ight bet, lemme take you on a dinner date."
"I can't."
"You-"
"My roommate is out of town and I have his daughter."
"Bring her, what time I need to pick y'all up?"
"7:30."
"Ight, send the addy. We're going to Bin 5, so dress casual."
"Okay, see you then."
"Ight."
He handed me the flowers and walked out.
"Somebody play some music!"
-
I got dressed then I dressed Baby Alex for tonight it was going on 7:00 so I had to rush. As he said, Xander was gone before we came back so I was relieved.
