I hate today. I just hate it. I walked to the storage area and pushed on the door which served as the employees entrance and exit. I fished around my pockets looking for the last cigarette. I knew I had somewhere. I've already used all my breaks for the day, but I think this is a good reason for me to blow off some steam.
Why is Friday always, and I mean always getting all the good shifts? And don't tell me it's because she has the perfect figure, or that she is beautiful I especially hate the way her long black hair is all over the place.
The way she is always smiling just irks me, like 'oh look at me, happy go lucky. La dee da., that's Friday all right.
What is up with the name Friday? For the umpteenth time today a customer asked her that, and do you want to know her answer she would smile, shrug her shoulder and simple say 'That's my moms' favorite day.' She was featured in 'Toys Galore' the store monthly magazine for the fourth friggin time. I'm not angry, well maybe just a little, and mad jealous.
I really wanted the day shift on Christmas Eve, but this business has nothing to do with seniority, hell, this is a right to work state, but the pay is so damn good. Fourteen dollars to supervise, it's just right for a frugal girl like me. There is nothing wrong being cheap and single and you have to be single if you WANT to make the most of the 'What happens here, Stays Here' in Las Vegas. Where else can you gamble, wine, dine, sleep with a good-looking tourist, wake up the next day and move on.
I'm not that bad looking, let's start with the top. I have black hair, its short and extremely kinky. I refuse to process my hair I take better care of it in its natural state. Dark brown eyes, and a very good nose, I need to thank my doc for that. Full lips, good shoulders, nice arms, big tits 36D and they're real. Very curvy below, no flabby stomach, my secret, suck it in girl, Suck. It. In, oh yeah and the gym. Strong legs, all this running back and forth, up and down in this place is crazy. I will not talk about the back, where the front is good it suffers in the back. My sibling would make fun of me.
"Taffy!" I heard the shout before I saw the face but why should I be surprised
"What is it Friday?" I asked as I lite the cigarette I watched her head popped out the door, "Oh there you are, she paused, didn't you just had your last break?"
I took a long drag from the cigarette before I answered, "And?"
"Oh nothing. The guy that Brian hired is here, so if you can show him what to do, that would be great."Friday said with a smile
I wanted to tell her where she and Brian can take this new guy, but I held my tongue, not because she is the manager, but because she is 'doing' Brian the boss, and everyone knows this. How else is everything so 'Hands Down' (no pun intended) for her?
"I'll be there in a moment." I said.
I know she wanted to say something else, but decide against it and closed the door instead. I had about three more drags, but I dropped it to the pavement and mashed it and walked back inside. I caught Friday's eye when I entered the front and she pointed to a tall guy to her left. She said something to him and he turned around.
Okay, he's cute, I hope he has a brain under that wavy head of his. I don't want to train a moron. This is the guy they hired? I purposely took my sweet time walking up to them. Friday was laughing at something he said
"Hello." I said They turned around
Friday quickly made the introductions, "Taffy, this is Alex, Alex, Taffy. Okay great. Now Taffy teach him everything." And then she was gone, I'm sure to go look for Brian
He looked taller, "Okay Alex I hope you're ready to work." I said with one of my best smile
Alex nods his head
I quickly gave him the history of 'Toys Galore': The seventh best place in the world where you to buy, and order adult toys. I made sure that he always answers line seven and twelve because those are the other stores in California and Florida, and they come first because they might need something we have. I showed him where the smoking area is. He doesn't smoke. How the breaks and shift worked out. I made sure Alex know where to clock in and out and how to work the register and fill orders that needs to be shipped out.
After the tour and the protocols the guidelines and policies I welcomed Alex to the family, "So Alex are you going to be okay?"
"Absolute."
"Great." I said
In the next few weeks, Alex held onto his own really well. What a fast learner. He knew I was all business so he was always professional with me, but sometime when he thinks I wasn't looking I would catch him steal a glance or two at me.
A few of us were going to the bar around the corner to chill so I asked him if he wanted to come, he was surprised and gladly accepted the invitation. As we all made our way out the door, Casey another employee told him that it is a smoking environment.
Alex smiled, "I said I don't smoke. I'm okay with that. I'm not stopping anyone from filing their lungs with the nic."
"Nic?" Casey asked
"Yeah, nicotine."
"Oh." She said slightly embarrassed
"Are we going or are we going? ." I said impatiently at the door
Everyone got their stuff together and followed me out the door. The place was packed for a Wednesday night. It was fun, Casey got drunk and started to get crazy all of us shouting how much she loves us all over and over again. Everyone was paired off with other patrons in the bar so it was just Alex and I at the bar
"So Taffy." Alex said
"So Alex." I said
"What's your story?" He asked I was feeling really good, "No story."
My head felt heavy all of a sudden and I don't know why I did it but I leaned over and rest my head on his shoulder.
"You smell good."
I think he laughed
"Todd, I pointed to my empty glass, another one please."
Todd shook his head, "Sorry babe you had your limit, want some soda instead I can put a lime in it?"
"Really I only had two."
"Yeah and four Christmas nogs, Taffy you're wasted." Todd said shaking his head
I was surprised," Oh, well I guess that's it for me, Todd can you call me a cab?"
"It's been done babe, your sharing a cab with Casey, she's just as bad as you are, except you're a silent drunk
"Todd I'm not drunk. I'm just carefree." My head was still on Alex shoulders, "God Alex you really smell good."
"Thanks" He said
Then I drew a blank from there
The next day Casey and I both were nursing our coffee in the break room when Friday and Alex walked in
"I heard about your wild night." Friday said
"From whom?"Casey asked
"Well from everyone." She said
