Kia

"Kia what did I tell you about boys! They're bad, and mean, and only cause problems." Mrs. Shaylia says as I continue to mop the floor before we close the shop.

"I know but he's so handsome and plus he hasn't tried anything on me, I've already stated my rules." I tell her hoping that she will calm down.

As you can see I've just told my manager slash my grown up bestfriend about my new relationship with Emilio. I've tried to reassure her that he's that bad but she's not having any of it.

"I don't care. I don't even care if he looks like young Zac Efron. The thing is I don't want you to get hurt and I definitely don't won't you to make a mistake and regret it." She says referring to me and Nate. I went ahead and told her what we did plus the recent events between us which makes her even more worried.

At least I can say she cares.

I look up at her as she sits in the stool above just as I was going to mop underneath it. "I know. Just trust me. I'm getting older and I'm not a kid anymore. If I do something stupid then I will surely take full responsibility for my actions. But I plan to keep my head on straight just like I've always planned. You know my mom would soccer punch me in the face if I ever got pregnant." I say.

She knows my mom and how she is. My mother doesn't want me to be like her and I don't blame her. I don't plan on being a teen mom anytime soon. So that was out of the picture.

"I'm watching you Kia." She says pointing at her eyes and back at me.

"I know." I say laughing at her stupidness.

I know she was looking out for me and for that I was very grateful for her. Not many people can say that their manager was their best friend with amazing advise. I just so happened to be very lucky to have her.

"You ready to go?" She says after I put the mop up.

"Yep."

"Everything done?"

"Yes mam." I say as I grab my wallet and keys.

"Alrighty then I'll see you Monday."

"Yep. See you then." I say as I get into my truck and head to my house. I was super excited that Emilio was coming over tonight, but I also was nervous on how my parents would treat him. I mean they already know I'm dating him but Jason could  be a little much with his harsh handshakes and gruff looks but the thing is Jason was short, only 5'6, Emilio was 6'4 and there was a major difference in that.

I walk inside and the glorious smell of food hits my nose making me automatically walk towards the kitchen. I haven't had a chance to eat much today due to the fact that we we're busy all day but I couldn't wait to eat what was in here.

"Mom?" I say as I walk into the kitchen where she stands putting stuff together.

"In here." She yells.

"What are you making?"

"I made a cheese did. Your favorite. And we got some hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. Jason's out there now." She says as she mixes up some pink batter.

"What's that for." I ask

"I'm making a strawberry cheesecake. I'm super excited. You wanna help me?" She ask. The idea sounded fun but I really needed a shower. Emilio would be here in an hour and a half and I looked like I woke up in a trash can, with my hair in a bun and my makeup free face.
