I was laying in bed after Brody left. I couldn't stop thinking about him or Chris. I rolled over and looked at my clock. I only had a few more hours before I had to get up in the morning! I decided I wasn't going to fall asleep just laying there, so I got up and walked to the living room to watch TV. I just flipped through channels, until I was eventualy able to fall asleep. I woke up the next morning when I heard Chris get up and get in the shower. I yawned, and dragged myself off the couch. I looked at the clock and realized I woke up late!
"Ah shit!" I said, and ran back to my room. I got dressed as quickly as possible, and just threw my hair back. I didn't even bother with makeup, aside from some powder. I ran downstairs to my car and drove as fast as I could to work. When I got there Brody was there with Jake and Lukas.
"Late? I try to set my clocks ahead." Lukas said.
"Yeah, well I guess it doesn't work everytime." I said, and ran to the back to clock in. I looked at the clock and was only five minutes late.
"Oh thank goodness!" I sighed with relief.
"I'm just messing with you." Lukas said.
"Huh?" I asked.
"It's only five minutes. I was teasing you." He said.
"Oh! yeah. I'm a little out of breath." I said, and he laughed.
"You kill me." He said, and walked back out to the front, laughing. I grabbed my name badge and put my purse in my locker.
"Hey. You late rebel you." Brody said, and sat down on the couch.
"I still couldn't sleep after you left." I told him.
"Me either." He said, and yawned.
"At least you made it here on time." I said.
"You are FIVE minutes late! Give yourself a break!" He said.
"I can't help it. I like being early, you know that." I told him. He just smiled and shook his head.
"Hey, sorry if I caused any trouble last night." He said.
"No, you were okay. Chris and I worked it out." I told him.
"Good." He said.
"Hey, can one of you organize the records?" Jake said, poking his head in the back.
"Yeah!" I said, and jumped up. I went out to the front and started alphabetizing the records. I looked up and saw Ariel walk up with some guy. She turned and started kissing him. When she did I good a good look at his face. I dropped the records I was holding.
"WHOA! Careful there! You'll break those." Brody said, picking them up. He looked up.
"Oh. Yeah. I guess they started dating a week ago." Brody said, looking at them. "What's bugging you about it?" He asked.
"Huh? Uh, nothing." I said, and took the Records from him.
"Blair?" the guy that had been kissing Ariel said. I ducked behind the CD case closet to me.
"Blair, I know I saw you." He said, and came over.
He turned the corner and saw me sitting on the floor.
"I uh, dropped my key." I lied.
"How are you?" He asked.
"Okay." I said, and stood up. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Oh, uh, I'm seeing someone now." He said.
"Oh, good for you." I said. He had a smug look on his face, so it made me want to lie and say I was too.
"Who?" He asked, like he didn't believe me. I hated when he did that.
"Him." I said, and pointed to Brody. Brody looked startled.
"Really? Does he know?" Vinny asked.
"Yes he knows." I said, and walked over to Brody. Brody smiled and put his arm around me.
"Brody." He said, and held out his hand. Vinny shook it.
"Vinny." Vinny said.
"Well, I need to get back to work babe." Brody said, and leaned down and kissed me.
"Bye." Vinny said, and left.
"What was that about?" Brody asked.
"Ex." I said. "He's a slimeball. I can't believe Ariel likes him."
"So, now that I'm your boyfriend, how about we go out back for some lovin?" He asked, and I started laughing.
"I don't think so." I said, and started putting the records back in order.
"You sure? I hear I'm pretty good." He said, and started thrusting his hips.
"GO AWAY!" I shouted, and he started laughing.
"I'm so fucking funny!" He said as he walked off. I just rolled my eyes and continued working.
