I stormed into the break room to find none other but Arianna there. All she did on the clock was eat and check herself out in the wig department mirror for most of the shift. She was cool to talk to and all but a horrible worker with a horrible work ethic. To be quite honest I don't even know why she chooses to work here at Elegant. Her parents are very wealthy and the men she chooses to keep company with are also.
"Hey girl hey!" she took a huge chomp out of a juicy red apple and gave me a wave. I Plopped down in on the plastic chairs across from her. "Cat got your tongue love?" She stared at me as she lifted one freshly waxed brow at me taking another bite . Her manicured hands curled perfectly around the the once forbidden fruit. Her hazel eyes never leaving my own. She always made me very uncomfortable with the way she would just stare at me.
I mean don't get me wrong I have nothing against lesbians. I've even had a few lesbo experiences over the years . Especially at sleepovers. Playing boyfriend and girlfriend and practicing kissing each other. But, I didn't fully swing that way. Why is she just staring ? It finally dawned on me I never responded to her.
"O-oh hey girl." I broke eye contact and looked down at my hands. "Sorry was just thinking about how I totally might be fired." I couldn't help but run my fingers through my freshly straightened hair. I never had it straightened before. Been natural all my life. I was so surprised at how long my hair was. It reached pass my bra straps almost to my butt . I wrapped a strand around my fingers and twirled. I hope I don't have any heat damage . That Dominican lady was a beast with that flat iron and hot comb. My ears are still traumatized.
"Hey sleeping beauty. Snap out of it" I couldn't help but chuckle. " Now why would you be getting fired again?!" I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I replayed what happened in my head a few moments ago
"This witch of a bitch damn near cursed me and my whole family when I told her that we discontinued carrying Shea moisture conditioner. " Arianna looked at me as a small smile formed on her lips next thing I knew apple bits were all over the table. Wtf.
" Yuck, omg Arianna cover your mouth" I shook my head disgustingly. "I--I'm sorry " she doubled over in laughter. "Are you talking about little old white lady with massive breasts about yay-high , a multitude of gray protruding from her noise , and always have and buying that $12.99 wig we have on sale?"
I nodded slowly. She snorted like a pig and busted in another fit of giggles. "What is so damn funny?" She slowly wiped the tears from eyes. Grabbing a napkin from the dispenser she wiped the apple bits from the table. " Awe newbie, everyone here knows to run to the back as soon as you see wicked witch of the west fly through those doors"
"There is no helping that woman she's always a bitch when she comes in here...can never satisfy her." I snorted. Got that right "I wouldn't worry about it too much newbie, whatever you said to her she had coming." I could only hope so. I just got this job and I couldn't afford to lose it by cursing out some old lady. My manager Dave was very easy going but after what I said back there I doubt he would keep me on.
The door swished open pulling me out of thought . Dave stood in the doorway, " My office please." Arianna looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile. It didn't help calm my nerves at all. I slowly stood up and made my way towards the door. Shit, here we go.
