The girl who cried wolf

Opening up

Valntyne's pov

"Why were you crying in your car" Ryan asked as soon as we sat down. I'm still debating on lying to him. But I better not
"On this day was the day my dad in my mind died. When I was 15 and my aunt was leaving to travel she decided to tell me what actually happened to my dad so you know I got emotional" I told him
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that"
"Don't be I haven't seen him since I was 8" I told him grabbing a drink of my black coffee. I trained my body to practically run on coffee and Red Bull if I needed it to.
"Well my dad was practically dead to me he wasn't ever around if he wasn't at work he was in his office at home and I wasn't ever aloud in there" he admitted to me. Is he seriously trying to relate to me cause if he even think he can relate to this he has another thing coming. I thought to myself
"I'm sorry from what jersey said her parents were the same as yours. Rich only appeared perfect in the spotlight had the nanny raise their kids it sounds horrible." I told him. He nodded his head then took a sip of his drink.
"Sound just like my life except I had my sister we were pretty close so when my dad wanted me to go into the family business. I told my sister which honestly she could run that place better than my father or I ever could. But she was the one who convinced me to move out here and get a degree but she said if I was going to move all the way from Boston to the other side of the continent I had to do what I loved no messing around so I promised her and she found me an apartment got college paid for me and sent me off all behind my parents back. I owe everything to her." He explained to me. Must be hard being so far away from her
"Well my mom died soon after giving birth to me then my dad had Alzheimer's at a very young age so he didn't want me to have to put up with his forgetting so he took me to my aunts and then committed suicide a few months later. Then my aunt met a explorer and followed him around. Left me to my own defenses. So I found a job that helped me keep clothes on my back and food in the house. I have only ever worked at one place and it worked in my favor. Then right out of high school I was offered a scholarship. I was able to stay in my home and get a degree. I met jersey when we graduated and she moved in that day that's my life" I told him leaving out some rough parts but he doesn't need to know that.
"I feel as though there is more to your story than just that but I will take what I got" he said
"If your going to fix a bunch of broken pieces I hope you have a lot of glue and it won't be easy" I challenged him
"I have gallons at my disposal and I wasn't expecting it to be easy which is why I'm doing it now you can resist all you want but I will put you back together you are the first person who put me in my place didn't treat me as a bag of money do in trade I'm going to put you back together." He challenges back
"We are going to be late for work" I said getting up and grabbing my purse and coffee.
"Well we better get walking boss" he said. He is teasing me oooo he shouldn't play that game with me.
"Well all of the pieces would be hard to find cause of their size." I said to tease him back
"Well I have a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers" he said. I smiled at that.

When we got inside the store everyone was ready to open I decided to make a inspirational speech for them to start their day.
"Fellow workers we are gathered her today to assist people in their shopping if we are asked. We are not to be rude or annoying this is a professional business we may sell clothes but that doesn't make this place any less professional and remember most of the time the costumer is always right" I said then gave them a smile
"Now on your ways I'm going to open the front door" I said to dismiss everyone. I walked toward the door and see a line at the door which meant that people were going to be running in and swarming the store. I open the door and was immediately swarmed with people. Ryan looked almost scared with the amount of people but then again this is his first Saturday. Saturday's are always this busy but this was his first and it will always be remembered. I remember my first I was a very terrified fifteen year old. but luckily I had an amazing mentor to guide me through this crazy mess of a store.
