Ending up with Knoxville (Johnny Knoxville

Chapter 4

I whipped my head around and was met with the familiar face that helped me out today with the drinks, Johnny.

"Oh shit! You scared me!"

I put my hand over my chest to try and calm down my rapid heartbeat.

I grabbed my phone that was still plugged into the speakers and paused the music.

"Hey my bad about that " he said scratching the back of his neck. I chuckled a bit.

"Johnny, right?" I asked so I don't forget and get his name mistaken for someone else's.

"That's right! Uhh sorry to bother you I just-"

I interrupted him. "Wait..how did you get in? I locked the doors" I gave him a very puzzled look, sorta afraid he broke in somehow to kill me.

"Actually your door was open, wasn't locked"

"Oh, I must've forgotten to lock it up" I said scratching my head a bit. I was still tired as fuck so I tend to forget easily. Thank god tomorrow was my day off.

"Yes you did haha, you should start double checking your doors in case someone was to come in and murder you"

There was a short awkward silence .

"Well that wasn't creepy" he said slightly hitting the front of his face with an open palm. We broke out into laughter after he had said that.

"Well Johnny, if you're not here to kill me, why're you here?"

He wiped a small tear from his eye as he laughed way harder than me.

"Right I uhm left a jacket here. It's really cold outside so I came back to get it"

I made an 'oh' face. Then remembered I had put it in the back room. "Actually yes I put it away in case you'd come by another time"

I walked out from behind the bar and around it straight to the back room passing Johnny. I grabbed it from Henry's desk, walked back to Johnny and gave it to him with a warm smile

He smiled back.

"Well thank you for keeping it safe"

I replied back "of course man"

I walked back behind the bar to continue cleaning, I had a lot to do before I got to go home.

But I noticed Johnny hadn't left, he was just looking around.

"You have to do all this by yourself?"

He referred to the messy and a trashed floors and tables that still needed to be cleaned. I chuckled and nodded as I cleaned more cups.

"Yea , it's whatever, tomorrow's my day off so I'll have all the time in the world to sleep"

He nodded and looked around still. Then the broom that was set behind me caught his eye. He walked towards it and grabbed it. I then tried to protest.

"No , Johnny you don't have to do that, I can handle the chores, you just go home" he scoffed at me, and that took me by surprise.

"I'm not gonna let you do this by yourself, and besides , you'll get home sooner if I helped you out" I thought about his offer for a moment, playfully putting my finger to my chin to appear deep in thought.

"Ughh okay fine you can help me, but if you think for one second you're gonna get some "friendship deal" for getting cheaper drinks here you're sadly mistaken" we laughed for a moment And he shook his head disagreeing to my accusations

"No no I'm not that type of dude" he began to sweep the gunk and trash from the floor as I watched him while washing the rest of the last few dishes.
