"Your total is $337.82." I flash a quick look at the time and tap my foot against the hard tile, waiting for this customer to pay up. It’s 15 minutes after closing time and she should’ve been out of here by now, but of course she had to try on every color of the same shirt. I almost roll my eyes at her, but I force a smile as she hands me the money.
"Thank you for shopping at Malik, have a good night." I hand her the bags, almost wanting to throw it at her.
"Hey, is your boss around?" She looks aimlessly around the store. My boss? I scoff and suppress a smile. If she only knew.
"No, he won’t be here tonight." I look at the time again, maybe she’ll realize that she needs to get the fuck out.
"Oh okay. Say hello to the gorgeous man from me, Mrs. Jay." Mrs.? What the hell? I low key roll my eyes at her. She looks like she’s in her 40s, but she’s drooling over a 21 year old; I hate cougars, and all of these women who are after him.
"Have a good night." I say walking her towards the door.
I lock the glass door and double check for security, and release the remote controlled gate that goes over the glass so nothing in the store can be seen from the outside.
I look around the messy store that was once neat, “It’s gonna be a long night.” I huff and put on my headphones, and dance my way into doing go backs and recovery.
"Come on and use me up until there’s nothing left, take back the night!" I sing along with Justin Timberlake as I move around the store, then I stop in my tracks. I think I heard something. I pause the music, take off my headphones, and listen for a sound, but I hear nothing. I just continue listening to my music, but then I hear a bigger sound through the headphones. This time I decide to go to the back door and check the fitting room areas. I take the little front gate remote with me that also comes with a security alarm, just in case.
The back door seems intact so I head for the over sized fitting rooms. Checking room after room I find nothing and decide to return to the front and continue my job so I can get the hell out of here already.
I walk out of the last fitting room, and suddenly bump into a tall dark figure. I almost fall back and the dark figure catches me, then I panic and begin screaming for them to let go of me. I struggle to reach for the remote in my pocket but they get a hold of it before I do and cover my mouth with their hand.
"Shhh calm down babe, it’s just me." a familiar voice speaks and I stop moving. Zayn?
"It’s me Zayn." He turns on one of the dim lights in the rooms, and I’m still trying to catch my breath.
"What the hell Zayn? Don’t sneak up on me like that, I almost passed out!" I push him out of my way and walk out of the fitting room area, but he grabs my arm and pulls me back towards him.
"Someone is a little angry tonight." He chuckles. "I’m not angry, you literally appeared out of nowhere in the dark. What am I supposed to do?" I lie.
