"I asked for no ice. This soda has ice in it."
"sorry ma'am I will get you a new one right away." I had been working here for the past 3 days and this happens more then you would think. I Don't mean for it to happen but sometimes, right before a movie starts, the lobby gets packed.
"Here you go. Enjoy the rest of your movie." I could care less about what her movie is about and if she enjoys it or not. My shift ends in 25 minutes and I am eager to leave.
A movie I wouldn't mind watching is the If You wish horror film that came out a few days ago, it sounds awesome but I haven't had the time. I look up when I see light come in the door and I recognize who walks in. Liam.
"hey, I want a large coke and popcorn." Liam looked at me right in the eye the whole time. Even when I moved to get his order.
As I was getting the popcorn with my back facing him, I could feel his eyes on me. When I turned I saw his eyes...go up. Was he just checking me out? I don't think a guy has ever done that to me before.
"here you go. That will bring your total to $15.09. Anything else?" I asked in my friendliest voice possible.
"Is the movie if you wish any good." He smiled and looked me up and down.
"I wouldn't know. Haven't seen it. It has one of the best reviews though. Enjoy your movie!" I turned to go to the side door that led to the office when I felt a hand grab my wrist.
"Do you want to see it?" He asked me with a wide grin, "With me?"
"Sir, please unhand the employee of we will have to escort you out immediately." My co-worker miles said.
As Liam let go of my wrist I mouthed "no" at him with a serious look on my face.
"See you Monday then." Liam said as he grabbed his soda and popcorn and walked toward the movie hall.
"You okay bro. Did he want money or something. Are you in a gang?" Miles asked.
"I am not in a gang. He was just someone from school who didn't realize I was working and shouldn't be bothered. Thanks." I reassured him that there was nothing going on.
Me and Miles have become pretty close friends since I started working here. I even found out he goes to the public school about half a mile from Lancaster. So we meet up before work and walk there together. On Saturday after my shift we went to a skate park and just hung out until I had to go home.
I guess Derek wasn't kidding. Lucky me. I just hope I become old news. And soon. Once my shift is over me and Miles say our goodbyes and walk in diagonal paths of each other.
All the way home I just kept thinking about how Liam actually hit on me today. I mean I am straight. I don't know why I wanted to say yes to his offer. No. No I know why I wanted to say yes to his offer. I wanted to watch that movie. He better not spoil it or I am going to be livid.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dude, you are never going to believe what happened to me yesterday...No it was Saturday. Well anyway, I got a new phone. " Derek said as he took out the new phone he just got, "I was so happy to see it sitting on my desk when I got home. Mine has been cracked and abused for far too long!" He said raising the hand the phone was in in the air.
"congrats." I said with a quick smile.
I tried to be supportive, but right now I had something on my mind. Or, more accurately, someone. I don't think I have ever thought so much about a person this long. Not even who my parents are. This whole thing confused me. I didn't even know him yet, I came to the realization last night that if I had feelings for him I should act on them and see if what I am feeling is something or nothing at all.
"-at a dick."
"What? Who?" I only heard a very small part of whatever Derek was saying and wanted him to repeat it, but I also had to keep my eyes peeled for Liam.
"I knew you weren't paying attention to me. I was just saying a bunch of curse words used in sentences until you said something." Derek smirked at me, "And it worked!"
Liam! I spotted him all the way down the hall walking in my direction talking with three other people. "I gotta go, but I will see you in class." And with that I walked over to Liam and his friends.
When I reached him I interrupted one of his friends mid-sentence, "we need to talk." Looked at his friends again before saying, "Alone."
"Alright then," Liam gave me his perfect half smile, jeez, I remember when I gave those and girls swooned over it. "Talk later guys?" His friends all nodded yes as we went into the boys bathroom.
After checking to make sure the stalls were all empty, I locked the door and kept thinking to myself, whatamIdoingwhatamIdoingwhatamIdoing over and over. when I was standing right in front of him I realized we were almost the same height he had me beat by like a centimeter!!
"Yes...?"Liam said in a tone just above a whisper.
Fuck it I thought, as I put my mouth on his the first thing that came to mind was his lips are surprisingly soft. As Liam kissed back he started to trace his tongue on my bottom lip daring me to refuse. I opened my mouth and we were officially making-out. Faster then I would have thought, I started to lose my breath and needed air. We broke apart and I knew. Not if I was gay, but that I wanted to that again.
