(Evans POV)
Just as I thought, working with him is a literal nightmare. He wouldn't stop humming some tune that I don't recognize. And he keeps messing things up, like orders or he forgets how the coffee machine works.
I don't know what Ellie thought when she hired him but this dude is as dumb as a rock. And no matter how many times I tell him how things work he still screws up and then kind of laughs it off like it's nothing. And I am the one that has to clean up his mistake so that Ellie won't see anything wrong in the shop when she enters.
I was now taking an order when this Aaron guy decided it would be great if he started playing with a cup that was drying off next to the faucet. The cup was obviously made out of glass. And since the cup was still wet it was quite slippery.
I will count to ten and let you guess what happened next.
.... .... you done?..ok
The cup slipped out of his hand and dropped to the ground with a loud bang, making the customers ordering look behind me confused.
I told them that their orders would be ready soon and ran to the backroom where I guessed that Aaron was. And I was right, he was there only he didn't look his usual amused self.
He was on the ground holding his hand that looked like a mess. There was blood coming out of a wound that looked pretty bad.
"My, what have you done you moron?" I asked as I went to grab a bandage.
I gently took his hand and poured some disinfectant on the wound. He hissed loudly before saying "Ow, you dick, couldn't you have warned me!?" He he whisper-yelled.
"Dude, it's disinfectant, what'd you think was gon' happen?" I sounded very cruel, but spend 8 hours with this guy and see for yourself how annoying he could be.
He didn't respond and looked away at some corner of the room. I took the chance to finish bandaging the wound and stand up to finally proceed with the orders that I had to 'deliver'.
"Thank you.." A voice said quietly from behind me. I turned around and smiled awkwardly at him. "Just be more careful. Next time I'll punish you."
The words left my mouth as if I were a qualified boss scolding their employee. It felt nice not stuttering for once.
I smiled to myself while proudly exiting the room.
~~~
I was walking back home when an unwanted aura enveloped me and a strong scent of disgusting perfume, that I have once loved and craved entered my nose.
Noooo....not her again.. I groaned before before hands were thrown around me, suffocating me and touching all around me.
"Babyyyy!!!!!" An unpleasantly high pitched voice screeched. I knew immediately who it was.
It was Camille, she is my ex- girlfriend and she keeps bothering me. I swear, girls can be so damn annoying sometimes and they just can't seem to register the words 'I am breaking up with you'.
And even though I know not all girls are like that I just can't shake the feeling that they all are such sluts, although I know many sweet girls that are not like that. Man, I wish all girls were sweet and kind. Every day there are less of them and more of the "Becky" kind out there.
"Camille, what do you want?" My voice came out more than annoyed. It came out raspy and pissed, more than I actually intended it to be. But maybe she will get the point if I show no affection.
"Babyyyy..." She whined annoyingly. "Why are you so cold towards your-"
"I am going to stop you right there Camille." I interrupted now very pissed at the fact that she has the nerve to call me baby and call herself my girlfriend..well, that's what she wanted to say before I interrupted her.
"You are not my girlfriend Camille. Don't you dare call yourself that after what you did. And stop calling me baby, it is very annoying. And get your dirty hands off me, who knows where they have been."
Camille pouted at me but I don't care. Nothing she says will make me want to go back to her.
"Come on Evan." She started while she caressed my shoulder, dragging her hand up and down my arm.
"I know you have been lonely lately, I'm sure you would like someone to comfort you a little." She said seductively while putting a hand on my chest.
It was quite obvious that she was trying to seduce me but I stood my ground. I was definitely NOT going to sleep in the same bed as her ever again.
"Becky...uh I mean Camille" I started. I grabbed her wrist and guided it away from me.
"I don't want to have sex with you. And I definitely DON'T want to get back with you. OK?"
I pushed her off me and started walking away when she grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me back.
I sighed at how pathetic she acted. It is a pity when a girl or a guy whine for a person to stay. It is kind of embarrassing.
"Camille, let me go." I said as calmly as I could, though I was starting to lose my cool.
"Evan~.. you know I can make you feel good, why are you resisting?... you don't even have a girlfriend to sooth you anymore. You know your mom would love to have me as a daughter in law." She said with a seductive voice. Did she think that I was actually going to give in?
God, if you are there... please send help...
"I'm sorry ma-am, but what are you doing with my boyfriend?" OH thank the LORD someone decided to help me although it's like.. 7 pm and it's dark already.
Though I was grateful to whoever decided to step in and rescue me from this nightmare, my mouth dropped at the sight of the person that actually dared help.
The person that pitied me enough and decided to end my suffering is non other than Aaron Right. The person that annoyed the sh*t out of me. The one that lives next door to me and my extremely dumb coworker.
Even though I hated him with all my might, I decided to play along since he could get me out of here.
"Aaron! Please get me out of here, baby!" Camille gasped when I called Aaron baby. Probably because she didn't expect me to get another girlfriend so quickly, let alone a boyfriend.
He came forward and grabbed me, pulling me away from her. Thank the lord.
Camille looked mortified. Her thickly lipstick covered lips were parted and her eyes were wide. She looked like ghosts were standing in front of her, and not two perfectly normal human beings.
"I don't believe you. There is no way you are gay Evan. I have known you my entire life and there never was a discussion about you liking boys so you can stop playing now." She said confidently.
My eyes grew wide and I gulped when she said that. What..how... what am I supposed to do now?
While I was panicking, Aaron over here was sweating confidence. Again, why can't I be like him?
"You want proof?, then here you go." He said before grabbing my chin, turning my head towards him and then he did something I think will haunt me forever.
He connected our lips together and started kissing me. HE STARTED KISSING ME. Tongue and everything.
This will sound very weird, but it felt peculiar. Like... I know this was just for show, but it didn't feel like a kiss full of hatred. He was kissing me with such intensity I wanted to kiss back, and I did for half a second before realising what I did and immediately stopped.
I could hear Camille gasp dramatically behind us and footsteps that were getting quieter and quieter by the second.
The kiss finally ended and I quickly pushed him away embarrassed. I brought a fist to my mouth and bit on it.
"Th-..thanks for helping me out." I said before dashing away without another word.
This was a very interesting day that I hope I will never ever remember.
How am I supposed to face him tomorrow at work!??
This day really couldn't get any worse.
