Now or Never (part four)

                                         Part four

I quickly grabbed an employment application off the top of the counter and handed it to Jacob “oh he’s here to apply for a job, right?” I said as I turned and looked at Jacob with a suspicious facial expression. “Yes sir, I need a job to earn college tuition.” See only I knew he was telling a lie because, Jacob’s family is loaded and they’re sure to pay for his tuition. “Okay so why are you behind the counter, couldn’t you just get the application from in front of the counter. I turned to Jacob and bit my lip with nervousness.

Kenny intruded the conversation “well Mr. Knoxville, this guy right here offered to help me stock these movies back up. Mr. Knoxville looked at Jacob, before asking “is that true?” and Jacob turned to Kenny before agreeing. “Okay well since I’m here I guess I can interview you in my office and you can fill out the application in there too, follow me” Jacob slowly walked from behind the counter grazing my hand on his way out. Of course he did it intentionally. I sat down and close my eyes before, turning towards Kenny and thanking him. “I was sure that you would rat me out.” I said and he replied “now why would I do that, you never ratted on me when I make out with the customers. “True” I replied.

A customer walked into the store and I stood up to assist him. “Can I help you?”

And he replied “Yes, I’m here to return a movie” I said “okay” as I took the movie that he returned and scan it to see if there were any late fees; before placing it on the back counter with the other movies that the customers return. “Thank you” As I saw that he had returned it on time as usual. He was one of our usual customer, but I never really gotten around to asking his name. I sat back down after looking at the clock and noticing that it was only thirty after six. “Huh boy” I said as I sped around in the chair over and over again almost throwing up until Jacob and Mr. Knoxville came out of the office in the back.

            “Welcome our new employee his name is Jacob.” Mr. Knoxville said. “He got the job?” I said excited, yet not really suspicious so that Mr. .Knox wouldn’t suspect that I had already knew him. Mr. Knox looked around before saying “you all can go home; this place isn’t really busy today.” I looked at him and shook my head agreeing; to be honest I would say anything to get out of this place and be alone with Jacob. I locked the register and handed Mr. Knox the key before heading from behind the counter and punching myself out.

            “So when do you start working Jacob?” I asked lowly but loud enough for everyone to hear. Jacob turned to Mr. Knox waiting for an answer “Well Jacob starts working tomorrow morning. So how was your last day of school Ashley?” I looked at him hoping that he wouldn’t bring up what we always talk about on our lunch breaks together.” I replied “It was okay, but really boring.” And he replied “So did you tell him?” And I replied “yeah” and he asked “So what happened?” I turned to Jacob before looking back at Mr. Knox and replying “He said” Thanks”. “Thanks?” Mr. Knox shook his head before handing the box that he walked into the store with.

            “What is this for?” And he replied “Just open it and find out.” And I asked “Why can’t you just tell me?” and he insisted “Just answer it Ashley Rene Henderson.” And I replied “Well that’s one way to put out my government.” I placed the box on the counter then, took my keys off my belt holder, before finally slicing it open with one of my keys. I pushed back all of the unnecessary wrapping and looked at what was inside the box. “Oh my good ness it’s pretty.” Jacob and Kenny walked over to the box and looked inside before backing up and saying yeah it’s cute. It was a hot pink Mac computer.

            “That’s for you when you go to college in the fall; I knew you liked to write so I bought it for you.” And I replied “Thank you so much” As I walked over to him and gave him a hug. See I might have exaggerated on how big the box was. My definition of small is different from everyone else’s, because other would call the box medium. I let go of Mr. Knox and grabbed the key off the counter and put them on my belt buckle before grabbing the box and walking over to the front door “can we leave now?” And he replied “Yeah you guy can leave I will lock up. I left out of the store and walked to my car, unlocked the door and placed the box on the passenger’s side seat. Then I walked over to the Driver’s side and sat down, put on my seat belt and grabbed my cell phone out of my pocket and called my mother.
