Teach Me Your Ways

Chapter two

Sunday

I needed to find a new job today to be able to pay rent. I groan and let Payton outside in the back yard to use the bathroom. I lock the fence and head inside to take a shower.

My appointment was at two o'clock and I had slept in till twelve. My shower was quick, yet awakening. I changed into jeans and a red bell sleeve shirt. I brush the knots out of my thick brown hair and leave it wavy. I hurry to let Payton back inside to realize Payton was gone with the gate wide open. Who the fuck opened it. I was frustrated and I started to get a migraine. I didn't have a car, I couldn't afford one. I jog down to the park, but I don't see him at all. I finally spot him with Raven and her uncle.

"Hi." I pant out of breath.

"You look pwetty! Date?" Raven questions as she continues to pet him.

I look up at her uncle who I haven't even got his full name. He raises an eyebrow.

"No I'm going to apply for a job, that I am now late for." I check my watch.

"Where are you applying?" Her uncle asks laying those pretty little eyes on me.

"Just the coffee shop right there." I point across the street.

"They're shitty-

"Uncle!" Raven gets mad at his swearing.

"I'm sorry Rave. They're crappy, the boss will hit on you every hour of every day." He looks me in my eyes.

"A girls gotta pay rent." I shrug. "Can you watch him for a bit? Yes? Thank you so much!" I answer for her uncle as I rush to apply.

The boss didn't like my tardiness, but he liked the fact I had experience with waitress. Meaning he liked the fact that I worked at Hooters before. I didn't have the huge boobs or butt so I didn't get a lot of tips from that. They just loved my personality and hard work. 

Her uncle did not lie about the boss hitting on me. But I could handle it, as long as he pays well. He confirmed that I had gotten the job and that I would work mornings from six to six.

"I think you'll fit in just fine." The boss says as he follows me making me roll my eyes. When we leave the back room, I see Raven, her uncle, and Payton. The sign outside said no pets allowed, so I tried to hurry up and get Payton outside.

"No pets allowed, can't you read?" The boss states to Raven's uncle getting sassy.

He stands up and walks up to him glaring. My boss quickly regrets it as he is looking up to the giant.

"Mr. Bryson, I am so so sorry. I did not realize it was you. Please have a free danish." The boss, David, begins to get nervous.

He just turns around and we head out. He hands me the leash and Raven hugs me.

"Will you have food with us tonight, pwetty please?"

"I have to take Payton home sweetie." I say as she pokes out her lip. Ugh baby fever.

"Uncle Caw, you told me she would."

I look at him. "He did?"

"Yes, he said that you vewy pretty too." 

I look up at him once more. "He did?"

"And he said-

"Let's get going." He cuts her off as they start walking towards his black Dodge Ram truck.

"Bye!" I wave.

"You're coming."  He states plainly.

"No I can't, Bryson. I don't even know you."
