6 Not So Bad

(Evans POV)

Embarrassed is nothing compared to how I felt and still feel.

The person that I hate most, the one and only dude that would annoy me all day just for fun; kissed me yesterday and saved me from Becky- I mean Camilles sticky hands.

I came to work early today. Like..two hours early just to avoid him and have time to think about what to say to him if he asks and how to act or what to do. SHIT!!!

My life really couldn't get any worse.

And in that moment the bell rang, signalling that someone has entered our shop. But you see, the catch is that the shop is not even open yet. So there are two possibilities.

One, it is Ellie, my employer,OR my coworker Aaron.

"sigh"

"What are you doing here so early?" I screeched and flinched out of the chair I was sitting in when a voice suddenly whispered in my ear.

"Jesus bajesus! You scared the living daylights out of me!!" I yelled at the person I did not want to see.

Aaron laughed, living his life ya know? Finding pleasure in other peoples pain.

"Chillax bro, it's just me." Bruh.

"Yes, but it is you that I fear."

..

What did I just say?!! I am SO stupid!!!!, I need a new life. Seriously. How could I say that, now he is going to think up things about me that ARE NOT EVEN TRUE.

I'M PANICKINGGGGGG!!!!!

"Dude, you ok? You look really tired and you are sweating like crazy." Yeah, no shit Sherlock.

"Well, no wonder. That happens when you scare someone, ya know?" I said sarcastically.

I cleared my throat and said "So.. what are you doing here so early?.. your shift doesn't start until, like.. " I looked at my watch and nodded." One and a half hours."

He chuckled as a response and said. "I could ask you the same bae." He had a devilish smirk dancing on his lips and I swear I could see the devil entering his body.

"Please don't call me that, what happened yesterday was...um.. a show..JUST a show." I cleared my throat and looked anywhere except him.

"About that.. who was that girl." NOOO. I knew he was going to ask. What am I supposed to tell him?, that she is my ex who was and still is a slut that sleeps with every man she sees?

"Evan?" It looks like I took too long to answer because he had to ask me again.

"She uh..she is my ex.." I whispered lowly. I took a deep breath to restore my confidence that I by the way don't have and said " She uh.. just can't get over the fact that we broke up.." I trailed off mid-sentence thinking about how I should continue but he thankfully replied with "You don't have to continue if it's too painful."

He sighed and sat down next to me. "A girl that I loved broke my heart and months later she came running back trying to get back with me."

"And what did you do?" I asked. He trailed a little before saying "I rejected her and refused to let her touch me anymore. That way the process could be as painless as possible."

So he did love at least one of the girls. It feels weird knowing that he could be a nice guy if he wanted to act like one. Though I could see why girls are into him. He is really handsome in deed and he does seem like a nice guy if you don't converse with him.

He has a sharp jawline and strikingly electric green eyes. His jet black hair shines beautifully in the light and even those look like they have been tinted with blue. He isn't much taller than me but his height definitely suits him. It brings out his figure nicely and his broad shoulders compliment him in every way.

I bet that if I rolled up his shirt and moved his jeans a little lower on his body I would find a perfectly carved out v-line and traceable abs that look like they have been hand carved. Half of them you could see through his tight black T-shirt. I love the fact that it doesn't look like it's too much on him. It's just perfect.

His shoulders don't look too big for him either. He looks like he was maybe one of the jocks in highschool, but didn't play for long.

I realised I was staring for too long when Aaron coughed waking me up from whatever satanic trance I was in. I cleared my throat awkwardly and looked at some random corner of the room.

"U-um.. let's just start preparing the store for the opening.

~~~

Walking alone at home at like.. seven at night with headphones is perhaps not the best idea I ever had but boredom decided to once again hit me in the face like a freakin' unexpected storm that just so happens to be unannounced.

The night seems to be very still, with not much going on. I always loved taking walks at night because there is not much fussle and hassle going on. And another reason is because there are rarely people outside at this hour which is very calming.

I hate humans nowadays, and to be honest, if I could choose a job where I don't have to interact with other human beings I would gladly accept it but unfortunately it's too late to do that now.

I'm pretty happy with the job I have now anyway. It pays really well and I feel very welcomed at the little shop, and that is enough to make me want to stay. Heck, that little coffee shop pays better than most jobs so I'm pleased with that.

My only complaint is that Aaron is very annoying. And he is a dang noob at everything. I don't even know how he got hired, I mean.. I got in because I made an apprenticeship that was hella hard to finish. It is not very easy being an elite waiter that is also a cook and a chef and a baker and a cashier and a manager. Trust me, it was a living hell studying to be what I am today.

And seeing someone being able to get a job so easily without studying for it makes me mad. This place didn't allow noobies working here, heck, they couldn't even apply for it. So how did HE get hired without the required diploma.

Beats me.

Oh well... at least I won't be so alone anymore from now on and I will have some help doing all of the damn different types of work I do alone every day.

Though, I don't know how helpful Aaron will be.
