Trainee
Vince had only taken about three hours to style his hair and get dressed, a new record for himself. Howard had been sat waiting in the shop downstairs as per usual but was surprised to see his best friend waltz down the stairs in a sleepy daze only over two hours late instead of five or six hours.
"Morning." Howard mumbled as he tapped his pen against the counter, Vince muttered a reply still half-asleep and sat in the chair by the window after scooping up his magazine.
"Anything interesting gonna happen today?" The mod asked as he flicked through the glossy pages idly.
"Doubt it." Howard carried on tapping the pen against the counter, the noise didn't annoy Vince only made him bob his head along with it, the shop was silent and dead for an hour and a half until finally Naboo and Bollo turned up from a Shaman party that started two nights ago.
"Alright Naboo?" Vince asked not bothering to look up from his magazine, the Shaman nodded and ordered his familiar to take their bags upstairs.
"Where's the trainee?"
"The what?" Howard asked looking back the tiny Shaman looking confused. Naboo turned to Vince only to receive the same stare back, he sighed and dropped his arms down by his sides.
"The trainee worker. My mate Claire Ashcroft phoned me up, asked if I could take him on. Said he needed a proper job to pay her back for something? I wasn't really listening."
"Great, lot of help that is." Howard muttered while rolling his eyes, the Shaman ignored him and carried on.
"He should have been here about three hours ago. Has no one been in at all?" Both men shook their heads at their flatmate who rolled his eyes "Keep an eye out for him then. I'm gonna go phone Claire." Before either men could speak, Naboo had disappeared up into the flat. The best friends shared a look of concern and puzzlement, Howard turned back to the pen and the counter while Vince lowered his magazine and stared out the window up and down the street.
"Wonder who it will be." He mumbled after a while of silence "Do you think it will be a cute girl, Howard?"
"Is that all you ever think about? Girls?"
"No…I think about how my hair looks too…And whether a certain top matches certain jeans…I don't just think about girls, how shallow do you think I am?" Howard stared at his dizzy friend and shook his head in bewilderment "Do you think that's the trainee?" Vince pointed to a young man across the road walking a dog, he had a mobile phone plastered to one ear and was talking rather angrily into it.
"I hope not."
"What about her?" He pointed to a woman buying a coffee in the shop over the road.
"Probably not, Vince." Howard sighed showing he was getting frustrated.
"Maybe her…Or that guy, hope it isn't her though." He shuddered visually and continued to point out the window annoying his best friend further "Oh please let it be her!"
"Just shut up, Vince! The trainee is three hours late, what makes you think he or she is even going to bother turning up? And what makes you think they will be interested in you?"
"Everyone's interested in me, Howard." The older man shook his head again and was about to speak until Naboo came down from the flat.
"Right, he's on his way. Claire found him in the backroom of the office havin' a spliff. She's bringin' him round. Just to warn you."
"Thanks for giving us plenty of notice, Naboo." Howard pointed out slamming the pen onto the counter.
"You'll be fine. Just make him do the little jobs like sweep up and make the tea. As long as Claire gets her money for whatever he broke."
"He?" Vince asked looking curious turning his attention away from the street outside.
"Yeah, he. They'll be here in about five minutes so…Sort yourselves out and call me down when they arrive."
"Will do." Vince nodded and turned back to the window "Wonder what he'll be like." Howard sighed and yet again rolled his eyes at the mod.
