Shot in the Dark - Ondreaz Lopez Fan Fiction

Part 4 - Unexpected Happiness

I woke up the next day and checked my email and I got an email from a job I applied for a week earlier. It said that I had an interview at 3:00 that day. The email was sent two days before. I didn't check my email that much but I am glad I did or I would have missed it. This was perfect. With me and my mom both working, we would be out of that house in no time. I looked at my phone and realized it was 1:30. I accidentally slept in. I knew I needed to be early. I panicked. I ran to the upstairs bathroom and pushed open the door only to see Ondreaz in a towel standing in front of the mirror brushing his teeth. My jaw hit the floor. His body looked amazing. His abs were defined and his arms were bulky and- "Good morning" he said. "Uh, good morning" I said nervously shielding my face. "Why is your hand on your face?" he asked followed by a smirk. "You like what you see?" he smiled. "I didn't expect you to be in here" "I need to take a shower" I said nervously. "Alright, I'll let you take your shower" he said and walked out. I took the fasted shower I've ever taken in my life.

When I finished I put on a business casual outfit that I hoped would get me the job. I arrived at the place of work and a young man approached me, "Hi, my name is Allen. I work here. The boss is right this way". Allen was a little taller than me, looked to be in his very early 20's and had the most beautiful smile. His eyes were dark grey and his hair was dark brown and looked so soft. He had a perfectly sculpted jawline. "This is where I leave you, good luck- uh- what's your name?" Allen asked. "Me? Oh, uh, Cheyenne" I panicked. "Cheyenne. I really like that name" he blushed. I blushed back. I was flattered, but I had to focus. I walked into the boss's office and she looked mean. She had long black hair and no smile on her face. She seemed tough as nails. She didn't make eye contact with me or even tell me her name. I offered to shake her hand but she didn't notice because she wasn't looking. She asked a few questions and then it was silent. She then finally looked me in my eyes, "Cheyenne" "You may leave" she said with no expression on her face. "Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am" I said with a shaky voice. I quickly shuffled out of the room as fast as I could. On my way out I bumped right into Allen and accidentally made him spill water all over himself. "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry I-" I stopped. In that moment, I looked up at him and he was smiling. "Dont worry about it Cheyenne, It's just water" he kindly told me. I laughed and smiled. I left as fast as I could.

When I arrived back at Ms. Trish's house, Ondreaz was sitting on the front porch. I walked over and sat next to him. "What are you doing out here?" I asked. "I was waiting for you to get back so I could ask you how your interview went" he said. "Well, I'm not sure, I should be getting a call sometime soon" I said. Ondreaz looked at me and smiled, "You did great, I know you did" he said. Suddenly my phone rang. "That fast?" I thought. Usually they wait a few days to call. I answered nervously. "Hello?" I said. "Hello, Cheyenne this is Debra, I just interviewed you and Ive called to inform you that you do not meet our qualifications and will not be working here. Thank you have a nice evening" she instantly hung up. I pulled the phone off my face and sat still. "What's the matter?" Ondreaz asked. I hesitated "I didn't get it". I couldn't help my mom and I get a new house and I was devastated. I couldn't keep it in anymore, I began to cry. "Hey don't cry, it's gonna be okay" Ondreaz said as he wrapped his arm around me. I leaned on his shoulder and cried. "Look at me," Ondreaz said lifting my head up. I looked him in the eyes. "Not everyone gets the job after their first interview. Don't ever give up. You will get a job, just keep trying" he said. Ondreaz was right. I needed to not give up. I needed to keep moving forward. I needed to suck it up and be strong, especially for my mom. "You're right" I said "Thank you Ondre". He wiped a few tears of my face and said, "Princesses are too pretty to cry". I smiled. We made eye contact for a long time. I was seeing Ondreaz in a new light. I was getting more and more attracted to him as time went by. I didn't expect him to be the one to make me happy. Maybe all this time I've had the wrong opinion about him. He brushed my cheek and pulled me closer to him. Our noses touched, he leaned in and kissed me. I felt a spark. He was an amazing kisser. We kissed for it felt like 30 minutes. Actually it probably was 30 minutes.

That night I laid down in bed and Ondreaz walked by the doorway to the room I was staying in. He leaned one arm up against the doorway and crossed his legs. "Goodnight Cheyenne" he smirked. "Goodnight Ondre" I laughed. I have never felt this way about anyone. I didn't know how to act around him. If anything more happened between me and Ondreaz, me and my mom could get kicked out and we wouldn't have a place to stay. I was hoping I could control myself, but I was afraid that wouldn't happen.
